Performance differences between ES300 & 330?
Hi guys - this is just a curiosity thing. Has anybody driven both an ES300 and an ES330? I was wondering if the extra .3 liter displacement provided any extra "oomph" over the 3.0. I am guessing the 350's have some cojones.
I do like my 300 but would like a little more power some day.

Ive never driven the 330, but my father did on many occassions. We both feel like the 300 ('02-03) was a little underpowered; he told me the 330 felt just right and the extra power was really noticeable on the 4ES.

I test drove a 2012 350. Boy that thing has some neck snapping, wheel spinning power right off the starting line!
Either way, IMO its not worth it to upgrade to the same generation car (4ES) for just 25 extra horses.

And yeah I'm sure the newer 350s fly. They've got close to 300HP don't they? Not exactly in my price range though.
