hey all!

im new to the es's (?) i have a 95 es 300. just got it, about 80 on the clock. anything to do to make this car a little quicker? nothing drastic, just a little interested. another thing, and this may belong in a lighting or electrical forum, but the left blinkers has honda syndrom (blinks SUPER fast) ive checked all the fuses and bulbs, nothing is burnt out or anything. any ideas?

I just had a look at this vehicle and the Optima. And although not very taken with them. I must say that atleast they complete the interior with wood grain.. I dont know why it is, but Lexus (Toyota) never seemed to do this.. Although the new 300-330 seems to be an exception.. I always found the interior of earlier model ES's as sub standard, as the wood would go to a certain point, and then they throw a black plastic head unit on top of it...Japanese, Korean or not, that looks tacky.. So I say that although I wouldnt buy a Kia, I definately give them credit for atleast trying to make the interior look luxurious!..

Only thing I can add was about the blinkers. Mine does the exact same thing, and I have no clue why. Last week the right blinker slowed to normal, and a day later it's back to fast. At least they're both fast now...

The Optima doesn't really compete with the ES 300 / 330....it competes more with the regular run-of-the-mill Camry. The newer (and larger) Amati was designed more to compete with Lexus....for about $8000-$10,000 less. The Amanti has a lot of luxury and equipment for the money, a plush interior, and an excellent warranty, but can't equal the Lexus fit-and-finish.
