Eh if you're wanting to do performance mods you might not want either. But I drive a turbocharged 1mz-fe Camry, so what am I talking about...

both suck for modding

and depends on which body lines you like more.....I like the camry body lines more...but the es300 is much better build quality and luxury than the camry

The Gen 3 Camry and gen 1 ES is the same.
The Gen 4 Camry and gen 2 ES is the same.

If you want performance and a modification platform, dont buy either.
