Cool

It dependant on a ton of things.
One is that they used the 3vz-fe in '92 and '93 with the 1mz-fe from 94+
Two condition of the car
Three how you drive

Mileage isn't bad. The lowest I've ever done in mine is 18mpg peeling out and playing with a tank of gas. I average 20-24, it really depends on how much you like to accelerate. if it's all the time don't expect to top 22mpg combined, otherwise it'll be a bit higher.

I'd say a *normal* driver should get 24mpg combined.
btw Noone get's 30mpg on any ES300. I dont' care what highway trip you take, it'll never happen. You couldn't get 30mpg in any year ES 250/300, even the rare '92 3vz-fe 5-speed manual can't get 30mpg on the highway ROTFLMFAO!

Reliability is slightly higher than a Camry.

Sorry to disapoint you ,but i get 600km for 60 liters of gas
10L /100km

i get just a bit better than their average with my tons of crap inside the cap and 18inch chromes.
But unlike most i have owned my car from almost new ,so i know what it has been through as i am the one to do all maintance and upgrades.

FYI: I get around 26 to 28mpg average in my ES250's. And I have hit 30+ in the stick (not often, but has happened)
