My first luxury car purchase, used of course so someone else can take the depreciation hit, and I don't think I can ever go back to another less comfortable car. It is very quiet with an incredibly smooth ride. The cabin is classy, with high grade leather and wood grain accents. The steering and handling can best be described as silky. Keep in mind this is a luxury car, not a sports sedan, so it doesn't drive like a sports sedan. Highway mileage is 28 to 32 mpg, depending on speed and head wind. I had some warranty work done, (catalytic converters btw) and was VERY impressed by the Lexus dealer's service. 83,000 miles and appears as good as new. I will definitely look into a Lexus again.
Lexus is Luxury

We have owned this car for 3 weeks and have been pleased so far. We drove a BMW330i, Audi A4 and a Volkswagen Passat before buying the Lexus.Sitting in the Lexus for the first time, my wife and I looked at each other and said "wow, this is nice". Driving, the ES was serenly quiet, the Mark Levinson stereo and Nav system are great. What sold me more than anything on this car was the dealership experience. They were even going to deliver the car to our house and pick up the Acura we were trading in.....and we live 60 miles from the dealership.

This car has the mushiest transmission shift I have ever experienced. The car lags annoyingly when attempting to accelerate for passing at highway speeds, and never seems to select the appropriate gear for optimum performance. The fit, finish and luxury of the car are beyond reproach. Unfortunately, driving pleasure is marred by the transmission characteristics for which Lexus has no cure. I've had two Mercedes sedans recently and the ES300 just doesn't measure up to the performance standards set by the Benz's.
One of the best automobiles in the world.

Took trips to St Louis and Indianapolis.The ride and general comfortis better than I was used to after owning Park Avenues and LeSabres all my life. The standard sound system is fantastic. Climate control was wonderful. Tight well-built car.
