Lexus Delivers

After looking at many competing vehicles, including Mercedes E-Class, we settled on the ES 350 Pebble Beach edition, with nav and the usual amenities. The Lexus is quite reminiscent of the Benz E Class in power, room and fun to drive. The stats are quite close. Lexus keeps surprising us. We had one of the first RX 300s, and have had the ES 300. This new vehicle blows the predecessors away, with power, quiet and technology (as expected). On the minus side, the visibility could be improved with a higher windshield and back window. On the plus side is the ride quality, which is why we went back to Lexus.

Fantastic, except for the Navigation

I replaced a Mercedes E320 for the Lexus ES350. The Lexus is one of the smoothest driving cars I have ever owned. It is quiet, rides and handles great and gets great gas mileage.

Small nitpicks in a near-perfect car

Bought it over the Lunar New Year, got everything except Ultra Luxury package. Drives like it should. Have yet to take twisties but the car should be able to hold its own despite not being a sports sedan. Otherwise, wonderfully smooth and quiet--and fast! A few chinks in its armor of perfection: despite the stylish profile, the roofline is low as a result. I am just under 6'1" and I cannot sport an explosively spiky hairstyle in this car (I love contradictions). The glove compartment is unlit, which can be an annoyance at night.

10 years of use and I still love this care. It is like new. the few repairs that have been done were warranty, recall items and were done quickly. I have never owned a care as reliable as this Lexus and will buy another in the future

Don’t expect longevity. Expensive repairs.

Was fun to drive, good acceleration. Leather seats wore fast. Had to replace transmission at 135k miles. Blew head gasket and destroyed engine at 166k. Lots of expensive issues with brakes and suspension along the way. I was going to upgrade until my engine blew. I’m out Lexus.
