Had a 2003 Lexus ES and drove it until the wheels fell off. Not literally. But it was time to get a new car. I bought a 2014 Honda Accord. A great car, nothing to dislike. Traded it in for a 2011 Lexus ES 350 and while it was a slight step back tech-wise, the ride and feeling of the car more than makes up for it. Looking forward to driving the Lexus hopefully many years. Update: Still driving this wonderful car!

Found a used one with only 27000 km. The car is perfect. Smooth ride and powerful response when need it. All around quality is outstanding. Everything functions perfectly. I feel like back to the future since the car is 10 years old but completely new. What a blessing!. Nothing cheap in this car, nothing out of place. This is my first Lexus and I'm still in an awe of this car. Rare quality wonder from the past. I want to update this review because the car is even better than I thought at first. After 10 000 km I discovered that this cars is built forever. I had 0 issues and I believe all parts are still originals. I only had to change oil and service the brakes and that's the maintenance. The only negative is that to update the GPS map I will have to pay around 200$ which I gladly will to keep it functional. Everything else still flawless! I you can Git a Lexus E350 2011 for life!

The ES 350 is our go to car. We have three of them. The 2011 was the oldest and was purchased as a Certified Used Car with 32,000 miles on it in 2013. Came with a great warranty. Never any issues with car. Dealer always provided a loaner when tie to service. I put another 25,000 miles on it and then traded it in on a 2018 ES350. My wife wanted me to have the upgraded safety features that have come about over 7 years. The 2011 has a full sized spare which I would have loved to have in my 2018.

Imperfect Lexus Quality

Have chosen Lexus ES because of its well-known quality and reliability and value. Happy with its many well-thought features. Having read so much about uninspired driving experience, I didn't expect much about excitement. Still it has decent power and handling. However, the car already has rattles. A Lexus dealer said the rattle is from right front suspension; the car left in the dealer 2 nights and the issue was fixed under warranty. Now I hear another rattle from left rear side of the car. Researched online and found that Lexus under $40k, IS and ES, have had many rattle issues. Quite disappointed in this area.

moves from Infiniti (have owned 4) to a Lexus. Bought a used 2011 with only 30,000 miles. The car drives so smooth and handles extremely well. I’ll never go back to Infiniti.
