Used 2012 Lexus ES 350 Sedan Consumer Reviews

Nothing Like a Lexus

I could not afford a new Lexus. But still so happy with the 2012 I just purchased as a pre-owned vehicle.

Great investment!

Hot wheels!

Best car I have ever owned, fast, economical & comfortable!

2012 ES 350 : Last of the Run

The 2010 , 2011 , and 2012 ES 350 are the last of the production run for the model . History since 1990 shows the end of the run with Lexus are the best of the best cars . We bought a 2011 , and 2012 Ultra Luxury with the Levinson radio . The Es's are as near perfect as one can buy . Do not hesitate , on the Es . History will rate them like '55 chevy's . Don't hesitate , buy em' before it's too late . This sedan is a 10 .

Don't Buy the Nav System - ES350 (2012-16)

This is our fourth Lexus. We bought the last three new. Until this model, we liked the car, the value, and the features, even though the latter are pricey. We bought our 2012 ES-350 brand new. The navigation system in it is not up to snuff. Moreover, there have been no major improvements in that system in the ensuing ten (including the 2022 model). In all honesty, a $270 voice-activated off-the-shelf Garmin 2797LMT runs circles around the system for which Lexus has the gall to charge $2,600. I believe that the senior manufacturing executives at Lexus are too pig-headed and/or arrogant to embrace the idea that they might not be able to make every feature as good as it should be and, therefore, it makes sense to rely on outsourcing, no matter how hard that might be on their inflated egos. The fact that the navigation system has not been either improved or junked completely since December 2011 affirms the arrogance of Lexus USA executives. Another tell-tale sign: If one calls the 800 Lexus number, one learns that Lexus management refuses to give the phone reps the tools to do their jobs: they can't see my instrument panel on their monitors. Therefore, they can't see what I'm talking about, so they cannot help. First, Lexus management shafts its customers. Then it kneecaps its own employees. Are these executives raging incompetences or what??!
