Everything but the "New Car Smell"

This car gives the best ride I've ever experienced. (That says a lot since I've been driving for over 50 years.) Yes, I'm an "old guy", but that doesn't mean I'm looking for a car with the performance of a hearse. This is a very stylish, elegant vehicle that has the 'grip and go' that a fella needs to move through freeway traffic with ease. All of that while providing the quietest ride possible. My wife says that riding in this car is like riding around in musical sound room. Although it is two years old it is free of any squeaks or rattles that usually come with age.

After owning my ES 350 with Ultra Luxury package for 3 months, I am truly disappointed. Several rattles have developed in the doors, dashboard, and sunroof. When washing the car, water accumulates inside of the rear taillights. Overall, I'm dissatisfied in the build quality of the new ES.

Still having love affair with Lexi

I'm going to make this pretty short very satisfied. I'm 55 years old now and luckily I could barely afford this car but I just love the luxury. Some people don't like the base stereo but I have satellite and it sounds amazing when you turn the radio on though it does sound not the greatest long FM fm. I also don't like the air conditioner control where you have to go through the mouse a few pages. I have 65000 trouble-free miles there are no squeaks or rattles or knocks. It is pure blissful driving it and it does have a decent acceleration. I try to do all maintenance myself because Lexus does charge a lot on anything they do. I still have the original Panasonic battery working great six years later. I still have the original brake pads at 65000 miles. I love the trunk storage space which is vast. I love the feeling of the leather. I love rubbing my hand on the bird's-eye maple steering wheel and the winter steering wheel warmer is amazing. HID lights look amazing I don't know if they're worth the $550 option though. Navigation is pretty decent. I got the luxury package which is worth every penny I love the rain sensing wipers I love all the sensors are on the vehicle that are always warning me. To some people it's a very bland boring car. To me is pure beauty and insane reliability. It was built in Japan which I do think makes a difference. I could see owning this car for easily a couple hundred thousand miles. I thought about getting a new Avalon thought I read about all the cars fit and finish are not up to par and there's rattles in the car and I just credit that to being made in America. Japan workers seem to take more pride and concentrate on more detail than we do here.
Falls short

This would be my second ES350. I liked the '07' version better but this one does have many things I like. This one is pretty much loaded. The blind spot / cross traffic alert is great but a lot of vehicles have that now. I like streaming the music from my smartphone. Acceleration is very good but sometimes sluggish from the start. The window design is ridiculous. They slope into the car a fair amount so when it rains, water will drip on your arm, leg and seat when you open the door. There is no 'wow' factor in this car. There is just way to much wind and road noise. Most all road imperfections are felt. I will not buy another one.
Great Car

Best car I have ever owned. Two cars ago I had a Buick Lucerne with a Cadillac northstar V-8 engine. The car was fantastic. Drove as fast as I wanted and ran smooth as can be. The only problem was I was in Buick every month with something new breaking down. I was on a first name basis with everyone at the dealership. As soon as the car came out of warranty I traded it in for a Mercedes E350. That car ran great, great engine, excellent sound system, but uncomfortable as possible. If I drove more than 2 hours I was in excruciating pain. I couldn't get rid of that car fast enough. Traded that in for a Lexus ES 350 and I am in heaven. This car is as comfortable and as fast as the Buick but with PHENOMINAL reliability. I have only been back to Lexus for routine service. Last September I drove 12 hours to South Carolina and got out of the car like I just got in, no pains, no aches nothing. At times when I wasn't paying close attention I was driving at 95 mph and didn't realize it, that car is that solid and that comfortable. I have already decided my next vehicle will be a Lexus. The car is now 7 years old and still as reliable as new. I am 6ft 4 inches tall and there plenty of leg room. I switched my gas to 89 octane and increased my mpg to 23. Best car i have ever owned. Update: I traded in my es and bought an RX350. I am in my mid-sixties and it will be easier getting in and out of an SUV. I have the car 5 months now and absolutely love it. It is as comfortable as the ES and just as fast and I am sure just as reliable. Very happy.
