Important read if shopping or analyzing reviews...
I have a 2016 ES ultra luxury, and have had a 2008 in the past. The ES is a terrific car for real world use, it will out-handle what most will ever throw at it. It's not a car for a track..but neither really is a C class or 3 or 5 series BMW that I've owned, and they were in no way as serene nor exciting (except when the warranty runs out, or you deal with condescending service departments). The Lexus ES is as luxurious and reliable as you can find anywhere close to it's price range, has a unique 'feel' of quality and thoughtfulness that can't be checked off on a checklist when shopping, you have to own it to notice it. Is it sporty? No. There's not much luxurious about 'feeling the road' unless you're on a track or rare weekend journey, and for that, you can get a real sports car. If you want a sportier 'edge' in a sedan, the GS is very nice and still solid. When shopping for the ES, know that with it being quiet, it's very noticeable which wheels and tires you get. They come with either Michelin or Bridgestone from factory, the particular Michelin they use is rated as top 3 by tirerack.com, the Bridgstone dead last. You can tell when you drive it, and from some reviews who say it's not the car they expected, they always photo Bridgestones on larger rims...which you also may want to avoid. The 17" wheels for 2016 look great, but if you get ultra luxury, you have to swap out the 18". I know..an inch less, but test drive for yourself, the 17", and on a Michelin (Not Bridgestone) tire is what you'd like. in 2016 they also updated suspension and added more sound deadening. It's noticeable if you drive it back to back with a prior year. It's 80% of the top of the line Lexus LS, for almost half the price. It's a hard model to ignore, unless you're trying to impress people who insist that luxury must be sporty and rough edged.

5th ES 350, Best yet.
I have leased/ purchased 12 Lexus vehicles prior to the 2016 ES 350, including 4 ES's, 3 RX's, 3 IS's, and 2 GS's. I currently have a 2015 GS 350. My 2014 ES 350 was coming off lease and was traded for a 2016 ES 350 Luxury with 18 wheels. I looked at several other brands this time, but kept coming back to Lexus as the lease deals are hard to beat in this segment. I was very surprised how much better the '16 is verses the '14. The 2014 ES 350 was ok, but had several downfalls. The ride was just ok, bumps got through. I hated the wood steering wheel, among a few other things. That car was sort of a marsh mellow. Mushy steering, handling, seating etc. The 2016 has greatly improved these things. The seats are better, being slightly firmer with good support for long drives. The steering is more direct. There is definitely more sound deadening in this new one. The ride is much better, with much improved absorption of bumps. I'm not going to debate the spindle grill, thats personal taste. It does blend in well on this design, unlike some other Lexus vehicles where the spindle protrudes. I recently completed a 7 hour drive, and my hands didn't hurt with the new steering wheel design. It is much more padded than the old one. I thought I would never used radar cruise, but it worked flawlessly on a long trip. This is primarily my wife's car, and she really likes it. I feel its a big improvement over the previous ES. The dealership experience was great as well. Is it perfect? No, but neither is any car out there. What could be better? Start with Lexus Enform. Ridiculous amount of steps to remote start the car. Apps are useless, better just to have the passenger use their smart phone. There are still some hard plastics in the interior, such as on the door panels, and where the driver's right leg hit the center console. Is it a GS 350? No way, but that car is more expensive. The ES has a very large rear seat, uses regular fuel, and is priced very well in this segment. Overall, I am very satisfied with this car. I am very happy that there has been refinements over the previous one.

Why I purchased my Lexus ex350
This is a great car.not only in luxury but in value. I have shopped Acura Tl, too small for a large size man, same with Camary and Accord. My main concern was with the new safety technology , I was a driving school supervisor years ago. It has all since I went with the most options, Radio is outstanding Mark Levinson is worth the price. I have owned Infinity Q45, G37x, Acura TL, Acura SL, and Toyota Prius, nothing compares with the car or its value Thank you Lexus, and my 1986 Cressida was just a sample of your quality. Just a note I have not been advised or paid for this endorsement Again, what a auto Stewart Charaton

Transmission issue
I've only had my 2016 ES 350 since December of 2015. It only have 5000 miles.Love my car until this past July my car starting doing some weird sound after taking off from a traffic stop light. Once I accelerated the car it made like loud thump and the speed diminished. I couldn't make the car go over 20 miles per hr because it started to make the thump sound again. Also the traction control came on when it made the sound. Long story short I got a tow truck to take my car to the dealership and they made the analysis and it turns out to be the transmission. But according to Lexus consumer hot line and the dealership they only cover a refurbished transmission not a new one. So for right know I am paying for a vehicle that is not drivable and going back and forth with Lexus to get a new transmission. This has been a big headache we just going to have to see what the outcome will be for my car.

Lexus - December to Remember
I was looking to buy a left over 2015 Lexus ES350 but the 2016 is a redesign and looks better in my eye. Dealers will discount 2015's msrp by 10% But when they did the same with the 2016 it was a no brainer. Do get the navigation package - it's worth the extra IMO. One last note - if the VIN starts with "J" like jar it's made in Japan which my mechanic sez is a good thing.

Best Es yet
This is a very comfortable car. I came from a 2014 328i M sport. That car was great too but it was a little small for a family. Plus the reliability scared me every time I got in it. Not this Lexus though. This is a family car! I never worry about if something expensive is going to break or going into limp mode "bmw". I am 35 years old and I always thought I will look like an old man in this car. You know what this car makes you mature and look established. The led headlights are bright and show the road well. The navigation still looks like my 2008 Toyota Camry navigation though. I really wish Toyota would update their nav systems. The seats are la z boy comfortable. I am ready for a road trip. Standard stereo is more than enough. More than enough acceleration and very serine interior. I definitely would buy this over any other brand. Bmw drives nice but costs way too much. Acura is boring, Mercedes is over rated and Audi is in trouble. Buy a Lexus! Update: After owning the car for about 6 months. I decided to go back to my bmw 328i 2016. I miss the road handling characteristics of the car. The lexus was nice don't get me wrong. Two weeks after buying the lexus the presidential collision system went out on the vehicle. They kept it for a few days because they couldn't figure out what was wrong. So they finally fixed it and wanted to keep the car longer and do research on it! Um thats ok give me my car please. Got a crack in the windshield that was a nightmare because lexus needed to recalibrate the lane departure warning also. And then after five months of ownership lexus recalled the brakes saying the vehicle can become uncontrollable. OK I was done then. My first bmw I owned for a year never had a recall or any problems. But lexus is supposed to be the most reliable. So I'm back with bmw. I just couldn't get past the problems and the lack of technology of the lexus. I do miss the size and the price of filling the tank though. The paint is better quality on the Lexus also. Everyone says if you want a good ES then get a 2010-2012 model. 2013 and up is when they started to cut costs.

Redesigned 2016 Lexus ES 350 Luxury Package
This is my 6th Lexus. Previously owned GS, 3 Rx models over the years and currently have an IS 250 that my wife drives. I was in the market for a new car and seriously considered other luxury models including the new C300 Mercedes, BMW 5 series, Cadillac CTS even toyed with the idea of the Porche Macan. I thought after many years of Lexus maybe I wanted a fresh change. After viewing, researching, and pricing the different models with options and overall editor and customer reviews Lexus was still #1 in reliability and value. I had driven the 2015 ES 350 when my RX was in for service and was impressed with the comfort and handling. When the 2016 came out I truly loved the redesign with the new front end and rear end. I test drove it with the 18" wheels and was very impressed. Quick, smooth, quiet, comfortable, and a truly upscale luxury interior. Before I made my decision I decided to wait and test drive the new 2016 RX when it hit the market. For me the 2016 ES 350 just handled beautifully and I am extremely happy with my purchase. I have the luxury package which includes the new leather seat design with double stitching, 18" wheels, and the one touch power trunk. This is a wonderful luxury car and a great value.

Review after first week
Overall experience is great. It feels like a driving a spaceship! (Considering that I have never driven a luxury car before). One thing I am not crazy about is the door slamming. Those doors don't close easily. Both I and my passengers find ourselves miss the first try a few times. The acceleration is not the best which I have expected but somehow still feel the need to say it here. The look of the car (in and out) is awesome. I am a fan of the spindle grille (that is all that matters). Somehow the feeling of sharp image but comfortable ride works out for me. The white color (eminent pearl white) I chose does bring some challenge in the days after a snow. The fact that this is a nice and new car make the dirty mud on the car less bearable.

Good But not the best
Been driving about a month now. Changing from Audi A6 07 model, ES gives me more comfort and convenience yet I can't give it five stars since it has a bit unsturdy lower body in the highway driving. Also it has lot of IT stuffs, mobile connections etc. However the User interface is not really user friendly. For instance, it's hard to control the navigation. There's no Navi button anywhere in the panel. In order to go to Nav, at lease two or three steps you need to use fake mouse that ES provides. And its map is really crappy. Voice recognition needs a lot of improvement compared to other German cars. The default speakers are acceptable, but some AM radio stations (although it has HD radio option) sound almost inaudible. The manually folding side mirrors are design fault in the big sized car like ES. Its gas tank is such small that allows to go upto 350 miles with full tank. I know I sound a bit harsh but these are my impression of 2016 ES350.

first 9 months with Lexus ES350
This car is delightful to drive! The ride is so very quiet - no road noise at all! The stereo (standard issue) has an amazing sound. The mileage I'm getting is between 24- 25. This is mostly rural/suburban driving of about 20 miles a day. I've had the car for 9 months - about 7,000 miles - and I've had zero issues. The technology is too involved to figure out for myself - I called and spoke to the dealership's technology person, but found her not very helpful. I didn't get much training on the technology at the time of purchase/lease - so that was unfortunate for me. I live several hours from the closest dealership - so they sent someone to pick up the car for its 6 month check up, they washed it and returned it the following day.

First foreign car
This is our first foreign made auto. This 2016 ES 350 so far is very nice for what we paid. We're a little disappointed with the bamboo interior. The seats appear to be turning dark at the perforated holes in the seat. I was advised to use simple green to clean it but I afraid this may change the color or make it worst. Please advise if anyone else have this problem.

Headrest issues prevent a sale!
This automobile was on my short list. Now, after several years, I am finally prepared to purchase a car that will last me for the next 10-12 years. Overall, I was very pleased with the 2016 es350 Ultra Luxury Sedan, and would have "plugged the trigger" and made the purchase. However, due to the terribly designed headrest in this car, I will sadly have to pass. What a shame! The car is everything I need and want. Unfortunately, there really is no way for me to be comfortable while driving. I tend to sit fairly erect when I drive, and the headrest makes me very uncomfortable. I am 6'0. Now, I am considering my other choice, 2016 Toyota Avalon Limited. Of course, it will lack several "luxury touches", but the headrest is not as intrusive as the es350. I wish Lexus would make an adjustable headrest that you could adjust an inch or two backwards. I know this is for safety, but I feel certain that I am not the only person that feels this way.

Unhappy with 2016 Lexus es350 Rides like a truck
If you have owned a 2011 or 2005 Lexus do not expect the same comfort inside or on the road. The seats are hard, road noise inside is bad and I am very dissatisfied with its over all ride and comfort, and road noise. Mine rides just a tad above my husbands 2015 Dodge truck. I don't know what happened to the quality but I am very unhappy with my new 2016 Lexus es350. I did not test drive it and that was a big mistake. However, I did not test drive my 2011 or 2005 and I am m not sure a simple test drive would have been enough to tell me how uncomfortable this 2016 was going to be. I trusted since I was buying a high end car like the lexus it would be of a quality I had known before. I am looking for a 2012 or earlier used lexus and will sell this one. I just hate that Lexus has fallen into the cheap car routine. Why not have leather seats?? I don't want a sports car I want a car that is comfortable. Very displeased with this new car would not recommend unless a person wants an sports rcar.

You Just Can't Go Wromg With The ES
I've owned Mercedes, Audi & BMW; but many more Lexus vehicles especially the ES. Listen, if you are a reasonable and mature adult - the ES is all you need. It's reliable, fuel efficient, luxurious and affordable. Ours is a lease but we will more than likely buy or upgrade. The Nightfall Mica over the Flaxen interior is very pretty and gets compliments often appearing as a much more expensive sedan. People are often impressed with the quality of the perforated vinyl seats. It's fast, again..it's quick; it will honestly surprise you in power driving mode. Build quality is excellent inside and out and no maintenance trouble. Just oil & filter changes every 10k and tire rotations every 5k. Don't fall into he German trap, think it over....we spend money on day and weekend trips instead of dummy light resets that cost $500-$1000

Nice old folks car
Purchased the ES 350 three months ago. Have 4600 mi. on it now and so far have been very pleased except for the fact that it has a stiffer ride than I thought it would have for a luxury car, shocks are to stiff I believe. I guess I'm to used to the old Cad's. The electrinics are a little to complicated for an 82 year old man but I'm shure they shoot for the younger set. Quality of design and style are nice and well put togther and everything fits very nice. Tax and license out the door was about $42,500

No Complaints
I bought my ES 350 used with 29,000 miles. It now has 40,000 miles. Oil changes and tire rotations are the only services. Rides like new, quiet, and very comfortable. Lots of safety features, which was the main reason for purchasing the car. Excellent value. No complaints

What's missing?
This is a Luxury automobile and as such should have luxury features. It has quite a few but here is what it does not have. I think I am bothered as much as to why these features are missing as I am that they are missing. First, there is no digital speedometer. Today’s analog speedometers are hard to see and under certain conditions very hard to see. With police having zero tolerance for speeds over the limit in some places the 20mph increments on the analog speedometer won’t cut it. My 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee has not one but 2 digital speedometers plus the analog. One is on the dash and one is on the navigation system and turns red if you exceed the limit. The Lexus has the hardware and processors to provide the digital speedometer but Lexus chose not to for on ES350. The dealer told me if I bought a more expensive model I could have it. I have 2 digital speedometers on my smart phone that are free. Second, there are no warning sensors to protect against high curbs. The low slung front end looks great but if you get too close to a curb you are in for a horrendous repair bill. The parking assist front sensors won’t help on high curbs. Add 2 more properly angled sensors and problem solved. I think this problem is well understood by Lexus and was left uncovered on purpose. My friends F150 Ford truck has 360 degree cameras that also do the trick. Hardly a luxury vehicle. Lexus wants to fix your front end damage$$$. Third, there is no “remote start” on the FOB. Most other cars have this. Lexus wants you to buy the Enform app that does this. The app costs a lot of money after the first year and there is such a delay to the actual remote start it is unusable in many situations. Once again my 4 year old Jeep has instant remote start on the FOB as do just about all other vehicles. Lexus says the app has other stuff like a vehicle locator. A vehicle locator can be had as a free app on any smart phone. After the first year, if you don’t pony up for the Enform Remote , Lexus says they will not help you find your stolen car. Isn’t that sweet. Fourth, there is no map button. You cannot touch one button in a hurry to get to the Navi map to see what the next street name is. You can if that’s you only home screen but that silly when the home screen has split screen capability. The Lexus used to have a map button but took it away in this generation. Yes the Jeep has one. Once again, this is an obvious omission….but why? There is a button to get to radio and media. How about a voice command you say. That takes you to the Navi but starts asking questions. They could have a “go to map” voice command but don’t. How about just hold the home button down to get there or any of 10 other ways. It's been a year now and what's missing is more bothersome than ever. Too bad, because other than being overpriced the ES 350 is a nice car. Lexus just sent me a notice that if I want to keep the Enform app it will cost $1200+ for 4 years. UPDATE: Now that it's 95 degrees outside and I see other car owners remote starting their cars with 2 clicks on their FOB to get the AC going like my lowly Jeep, I realize even more how duplicitous the Enform App really is. Update 2019. It's been 3 years now and to my knowledge the new ES350s still have no digital speedometer option on the center display. Look in the Lexus forums and you will see posts from disappointed owners. I also noticed if you don't pay for their expensive Enform App they remove the ability to input an address by voice in the Nav system. Isn't the Nav expensive enough as it is? Of course Google navigating can take me anywhere, is always up to date and free.

ES350 best all around car
I traded a 10 yr old GS350 for the new ES. I like the front-rear-and side warning beepers and blue tooth android connection for Pandora. There is a very slight degrade in handling stability compared to the rear wheel drive and suspension of the GS but more than made up by the quietness and comfort of the new ES. I got what I thought was a a good deal on the 2016 model - $7500 off MSRP and the $11.5k for the trade in of the '07 GS with 54k miles. The car has 400+ miles and so far no problems except for the Pandora dropping out occasionally. Car is as pleasure to drive. My only suggestions would be for an 8 speed transmission and a little tighter suspension for less roll on turns. UPDATE 1-25-17: Affirm the above but have some very minor complaints. The eform is awkward - poorly designed. It gets confused and loses Pandora connection and seeks another application I don't have installed. FM radio switches stations on its own. I don't listen to FM often. Lots of inefficient,distracting movements it operating the eform. I'm told the 2017 model has addressed some of this. Only 3500 mi on ODO. 1 Year Update July 2017 Still high marks for the car but the enform software still defective POS even after a so-called upgrade or update. Pandora works through the enform about 25% of the time. Has a hard time connecting and gets confused trying to connect with Slacker, which I don't use. It works 100% if I by-pass the enform and play it directly from the phone to the speakers via blue tooth.. I miss the smoothness and efficiency of an 8 speed transmission like my wife's RX -same model year and same 3.5 ltr. engine. She has the same issues with enform which fails trying to connect to Pandora. My guess is that next year's ES will have it. Update 01/20/2018 Np change - still a very reliable and comfortable ride. Technology now not cutting edge- state of the art - 6 speed auto trans lacks efficiency compared to wife's 8 speed in her RX. My next car will probably be electric, hybrid or turbo to reduce burden on the environment. 4 years old 22,000 miles - still runs great. No issues.

Not reliable
I have only had my car for less than a month and it has left me stranded five times by not starting. It's been in the garage twice already and the latest fix they want to make is a battery charger that I plug in at night because I don't drive far enough distances to charge the battery between trips. I guess I have to change my lifestyle to own a Lexus, not!!! Still not sure how they will resolve this, may be a temporary Lexus owner, same though cause I like the car, I have all the bells and whistles on it.

Bought it used. Love everything about it, Comfort, safety, shared mechanical's with Toyota Avalon, regular 6 speed tranny and not CVT junk that many have problems with, plenty fast, uses regular gas, still have PFI instead of GDI troubled system, interior is superb and quiet, perfect fit and finish. I love all Toyota products but this one is step above those. No regrets buying it, would buy one again.

Very Nice Car
I took it in for minor repair, which was covered by the warranty. They replaced a pulley and changed the oil. Other than that repair, the car is very reliable. City gas mileage isn't quite as advertised, but the highway estimate is spot on at 31mpg. I get lots of compliments on it's looks and it being a Lexus makes it even more attractive. I love this car.

Favorite ever!
Bought my 2016 ES 350 new, and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. My son is taking it to college and I’ve tried to sway him with other bro type cars Jeep, Truck, sports car…and he won’t budge. He LOVES my ES just as much. Never had one issue out of it. As long as he takes care of it, I intend to keep it in the family to see just how many miles we can put on it. As of June 2023, it only has 70k miles. College is 8.5 hours away so i imagine it will catch up to regular miles soon. I wish I could love a Lexus SUV model as much as the ES, but none of their styles are attractive to me. Currently in a BMW X3 M40i, and still love my old faithful and sexy ES more.

Lexus ES - A Camry in Disguise?
I really did not want to consider a Lexus after knowing that I could buy a similarly situated newer model Camry with more upgrades. But the moment I sat in this car and drove, I got an overwhelming sense of confidence, luxury and capability. I am not a tall guy (5'8"), but for some reason the drivers seat seems not to go all the way back. Look past that and the car performs flawlessly and smooth as silk. The engine is capable (especially in Sport mode), the ride is compliant if not so much as a Cadillac, and the comfort is good. Versus some other domestic cars (American) I've owned, the Lexus just feels more solid, stable and capable. And while not an issue for me, the car just looks bland compared to other sedans, and is barely discernable from a Toyota Camry. Otherwise good job, Lexus. You've stolen away a Cadillac / Mercedes Benz lifer!

This is the most reliable and comfortable LUXURY sedan l've ever owned. Maintenance is minimal so I did every one suggested. Tires and all fluids were changed as needed and not a day too soon. It insured me a undramatic 60k miles of a trouble free ride. Oh, she drinks Premium and will click her heels with the speed of a sprinter when requested! I Experienced Amazing!!

The seat sits a little low for me...I am short and have low profile tires. I could use a skinny pillow to raise me up higher for better visability. Very comfortable though. After 2 years it is still comfy but rides hard. The low profile tires make it a hard ride. Still fun, like a sports car!!!!

Please, just choose something else!
Leased this car about a week ago, salespeople used every ploy, including letting me test drive a car with better stereo. This is just a jazzed up Toyota sold as a luxury sedan. If you think Japanese cars are great then you might be tempted, don't! This is a cheaply built sedan, doors do not shut right, interior trim is made of thin plastic (just open the glove box - carefully so you don't tear it off - cheap) wind noise is loud at 70MPH, transmission and engine sound okay but I probably shouldn't hear them at all. The technology is flimsy and there just so you can have a box to check for your features. There is nothing remarkable about this car. There are many many finer cars on the market, if you don't like American and don't want to pay for German try Korean. I have known many people that have been very happy with KIA and Hyundai. Lexus dealers are like used car dealers, count your fingers if you shake hands with them! I will be so happy when I can return this car to the pirates that got me into it. Good Luck!

Great But!
This is a great car but an interior brake cover came off the second day out making a scary racket! Dealer promptly fixed it. The mileage is not up to EPA claim; why can't they get this right? Generally very happy and hope the brake cover problem is a fluke.

Wonderful luxury car at a reasonable price
Researched the Chevy Impala and Toyota Avalon, but went with the luxury, reliability and warranty of the Lexus ES 350. This car has just the right balance of technology features, comfort and quiet for which I was looking. This car has been a real blessing.

I wish it to be a true luxury car
Just bought the ES350 and on the way home I started to regret. I like the Lexus brand, had owned a RX330 back years ago. And I also owned a few Toyota cars. While I truely appreciate the look of the ES350, and cabin design and the infotainment system draw it back. The navigation is hard to get to, just like my other toyota, and the screen resolution is no different from my other toyota cars, which is low resolution and looks dated. The screen and the navigation make me feel like I’m driving a car made in a decade ago. And there’s no dedicated button to launch the navigation, I had to use the cumbersome ‘mouse’ to go through some steps to launch it. The whole system is no different than a toyota. And at night, the interior lighting look so like an old school car. And, how come a Japanese car’s system doesn’t support displaying Japanese and Chinese kanji? I own an Audi Q7 and had driven multiple BMW and Mercedes, they all support east Asia characters. Maybe I expected too much, but being a luxury car, the ES350 doesn’t match the bill. For people upgrading from toyota, it should be fine, but I doubt they can tell much difference from a toyota infotainment wise. But for the people that come from other luxury brands like Mercedes, Audi, BMW, they can tell the ES350 is not on par with the others, and they will just find them in a nicer toyota for most.

Too early to give an accurate opinion
I have barely put in 500 miles on this vehicle and it's still early to give an accurate assessment.

Happy owner
Noce car with a lot of neat features. The local mileage is reasonable but increases to 30 MPG Plus on the open highway when the transmission is set to "Economy". The dealer, The service and support of the dealership employees at Thompson Lexus is terrific. I'm glad I bought this car.

Ruby Red II
The car is greaat, the only issue I see with it is it does not display speed limits on the center display. We also have a 2016 Toyota Highlander and it displays speed liomits in the center display when in navigation mode.
