Four years ago we purchased this car. It is still the most luxurious car we've ever owned. The two main selling points are a library quiet interior and an incredibly smooth rode. The interior is well appointed and luxurious... fit and finish is excellent. The V6 is smooth and powerful. This is not a sports car by any means. Body lean is significant on a clover leaf... so if that's what you want, I would look elsewhere. For a smooth cruiser that's a treat to drive - both long and short trips... it fits the bill in a really great way.

This is our fourth ES 350 lease. We love this car! We were also very pleased with the improvements made in just three years between our 2014 and 2017 model. We came to Lexus after leasing Acura for a number of years. Have also looked at Mercedes but they can't compare to Lexus ES 350. Suggest Lexus allow for more than two pages of XM channels. No need for 2 pages of AM channels.

Great look, very comfortable to drive, safety features are the best, actual mileage beats the advertised expectations, one of the best on the road today. Feature value is unmatched. After driving for one year now, this is my favorite car. Very comfortable, great safety features, economical, roomy and well appointed. After driving for a couple of years, this car can't be beat. Very reliable, comfortable, great safety features. Love it. This car after driving for 4 years now continues to deliver: comfort, safety, value, reliability, and everything else one could ask for. A great car. Been driving this car for 7 years. An excellent vehicle. No complaints. Very reliable, comfortable, excellent mileage, luxurious, quiet what more can I say.

This is my 4th Lexus. Two ESs and one GS before the current car. All are reliable. Take it to the bank. This '17 Es is very full featured, with nav, etc and i got the panoramic roof and the 18 inch upgrade wheels. It's noticeably faster on acceleration than my 2012 ES , yet it has the same 3.5 ltr v6, and I'm not sure why. Fit and finish are very good and the extra room the '17 has over the '12, primarily in the back seat is nice. Handling is typical Lexus, good but not great, but good enough that you can throw it around a bit, but not too much. All in all, a good car and worth the money. I started out wanting a BMW 5 and became convinced that this car is a better value than it and than the GS as well. would buy again. UPDATE 9/12/19. I like the car even more. Silky smooth ride and 30-31 mpg on the hwy at 75 mph.

It's not a hi performance car. It's extremely quiet and smoothness is very good. Technology is too complicated and distracting. The more you use it however, the easier it gets, especially if you can master the speech commands. Its Mark Levinson audio system is fantastic. Quality is evident in exterior paint, interior seating with adequate room for a 6'2" driver. Still bump my head occasionally on door opening, when exiting or entering drivers seat. I don't care for fake leather. Looks cheap in the cabin. However, it fulfills its entry level luxury car descriptions. I bought a Ultra Luxury package with panoramic roof, with all options offered, which overcame many of its shortcomings. I would not be happy with the ES350 equipped with a base or near base option package. My wife who is the main driver, shares my feelings on the technology, and is getting the hang of it. If you've ever owned a true luxury sedan, the Lexus ES350 is certainly a step down, but makes up for it with value, dependability, low maintenance cost, and low fuel cost. I still have my 1997 ES300. Interior is genuine leather and overall interior quality on the 1997 was much better. Still runs good and has about 285,000 miles. It’s obvious that car manufactures today are making cars lighter in weight, using cheaper quality materials, and using options and accessories to boost their profits. After 54,000 miles and 7 yrs of ownership my 2017 vehicle still looks and performs like new. Very happy with this purchase with no complaints and will probably give it to my great grandson when he has his 16th birthday in 5 more years. I gave his dad my 1997 lexus.
