The car is quiet, comfortable, roomy and holds the road great even in strong winds. I especially love the backup up camera with the sensors that alert well in advance of moving people or vehicles, the car is low maintenance and easy on the pocket for repairs
Overwhelming car

I have been a loyal Cadillac owner, but decided to try a Lexus. I found the Lexus dealer to be very friendly, helpful and honest. I bought a fully loaded 2018 ES350. I have found the technology to be overwhelming. I was given a 'once-over' about the car at the dealership, which helped very little. I have attempted to read the various manuals, but have not become any more familiar with the car. I know that the CUE ratings for the Cadillac do not receive positive results, but the technology on the Lexus is so difficult and not logical , and cumbersome. While the Lexus gets very good reliability ratings, one should be aware of the daily use of the car. This care is built and designed for those that have a smart phone, which I do not nor wish to have. (One cannot have remote start without a cell phone, that is awful}. I do not expect to keep this car for long, but hope to return to Cadillac.

We bought this used in December of 2022. We've had a number of Toyotas in the past, and at least 4 Avalons. I never considered a Lexus because everyone told me that the Lexus was just a Toyota with a higher price tag. What a bunch of baloney! After my last Avalon (2010 Limited), I sprung for a 2018 ES350. What a difference!!! I looked at a 2016 Avalon, which was nice, but compared to this ES350, the Avalon seems like a Mickey Mouse car (and that's not to say anything bad about the nice Avalon; I'm just comparing). I wondered how could I have been so misled all these years? Lexus is indeed a major upgrade from a Toyota! The ride, quiet interior, interior quality, the intuitive controls, etc, are all a step above the Avalon. The car lets me program it to perform the way I want it to; the settings menu is deep and can be confusing at first (like many complex things) but I got used to them quickly. I can now maneuver the navagation system almost without looking, whether the navagation itself, or climate control, media, etc. The navigation's traffic performance is a little slow catching up to real time traffic (unlike google maps) but it comes pretty close most of the time. The car is really good looking, easy to get in and out of, the heated and cooled seats are comfortable and really nice and toasty in the winter and cool nicely in the summer. The craziest thing happened after we first got it home; I was parked in the garage, playing with the controls and settings, engine off and doors closed; my wife walked by the front of the car and asked something. I could only see her lips move. I hollered "What??" She then yelled something which I could barely make out as mumbling, to which I hollered back "I can't understand a word you're saying!!" to which she hollered back "What??????" She couldn't understand me either! The car is that quiet! I had to pop open the driver's door to hear what in the world she was trying to say! We both laughed and got a kick out that. Several times since then when one of us gets out of the car before the other, and we try to say something, we just can't hear what the other person is saying when the doors are closed. And no, we're not hard of hearing at all. The Avalon Limited was nowhere near as quiet. As for MPG, we drive mostly highway miles and we get around 30 MPG! That is incredible for a car this size with a V6, and we don't drive slow either. The car is no speed demon, but it is indeed quite nimble and fun to drive, and is fast enough to get me into trouble with the police (hypothetically speaking, that is). One really sweet item is the adaptive cruise control; it's very intelligent and smooth when adjusting to traffic. We also have a 2022 Honda Odyssey and, while it's a joy to drive, the Honda simply doesn't have the adaptive cruise figured out yet. The Honda often has "false alarms" and jams the brakes for no reason other than a car being in the next lane in a curve, or even reacting to a sudden shadow or whatever in the road. The Lexus NEVER has false alarms and NEVER just jams the brakes for no reason. The Lexus also seems to "see" further ahead than the Honda and it adjusts its speed like a human tends to do, by just briefly letting up on the gas to match the speed of a car ahead. The Honda tends to keep stepping on the gas like a distracted driver, then suddenly jams the brakes when it gets close enough to the slower car in front. This can be very annoying in the Honda. Often while driving, and as driving conditions change, I'll increase the distance between other car by clicking the button to increase distance. The Lexus simply let's up on the gas for a couple of seconds until the distance is correct. But the Honda jams the brakes to meet the desired distance. Totally stupid. The 2018 Lexus cruise is much more refined and clearly more intelligent and human-like than even the 4-year newer 2022 Honda. All that and much more, plus the reliability record of the Lexus has made me a Lexus customer. I look forward every chance at taking this car on the road whether to work or play!

When shopping we went on our emotions and wanted to buy a luxury car. Paid price for not prepared to walk away. Needed all wheels o 4 wheels drive. panoramic roof and power trunk lid and radar detector outlet near windshield to connect.. But were trapped into what Bob Rohrman had at Arligton Lexus.. These do not correct their deficiencies. The ride is as if there are no shock absorbers. Will not replace $ 40.00 worth of shocks. Well pay or ignorance.
