Used 2019 Lexus ES 350 Sedan Consumer Reviews
Almost perfect sedan
this would be the perfect sedan but for the finicky infotainment system mousepad controls; ride is smooth, quiet, with sufficient power; seats are super comfortable; audio system is okay and not as bad as alluded to by some comments.... i have 16,400 miles and averaging about 24.6 mpg

My 5th Lexus and best of all
A fun car. Not a sports car but with 300 hp, heads up display, Mark L radio, sports mode, sports+, 19 inch tires totally fun to drive. Quiet smooth, no body roll ..a pleasure. Car in demand. Short supply, 5 year Lexus restyle, not much of a discount

3rd ES350 and they Keep getting better
Great car, extremely comfortable seats and the sound system is outstanding. Gas mileage is about 21.5 in the city and 24 in mixed driving. The ride is superior, smooth, quiet and makes driving a pleasure. The user interface is pretty quirky — Lexus trademark; but you can work through it and just have to accept that this issue falls on deaf years at Lexus. The dynamic navigation system is outstanding and being it is pulling details from the internet the information is extremely accurate. The engine on this car is smooth as is the shifting. The cooling and heating is automatic and same goes for the seats and steering wheel. The Lexus Enform is nothing special and I just don’t use it or even need it as I use Apple Play as it is far superior. Not sure why Lexus even bothers with it as Enform is archaic and not sure why it even exists. I do prefer the Lexus Navigation system for long road trips but use my Waze or Google maps in the local area. The seats are very comfortable and once you adjust them you can lock them into the memory. Plenty of space in the back for passengers and the trunk is spacious. This is by far the best Lexus ES350 I have owned (07, 14 and now the 2019).

2019 ES 350 - F-Sport - Ultimate Drivng Experience
Purchased a fully loaded 350 ES F-Sport an never looked back. Good bang for the buck. In reading other reviews, several owners appear to have issues with the Mark Levinson sound system. On the contrary to their experience, no issue on my end, excellent sound. Car is quiet and if used in the S+ mode, packs a punch. Can't wait until the next redesign will have a turbo charged engine yielding additional HP. FWD works fine for me. Owners that never had a FWD, I can see a getting used to period may be needed. Only issue had in the beginning was the Enform system. Appeared to be a communication problem with the Lexus HQ database, matching it up with my cars "chip", preventing updates to download and upload car info. However, my dealer (Lexus of Clearwater in FL) took care of it and Lexus Corporate generously extended the Enform subscription by 2 years and the maintenance to 3 years free of charge for the "trouble" had. The heads up display needs some work for future models. When driving into the sun and wearing shades, the info is hard to read. One way is to reduce the brightness or change the position of the display but it's inconvenient changing back and forth. Needs improvement for future models. Lexus should take a look at how Mazda does it. Will be talking to the dealer to add a small "patch" or darker tint where the HUD info is located. Should not be too disturbing and if not workable, can always be removed. Touch pad is slightly sensitive but that's what the voice commands are for. Besides, any touch pads are not meant to be fiddled around with while driving. Absolutely love the LFA inspired info screen and steering wheel controls which let you call up any info desired and can partially be customized, especially the center bezel display. Apple Car Play works great and a nice addition Lexus made for the 2019 ES 350. Designer even thought of a slot to drop the phone in an upright position. The one improvement needed for future models is the positioning of the USB ports and a cable track/opening at the bottom of the slot should be added. It is about as good looking as a car can be if someone likes clear lines instead of rounded shapes. If not, go with bland Audi A3, BMW 3-Series or Mercedes A220, which all come with at least an equal or even higher (BMW 3-Series) price tag for the same luxury but either have an inferior engine or poor noise insulation. Recommend summer tires and change in fall to winter or all season tires if not as lucky as I am living in Florida. Do not use run flats as they increase the noise level. It took me time to get used to paddles shifters as it's the first time I have them on my car. Lexus leaves the option using them in a fully automatic shift mode or select the "manual" where the driver has to use the paddles. One way to learn. All in all, a fun car to drive and I recommend the F-Sport version any day.
