This is the fourth Lexus we have owned, and the third ES. We had looked at the new LS500, which is an exceedingly nice vehicle, and seriously considered purchasing a 2019 model as we wanted to step up to some additional features not found in our 2018 ES350. Just for the heck of it, however, we drove the 2019 ES350 and were so pleasantly surprised at the quiet (make that very quiet) and very comfortable ride, and the amenities that the Ultra Luxury model offered at a substantially lower cost without comprising the features we first sought in the LS500 (even our neighbors who went to dinner with us last night remarked on their own how very differently the ride in this 2019 model compared to our 2018 model). In addition to using regular gas (it's just an issue with me not to be required to use premium to get the sports feel of acceleration, when needed) the great gas mileage is a plus. We are particularly enjoying the many features in this model: HUD feature, the large (but not too large) navigation/information display, the extra quality leather seating, the climate control that automatically sets temperature, seat heating/cooling, and steering wheel heating (when required) is so much nicer than the manual controls we had in our 2018 Luxury ES350. As advertised, the 2019 is just a very different car in so many respects from the 2018 model. The only gripe I have is that I am disappointed in the radio sound quality of the Mark Levinson audio system. All in all, however, I don't believe you will be disappointed in the 2019 Ultra Luxury version of the 2019 ES350. It represents a solid quality price point for Lexus and offers a very exciting vehicle to drive and own at a significant costs savings from the LS500 model. UPDATE: The car was purchased primarily for use by my wife, and I (hubby) drove little, but when I drove on longer trips with her I noticed that the audio system (Mark Levinson, "17-speaker, 1800-watt, PurePlay Surround Sound") is not as good as the standard/'Premium' audio system I have in my 2016 RX350. I tried working with the Lexus technician, and finally called Lexus Consumer Care on the matter. All this is to no avail, as the Lexus Consumer Care person decided to close my case (the Mark Levinson audio system 'works as designed', she said). Ah, therein lies the issue, as it may work as designed, but not as Lexus holds out the Mark Levinson system in this model to perform. Definitely not Surround Sound, questionable whether the 10 speaker ports operate as 17 speakers, and now (get this, you'll love this...), I'm told the descriptive of the audio system performance is ... wait, wait...here it comes..."Concert facing audio quality", which seems the new term to replace "Surround Sound". So Lexus seems to be digging their heels in on the issue, and where do we go from here??

Es 350 F Sport...dislikes.. rear seats do not fold...sound system is "forward sounding"...rear speakers and sub can't be heard from front seats...its a 6 cyl so gas mileage is sucky...full tank says only 250 mile range...no touch screen...thenone I bought was scratch free on the outside and no problems on the inside...in sport mode it goes vroom....only thing I wanted it doesn't have is red leather seats...still patting myself on the back for buying it...

I purchased a lexus es350 certified lease return vehicle 2 or 3 years ago.The stereo sounded terrible so i returned it to the dealer and was told that the inferior sound was normal and i would get used to it by multiple lexus employees.I told the service rep that i wanted the problem fixed or i would return the car and cancell the deal since i had only signed the papers two days earlier.when i returned the sales mgr told me that he had researched the issue and found an outstanding service bulletin and they would order the replacement parts and repair the problem. when i went back to pick up the car he told me that they had replaced the amplifier and installed all new speakers in my car.the stereo sounds great now as all lexus products should.I hope this report is helpful to everyone who had this problem.i have owned a 2013 lexus previously and knew there was a problem that your dealer should have fixed and kept you as a loyal customer.good luck and hope this helps you.

I got my new 2019 ES 350 sedan (base model) a week ago. I love this car. For a base model I get almost everything I could need or want. Ok, I don’t get heated or ventilated seats. I live Southern California so my car doesn’t get too cold and I’ve never had ventilated seats before so I won’t know what I’m missing in the summer. Lol. I only get an 8” infotainment screen. It’s way better than me looking at my iPhone 7 Plus screen for navigation. Oh yeah, you don’t need the 12” infotainment screen upgrade with navigation to get Apple Car Play. It comes standard on the base model. Awesome! So I got the 17” wheels and tires 215/55R17. I’ll buy some 19” aftermarket wheels in a year or 2 when I wear these these tires out. Besides Lexus wheels aren’t the prettiest in any size in my opinion. Now the sound system is standard (Pioneer 10 speaker 296 watts) and has weak sound from the rear. EVERYONE is complaining about it. I hear a lot of complaints about the upgraded Mark Levinson system too though. I gotta do something about it cause the sound is all up front. If you like surround sound then the new 2019 Lexus stereos are very disappointing. No offense, if you’re on the “seasoned” or “mature” side of the age spectrum then you might be more than happy with the audio. I’m 45 (getting seasoned and maturing. Lol) and I like full often times and sometimes loud surround sound so I guess I got to go with an aftermarket solution. I realllllly don’t wan to put a speaker box in the trunk. I’m not a bass hound audiophile in my 20’s anymore. Oh well, we’ll see. Now what I would’ve liked is the sporty mesh grill on the F Sport! It looks waaay better than the verticle grill on all the other models in my opinion. But to get that F Sport you gotta pay close to $50k. I got mine for $10k less and at 2.4% interest through Lexus financing. Awesome right?! I can’t be happier. My base sedan has the same 3.5L engine and transmission and the same 0-60 times. I don’t have the dampers the F Sport has for better handling but as I said I live in Southern California. When am I going to attack the twistes or carve up canyon roads. We don’t have many and if we did they’d be clogged with traffic. Lol. There’s other nice things the more expensive versions of the ES has that I don’t have like auto closing trunk. Oh my god, I have to put my hand on the trunk lid and push it down to close the trunk. How will I survive? Lol. Hey, if you have the money and want to treat yourself to some niceties, go for it! You are looking at buying/leasing a luxury vehicle. Go luxury with your amenities if your pocket book permits. I just wanted to point out that the 2019 Lexus ES 350 sedan base model is anything but basic. I love this car and will drive it for the next 10 plus years. I had my previous vehicle for 14.5 years before turning it in.
