sunshine windshield
I just bought an ES Luxury and it drives ok; however, in Texas with the sunshine the windshield becomes a mirror and makes it a hard to see the road when the sun is shinning brightly. The windshield wipers don't go all the way - leave surplus on the windshield. I am really disappointed in it as this is my 6 lexus. When you stop and start up again the transmission jerks. The FWD sounds like the tires are coming loose. I have to put a cover over the front windshield to prevent the sunshine mirroring.

Breaks and rotors
This is a great car but the emergency brake sensors ruin your brakes and rotors. Service tried to say it was from hard breaking. Nope because I have NEVER had to replace any of the brakes on any of my precious owned vehicles. $1600 later!

Long time Lexus ES Owner a bit disappointed
This is our fifth ES. As the models have changed over the last 13 years the console design and storage has continually gotten worse. Leaving no place for sunglasses; top deck USB ports that interfere with what little space is provided and if you get the wireless phone charger option it takes up valuable console storage space. A poor interior design with little to no emphasis on delivering a stylish console with well designed and ample storage. The radio in the 2020 ES is not very good. The 2017 ES audio system blows the 2020 away; can't imagine what the Lexus engineers were thinking with this significant downgrade in base system sound quality. They have also eliminated the names of the XM stations on the display, even with the the over-sized screen. A car in this luxury class should have a base audio system that is simply outstanding as it was prior to 2019 model year, versus being the subject of numerous complaints. The emphasis starting with the 2019 ES moved to 'Sporty', which resulted in the car sitting lower and being less comfortable for short drivers, and is harder to get in and out of for all passengers. The smooth luxury sedan feel that the 2017 had is gone. Lastly the transmission is no longer silky smooth, now with hesitation upon acceleration from a stop.
Great Car
I switched from a Mercedes C300 to the ES350. It has a quiet ride, great pick up, smoother ride, better sound system and more bells and whistles for less money.
Take a Tour
This vehicle is my third Lexus ES350 and the best one yet and rest assured no worries about having maintenance problems
