Used 2021 Lexus ES 350 Consumer Reviews
This Automobile easily beats out a Mercedes E 350
I owned a MB E550 AWD and that car was a bit over 85,000 optioned as I wanted it. I took delivery of a 2021 ES 350 Ultra Luxury with every available option except AWD which I do not require given where I live now. The fit and finish is as good as Mercedes and any other fine automobile. The pure luxury inside is unsurpassed in any vehicle in this price range of $55,000 up to and including the MB. The ride is ultra quiet and smooth but gives the driver a solid feel for the road. If this very automobile were to be re badged and presented as a Mercedes they could slap an $80,000 price tag on it and no one would give it a second thought.

Serene and Engaging
The 2020 Lexus ES offers a near perfect driving experience. This car allows you to be perfectly insulated from surroundings, but driver engaged at the same time. Excellent handling and the lane assist keeps you perfectly in lane, even around curves. The Bridgestone Turanza tires could be less roll-resistant but are quiet and comfortable. The seats are very comfortable - perforated Nu-luxe man-made leather is as comfortable as real leather. I'd prefer a bit wider front seat - they must have taken an inch off to allow the center console to have more storage - it opens from either side! The driver seat front surface is a little too firm - sort of like an exercise ball, but you sink into the seat comfortably and it offers lots of adjustments to help with long drives (passenger as well). The often criticized touch pad can be adjusted by the dealer and is easy and accurate to use after the adjustment. I suspect Lexus did away with acoustic windshield as you can barely hear the wipers - not so in prior model. One especially new feature is the cruise control does not shut off if you slow to a crawl - it remains engaged - nice improvement. Mirrors self close with the Premium package or higher - a nice feature if you park in a small garage. The standard Pioneer 10 speaker stereo is crystal clear with great sound in the front but virtually no sound in the rear - making the surround sound a near impossibility. Lexus will have to improve the one weak rear speaker in the trunk. The interior and exterior are innovative and beautiful and the wrap around optional wood reminds me of the high end Lexus Models and the Jaguar XJ, costing much more . The paint is self sealing - something not available from many competitors; I’d suggest looking at eminent white pearl and also nightfall mica (dark blue) in direct sunlight to experience the amazing color changes - they have to be seen to be believed. car, rated a very high 87 by a major consumer organization, is a very good value and provides an exceptional ridership experience.

Replace 2017 Lexus ES350 with a 2021 Lexus ES350
My wife and I have loved having a series of 5 Lexus ES350 automobiles. We shop around and talk to friends about their new luxury sedan experiences and we have nothing but great feedback on every Lexus we have ever owned since 1994 (purchased new mostly, but also at least 2 used also).

900 Miles in a day with my 2020 ES350 F Sport
I took delivery of a 2020 ES350 F Sport about 2 weeks ago. Absolutely love the interior and the Mark Levenson audio system. The acceleration reminds me of my Benz E350 and the profile of the car looks so nice. Did I mention that it is the quietist car I've ever driven. Last Friday, I drove 900 Miles in 14 hrs from Michigan to Boston in my ES350 and it is such a joyful trip. I took advantages of the radar cruise control and lane centering function to do a lot of semi-automatic highway driving and then listened to my music and podcast along the way. I can't believe that I ended up with 35 MPG using 87 regular gas. Initially, I was a little concerned about the seat since it is harder than a regular ES350. However, at the end, it has been very comfortable! Can't say enough about the good things about ES350. Love it!

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.
