Perfect Ride
The ES 350 had been almost perfect prior to 2022. The two weaknesses had been a touchy infotainment system and front bias of the sound system. Both of these issues are now corrected with an easy to use touch screen and what appears to be an upgraded Pioneer stereo. The braking and suspension have been improved and the ride is simply silky smooth with plenty of power. Headlights have been improved as well. Once you drive it you won’t want the ride to end.

A bit of intrusive wind noise?
Many great features on the es 350. So why only 3 stars? The bit of intrusive wind noise sounds as if a rear window is open. Not only at highway speeds, it starts at 35 to 40 mph. As for poor tire grip,I have the 18in Bridgestone tires that tire rack rates at 26th out of 29.

Perfect Luxury Sedan Ever
I really fall in love with this 2022 ES 350 F Sport Ultra White. The handling is so silky smooth and powerful powertrain. F Sport dynamic handling gives me a better feeling from turning and cornering, which reduces the G-force. The car is worth every value from almost every single aspect. I had the 2021 Accord Touring, and this car performs a whole different level of comfort and driving perspectives. Overall, this ES 350 gives you a lot more than you expect.

Nice Ride
I've owned an Audi A6 (3.0L), BMW 440i M sport Grand Coupe and a few others. This car does not perform as well as those, obviously, but that's not why I bought it. The ride is terrific, the interior is nicely appointed, performance is more than adequate and, the F sport functionality is worth the extra few dollars, for the adjustable suspension and more aggressive shifting. It surprisingly has a nice little growl when punched. I bought it mostly for the smoother ride and reliability compared to the German cars. The later get pretty expensive when the warranties expire.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it
This is our sixth Lexus and fifth ES 350 model since 2002. In that time, there have been many technological innovations that were not available on the initial 2002 LS 430 but there has also been a subtle cheapening of interiors since then as well. Leather seats used to be standard in even base models. No longer. Gorgeous wood accents abounded. Now, most woods are "meh." The ride remains smooth - to the point where we've nicknamed our newest sedan "Clyde the Glide" in honor of the former NBA star Clyde "the glide" Drexler. We also call this car - a luscious deep blue Nightfall Mica "Sapphire" - full name Sapphire Zamboni for that smooth, glide ride. But as opposed to our 2020 ES 350 predecessor, this 2023 model's navigation system has been toyed and tweaked to where it no longer displays exits and other pertinent information when driving along interstate highways or turnpikes. Why was this very useful feature removed? It's certainly no improvement and the navigation doesn't even display exit numbers as you drive along those interstates. Please, Lexus, it is bad enough that the wonderful 3.5 liter engine that has been in the ES 350 for years will disappear into some turbo-boosted, four cylinder on premium gas by the new generation models in 2025. At least give us a complimentary software update on the navigation system on the 2023 model that will restore much-needed and helpful highway information once we enter an interstate/turnpike.

Almost Prefect car for the price
I have owned my Lexus ES 350 Ultra luxury for 8 months, and I am very happy that I own it. This is my full review. Comfort and Ride Quality: 8/10 I can grantee to you that this car is very comfortable in ride quality. Seats are not that soft but overall the car is comfortable. The car is very good in wind noise, but about the road noise it doesn’t suit the Lexus name I didn’t really expect that. Features: 9/10 Features are very helpful for me and stereo system Mark Levinson 17 speakers is very good in sound quality, but in bass it doesn’t do it very well but it is acceptable. Lane keep assist is very interesting and intelligent but I faced a problem with it. So at the high noon, the radar and the lane keep assist stops working because of the high temperature 45 C outside. But after driving it comes back and work again. about the updated screen it is very good and very responsive and fast. About the 360 cameras they are very clear and Lexus changed the cameras for the 2023 model. It has got clearer cameras. It is sad that we don’t have rear ventilated seats. I hope Lexus fix that in the future. Quality: 9/10 Lexus ES350 Ultra Luxury has very fine leather and very high quality interior ( well known from Lexus ). But there are some plastics here and there. You can see it in the middle box and you can see it in the doors. I know it is not a S-class to mention that, but it think they could made it better than that. Also I have rattle noise from the Glove box in bad roads, and I have rattle up the dashboard in bad road. But in the good road you don’t hear any. All the other things in this car I am happy with. I hope you all got benefit from my review.

worth a look
If you want a smooth riding, seamless shifting serene car I recommend the UL version as its the quietest to all ES's. The sound absorbing wheels and laminated front side glass take credit for most of the sereneness. My only gripe is that ALL UL models come with the very heavy glass roof. I noticed lessened pickup right ways vs my 2019 with standard sunroof, so weight was the obvious reason. Plus the full glass roof makes wind noise that is easily detectable inside which spoils the quiet interior. If the UL were available without the glass roof the car would be perfect IMO.

Lexus nexus
This car is all I hoped for. Lots of power, lots of technology, very comfortable, good mileage, very sharp looking, step on the gas at any speed and the car jumps. Lots of interior room, lots of safety features. Good sight lines, folding mirrors, parking assist, rear looking cameras, plenty of room in the back seat. Very sharp.

Nice luxury car
Love the handling and power that comes with the car as well as all the modern safety features such as blind side monitoring, collision avoidance and adaptive cruise control. My only dislike is when making a turn with the lower roof line and the headrests occasionally it is difficult to see oncoming traffic .

Mostly great
This is my 6th Lexus ES and I have been very happy with all of them. I have never had a problem with any of them. I recently bought a 2023 ES Ultra Luxury and almost everything is impressive with 2 exceptions. You can't use voice commands to access music on a USB. On previous Lexuses it worked great. By not allowing voice commands for the USB they created a very dangerous situation. If I want to change to another artist I have to use touch commands which means I have to move my eyes from the driving to the touch screen. NOT GOOD! The other issue is with the navigation. There is no way for me to put a name on a favorite destination if it was created by providing an address. For example if I create a destination for a distant relative by entering 123 Some Street, Some City, & Some State. The favorite will name the favorite '123 Some Street' and there is no way to update it. It would be much easier to remember the destination if I could name it 'Uncle Joe' rather than trying to remember the house number & street. So far these are the only 2 problems I've encountered. By the way these were not an issue on my previous ES (2018 Luxury). For some reason Lexus went backwards. Other than these issues the car is very nice. Beautiful looking, great ride, quiet, etc. I love all the safety features.

Very good car
I have owned my 2023 ES 350 Luxury for about 2 months. It is smooth, quiet and respectably quick when called upon. Very good and unobtrusive climate control system. It is a pleasure to drive. Took a 350 mile highway trip, and i got an astounding 40 mpg! And this is from a V6! I am somewhat disappointed with the Mark Levinson sound system in my vehicle. Lossless music played through a USB stick is clear and accurate, but it tends toward the bright side with a clinical tonal quality. The ML sound system pales in comparison to the ELS 5.1 sound system that I had in a 2014 Acura TL. 3/2024. 9 months later, zero issues. I will reiterate that it is a pleasure to drive for both short and long trips. My only wish - a CD player.

Best Value Luxury Sedan
Dollar for dollar the ES 350 is the best midsize luxury sedan you can buy for the money. It's comfortable, quiet, smooth, and engaging. We purchased one with the premium package and larger tech screen. BMW and Audi might be more fun to drive but won't last as long as the Lexus. Not to mention, it takes regular gas and gets overall good gas mileage. Also, has good IIHS and NHTSA crash test results.

I have had my 2022 black Lexus ES 350 for a couple of months now. It drives smooth and is good on gas on the road. It has a snazzy premium look. I love it!

Very smooth ride
2023 Ultra Luxery
I wanted something more powerful and smooth. I looked at all luxury models and found out all cars are not the same. I am tall so had to go mid size for comfort. I have the loaded car and paid 57000 ish all other luxury cars were at least 10000-20000 more all other cars took premium gas mandatory. The ride is amazing the comfort is awesome the car is quite. The reason I did not go to sport edition was the seats have back issues. It was hard to find the car I wanted but I waited and pounced when it was available.

Beautiful Car!
I love almost everything about this vehicle, my only complaints are that the driver's seat could be a tad wider or the button panel on the door could be smaller for just a bit more driving comfort. That, and the rear window is kind of small but I removed the rear headrests which helped a lot. It drives like a dream, smooth acceleration, solid feeling, and lots of power. The styling is sleek and it has every safety and luxury feature you could want. I may never learn how to use them all! The cargo net is kind of small, but the trunk is adequate. Not much difference between the trim levels especially if optional features were added to the base model. They all have the same engine. It's a good value. Love it!

Lexus ES 350 build quality got worse the pandemic
I bought a Lexus during the pandemic, and noticed the build quality has dropped quite a bit (i.e. annoying wind noise issue at speeds over 45 mph, dashboard, etc.) and when these issues are reported to Lexus, their quality control, customer engagement and service don't do anything to fix it and let these issues go directly to customers. If you plan to buy a new Lexus, probably it's a good idea to hold on to your old models since they are far more reliable than the newer models after 2020 or explore other brands.

2022 Lexus ES350
I regret giving up my 2014 Lexus ES350. The 2022 Lexus ES350 is not as comfortable as their older models. They changed the seats and now all the models have a higher lip which is not as comfortable as the flat seats in the older models. They no longer have storage for your sunglasses and I surely miss this feature. The 2022 model no longer has an exterior button to open your trunk. It has an option to kick it open, but this definitely hurts when you wear open toe shoes/flip flops all year round in Hawaii. I can only open my trunk with the interior button and this is annoying when I only need trunk access. I do not plan to buy another Lexus. Their customer service and car features have gone way downhill.

2023 ES-350
Very smooth and quiet ride. Beautiful interior, roomy and many great standard feaures.
I love the lane assist!!!
This car is an amazing car with lane assist, which is one of my favorite features. All I do is set the cruise control and the lane assist and it keeps me in the right lane and also keeps me from having to slow down when I approach another car. I got the F sport, which is the 3.5 L 302 hp V6 motor which is perfect!

Love this car smooth ride great handling n many safety perkd
regrets
features hard to use not very comfortable
At sometime in life everyone should have a Lexus
Beautiful, nicely appointed, naturally aspirated car that handles extremely well and inspires confidence. However, engineering degree needed to understand and operate the media system. Don’t understand why window sticker indicates tires may only last 14,000 miles. Based on reviews, looking forward to many years of dependable driving.

2022 Lexus es 350 fsport
Back seats don’t fold down! Windshield angle is kind of acute, limiting vision vertically. One cup holder up front? Power to front wheels is unexpectedly high, seems like one peels out from high rpm’s.
