Don't want the drive to end

This is a virtually perfectly designed vehicle that makes driving a simple pleasure. As if you are gliding throughout, supremely quiet with a beautiful sound system.

Very pleased with lease deal

Got a good deal and feel value superior to previously owned BMWs. Rides smoother getting great gas mileage and lots of safety equipment on it. Would buy again.

The most reliable, luxury car on the planet!!!!

I purchased the Lexus ES 350 and was sold on the reliability, comfort, luxury and customer service of this automobile. There is not another vehicle or dealership that compares with Lexus.

The car is so comfortable and rides like a dream.

Love the car. Rides smoothly and love the air-conditioned seats. Had a CT200h and this model's gas mileage is just as good as the CT's was. Power when accelerating is excellent.

Very happy

I owned a 2013 Lexus ES300h and had to dump it after 6 months because the seats were rock hard on the side bottom bolsters. Not this one. They fixed it and the car just glides. Very quiet. Very happy and plan on keeping for a long time. This is my 5th Lexus. I wanted to replace our 2008 RX350 but nothing goes wrong with it so were keeping that one. Mechanic says easily can get 200k miles. I value strong reliability and smooth ride. I don't want to be stranded in the SO CAL desert. Buy it!!!!!

Quiet Smooth Ride

2017 ES300h has a quiet smooth ride. Great gas mileage. Very comfortable luxurious interior. 3 previous Lexus cars. All very reliable, long lasting and no lemons but I did have all serviced at the dealership twice yearly. Lexus 5 year cost of maintenance on average tends to be less then other luxury auto brands. Not sure why Car and Driver and similar sites like to test it and score it as if it is a high performance car. It does have a somewhat sporty look but really more of a luxury sedan. If you want an all around well balanced sedan with a quiet smooth ride and is luxurious with great gas mileage consider this car.

Top pick for the price

Reliability is my first requirement in car selection. Lexus is at the very top and Es300h is just right below the LS, the number 1; at only half the price of the LS. The 2.5litre synergy power system is a bit small but very smooth and efficient. The same system applies to several Lexus and Toyota models and I am comfortable for my daily use. The one I have is well equipped and all the warning sensors work wonderfully. The seat is a bit low for my aged body but I'll get used to that. Storage area is not quite adequate and the characters and numbers are too small on the dash. It is perfect for most people though I'm critical.
