Feels like one is sliding on glass

Fast, smooth, quiet, reliable, solid,luxurious and classy. I do have the 3rd to 4th gear shift flare but it is intermittent and not a problem. I do hear the slight valve knock noise in the winter but is fairly quiet and goes away after the car warms up. Will admit handling is bad but this car is build for a SOFT ride. Overall I LOVE this car, purchased in 2014 with 84k miles, and have had no problems so far(94k now). My car computer has shown up to 35.6mpg when driving all highway which is CRAZY for a car with 272hp. City mpg is high teens(winter) and low 20s(summer). Don't know if I will ever switch from a lexus after owning one this es350. I kind of regret not getting the 460(driving nirvana) but maybe next time!

Lexus of Orlando

I cannot say enough about the positive experience we had at Lexus of Orlando. The price was excellent. The professionalism of the staff there was the best we have ever seen. My husband has been in sales for over 30 years and feel this is the best group of people we have ever worked with to buy a car. Thank you Tara and Pan and everyone who helped us have a stress free event. Your whole staff is awesome!

Great Car .. post BMW 328i sad experience

Great car. Very comfortable and I really love the keyless aspect. It is very sporty looking and also drives fantastic. I love the way it handles the street/hiway driving. After my BMW328 it took all of one day to not miss the better handling of the 328, but after it required 4k worth of work 3 months after warranty, it's not missed.. The ES350 had a bad case of front bumper road rash but Dr. Colorchip worked wonders.

Almost perfect

The only complaint I have is I get tired of opening the center console with my elbow. Poor place to put the opener. Later models have corrected the issue, unfortunally not able to change

Luxury and Value

This Lexus is so comfortable and spacious. I barely hear the engine. I had it for 4 years now and it is extremely reliable. It gets good mileage. I do recommend the Ultra Luxury package for the Mark Levison upgrade audio system which is just fantastic, upgrade rims, double moon roof, softer leather seats and the sun shade on the back. Very pleased with my 2008 ES350.

Nice ride

Fun to drive, well thought out, silky smooth. A bit lacking on the headroom, if you're over six feet tall you may need to steer clear unless you're ok driving "low rider"
