2008 Lexus ES 350 consumer reviews

i love it, its the best car i had all my life and its not hard to fix on your own. i would recommend this product to a friend.

We shopped for months trying to decide what to buy for our next family vehicle. We wanted to downsize from a Suburban to a sedan. Ultimately we narrowed our choices down to a Lexus and BMW 5 series. While we liked both, we thought the ES350 had a little more leg room in the back for 2 car seats. We also got an extremely good deal on this model with only 9000 miles which helped make our decision. The MPG has been great, there's plenty of room for all of us to run around town and even go on long weekend trips. The trunk has lots of room for a sedan, which I worried most about. I have no problem keeping a stroller in the back and putting the groceries in there. Great car overall.

This is my families first Lexus.My wife is very pleased. We went from a Nissan Pathfinder to the Lexus ES 350. This car is in the top five in all catagories. I wish Lexus made a pick up to replace my Cadillac EXT.

I prefer Cadillacs and Buicks. This starts very noisy and rides very hard I feel all bumps on the road. It has been checkead and is ok Front is too tight for legs and feet. Trunk is too small for a family of 4 In short; noisy, hard riding , and too tight compartment for feet in front with a small trunk. So sorry I bought it.............

I own this car for over 2 years, and Love it, It has a very comfortable drive. I have had some issues with handeling and dont know why, it seems to weether on a side at times, apart from that, its a pleasure, lifts you light like a feather even on bad roads and provides a great pickup when required, times like merging etc. So far We are averaging at 24.8 in mostly city roads and 2 distinctly different driver handeling. Would certainly recommend it.

Excellent Car, however beware of Lexus' MONEY FACTOR, these vehicles are over priced!!!!! especially WHEN options are ADDED. So, don't be roped into buying one of these cars especially if the salesman try and push that resale value, These cars will fall in price the minute you sign the contract and even more as you drive it off the lot. The center console release button is in the wrong place, Navigation system should be redesigned for ease of use. Engine on cold start is noisy Rear seat is a bit uncomfortable over a short trip. Plastic trim is not top quality To much plastic

I brought my '08 ES 350 in July '08. I am fairly happy, but I have a few concerns. I have had laser surgery on my eyes three years ago and my vision is very good. With that being said, the interior lighting in the car is horrible. When I need light in the car, I open the sun visor with the light that almost blinds me and lights the entire car. At 1,500 miles, I started hearing a ticking noise when the engine was cold and I started to drive. The noise goes away about 5 to 7 minutes later after the engine has warmed up. It's embrassing to me for the amount of money that I spent and for it to be a luxury car. At 2,900 miles, I was like "I put out almost 40k for this car and this is not the noise I want to hear, or have my neighbors hear, everytime I leave my residential area. I took the car back to the dealership and they tried to tell me this is normal for this vehicle. This is not what I want to hear. They gave me a loaner car and I do not hear the ticking in that car. I dont want people to think I use diesel gas, instead of premium. But on the PRO side - I love the way the car drives, it has a lot of pick up and go. I have plenty of interior room compared to the Cadilliac CTS, I was going to buy. The ride is smooth and I look very good in it, :-)

What a great car. A quiet and smooth ride that gets me about 25 mpg on average! The whole Lexus experience was just wonderful. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone.

We bought our ES350 in June of 2007. We average about 29.4 mpg on the freeway! More importantly, this generation of the ES is smoother, more powerful, and more luxurious than its predecessor. Seriously, a five star home run from the best built automobile manufacturer on planet earth. I cannot imagine a world without Lexus.
