  • What an amazing car, I bought mine with 105,000 miles and

    What an amazing car, I bought mine with 105,000 miles and have put nearly 3,000 miles on it in just about one month. It rides and drives like a dream! The styling has definitely held up well, it doesn't look dated or strange for a 15 year old car. In fact I get compliments on mine all the time! The fit and finish are Lexus top notch and I am averaging 28 mpg in city and highway mixed driving! The V-6 is fast and silky smooth. I look forward to driving her every day! I think the only negative is that the technology is from 2009 so don't expect much but it was top of the line back then so it was good for it's day. The premium stereo (not Mark Levinson) is awesome, and the seats are ultra comfy too. I hope to hit 300k miles with my ES350!!! Best car I've ever owned!

  • Incredibly well designed and beautiful car

    Sleek design, very beautiful interior that is above most. Its quite inside and a very smooth ride. The technology this car has is absoulty mind blowing, from the navigation system and integrated phone controls on the steering wheel to the large touch screen command center. This car has it all under one roof, wrapped up in a very sleek exterior the Lexus ES 350 has it all.

    The car is great. It has a nice sized v6 engine but it still doesn’t use up gas like crazy. Very comfortable inside as well

  • Beautiful car and beautifully made

    Good looking with lines that looked great when brand new and now. Fantastic build quality. V6 good solid power and does well in city and on highways. Fearless in snow and whisper quiet no matter what kind of surface. Interior is someplace you're comfortable spending time. Spend the extra money for the NAV, blutooth system and the cooled and heated seats are a great comfort year round. Attention to detail is obvious on this wonderful car.

  • Extremely reliable vehicle

    I owned my 09 es350 for 6 years. With regular maintenance, it was as reliable as gold. I regret selling it, but only to buy a new es350! That car was pretty much bulletproof. Anyone thinking of buying one, I'm sure you'll be happy. Great looking car in and out. Plenty of power, space and comfort.

  • Best car I have had.

    Car is easy to maintain, never had any issues. After driving the this LexusHighlander, it was by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology! On my first 500+ mile trip, I averaged 28.8 mpg.

  • Solid, Reliable, Luxurious, Timeless, Enduring

    I cannot give a higher rating to my 2009 Lexus ES350. I have owned it for just about a year now and it is everything a luxury car should be (as per my headline). The 350 has just the right blend of luxury and restraint, not as big, bulky, and busy as the LS (less little things to go wrong and or die); as others have said, the ES knows its place and its audience and suits them to a tee. It is silent, smooth, effortless transportation at a price point that will impress but not overwhelm. If I were pressed to find a complaint, I would only mention that the high trunk deck and rear window angle occasionally present visibility and maneuvering issues. I do wish it had a back-up camera and or warning (radar) system---the exterior mirrors angle down when in reverse, but that doesn't fix the blind spot that is your trunk. Otherwise, flawless. I bought mine with 80k miles and it still purrs like new.
