Enjoyed the ride and comfort

We test drove other cars but none seem to ride and have the comfort as much as the Lexus had. Previously owned a Lexus for 12 years so did not make sense to change.

What I expect

The ES 350 is an affordable luxury sedan. I have owned the ES for 16 years. It is a comfortable, quiet ride. It is what I have come to expect. The only complaint is that if you expect tight handling and quick acceleration you might want to look at the IS or the RC or perhaps a different maker. This is comfort not performance.

Great car that drives like a luxury sedan

This car is almost perfect. Terrific styling. Luxury appointments everywhere. The only minor complaint is that even with a 6 cylinder 268 HP engine, it doesn?t pop off the line or accelerate on the highway as much as I would like. It does have a sport drive setting but that probably eats up fuel economy. Still I like it much better than the 5 Series BMW I used to own.

New car.

This is a new car for us. We had a 2008 Lexus RX 350 before, and loved it. It had almost 150,00 miles when we traded it.

2nd ES350 I've purchased!

I love this car. It feels a bit more sporty than my older ES350 but just as solid and smooth. I always feel safe and comfortable in this new ES350 and I love the new safety features. Blind Spot indicator is my favorite.

Great buying

I Have been a loyal Lexus owner for over 12 years. Really did not want to change to a new car. Because of the ongoing long distance driving, high mileage was accumulated, I have decided to buy a new car. However, I will not consider selling the old Lexus. I will let my daughter use my old one for local driving because it is still a reliable car.

Safety and quality

Excellent quality and second to none safety features. Fit an Finnish as in all interior components. The product almost sells itself. Metro Lexus and ALL staff are proffesinal and especially Mr James Neff my salesman . He knows the product and all it?s features perfectly.

Outstanding entry level luxury automobile

After comparing a number of entry level luxury level automobiles at the Minneapolis Convention Auto show, in March, it was quite obvious that the Lexus ES350 was a great choice. Now after owning it, even for a short time, I would have to say the car is even better than expected. Outstanding ride, comfort, and quiet. Add to that Lexus' reliability record I highly recommend this vehicle.
