Just test drive and car was sluggish on get go. I expect a much faster start

Doesnt mean anything to do a 0-60 test WHEN YOU DON’T REPORT THE RESULTS!! 😂

I added Apple CarPlay to my 2014 and it is the perfect car now.

I think the 2016 BMW X5M is more intelligent than the ML63

Yay im your 2000th view

2021 ugly inside and ugly in front as well... 2013 way better inside and better front outside as well....

I was so confused as to how you are in the UK and it's sunny and nice weather. Then I realized you're down unda! And please stop calling it a vibrator, it's massaging seats or vibrating seats.

Does the sun roof come as standard?

Just bought 3.5 hybrid toyota crown 2010.254 kw 340 hp.7 litres 100km.$10700.00 New Zealand.Noise cancelling 0-100 5.5.Better bang for your buck.ES300h has same running gear as Toyota Camry,front wheel drive.😊

its better than tesla

Just found your channel and this comparison.....I'm aging (almost 60) and looking at a coupe to compliment my 2019 AWD Stinger GT2 and wife's Palisade Calligraphy AWD . I've looked at EVERYTHING from Corvettes , LC500, BMW M850I/M440I, CLE COUPE, AUDI S5/RS5 ......you name it and if it has 2drs and looks stylish whilst being reasonably affordable.... At the beginning, I was enamored with performance numbers .....but don't want to give up creature comforts. .... You stated something at the beginning of this video, that the RC compares more favorably with an E coupe ! Certainly not the fastest but reliability, looks and comfort are the strongsuit. These are highpoints in my recalculated mindset and believe it or not , I've loved the franken-design since the inception of this beauty. ......now to find exactly my specs!

I owned two GS's and ended up getting an IS350 AWD F-Sport. I absolutely hated the IS and went back to a third GS after only a few months. The IS felt so skimpy by comparison.

My friends own a dealership. I have had the pleasure of testing the rear seats of both cars to get a BJ. I found the lexus seats to be more comfortable. Just got to be careful not to get any cream in the mesh holes.

You can adjust the bolsters in the menu.

My Q50 is the same way. Comfy car as a whole but I don’t know why the headrest feels so far forward 😂

I have the 2017 model, ( The model in-between the two) and I Love it!

Hardly slow. 8.4 second, it’s the same speed as all of the luxury saloon’s, I think my merc c-class was 8.6 second. That Lexus is my car now and it is the best drive I’ve ever had it’s so smooth, and luxurious inside. When I need power to overtake it’s there. You’re not buying to pure speed. It’s a luxury car.

Mclaren but I'm biased

It’s fun to watch ur videos ! Great job

Excellent review .i have the same one . But got sun roof thks

Is there an significant difference between luxury sport and f sport+?

I own and drive an ES350. I have driven an LC500. Until this video, I was unfamiliar with the GS350. Thanks to this video, when it is time for me to buy a new Lexus, I will consider the GS350.

I just bought this same exact car. Same color. Same year. How do I know if I bought a f85.

Probs no as quick as the stereo fails. Mine will turn on n flick through all its input options then turn off then on n do it all over again, you can't turn it off or anything seems to be linked to air con

Thanks for sharing this

Have you never heard of VTEC? It could be at 4000 RPM cam profile changes. It’s pretty common now.

Is it reability the M-157?

still no HUD :-(

Showing the IS: "...what the rest of the world gets" Meanwhile EU: :/

I'm coming in late (October, 2024) but after watching your review, I thought I'd share my experiences with the ES series. Your personal review is really interesting to me, having just spent a couple of months (summer 2024) shopping for and testing out many Lexus ES-es here in British Columbia, Canada---so, about 4 years after you've made this. Was, at first, looking at anything from a 2012 to 2022 model. I primarily wanted a smooth, soft, bump-absorbing ride that isolated the cabin from outside noise as much as possible. I naively assumed all examples from any year or generation would exhibit those traits. Boy, what a shock! Being rather unfamiliar with Lexus generally, *I had expected the latest gen. ES-es to be close to **_the ultimate_** in all the luxury qualities I was looking for.* Nope. I was gobsmacked that most were, I hate to say it, disappointing, particularly regarding: *a) road (tire?) noise* that just reverberated through the passenger compartment, even at city speeds (in B.C. with the generally superior roads and streets they have here), and *b) the really stiff, unforgiving ride* all the new generation cars exhibited, and *c) the paucity of equipment and supposed 'luxury' finishes.* But(!), *the previous generation ES---the one you found so wanting---were an entirely different and better experience. Quiet, smooth, soaked up bumps, virtually no road (tire) noise...etcetera.* I'm guessing a part of this is down to the older generation having smaller wheels and bigger tire sidewalls. *The latest generation's designers have likely also drunk the Kool-Aid that says all new cars must drive like sports cars, and have huge wheels and thin, rubber band-like tires.* This alone apparently kills almost every brand's 'luxury' models' ride and quietness. I guess manufacturers just can't beat basic physics? But I take it you liked this aspect though. Eventually, after looking at many, many examples of ES (hybrid and regular), I gave up (due to deciding the previous gen. actually was too old for my needs) and started looking at several other car brands, eventually buying one. I will add a question about your experience. I wonder if you found that new generation model you drove so 'tight and together' (can't remember your wording) *_because it was brand new?_* I also test drove a brand new 2024 model (not because I wanted to, but because that Lexus dealership was supremely poorly run and the actual three year old one I *_did_* want to test 'wasn't available'.) Just a thought.

interesting, our 2017 450 fsport has the electric up and down rear seats

I don’t think they had the traction all the way off either. I mean idk for sure but I have an ls 500 and if you just push the traction knob it doesn’t cut it off all the way. You have to hold it for like 4 seconds and then it cutts the traction off all the way and the lights will pop on the dash.

Looking for a Is 350 F Sport 2021 to 2024. Great review.

Love both cars. The IS much more available and thousands cheaper.

I agree, manual gear changes are atrocious.. really lets it down in that regard.. but as for everything else it’s incredible..

Crash test is Absolutely Disgusting in an Accident. It's sad as it's a beautiful car...

I bought a 428i 3 months ago and love everything about it. Long distance very comfortable and quiet. Pick up is amazing. I had a 118 diesel before which was lovely but the seats were spars, no padding and you could feel the metal base through them and awful so no good for any distance. This interior is a class above on the 4 series.

Bro that’s sick I went today and saw a Ferrari and heaps of rolls royces

Lexus build quality is stunning and the reliability is amazing.

My 2005 430s beat the newer LS models. Bullet proof. My 460 is very nice but it’s more expensive to maintain and not as much headroom and seat bolsters are uncomfortable plus less side pocket storage and more control arms which cost and a tight engine to work on which costs more money. I like my 460 very well but I know my 430s will outlast it.

Both IS and RC are flex to the homies But the IS allows easier backseat access for the homies to experience the glorious 3.5L V6

Everyone knows mclaren is more worth it then a lambo

How come youtube hasent verified you this review is top notch

Is it worth a 10k difference?

570 all day, long term LX owner here and wouldn’t have anything else

I’m in Australia and left handed, pretty much made for me lol

I've never driven the ES but I have a 2012 GS 450h. It's even more powerful than the GS 350 and the fuel economy is clearly better. However, when you put your foot down, the power power isn't instantaneous. It hesitates for a second or so, which I don't like. But nothing else about it irritates me in normal driving.

Good review dude

LS 500 f sport all the way! BMW is POS in 2 yrs.

I was searching for this review for long time. Thanks for simplifying and showing the differences between the Amazing 3 Cars. It will really help someone to decide which car to take. I was anticipating to see the light sequences but that not a big deal. Thank You Sir
