2013 Lexus ES 350 and ES 300h

[@alanhumphrey4198]

I have a 2017 ES 350 and it's a fantastic vehicle!!

[@Veyronp87]

i have to admit ive never been an ES fan because its always looked like a camry with some chrome and wood, but lexus really nailed it with this one

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

Love the spindle grille on the new Lexus'. The new Lexus interiors are starting to grow on me more. My grandparents have a 2012 ES 350 & it's very nice & comfy to drive.

[@2Kriss2Kross]

This channel is among the best auto channels on KZbin! You make your videos informational without sounding like an owners manual and fun without being gimmicky! Wish the channel and site great success!

[@venom5809]

I love Tom and his reviews. Some of the best out there. He could replace most of the people that work at the big name review sites and car magazines easily.

[@GrayFox0047]

Great review as usual Tom! Thanks for keeping the humor while somehow being very informative on the car! A rare trait!

[@garlexHD134]

These reviews need to be on TV.

[@IBK31]

Great review! This channel should have a show on the Speed Channel or the National Geographic channel on television. I'll be glued to the t.v. set.

[@DrivenCarReviews]

Remember, when you're doing the math, factor in the DIFFERENCE in mpg between the 350 and 300h. It often takes an awful long time to make up the cost difference of the hybrid model.

[@yehancha]

You always do a real world explanation. So anyone who is a fan of autos will like comments like yours instead of robotic comments most of the others do.

[@atomikrobot300099]

Keep up your videos. You do an amazing job. Everything about your reviews from the tissue paper test to recaps is perfect. Keep it up!

[@Whatwhatwhat1]

Always love watching ur videos not because I live in Seattle but ur reviews are awesomr

[@pretty00lights]

What a pleasant man to listen to. I'm a gear head but if he was selling blenders, he would have me just as interested.

[@royalpools]

Thank You for all the years of great videos! We just bought a 21 Lexus 300h do you have a video on this current generation?

[@incyphe]

Great review and editing as usual. Lexus has done a great job with this car too. The last generation was an abomination with cheaper wood trims, interior trims, and elimination of french stitching. Hopefully Toyota has learned its lesson.

[@mcximus]

enjoy your reviews on cars. Good work.

[@RealtimeReviews613]

Great reviews! Tom is the best but you need more videos more often!

[@NMC21887]

Not gonna lie. That's one awesome tachometer on the hybrid model...

[@Raload168]

Lexus is doing great job. Look at interior....superb!!!!

[@speedkar99]

When I sat in this car at the dealer last week, I noticed a HUGE downgrade in the quality of materials such as the console plastics, carpet and leather compared to my 2005 ES330. Even the 5th gen ES didn't live up to the interior quality of the 4th generation ES.

[@MandusahRamirez]

Is that why the dash starts to peel where the airbags are? Lol

[@JOKBO1]

U do a great job. I personally prefer to watch the reviews than read them, but i always visit your website.

[@lexusfan100]

nice review for sure..i like how you had the comparison of outgoing ES as well...

[@tallen35875]

this looks much better than in photos from the auto shows. maybe it just needed to be on the road so i could see the dimensions properly.

[@WhiteyMcKrackerHonke]

I'm considering to buy this new ES 350 next year - I'd be upgrading from '05 Camry XLE. I think the Hybrid would be a better choice because gas is not going to go down.

[@kevinisam]

My grandmother just bought a new Lexus they has a 2007 es 350 with gray interior and the black/green exterior the new own is a 2013 es 350 that's dark grey and the interior is black. So far I like it!

[@ShermanMR2]

Thanks for the review Tom.

[@YankeemanLT]

Tom, you're doing a great job. I'll go to your site and click on all the banners. Cheers from Lithuania, keep it up! :)

[@rdwhite83]

As always I enjoy your reviews. Thanks!

[@jeepfreak53]

Great review Tom!

[@chimaeraSPK]

Hi Tom. Are you going to do a real world review of the '13 Lexus GS 350? If you do, can you do the F Sport version?

[@TwoHawksHunting]

Great review Tom,

[@dvspot]

Beautiful vehicle.

[@zuti071]

You and your "brother" are doing great job!!!

[@EightiesBabyInc]

LOL. Tacky chrome being the ultimate deciding factor in whether or not to buy a car that's worlds and above better than the 2010 ES. That makes perfect sense.

[@canto_v12]

Nice preview! Looking fwd to the full test, and the Camry jeers from our commenters are seriously getting old.

[@cargogh]

This is the first car I've seen where tacky chrome door edging may look appropriate. Might match the grill.

[@cm18cam]

@saboobuu The new es350 is actually based on the next generation Avalon and not the Camry

[@WhiteyMcKrackerHonke]

I have actually been looking into it - the new Accord EX-L is almost a luxury car at 29k which is almost unbeatable. Instead of paying 25k down on a new Lexus I could have the Accord with little or no monthly payments...

[@1979irock]

Overall very good value

[@mfmelendez]

Great review

[@RumblestripDotNet]

Great review Tom, pretty much echo's my experience at the local drive here in Detroit last week. My write up (no video) is up on the blog. rumblestrip period net

[@Vscounter]

Tom, you might need more updates on Facebook, so that people can easily click the share button on it. Just a suggestion!

[@whiteliketar]

This es seems amazing but i think larger vehicles are less attractive these days. Can't wait for the new IS next year

[@TheBjjones]

Looking forward to a re-fresh of the ES-350 in a few years as Lexus needs a new engine, 268 hp isn't going to cut it any longer in the entry level luxury sedan class. I also think Lexus should have taken a que from Toyota & followed the new Avalon's blueprint (sans that bass mouth grille) as it looks to be a more refined and luxurious car overall than the 2013 ES-350.

[@saareee3]

you're awesome man!

[@omarns]

the side profile kind of reminds me of the IS

[@speedkar99]

Well I own an 05 ES, my friend's got a 99 ES. When I tried the 2012 and 2013 ES, in my opinion the quality of the materials isn't as nice as those in the older generation. The console plastics are much cheaper and the leather doesn't have that quality texture. Are there any reviewers who compare the new car directly to previous generations to judge interior quality? These days interior quality in all cars are on the decline and the Lexus only stands out relative to other new cars out there.

[@Erich2142]

Forgot to mention that it uses the exact same engine of the Toyota Camry except this one requires premium gas, LEXUS!

[@HaywoodHomestead]

No it doesn’t.. it takes regular. It also compares to the Avalon not the Camry

[@fiddleabe]

can you elaborate on how to calculate that?

[@celsorod]

These cars are very nice, also would consider an Avalon.

[@peter300pete]

great job Tom, you are a very good reviewer. but a little less focus on the specs from the manual and little more from the driving experience would be good. And I never understand why 100% of reviewers expect all cars to drive like a sports car, no matter what it is!!!!!!! 0-60, acceleration, steering wheel feedback, ??? yes good to have 'em all but these are meabt to be luxury cars. tnx again.

[@insidertrading1]

This car is no longer based on Camry so nice try... It's now based on a new shared platform that spawns the new Avalon

[@tinhinnh]

Nothing visually different for the exterior except the badges and hidden exhaust tip on the hybrid? Uhh, how about the most obvious thing - the wheels?!?!

[@TCB1468]

I love that interior but I don't know if I could drive a Lexus. Maybe I could drive a GS.

[@TCB1468]

Is that your real twin or some kind of editing trick because if I had a twin I don't think he would want to come for every video for 5 seconds in the video?

[@10Bryson52]

What the heck no chrome door handles or lower door chrome.... I will keep my 2010 w 8700.0 mi

[@blane237]

Yea but it shouldn't be long since the Hybrid model only costs about $3k more than the ES350

[@jacybunting4193]

I wish I had eighty Grand to buy and afford to Lexus ES hybrids.

[@AlohaBiatch]

lexus has made tons of improvements in their lineup the past year with the GS, ES etc... by completely changing the brand. if only toyota could do the same to their boring and stale lineup.

[@omgstevejobs]

Outgoing model looks better.

[@Jtob410]

OmgSteveJobs Hell naw

[@ers1027]

Thought it was an LS at first(: lol

[@fade7755]

All the negative comments (idiots who bought BMW's or Audi's instead of this car) or I should say idiots who bought cars that were WAY more expensive to make up for their poor self esteem who now regret not buying this car

[@fmmnta]

Epic

[@earthmaster4072]

9/10 your not gonna make up that difference in gas mileage unless you keep the car for 5-8 years depending on how you drive.

[@MrBraniac333]

Hey look its actually cheaper, or the same price, it drives better, looks better and does just about everything better than the avalon

[@bmwmsport11]

Idk but does any one think this is sculpted like a Hyundai azera? I think I'll go 2014 Toyota avalon limited.

[@MVMSBLISS]

nice

[@columbuscrewfan20]

When I look at the front I throught it was a GS.

[@mb013962]

40mpg city is better than our 2004 civic (mild) hybrid's 39mpg city

[@Slimecrazy234]

A little to much "Toyota" is uttered in a Lexus review (you wouldn't do the same with VW and Audi I'm sure), but otherwise nice video.

[@yordan826]

and you forgot!!!! no electronic parking brake but manual,love lexus man but that is awful!!!!!,i went to the dealer to see if could get a good deal on one and guess what!! no standard leather trim seats which is standard on any luxury car,all the luxury options are divided in expensive packages this ES350 was a huge let down!!,even looks amazing though but is not worth my money better deal the IS250.

[@EightiesBabyInc]

You're clearly full of shit because EVERY review I've seen of the new ES (from professionals to actual owners of the car who have been in the Lexus family for quite some time) have praised the interior quality of the new ES. Even if they bash the car on everything else, the interior is one thing reviewers have all positively agreed upon.

[@maloarfe]

Panoramic sunroofs suck.

[@Peter-wc4kr]

No climate control in back is a deal breaker.

[@PhoenixTun]

BAO ĐẸP

[@nilesh2104]

Have you ever owned a Lexus?? If you think it is a Toyota, then that's what you deserve!!!

[@mastermattmatt]

This car is jape ese mazen

[@s0nnyburnett]

Might as well buy a v6 camry with leather.

[@Sharpswordherald]

You mean an Avalon

[@BadgerinSC]

Get a Mercedes C Class. Period.

[@HaywoodHomestead]

Lolololololol and spend your life savings on the piece of shit

[@trucktwister]

Hey look an over-priced Avalon.

[@Slimecrazy234]

Mildly entertaining? How about best review videos on youtube.

[@TheWOWRichardqian]

Accord sucks? Are you kidding us? ALL Honda sucks! There are you go home boy. LOL

[@EightiesBabyInc]

Does what all? What features does the Accord have that match the ES? The Accord is insanely overpriced. I configured an EX-L the other day. It came to over $41,000!!! I can get a mid-range ES very nicely equipped, for just a few hundred dollars more than the Accord. No fuckin' way a person would be stupid enough to go for the Accord.

[@golfmaniac007]

this es is a camry. don't you want something with different feel from what you drive currently? go german!

[@68sexisaweapon]

I love mine!
