[@MeynMotorGroup]

The long awaited 2013 ES350 review is now finally up. Let me know what you guys think and as always, if there are owners of this vehicle please let us know how it has held up. If you would like to see what car I work on next, please follow me on insta @exhaustsports or become a Patreon member. Thank you again for your support

[@LordCommandor]

PA here and Carvana delivered my 2013 ES two weeks ago and everything you said is spot on. The cars runs buttery smooth, bumps are truly absorbed and the take off for passing vehicles on the highway is incredible. Mine is silver gray, had one owner with only 42k miles and it also has the mouse for navigation. Will easlily get ten years out of it. It's truly a beautiful car. Great vid.....stay safe.

I purchased my 2015 Lexus ES350 Ultra Luxury back in Jan 2015 with only 3 miles on it. Had it custom ordered with every toy on it for that year. Flash forward to present day with 112200 miles, still love driving the car. Never had one bad experience with it. Maintained at its scheduled intervals, always babied & pampered. It rides excellent with minor vibration due to the rubber dampners and such but Texas heat will dry them out but all in all. Still rides and drives great.

[@nichopaulu8395]

I haven’t driven as ES since the 1992 ES300 that we had several years ago. They are great cars. Please keep the Lexus content coming. I really enjoyed this review and my questions were answered about this generation of ES.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Nice 👍 I would love to check out the 92 ES actually just hard to come by as no one likes to get rid of them haha. I’m super humbled that you mentioned that, my whole goal with these car reviews is to have people’s doubts answered when it comes to the particular cars I review. I want people to walk away knowing to the best of their abilities what these cars are like. Thanks again for stopping by and showing support my friend

I think these ES looks better than the new ones😀

[@finney2011]

I just bought a 2015 ES 350, same color combo with the navigation 113,000 mi. I have owned a 2003 LS 430, 2007 LS 460 and 2016 GS 350 F Sport. I have also owned a 2006 Inifiti M35X, and a 2001 Acura TL. All were great cars. Nothing compares to this ES in BANG FOR THE BUCK! The ride is smooth as butter, quite and the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in , and the back seat has great leg room . Everything is within an arms reach and the interior was well thought out, no rattles, squeaks, or creaks. Class all the way. I love it every time I drive it. People can't believe it's almost 10 years old. The ES was meant to be a soft, cushy, cruiser, and comes with an engine that provides plently of power. I am getting 26-27 mpg avg so far, which is amazing, and runs on regular unleaded. I recommend this sedan over most other luxury models/brands for the money. If you don't have the need for AWD, go check this car out!

[@bryannelson6139]

When you upgrade to this model you mostly get a better handling vehicle but actually your generation will ride a better and might be slightly quieter if not the same in terms of quietness. But yea handling and a cool interior design is what you mostly get if that’s the type of change you’re looking for

Go for one that's at least 10-15 even 20 yrs old; the ES300 or ES330. '99 -'08yrs with 160k-185k mi. for around 4k-7k and if it was taken care of even just with average maintenance you'll get another 50-75k mi. out of it, easy. Had over 240k mi. on my '99 GS300 *it's an underrated car. Same as the Supra's 2JZ motor minus the turbo still a 3.0L.Inline6cyl. Overall great reliable cars. still made in Japan.

These are a SMOKING deal used right now, 15k(maybe less) if you can deal with higher miles and not quite pristine. Smidge under 20k if you get a bit nicer one with 30-50k miles. Just bought a 2014 with 50k on it. Test drove a 2019 4 cylinder Camry(whole generation newer) with 15,000 miles on it, same $19000 price tag. The ES 350 just beats the pants off the next gen Camry in terms of refinement, ride, features, and horsepower.

[@stephendibari5010]

AS you know i have this ES350 now with only 36kmiles. Starfire Pearl (white) exterior with black interior . Looks like this one you tested didn’t have the Luxury package, it was missing the rear window shade and cooled front seats. Mine doesn’t have the ML sound system which is fine, the BOSE system is great.. Also mine has the “mouse” style control for the interface. This was missing that.. It’s an OK system, but obviously you cant mess with it while driving. the only other negative is that the rear seats don’t fold down (similar to the LS). But Love the huge trunk. Think its 15 cu. ft. I bought mine last April with only 30,009 miles on it , came with Hancock tires.. Certainly not my choice, there aren’t that quiet and are not good in the snow... Ive rotated them once last summer and probably have about 10k remaining on the front set... Then ill go for Michelins or maybe Continentals. I have the same size 17 in. wheels and tires.. AT 17 inches they definitely give a better ride compared to 18 to 20 in. Rims you find on other luxury cars... I think Lexus “underrated” the horsepower on this V6, it feels more powerful... I think the next gen has 302 hp... i haven’t driven the newer one to compare... Did you find it the same power ? Really enjoyed this review.

Just bough a 2014 ES with 89K mi over the 2013 ES for specifically the Siri eyes free option that Lexus started implementing in 2014 in all vehicles While still a little primitive, it allows for a true hands free experience. Bought it for my wife, in an attempt to keep her phone down as much as possible while on the car. The memory seats can be programmed to each individual key fob, therefore automatically adjusting to each driver position as you open the door. This was a big plus as I tend steal her car on the weekends. Hope to keep this on the road for 7-8 years and then pick up a 2020 ES for a fraction of the $50K price.

The Predator grill doesn't look at scary on this one. I also believe this is when it moved to the Avalon platform...which begs the question should you just get an Avalon or is it all about dealer experience? 🤔 Great review as always.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea I agree haha. Usually the difference between a Lexus and Toyota is the engine and trans tuning is going to be a bit smoother and interior of course is going to be a lot nicer as well at least the layout anyways. Might have a bit more insulation to make it quieter but both great choices. Thanks again for watching my friend!

[@MusicConnoisseurian]

The Avalon feels cramped inside and we would hit our knees soon the side of the dash getting in the driver side, but in the end, they both have that terrible unergonomic seat contoured forward at the top. If you compare the previous generation before 2013, the Avalon handles and rides better than the ES.

I have the es300h and I love it a lot. Drive is smooth and sport mode is pretty sick. And still get north or 35mpg

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Nice that is great to hear. Yea I think it was smart of Lexus to make a hybrid ES. Looks like a nice normal luxury sedan but lot of efficiency

[@gben2457]

I like my 2017, it replaced my 2010 Accord, which was a sporty drive.

[@gben2457]

My 2017 ES inspires more confidence in corners than my V6 Accords. I was surprised.

[@kieule2654]

Replace front bumper with the 2020 one. it would look better

[@immabecoinz]

It's that easily interchangeable?

[@Phaseillfigure]

Hello should I get the Ls460 (I’ve seen your other videos) or the es350?

[@himeshk8667]

ES350 or GS350? 2013 versions of Both, roughly the same mileage here in Australia. And both cost roughly the same 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Ehh I would go GS if its the same price

[@SergCarReviews]

That’s so funny Himesh you say that because I’m also from Australia and even though the GS was anywhere from 10-30k more brand new, used they are the same price. If you’re interested at all, I’ve done a review on the 2015 ES and GS :)

[@vhf2582]

Very professional review. Good job.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Thank you my friend I appreciate you watching!

[@clapp2013]

Stuck between buying the ES and a 2017 Audi A4 can’t decide which to buy

I would lease the Audi but Buy the Lex

[@autovibez]

I miss my 2016 Lexus ES. Traded it for the Stinger GT and now they both are gone.🤔

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Hey how are you sir hope you’ve been doing great. What are you rocking now?

[@autovibez]

@@MeynMotorGroup I'm doing okay. I don't have anything that replaced the Stinger GT as of yet. What about you? I loss track after you traded in your Stinger GT.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

@@autovibez Currently rocking a 440i BMW lease had it for close to 8 months now dude it is a lot better than the Stinger I have to say driving wise. They are really cheap to lease now too. I really wanted a CPO G80 with a V8 tho but they just don't exist in my area as they don't sell many Genesis cars

[@autovibez]

@@MeynMotorGroup NICE! You got a 4 or 6?

[@stevenanguisaca2866]

Ima real estate agent lmao and I have one

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Haha very nice excellent choice

[@vaikastash]

Is international shipping available from this dealer?

[@TheBlooRayChannel]

I have the 2008 ES 350 and I do prefer the look of the 13-18 gen. But if it doesn't ride as good, I don't want one. I'm not looking for tight corners. I want a living room on wheels. Which ones better in your opinion? 13-18 or 07-12?

[@guesswho993]

My dad has 2013 and I own 2007 model. They drive similar but I think the 13 model drives a little better and feels more powerful and more responsive

[@TheBlooRayChannel]

@@guesswho993 when you say better, is the ride softer or firmer? I don't want a firm ride. I want a living room on wheels.

[@TrevzTv]

Lot attendants missed those bumper bugs. Come on guys ,it’s a Lexus.

[@web_dev-rl2ve]

These are great cars. I wanted this or a gs350 for Uber but even the old ones with 80k miles were going for $20k+ so I settled on a 2016 Lincoln MKZ 3.7 with only 6.8k miles for around that price. It amazes me how well Lexus cars depreciate

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea they certainly do hold their value haha. Congrats on the new Lincoln!

[@web_dev-rl2ve]

Exhaust Sports Auto thanks! I like the Lincoln. Might upgrade the stock exhaust since it has the ford cyclone V6 :) one of the main reasons I bought it lol. I still want to eventually get a Genesis with the 5.0 but the Lincoln is Uber practical for what I use it for, pun intended haha

[@MeynMotorGroup]

@@web_dev-rl2ve Yea I def understand I'm sure your clients would love being in the back of a newer lincoln like that too. You will absolutely love a G80 with a V8 let me know if you ever try one out.

[@web_dev-rl2ve]

Exhaust Sports Auto I will! I’ve fallen in love with the Genesis just by watching reviews on KZbin or seeing them on the road. They’re so attractive. I wanna get the ultimate package with the HUD too. I’ve seen them with 50-70k miles going for just over $20k. It’s my goal this year! And I’ve heard the V8 is really reliable too and decent gas mileage. Can’t be much worse than I currently average. I only get a combined 19mpgs.

[@web_dev-rl2ve]

Exhaust Sports Auto the only other car that I’d maybe consider over the G80 is the Kia stinger. Although I don’t know how reliable they’d be....

[@consciousawakening4799]

Would you recommend this generation (2013+) over the previous generation (2007-2012)? I’m looking for a lower priced Lexus product that can give some “fun to drive” dynamics to it while being a dependable vehicle.

[@roddydykes7053]

I’d imagine for the money, if you can afford one those new generation ones, get something else. But the 2007 ones are a bargain and a half being a sub-$10k car

[@devonpeters9458]

I think 2013+ is definitely not going to be super sporty, but it’s more “fun” than the previous version, imo. A little less “floaty”

[@MidtownMeezus]

If I bought this today am I making mistake because it has no AWD? Live in Suburbs of NYC

[@ohurley11]

Why would you need AWD? I live in Ontario (Canada) and just bought one. AWD = higher maintenance costs and worse gas mileage. With snow tires and sensible driving you'll be fine if that's what you're worried about.

[@MusicConnoisseurian]

Had 2014 ES350 30 days. The seats cause severe upper back pain since they decided to lean the top of the seat forward into my shoulders and create a dip in the seat just below. I can get in my friend's 2019 Camry and the back pain goes away immediately. The pain was so severe, I had to see doctor until I got rid of the vehicle. Loved the ES350 otherwise but why did they stop using the greatest one size fits all seats from all previous generations.

[@MusicConnoisseurian]

Just before getting this car was driving thousand mile trips in 1999 ES300, which was light years ahead in comfort.

[@scrapnewyork]

That's on you, why blame the car for your shitty back? I've had three ES350's and the seats are very comfortable

[@MeynMotorGroup]

😆 ES seats are supremely comfortable

[@thesoulforge3607]

I got a 2013 78k miles white for 15k. Great shape. I'm gonna drive it a little but really am thinking upgrading to a LS

[@MeynMotorGroup]

LS is def nice if you can find a great deal on a CPO

[@scottmorey9655]

What's the price?

[@patrickmeaney6743]

Just bought this. Best car overall-p

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Wow massive congrats my friend!

[@blacksheep3249]

Thoughts on a 2013 GS350 with 140k miles for $14.5k? Great carfax and maintenance at Lexus dealership

[@cristobalcardona5592]

Even a Lexus never get the first year after they remodeled usually something goes wrong! They are more less testing things etc! If you can buy it new then the problems will have to be resolved by the dealer! But used you are usually the one paying up! That's a different scenario!

[@johnde2754]

Recently purchased this model Lexus with 87K and got a break on the 4 year B to B warranty. Not spectacular gas mileage so I tend to keep the dial on "ECO" for maximum benefit. Overall seems to be a sound vehicle that was definitely helped by the previous owner's vigilance in adhering to the scheduled maintenance intervals. Question ? - Does the 2013 require 93 octane fuel ? BTW - whatever happened to your '08 LS wrap/paint correction project content ? Was really looking forward to the "big reveal" video. Many Thanks Yo ! 🔎🚘🚦 🤷‍♂️ 🔚
