I had a BMW... got towed so many times i dare not buy one anymore. Changed to Audi.. .was ok for the first 5 years... then it started having problems here and there all the time after that.. and it had to be towed last week. My dad used to drive Merc.... after he bought Lexus he never looked back. I prefer the look of German cars... but i guess i have had enough. I am getting old and i just need a freaking car that doesn't breaks down all the time!

I dont know if they did, but hopefully, they just grabbed the AWD system from the GS and put it on the ES unchanged. It handles very very well and would do the 3.5L V6 justice. They really need a new V6 though, the 3.5L is 15 years old now and very underpowered.

@@p_enta5012 it's definitely not the true rear-wheel torque-vectoring that was found in the GS-F or in Acura's SH-AWD. The Lexus ES AWD uses a fake system that just brakes the inner wheels while turning, it doesn't have a real torque-vectoring rear axle.

Great review. I bought mine in July, and there are two additional features not shown here. 1. Trunk kick release, so you don’t have to fumble around for the button release 2. Brake hold, so you don’t have to keep your foot on the pedal at traffic lights like a peasant ☺️

I've driven both a 2018 and a 2019 ES 350, and it is amazing how Lexus improved it between the generations. It feels so much nicer on the inside and rides a lot smoother - not that the older car wasn't smooth, it's just that Lexus made the ride a little less busy this time, with less body roll and less jiggly motions over the bumps. Awesome car and great to see your take on it.

I have a 2020 model and it is amazing. I never touch the Trackpad while driving, use the manual controls to make any adjustments. As you mentioned the Trackpad is fine when stationary and it allows for that great placement of the screen. I really like that it’s not close like a touch screen. If you find the Trackpad a bit too sensitive you can dial that down in the Settings.

@@tonysterbenc Its great! Still runs like its brand new. We got the hybrid and the fuel economy has come in handy in this climate ahah. Its still zippy but nothing fast and surprisingly has very grounded and somewhat of a sporty drive in terms on handling if you want to chuck it around corners. When in comfort mode, the drive is extremely comfortable. Its definitely the most comfortable sedan I've ever been in and for its class too. We had a similar generation e300 and an older generation a6 and they weren't as comfortable as this thing, although the other two are more sporty too drive, especially the audi. But they had issues (nothing big) in the first year of ownership. Nothing has gone wrong in the lexus yet and I dont think it will for a long time.

We currently own a 2020 ES350 Luxury trim model as it was difficult for the dealer to locate an ultra luxury trim with the specific color combination for us back in February. I agree with all of the features you have shown with this trim especially the extremely difficult to maneuver infotainment system. The only 2 points that I find Lexus is somewhat lacking compared to its competitors (for example the 2015 C400 4MATIC we used to own, purchased new in 2014) are: 1--The trunk can be opened with a push of the button from the driver seat. However, it cannot be closed with the push of the same button compared to the C400. It can however, be open or close with the foot gesture under the rear bumper. 2--The only USB connection to play MP3 files is located in the compartment right below the CD player. When the flash drive is inserted, the lid cannot be closed so it is somewhat in the way and can be knocked off if you are not too careful during driving. However, I do find that the Mark Levinson system in this Lexus sounds much better than the Burmester sound system in our previous C400 and the Bang & Olufsen in the SL550.

Maybe not. The LS actually isn't very full-size inside. It has a smaller measured interior and no great advantage in trunk space either. On the other end of the price spectrum, the ES comes up short in versatility compared to its cheaper stablemate, the (soon discontinued) Avalon, because the back seat doesn't fold.

I like the new dash lay out that Lexus uses - practical & tactical without being too dated looking - in other words in five years it will still look good. the tail - oh boy, sexy, yeah I love a lil junk in the trunk, ya know what I mean. butt really Joe is Lori feeding you enough? I'm kinda worried about all these snack food references - did that tape worm come back? ya know I love ya bro.

Doe I am very much a 2021 IS guy, as this ES is a bit Komono Chickie, tho still pretty ;). Lexus really does need to put in some serious engines (WTF is up with the resistance to do that? Crazy!!), put some starch into the suspension, add all wheel drive to all models, and they would have a legit direct contender to the Audi A6. :) JV Johnny

I came to the ES 350 from an AWD sport sedan. Yes, it needs AWD, or at least limited slip, but the power is perfectly satisfactory. 6 seconds to 60 if you can avoid the wheelspin, faster on the highway than that implies, and unlike the Fours it never sounds like it's straining.

They really need to add optional AWD to the 3.5L V6. They have offered AWD on the RX, which is also a FWD based car with a 3.5L V6, for forever. What’s stopping the same system from being implemented on the ES?? I don’t get it
@tonysterbenc
@tonysterbenc 2 жыл бұрын
As I understand it, space. They might be able to do e-AWD or AWD with a turbo Four, but not with the V6. My strong suspicion is that they'll do all of that in the next gen, probably for 2024. But I'll miss the naturally aspirated V6.

Great review Joe.. as you know I have a 2013 ES350 with only 39k miles, by far the most reliable and dependable car ive ever owned and I’m on#20 since i turned 17 in 1981! Mine has the Luxury package, 17 in rims, doesn’t have the Marc levenson sound system, I have the Bose system which is great. Missing all the bells & whistles like the Ultra Luxury package but the Starfire Pearl triple coated white paint is remarkable. This one will be a keeper for 10+ years we’ll into my retirement days. The original owner took delivery in summer of 2012, so basically its been on the road for just over 8 years and Believe me it rides like it just came off the showroom floor! Tight and quiet. I only did 2 synthetic oil changes since I bought it in April 2019 and changed one TPM Sensor... the build quality is unparalleled, fit & finish is amazing. THere are times when i wish I bought a IS350 for the nimbler handling, etc. but I’m happy with this ES350, large trunk and interior space definitely wouldn’t have gotten that with an IS. If I want to get sporty, I put it in Sport mode and the steering tightens up and throttle response kicks up, it really transforms the car into a more aggressive sportier car. ECO mode is a mush, feels like it turns into a 4 cylinder engine, the throttle response disappears. I rarely use ECO, most often i keep it in Normal mode.

Can you please review cars along with someone who is petite? For people 5 feet tall and under, those headrests come all the way above their head and where those seat sides hug your torso, they actually fold our shoulders inwards. Also, please always show how far the actual seat adjustments go - how high and low, how much forward they can go, and whether the seat bottom's front sides can be tilted down to allow for the leg to reach the accelerator without blood circulation being cut off under the knee. These are extremely important parameters, especially when we're talking about spending as much money for the car as could buy a small house.

The Luxury and Ultra Luxury trim levels have a driver's seat cushion whose forward edge tilts infinitely up and down like the footrest of a recliner, and all the way down, it will get out of your way. I believe there's also an obscure feature in the seat travel where you can access a whole other range of seat travel that's friendier to shorter people, but best you ask your dealer to confirm that.
