I have the 2023 Es350 ultra lux and highway driving is like a dream, but local driving with the v6 is sluggish from 0mph and there is a lot switching gears with the 8 speed, the gas mileage is also terrible unless you drive it very very conservatively. I regret not getting the hybrid. Everything else about the car is unbelievable. The eCVT transmission on the hybrid will out last you, the 8 speed at some point will need to be repaired.

Agree, I’m in my fourties’ I don’t need a sports car only. I need a luxury comfortable ride with a little sportiness as well. The Lexus ES 350 f sport hits the spot

[@Argedis]

I Love this Generation ES 350. I definitely want to get one. I already see several used 2019's going around $35k which saves at least $10k from buying new. But the last gen ES350s can be found for around $20k which is also very tempting. Either way I'm pretty sure my next car will be an ES thanks to your reviews Kevin!

For 20 grand will be very hard to find like 4 or 5 year old one with relatively low mileage unless u will take 2013 model, even 2016 models u will not find for 20 grand unless it Has 100K on it, that's the truth.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Oh wow that sounds terrible. The one similar experience that I had was with a 2010 TSX. The ignition coil went out so while I was driving I basically lost all power and I immediately pulled over to a store. I couldn't turn the car on afterwards but in your situation it seems like you can still drive the car its just reluctant to shift and feels like it's making much less power so I'm not sure.

@@MeynMotorGroup ahhh that's a good point! I didn't even think about the coils, but I definitely had one go out on my old Corolla and felt something similar. Bittersweet if it's the coils because I'd have to come out of pocket on those since it's outside the warranty 🤣

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Hmm that's interesting I had a bumper to bumper warranty on my TSX and it was covered but it was actually a pretty cheap replacement like $200 if memory serves correctly and my deductible was like a $100 so wasn't terrible hopefully it's something small and cheap on your vehicle

[@brentonl1746]

Great review as always, I did have a new ES and was pretty happy with it especially the fuel economy. Unfortunately we don't get the V6 here only the 2.5 Hybrid. We desperately need the V6 to fill a huge gap in our market here as this size car and engine combo is disappearing faster than when dinosaurs left us. Cheers Brenton

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea the hybrid is great but I know what you mean, the V6 is epic but sadly all of these NA motors will be going away soon

[@nicholasbabeaux2052]

It is so overlooked, you get a lot for your money and a lot comes standard, sure the infotainment could use Improvement, but they look really good, and that's a car that you buy. Audi A6, BMW 5 series, Jaguar XF you got to lease those, this will be trouble-free for years and hold it value pretty damn well

Yea always has been overlooked and misunderstood truly a great car

[@Imagenation08]

This is my dream car right here. I drive a low-mileage 2010 camry and I love it, but the ES f sport will be such a sweet upgrade when I get my money up. My only concerns are the 19inch wheels going over these potholed roads, and whether or not future ES models will finally have folding rear seats (please please have these, Lexus!).

[@jameslatief1]

It's the goldilocks sedan for Lexus, assuming they're not already signing the papers for the RX or NX.

[@patrickviet6786]

I just wish they'd make the AWD V6 ES350... I did a test drive on the AWD ES250... Very nice car, handling, space, smooth, comfortable, all that. But it's a 4 cyl and I really feel it when driving, doesn't have the sound or refinement of a six. (I need AWD for winter). And it takes regular fuel, that's so nice

[@edwink1467]

The 250 is way too underpowered. It might be fine for commute in Asian cities, but you can feel the sluggishness on highway on-ramps and when you are trying to pass someone.

Future cars are going to be EVs and most likely ES will go away and get replaced by some SUV

I have the regular hybrid in black (which I hate, because it hides most of the character lines etc. that they built into the exterior). The car is just amazing. No, it's not as fast as the V6 and you can tell. And it's un-Lexus-like if you really floor it. But overall it's just an amazing car. Quiet, comfortable, huge back seat, plenty of room in the trunk.

You give such a practical perspective on cars without the “car elitist” vibes (nothing wrong with that, but those peoples typically are one track minded with performance being the only thing that matters)

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Hey my friend thank you for your kind words so Genesis is truly an epic vehicle I leased a 2018 3.8l a while back really solid piece of machinery and objectively drives better than the ES primarily in terms of handling. However a key point to note when it comes to ownership is the dealership experience. 9/10 times a Lexus dealership is going to treat you a lot better than a Hyundai dealer. I'm lucky in my area because I do have a great Hyundai dealer near me but you would have to do more research in your area regarding the dealers and the vibes they give you

This is wild comparison question, but how does it compare with GS F, considering it will be quite cheaper. I have GS F now and was wondering if I should sell it in the hot used car market and think about the F-Sport for the latest tech (Apple CarPlay, etc).

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Only driven the RC F the F cars ride great actually difference between that and the ES riding well is the true “magic carpet” feel of the ES. Feels like a 6 figure luxury barge rolling down the road quiet impressive for the money. Obviously this sacrifices any and all handling characteristics, F Sport helps a tad but not by much best thing about F Sport for 2021 and up is it maintains the excellent ride. Not sure if you were going for the V6 or the hybrid, I personally think hybrid is the way to go on the ES, demeanor is totally different on this car so V6 doesn’t drastically improve the experience since motor is so hush, might as well go hybrid and get 40 mpg. You will have a different respect for the ES and you will appreciate it for a totally different reason. Obviously it’s slower but you won’t really care because you will find yourself never wanting to floor it. It’s satisfying doing the speed limit he’ll even under the limit

FWD sports car at 6.6 sec. should be an aggressive move for grandma in her Florida 55 and over community. Lol

[@MrTresto]

It's not a sports car, never pretended to be... It's a luxury car, made to be smooth and comfortable. If you want high performance, potentially at the cost of comfort or refinement, that's completely fine. You can get a WRX, Camaro, Mustang, etc for way less money. :-)

@@MrTresto Then don’t put the F sport badge on that model. Put the L sport badge .... it’s a joke of any badge of sport.

[@drj2039]

I had an Aurion with the 3.5 V6 FWD. Loved the engine but I didn't care so much for FWD drivetrain so I went for the 3.5 RWD GS. It suits my driving style more but yeah if you don't care about the drive wheels the ES I'm sure is a brilliant car.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea the FWD sucks but what to do that's how they keep the costs down

Appreciate you my friend!

6.6s for the 0-60? I thought these were consistently just around the 6s mark

[@MeynMotorGroup]

6.6 is the official Time Lexus quotes. It can be faster or slower than that I personally don't care about that number I just know it feels good to me

[@champion5545]

@@MeynMotorGroup Oh damn, it got slower in the refresh lol.

Don't talk to me about sedans anymore...Frankly, luxury sedans are gradually disappearing...because it doesn't make sense to buy a car for an amount when you can own a suv for the same price...

[@fraservalley9027]

Most people agree with you about SUV’s. I have both an SUV and a sport sedan. Each brings their own feel and driving experience. I do enjoy the ride and handling of a quality sedan very much, especially in the curvy, hilly back roads and through the mountains. You would need something like a Porsche SUV to have similar drive characteristics to a good sports sedan.

[@tonysterbenc]

You can't buy an SUV for the same price. Not with equal power and features. SUVs command a price premium of thousands.

@@MeynMotorGroup im with you , that red IS would look really good alongside your LC. Ive heard your car market is crazy right now so somebody probably had that car on back order and thats why you couldnt even touch it

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Well these cars aren't through a dealership these are press cars that the manufacturers themselves provide journalists with for testing and review purposes. We spend 1 week with these vehicles. Last week they gave me the Bronco Sport, and the provided me with the ES for this week not sure what car they will give me next. I also am getting cars every week from another Press fleet, currently also have the 2021 Nissan Titan Pro4x for a week. This is why I'm selling that old saggy LS460 no need and no space for that car.

This is a nice car and all but for $70-80K?? Just get a freaking LS then. Twin turbo V6 and RWD with available AWD. Probably the nicest Lexus ever made. The ES is a great value for $40-50K, but definitely not $80K lol

The thing with Euro cars is you gotta spend $70k plus to get anything decent. For $50k and under, most Euro cars are tin cans and that's where Lexus Acura shines. You get a legitimate automobile for the price that doesn't feel cheap. $70k and up no question I'm going German all day

[@nathanmaxwell2188]

@@sayemak99I meant the parts are cheap as in, they break easily. BMW is notorious for plastic parts. I heavily researched it, because I was looking at German made cars. My mechanic validated it too. Yes, the parts are VERY expensive and most mechanics don't want to work on them. You have to find mechanics that specifically work on German cars. There's a reason why people only keep them for 3-5 five years. Warranty is over and parts start breaking.

$50k and no ambient lights smh👎👎👎

Yea for most people the Disco lights are very important they are starting to implement that

[@MrTresto]

I gotta say, that one time I rented an E-class when traveling, the ambient lights really did it for me... Just kidding, I was amused for 2min and then totally didn't care anymore. I did like the nice ride quality and the well made interior and the seats. Very similar to an ES overall except RWD and probably less reliable over time (or at least more expensive to maintain)
