I've been driving this car for over 1 week now (Dealer Loaner). It looks good on the inside and outside, it's smooth smooth smooth in driving. This is not a race car. This is a very very comfortable way to get from Point A to B.
Very nice commuter car.
CalculusVariations99 Does it run on regular gas?
@@shujayethossain6554 yes
I had the same experience with the dealer back in 1995, test driving the new 1995 LS400. The dealer shocked us with all the knowledge and what this car had to offer at $60,000 price. This stuck with me, and that's why I only drive Lexus cars ever since.
My dream car in 2021! It’s only $20k with 50k miles LOL
Love your reviews man. So honest and decent. Keep up the good work
Straight to the point review! Always appreciated.
thank you very much. Very helpful information. You described everything what I needed!! Thank you
Thank you for this great review! I’m currently used car shopping and this helps me a lot! Have a great day!
MY DREAM CAR
Love the reviewer, Sam has an amazingly endearing, personal way of presentation. No doubt this is a great channel which continues the fast losing art of pleasing, decent and no-nonsense human communication where we treat our audience as our interlocutors and with due respect.
Thank you for all great work. Keep it up.
and yes - great review.
+ShreeBhasker Thank you for the compliment, you made us look up interlocutor in the dictionary ;)
+TestDrivenTV your accent is annoying!!!
J.Lethal he doesn't have an accent that I can tell ?
What are you? Some hillbilly with teeth missing living in a trailer? all of us have a fucking accent! Including you.@@j.lethal5174
Fantastic review, it made me a subscriber, your smooth, detailed presentation paired with your soothing voice makes the whole presentation terrific, I'm trading my 2015 RX 350F.
for this beauty, the RX 350 is good, but the mpg is killing me, so I'm definitely getting this certified.
Enjoyable review ! Thanks
THANK YOU.
Great review.
great review. just subbed and yeah you made me want to buy that car
I have one of these, I really enjoy it!
This looks way nicer then the previous gen
I liked the story about you as a college boy in a Lecus dealership and the way they treated you!
i got the same experience with the lexus dealer i actually felt bad that we werent buying the car because the dealer was so nice
All reviews would be like this.... in a perfect world.
I really liked your story about your treatment by the Lexus dealer when you were in college. I wish car dealers would treat all customers this way. Unfortunately I think half of car sales are the result of high pressure sales and the industry as a whole can't afford to treat potential customers with respect.
Can't wait to buy this car. Working full speed ahead. Thanks for doing the review!
Neil Lund did you buy it yet?
Smooth Operator Nope, ended up grabbing a Camry Hybrid for cheap while I wait for a Model 3 and the rumored plug in or fully electric ES.
Neil Lund I hear you. I was going to buy a Rolls Royce Phantom, but I ended up grabbing a used Pontiac Aztec while I wait for the 2035 Phantom redesign.
@@whitemailprivilege2830 I couldn’t breathe from laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂
I have a crappy commute and I've been looking for something to replace the Corolla my wife and I have been carpooling together in. The traffic is a combo of stop and go and highway speeds, so this seems like it might hit the spot.
Thank you 👍
How is the Cabin sound from Road?
A real gem in the Lexus line up. Aiming to buy this when i grow up.
A real Lexus gem? what does this have that others dont have??
Customer support.
In the lexus line up? Price and Size value. I'm guessing you don't know anything about the ES? Go to rival dealerships, set the front seat to your driving position and sit in the back. Then go and do the same with this car and you'll understand why. This car is MASSIVE for it's price.
Chris Sorreda Compared to Cadenza and it's competitors, this is much better, this has much better premium interior and much better exterior looks.
And this is a better car for this price, it's value won't depreciate like others. This is one beauty lexus.
Chris Sorreda Hyun Dai in Korean model is very fucking .... Lexus is much better interior and quality
this is so nice
u did great !
Very honest review ,I wish LEXUS had this in AWD I have the 2014 es300h it sucks in snow
+jay syed --Duh-really? You figured that out by your self did you?
Glen W. Ford --yes-really, Sounds like you have a AWD civic.
No-not the AWD. We don`t have snow.
I have the same and agree, it sucks in snow.
There is no AWD Civic.
It's the only Lexus out of the fleet that is FWD. Also, sadly there is no AFS in 2016. ME versions are noticeably different from the US ones, for example, Exteriors, the back bumper in the 3.5 V6, its sporty in US model, however it's like the hybrid in ME model. Also, in ME the door moldings are a standard. In interiors, more wood finishing in the ME model specially in the back seats A/C vents. In safety, smart front passenger SRS in US, not in ME, but back fog lights in ME and not in US. In technology, voice commands in US, but in ME it's only for phone contacts, also no app suites. Lexus should do more efforts in unifying the quality and giving a better meaning to their badge.
How is the audio system in it
The base version is ADEQUATE, and not terrible, but the ML (Mark Levinson) version is one the BEST that I’ve ever heard - and I’ve heard several thousand systems in my thirty years in the business!
The only other SPECTACULAR car audio system is designed by Bowers & Wilkins (available in several other very high-end luxury vehicles) for several thousand more dollars. Both are nothing short of shockingly good. But neither are cheap, for obvious reasons, of course.
Is the side mirrors power folded?
No, not in this model, unfortunately. However, They DO exist on higher models such as the LS and several others but they are ALL quite a bit more money.
The cabin is not as quiet as i thought it would be. But of course, it could be because of how the mic is mounted
its way quieter, Ive driven one before and just rode in one today.
Nelson-drive one. Then post a comment genius.
Navigation still not wide screen but square.
Michael Nguyen *butt
does this car come with power trunk
ossie keiler yes
Yes, and it’s super smooth. Both up and down have power options - or a manual option. Your choice. Totally silent and work perfectly.
I ha e this. It's a great car though having an issue with the maintenance light coming on. I think it has to do with the remote though, so either just needs a new battery or may need to take it to the dealer to get it checked. Economy mode is good but only if going 30mph or less. No power unless in sport mode for freeway and going up hills
Does it have real or faux leather?
It's genuine hides in this model thankfully.
Comes standard or only with ultra luxury package?
We recommend you see the Lexus website
Thanks
My grandparents bought this car and theirs has real leather and wood. Unfortunately the plastics feel kinda scratchy and American in the car though. But i love the ride quality, handling, and comfort.
AM GOING TO BE 23 AND I WANT THIS CAR. WONT I LIKE IT NOT MY CAR SINCE AM TO YOUNG AND MOST OF ITS DRIVERS ARE OLDER FOLKS
It has an older feel compared to the other Lexus sedans, but I think it's because of the 17 inch wheels. But if you were to change that to 18 or 19 inch wheels it would definitely look better.
So es 300h and 350 interior differences? Non? Just cargo space less?
Way better MPGs to don't forget that part 😂
If you are under 30 years old DON'T BUY IT, I repeat DON'Y BUY IT.
It's extremely boring car, it's just a car on 4 wheels
The new facelift looks modern but it's still a boring car
3BoOoDTV You're right,I'm going to buy a bike just like you.🤣
3BoOoDTV I have a different car for windy-road fun, while this one is hard to beat for commute.
I have a Prius. It's a boring car.
Your definition not mature for your age, I guess some of use adult faster then others and appreciate comfort over childish small rushes
@@danielregalado1778 I wrote this comment 4 years ago and I still agree with it. The more I grow up the more I prefer buying cool cars over luxury boring cars. I'm 35 and I own a lifted Sierra truck, Corvette and GSX-R 1000. I might be interested in luxury cars when I'm over 45
Looks like a corolla
