I have watched a few reviews on these Lexus ES 350 and all I’ve heard were positive reviews with minimal to almost none negative thing. To sum up the rest of the reviews so far, this Lexus ES 350 regardless of the trim is a great car. I hope to see one in my garage in the near future.
100k miles is the problem-free lifespan of most brands. 100k miles is a Lexus’s break in period. My 07 ES made it to 340k with a total of 0 issues (with good maintenance) before it got totaled.

100k free it is so common for Honda and Toyota, now the problem is the new 2022 es it is manufactured by American so many ppl tell me it has a lots of small problems
Just got a 2009 Lexus ES 350 with 82,000 miles as a daily driver car. Navy exterior with beige interior. Also has 2020 Lexus ES 350 f sport rims which make it look better.
I just took possession of this exact same car several days ago. The only difference is mine is white on the outside. Freaking love this car! You have to drive one to understand how buttery smooth it feels driving around. The ride and handling is perfect for me...I am 40 years old and want a comfortable, plush ride with just a little bit of sport handling for everyday driving- this knocks it out of the park! This is not gonna win any speed races with any corvettes, but is more than adequate to have a little fun on your daily commute. The throttle and brakes are super smooth as well. As you can tell my #1 adjective for this car is...SMOOTH!!! BTW, the Mark Levinson sound system is amazing too! Look forward to many years and miles of worry free reliability.
Wow! Thank you for that input. That was very helpful. I have an 07 Infiniti M35x. It has been a wonderful car, and it sounds a lot like the ES: Smooth and comfortable, reliable and long lasting, with just a tad bit of git up and go when you need it. I will definitely be test driving one of these soon. Thanks again Keith!
@@chipstroz3846 You have a nice car! I had a 2005 Infiniti Q45 and it was solid and reliable like Lexus. I've owned several Lexus and Infiniti vehicles (GS, ES, RX; QX, Q45) and never had any problems. I recently bought a 2022 ES350 and it is smooth & comfortable with enough power for daily driving.
Just bought a 2022 ES350. Nicest car (by far) I've ever had. In fact, I'm a little bit intimidated by it at this very early juncture. I just never imagined that a car could be so nice as this.
There's something great about a luxury car that is made to be a tad more sporty. All the fun you could want in a daily driver. Lexus cars/SUVs in my mind are always a sure thing. Yes there are more fun cars out there but that blend of luxury, style and dependability is a winning combo.
You cant beat Lexus build quality and reliability. No gloss black on interior! 👍 Silky smooth v6 and good mpg. Great looking vehicle……thanks Joe and Lori !
Just got this car and am loving it. It makes everyday driving a blast. I am continually surprised by the smooth 6 cylinder in sport mode. The interior lacks for nothing in terms of comfort. My only zing is that it lacks a 360 view camera.
The 12" screen and forward position is great. The black and red interior looks awesome. I would trade the old clock with a larger display area and get rid of the CD play for more open space underneath the control buttons panel. You never talk about the windshield and the sensors on it. Still drive the 2017 model and it's still run like the first day I drove it off the dealership. One additional big plus about Lexus is their services and their waiting rooms come with first class customer comfort with free coffee, drinks and massage chair and life time car wash.
8:15 This would be a great time in the video to show us what the lighting looks like. After you rev the engine, hit the brakes, turn signals, and reverse lights. Then as you come towards the camera a few seconds later, hit the signals again and headlights and brights. People like to know what the lights all look like.
This is the car I’m gonna get when I go home from the airforce for vacation next year I just love the design of it Lexus does a great job in everything
hey joe, i made a coffee for myself while chillin’ and saw your new content and all i can say is what a beautiful sunday👌🏼you always deliver joe! your fan from Vancouver, BC.
This car's beautiful! Now that Toyota's announced that '22 is the last year for the Avalon, they should launch a luxed out Camry Limited trim. I couldn't afford this Lexus, but an upscale Camry would be nice, and it wouldn't get to close price wise to this car.
Mercedes and other German brands are the kings of leasability. No one buys these cars for long term ownership and trade them in after 5 years for someone else to buy for peanuts. Lexus not only competes in reliability but also in style and other areas but their brand philosophy takes change gradually. Mercedes was good before Lexus hit the market and they've been riding on their rep for decades.
BMW is all plastic under the hood and honestly, if you seriously think that buying an extended warranty on an already expensive car is smart thinking then I can't help you. The Lexus ES is not based on the Camry or Avalon anymore and even if it was the quality of the Lexus ES is leagues above BMW. Think twice. Write once.
Exactly 💯..i said that a few years ago in a BMW forum and they wanted to crucify me for saying that..😅.BMW and other German car companies tend to give problems after 3 to 4 years of ownership..
If you're careful, up here in the snow, fwd is fine. I'm liking this one! Brightwork isn't overly heavy, so not a big zonk. That interior is nice! Thanks for a great Sunday review, Joe. Lori, another fine video. Thanks for all you do!
Joe and Lori.. I LOVE this LEXUS! I can totally dig it! Joe, your description was ON THE MONEY as usual! Guys thanks for sharing this Video( I as usual will re-share it many times.Lori great job on production, video, etc as always! RIDE ON ! I will see you guys on anther ride!
Hey Joe, I really like your videos. By the way, for remote starter press the lock button 3 times, the third time hold it until you see the turn signal lights flashing and the engine will start 😎.
It's a PIA to use the FOB, as you need to see it to know it works. I use the App on for our RX450h; still not as easy as hitting the button on our Jeep GC which gives a confirming honk when started that I can hear in the back of the house getting my coffee.
Great demonstration Joe! I just picked up my 2022 ES 350 F Sport yesterday. Mine is black with the same red/black interior. I live in South Florida, so I have dark tint….. looks amazing with the black paint and rims!!
This is amazing piece of machinery with every aspects. This is not a sport sedan and never was meant to be build like that, it has perfect combination with more than enough power and excellent ride quality for everyday driving!!!
@@rosendorendonjr ES 250 has a 4 cylinder engine with turbo and it has AWD as opposed to ES 350 which its base model is a 6 cylinder engine and does not have the AWD option. ES 350 is very quiet and more fuel efficient than the ES 250.
@@rosendorendonjr Most reviewers who've driven both dismiss the ES 250 despite its AWD because its 4-cylinder Camry engine is loud, coarse and slow compared to the ES 350's V6, and cheapens the character of the car.
Nice review! I have the same vehicle, 2021, and it truly is an amazing vehicle, at a bargain price! I am very pleased with everything, especially the red seats and interior. I do want to let you know that the key fob actually does have the remote start, feature you simply press the door lock button three times, holding the button for several seconds on the third press.
Sold my porche carrea,1990, five, four wheel drive, horrific in traffic, almost twice what I paid, 200,000 miles, great car, but my new Lexus is so sweet to drive, old Nana will definitely drive this car until I am 90‼️
😃 Field Day! Brings back memories...thanks for all the old school flashbacks during all your videos! Sharp looking watch, what brand is it? You and your wife are an awesome team!
Always a quality vehicle at a fair price. I know purists will argue that it's not a true luxury/sports car with out rear wheel drive. This car is sharp, well-finished, quiet and dependable and as a result enjoys strong resale value, this is not the case for most of its competition. A nice mid-cycle refresh 👍🏽
@@michaelschwab9563 Absolutely. I had an absurd online debate with somebody who insisted RWD was better in the snow. Had to be someone too young to remember when you had to try it for real.
Just wanted to say hi from Guam Joe. I watch youtube a lot and you are one of the best content creators for car reviews. Yes Lexus reliability is amazing just test drove a used 2007 model and it ran like new compared to a 2011 BMW 3 series which had an acceleration delay when stepping on the gas. I can't wait for your "ON THROTTLE OF THE IS 500".
Good review as always. Beautiful reliable smooth as butter luxury car I prefer the non F sport trims cause this is a luxury cruiser not a sports sedan.
I owned a 2019 ES; the same generation as the '22. I really liked that car, and having owned the new RX, the ES was surprisingly much quieter; no comparison. However, the ES drives like a big heavy boat. It's fast enough, but I wouldn't say it's "fun" to drive. The selling point is quietness and softness.
@@kevinbreese5739 Don't be fooled by the "F sport" badge, it means very little in the subject of suspension, motor, or transmission. It's literally just an option package of exterior and interior cosmetics.
I own a 22 F sport ES 350 and I don't think it drives like a boat (IE Dodge charger), but I have to agree 100% on the lack of the "fun" factor. We got this as a car to use for trips and situations where we wanted comfort, but the car seems to be aimed at a market of much older drivers. The technology is behind in comparison to other brands. People always ask us about our Lexus and we say "it's really nice, until you buy a BMW". But if you know exactly what you want in a car, this is exactly what it's intended to be. And that is a great thing.
Great review… wife owns a 2019 white (black interior), es350 f-sport. Wrapped the chrome window trim and roof in gloss black. Took out the wheel gap with RS-R lowering springs… nice stance now. She loves it!
My mom is going to order one this week, though not an F Sport. I’m binging all 2022 ES content as a result. We’ve been thinking she needed a new car due to a few reasons so she’s selling a 2012 Volvo XC70 that’s been nothing but solid for her. She did sit in an F Sport and immediately identified being uncomfortable with the highly bolstered seats. I think the car she’ll get is going to be a great car for her and it’ll be her first Lexus. After a string of Volvos and BMWs through the years since 1982, and to varying degrees of satisfaction, I’m hopeful that the entire experience of owning this car is a highly pleasant one. Thanks for the review, Joe. You cracked me up with the Warrant reference. You bring me back, man!
Not feasible on this generation. There's not enough room under its platform for both the V6 and the AWD transfer case. The next-gen ES in '25 will have AWD and more horsepower, although no V6 anymore in any model.
I’m still waiting for the price of the 2019 to go down 😁,I’m back on forth between es350,Avalon touring,stinger,g80,k900,2.0 accord touring in the use market 2019-2020!
This is the King of sedans, pound for pound. Don't squeeze a better 0-60 time out of that magnificent V6 just let Lexus keep all of its soul and stay the very best at what it does best. Sometimes love comes slowly and I think I could grow to love it. Lexus is always a slow lover. The longer you own one, the more and more you love it. I typically don't like black wheels but I agree this is tasteful with the silver paint. And thank you Lexus for not painting the calipers red. So sick of that fad in sports cars.
Great review, Joe. I wished it had these features: 1. 360 degree camera 2. Digital controls for heat/AC for rear seat passengers 3. More horsepower and torque 4. All wheel drive 5. Massaging seats My '21 Audi A6 has #1, 2, 3, and 4. It is also more sporty-looking. I get it that people who buy a Lexus are looking for reliability in a luxury sedan. Since the GS was discontinued, folks like me looking for a sedan are "looking" at the ES. However, I do not think I will be switching to a Lexus anytime soon.
Well despite the fact those things would make it a more "suped up" ride, you're missing the fact that they're giving us a naturally aspirated V6 engine with over 300hp, long term reliability, and lower depreciation than any of the vehicles you target for the features you mentioned above. Lexus is not competing as a race car, it's competing as a premium car.
@@MikeBlue77 not everything is about looks,. People who value, reliability and best resale value would get the Lexus despite not being the best looking vehicle in it's class.
@@dude-yg9ez It actually loses traction really easily with FWD though. More so than other FWD cars, which here in the NW where it rains a lot (i.e., more opportunities to more easily break traction on slick roads) is a deal breaker. I think it's begging the question to suggest that you're not "supposed to be flooring" this car. Sometimes you gotta goose it.
My wife already told me to buy her that one!!! I really loved it!! Thank you guys for the great job and information! Simplemente los mejores!!! Siempre los imitan mas nunca los superan!!!!
I went to car show yesterday and seen this in person 🔥 white with the red interior don’t even get me started on that center console man😂😂😂😂😂 I was about to pull a fast and furious
I've owned German cars and Japanese cars, primarily. I sold off my last German car in 2004 and never went back. I prefer reliability and serenity. Lexus is still the king of those 2 preferred qualities.

However, the ES drives like a big heavy boat. It's fast enough, but I wouldn't say it's "fun" to drive. The selling point is quietness and softness.
Thanks for sharing that great ownership input!
@@RaitisRides when is the 2023 lexus es 350 f sport coming out also will we get a new infotainment system
Yours probably wasn't an F-sport, which is the subject of this video.
@@kevinbreese5739 Don't be fooled by the "F sport" badge, it means very little in the subject of suspension, motor, or transmission. It's literally just an option package of exterior and interior cosmetics.
I own a 22 F sport ES 350 and I don't think it drives like a boat (IE Dodge charger), but I have to agree 100% on the lack of the "fun" factor. We got this as a car to use for trips and situations where we wanted comfort, but the car seems to be aimed at a market of much older drivers. The technology is behind in comparison to other brands. People always ask us about our Lexus and we say "it's really nice, until you buy a BMW". But if you know exactly what you want in a car, this is exactly what it's intended to be. And that is a great thing.
Very Nice Review Joe!!!!! I Totally Love The Brand - New 22' Lexus ES350 Through.
My 1999 ls400 with Over 250k miles runs like a new car. Selling it and will be looking forward to buying the ES 350 f sport. Lexus quality.
Update: I bought the es350 fsport on 2/12/2022 and loving it. Great car for long term
This was one hell of a review great job you made me want to upgrade my es to a newer one
This dude is hilarious 😂 I had to sub
I miss my 2002 ES, so many good memories in that car
Great review… wife owns a 2019 white (black interior), es350 f-sport. Wrapped the chrome window trim and roof in gloss black. Took out the wheel gap with RS-R lowering springs… nice stance now. She loves it!
A picture is worth a thousands words. Lol. We want to see it.
I just bought one! I’m picking it up tomorrow! So excited!
Love the way you drive...such smooth moves.
Nice POV driving test!
it's a great car! I love how it handles and the technology updates
The key actually does have remote start. You press the lock button 3 times and hold it on the 3rd click.
Thanks for bringing us the 2022 ES
My mom is going to order one this week, though not an F Sport. I’m binging all 2022 ES content as a result. We’ve been thinking she needed a new car due to a few reasons so she’s selling a 2012 Volvo XC70 that’s been nothing but solid for her. She did sit in an F Sport and immediately identified being uncomfortable with the highly bolstered seats. I think the car she’ll get is going to be a great car for her and it’ll be her first Lexus. After a string of Volvos and BMWs through the years since 1982, and to varying degrees of satisfaction, I’m hopeful that the entire experience of owning this car is a highly pleasant one. Thanks for the review, Joe. You cracked me up with the Warrant reference. You bring me back, man!
Thank you very much for professional detailed review!
You are so very welcome.
Great review and I would love to see a review comparing hybrid to nonhybrid version in terms of handling, power performance, MPG.
Since the GS is discontinued, they should bump up the horsepower for the FSport and make it AWD.
Agreed 💯
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Not feasible on this generation. There's not enough room under its platform for both the V6 and the AWD transfer case. The next-gen ES in '25 will have AWD and more horsepower, although no V6 anymore in any model.
I love it my boy Joe keep up the work and I love the video lot real true 💯 👍 💯💯💯
Clearwater Lexus baby, my home turf! Love you Mr Raiti
You have the best reviews! Love them!
I’m still waiting for the price of the 2019 to go down 😁,I’m back on forth between es350,Avalon touring,stinger,g80,k900,2.0 accord touring in the use market 2019-2020!
Get the 2019 ES.
Stinger gt2 you wont regret it!
This is the King of sedans, pound for pound. Don't squeeze a better 0-60 time out of that magnificent V6 just let Lexus keep all of its soul and stay the very best at what it does best.
Sometimes love comes slowly and I think I could grow to love it. Lexus is always a slow lover. The longer you own one, the more and more you love it. I typically don't like black wheels but I agree this is tasteful with the silver paint. And thank you Lexus for not painting the calipers red. So sick of that fad in sports cars.
Love the design very luxurious nice interior
I love the colors for sure!
Lexus still means luxury with sport 🏁 👍
They do a pretty good job at the balance.
Great review, Joe. I wished it had these features:
1. 360 degree camera
2. Digital controls for heat/AC for rear seat passengers
3. More horsepower and torque
4. All wheel drive
5. Massaging seats
My '21 Audi A6 has #1, 2, 3, and 4. It is also more sporty-looking. I get it that people who buy a Lexus are looking for reliability in a luxury sedan. Since the GS was discontinued, folks like me looking for a sedan are "looking" at the ES. However, I do not think I will be switching to a Lexus anytime soon.
Thanks for that great list of points Mike.
Well despite the fact those things would make it a more "suped up" ride, you're missing the fact that they're giving us a naturally aspirated V6 engine with over 300hp, long term reliability, and lower depreciation than any of the vehicles you target for the features you mentioned above. Lexus is not competing as a race car, it's competing as a premium car.
@@MikeyBadabingBadaboom The ES is still a boring looking car, IMO.
@@MikeBlue77 not everything is about looks,. People who value, reliability and best resale value would get the Lexus despite not being the best looking vehicle in it's class.
@@Mrmanbirsandhu I never said it is all about looks.
With the cancellation of the Toyota Avalon, I expect the sale of these ES models to jump considerably. Priced right for good value in this class.
Great video I have Lexus LS 430 2003 never had a problem now it was time to buy ES 2022 call eight
An AWD system (with the V6, not a four-banger) away from greatness
This settles for extra goodness. A compromise, to stay off the Lexus LS' toes
I totally agree with you! If this had just a little more performance it would be great!
It doesn't really need awd, you're not supposed to be flooring this car, that isn't what this car is about
@@dude-yg9ez It actually loses traction really easily with FWD though. More so than other FWD cars, which here in the NW where it rains a lot (i.e., more opportunities to more easily break traction on slick roads) is a deal breaker. I think it's begging the question to suggest that you're not "supposed to be flooring" this car. Sometimes you gotta goose it.
@@svalbard01
If you have the right tires. Wouldn’t have those issues.
@@HOTPLATEGAMING which tires would you suggest?
My wife already told me to buy her that one!!! I really loved it!! Thank you guys for the great job and information! Simplemente los mejores!!! Siempre los imitan mas nunca los superan!!!!
Great review as always
What does ES stand for? Executive Sedan?
Think so
Yessir
Good review! Subscribed
Thanks Bin for joining the Raiti's Rides family!
I want to see the dashboard at night on luxury vehicles if you can add that to your presentation! I love your style, thank you
LEXUS = LUXURY & RELIABILITY 👍
I love my 2013 Lexus ES350. Probably the smoothest and most comfortable car I’ve ever driven. Not sporty but comfortable.
Could you do a review for the 2022 ES 250 please 🙏. Your reviews are so much helpful.
I went to car show yesterday and seen this in person 🔥 white with the red interior don’t even get me started on that center console man😂😂😂😂😂 I was about to pull a fast and furious
You are hilarious!
For $37,000 you can get a Camry 2021 with all these features PLUS full panoramic sunroof and a much greater MPG using the same V6
And the Camry has folding seats, whereas the ES doesn't.
Thought this one was an AWD ES350 F SPORT but really to me i would give it a ❤
I am glad that you like this one.
Out of all the bands he could have said he chose Warrant. Love it!😂
Thanks Andrew! Remember the Cherry Pie video?
@@SUPASLY75 Wrong person and band.
Did you hear about the 2022 Integra 😀🤯 can't wait for you to do a review on that car cause it might be one of my future cars to own.
I've owned German cars and Japanese cars, primarily. I sold off my last German car in 2004 and never went back. I prefer reliability and serenity. Lexus is still the king of those 2 preferred qualities.
