    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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!

    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:

    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.
