The2024 Lexus ES 350 is known as a luxury midsize sedan that's been a consistent part of Lexus's lineup, offering a blend of comfort, refinement, and reliability.
But here’s my question to you is it worth 49,000 to get the F sport performance and handling because for that price you can get for a few thousand more a premium luxury model but I’m leaning towards the F sport performance and handling engineering background They have all wheel drive for the S when Toyota Camry comes out with all-wheel-drive then they’re going to have all-wheel-drive for the ES
Im one of those weirdos that loves to look closely at cars n the details of cars when im walking into a store or a parking lot of cars, i look at the intricate details, creases, stamps, headlight designs, fit, finish, paint quality, etc. Mostly Japanese cars like mazda, Hyundai, lexus, toyota, etc are top notch. Especially lexus. You can literally see the quality in their vehicles. I even wonder how lexus picks the naterials n the very thorough testing they put each part through to ensure they will last decades n hundreds of thousands of miles down the road n the very vigorous testing they put their cars through
The knobs above the steering wheel kinda piss me off for some reason, lol. Also, it was incredibly lame to remove the CD player. Regardless, this will be my next car. Thanks for the awesome review!
I wish they will eventually add all-wheel-drive to the ES 350 they have all wheel drive for the 250. Engineering background although the F sport performance and handling won’t turn your ES into a Maserati or a Porsche, it will have a sporty/ look and feel, it won’t feel as momundane as a base ES. You can either get more luxury or more sporty feel. I prefer the sporty feel. I am also holding out hoping in 2025, they come with AWD. If they come out with AWD for the Camry, they have to come out with AWD for the ES. Only regrets is yes V6 3.5 but no AW I still prefer this over any other luxury midsize sedan because at least you can put 87 in this one whereas you have to put 91 high octane gas in the other luxury .sedans. I just am waiting g for one day for them to come worn and I like the 302 HOURS and 0-60 in 6.6 seconds send 267 lb of torque and 8 speed auto and 35 combined is decent. I line the silver as well O do potent he sport mode India the sport mode on the F sport
Last year, I almost signed paperwork for the 2023 model. The sales guy was not happy. Ended up going with the C300 Benz. Will they ever make the ES 350 with all-wheel drive? That was one of the big reasons why I changed my mind.
I’m thinking you meant to compare is to es in your question. I would take the bigger body any day over the IS. I think the IS is way to compact and small which takes away from comfort a whole lot.
I want to upgrade so badly, but Lexus is coming up short . No flat bottom steering wheel ? No pano roof ? No painted calipers? And still, the outdated chrome window trim with even the black out package . I wish they would offer different seatbelt colors, maybe some interior carbon fiber too.
@@coolme241 Right and I have on the Lexus I own now. Infact i was ready for a new car 4 years ago and keep hoping each year they will modernize their models . Instead i had my top painted black , all emblems and front grill painted black and added some black and chrome rims with 20 inch tired , it felt like I was in a new car .. but I'm over it now , I want a new car and Lexus just isn't coming through for me . When our Son turned 16 we bought him the 2020 IS350 , he is now 20 and trade it in for 2020 Hellcat ..
I own an ES 350... and I still cannot understand the ES 350 F Sport trim line. If you want a sporty sedan in this class you should be looking at an Acura, Audi or BMW. The F Sport is NOT sporty and cannot compete in that category... and the F Sport suspension RUINS why you bought a Lexus in the first place. Smooth and quiet and a relative bargain in it's class.
Not at all. Lexus has a way more luxurious interior. Of course. Some buttons may look similar because their both made by Toyota but Lexus has way more features and soft trim interior.
I have a 2022 F Sport that I bought new. I didn’t consider a hybrid because they are slow and have a CVT transmission. But it must be nice to be able to enjoy the gas mileage they provide.
@@VagabondBuilds because if I’m spending 60K on a car, I want performance. I don’t want a slow luxury car. The Hybrids have very low horsepower. Also, they have a CVT transmission. I’m not knocking CVTs. I’ve had 2 cars with a CVT and had no complaints. They are just weaker transmissions compared to traditional automatics.
@@VagabondBuilds I think ES has more updates for the value, although I do prefer getting in and out of a SUV. We have the Rx already. Tough decisions. I have to sit and drive in both. The GXs are discounted like $4,000-$5,000 below MSRP by me.

Have had a 24' 350 f sport handling for a month. Been a great car!! Excellent tech and features.
Thanks for the heads up! Was the video helpful at all ?
Love that they made it look like the GS350 but they need an AWD V6
Yea! It’s more sporty looking honestly!
@@VagabondBuildsyea it is! I got a GS350 but if I ever had to replace my car it would probably be a IS350 F Sport AWD or a Toyota GR86
I don’t. I’m in California, lol.
@@iishyxvietxboyii1 California sucks though lol. You need to get out of that state.
@@GokuInstinct1 I love it here.
This is the best interior review of the car. Finally found what I was looking for. Thanjd
Glad we can help!!!

I have to say that I agree with you on the reliability and the product they put out.
I’ll definitely take this over any E Class
What’s the exact reasons?
@@VagabondBuilds for the same reasons people are buying E Classes
The knobs above the steering wheel kinda piss me off for some reason, lol. Also, it was incredibly lame to remove the CD player. Regardless, this will be my next car. Thanks for the awesome review!
Hahaha that’s funny ! Hopefully those knobs grow on u lol
Black rims are getting to be played out in my opinion. Bring back silver alloy rims
I agree. I was never a black rim fan
I do they look amazing but the alloys look good too tbh.
Bring back GS
I know. But you don’t think that this looks like the GS?
I’m debating between ES350 F sport and ES300h F sport. What’s your suggestion?
If you don’t care about gas…. The f sport all the way 😄
Get the 350.
350 has smooth power
Oh, did you just say bumper sensors for the adaptive cruise control, distance button?
I don’t know actually, but I know I do make mistakes lol haha sorry if it was a mistake!

Have to agree with the 87 part haha.
this car can get 300k-500k miles and thats a fact!!
A car that could withstand a zombie 🧟♂️ apocalypse
Haha haha 😂 hood one!
whats the difference between the es 350 fsport and the es350 do they need premium gas and do they come with navigation and leather?
Same gas needed. Navigation you have to opt in for. You will get leather in the higher trim in es350. So fsport comes with the semi aniline trim.
are they makin a is500 for this comingyear
Yes they will
Last year, I almost signed paperwork for the 2023 model. The sales guy was not happy. Ended up going with the C300 Benz. Will they ever make the ES 350 with all-wheel drive? That was one of the big reasons why I changed my mind.
Mercedes over Lexus? Hmmm. Interesting choice. I would feel like it’s 2 different types of buyers.
Lexus IS best
lease MCB and buy Lexus
I just wish the headlights housing were just like the ones on the IS, that would make it perfect. These ones don’t look as slick in my opinion
Thanks for the input!
what was that thing that flashed in the storage at 10:11 ??
I’m not getting it. Don’t see anything flashing at 10:11
@@VagabondBuilds in that storage cubby to the right side of your hand. Like there is something inside the cubby for a split second
Whats the difference with the 2023?
Nothing much different honestly. Different trim level added along with looks on the rims. But overall the same.
What about the 2019 bro?
Is 350f sport better than is350?
I know IS is faster but I’m just talking about road feel. I like bigger cars IS seems small to me on the inside
I’m thinking you meant to compare is to es in your question. I would take the bigger body any day over the IS. I think the IS is way to compact and small which takes away from comfort a whole lot.

But that reliability though haha
Besides the roof you can add all that your self.

No redesign. Same as the 2023
Redesigned ?
No. I didn’t mean to say that.

Thank you!
Reviewer’s hair was almost touching the ceiling while sitting in the back. How tall is he?
I believe I mentioned it in the video. I’m right under 6ft 2in
Sorry I guess I missed that. Thanks.

Thanks for the perspective. Hopefully we can have others use this. But the f sport is pretty nice I have to say.

Yes, that’s what I meant to say.
interior feel like a corolla
I mean I wouldn’t say that.. two different cars….

I’m having though time deciding between v6 es350 vs 2023 gx460. Already have 22 RX350 v6
I mean, you looking for sedan or suv… that’s just what it comes down to it.

Es 350 is fun to drive I had a ball with my loner lol
Really not much different than the 23 except $!
Yea. Hopefully it was a help!
Yep. Identical to 2023.
@@johnconnors5123is that facts?
what changed..😂
Nothing. Lol
Added new trim I believe and some new rims haha
