This was a gift to my wife. She has driven a Lexus since the ES300 in 1995. Then the 330 and a 2013 ES 350. We kept each car for ten years. This edition of the ES350 is a delight to drive. The ride is smooth and even and the technology is easy to understand even for us older folk. The trim is also beautiful and well designed. Couldn’t be more pleased. My wife still test drove a Mercedes Benz EClass and a BMW but preferred the Lexus. Great car at less price than the Benz.

Best Luxury Sedan for the Price

If you compare the Lexus ES to other midsize luxury cars, it is hands down the best value for the money. Lots of people says it's only a fancy Camry, but that's a good thing because the hybrid and naturally aspirated engines in these cars will last forever, unlike turbos that take only premium gas. We went with the ES350 after comparing it to other midsize luxury cars (BMW, Mercedes, Acura) that were consistently low 50k to high 60k. With rebates we were well under 50k. In fact, we got our Lexus for about the same price as a Toyota Highlander XLE. It's quiet and produces an exceptionally comfortable ride. Not to mention, it is one of the safest sedans you can buy according to NHTSA and IIHS crash test scores.

I test drove a BMW 330, and Audi A4, Acura TLX, Camry XLE, and a 2.0 liter Accord. All but the Camry were more engaging to drive. Several had better acceleration. Why did I buy the ES350? It's a fast, quiet couch, and serves as a happy compromise in areas in which the other cars were lacking. Audi, BMW, and Honda had less than comfortable seats for long drives. Acura's interior was all over the place. The Camry was just too beige. The ES has a great layout, accelerates adequately, is quiet and reasonably comfortable for the price. Yeah, the base stereo is kind of lackluster, but it's not awful. Having driven multiple competitors, I'm quite happy so far.

50-plus MPG in town for last four tankfuls

Bought new in January. 16,000-plus miles now. Regularly get 50 mpg in city, 45 mpg on long trips. Comfortable to drive, quiet, smooth riding. Reviews I've read say that it's bulletproof mechanically. I sure hope that's true because we plan to keep this one a long time. Usually trade at about 80,000 miles but we may keep this one longer. Would I recommend a Lexus ES 300 hybrid to a friend. ABSOLUTELY!
