I have been trying to decide what I like the best about the new ES.
Hmmmm.....
It's got to be the way the wheels look as it is going down the road.....I'm a wheel freak

The glass panoramic roof, the soft leather, the push button start, and the ML audio system.

The ML stereo and panorama roof.

Keyless entry and push button start. Both are very convenient. Next would be the 30+ mpg in most highway driving situations other than high speed runs.

There are too many favorite features: push button start / keyless entry, backup camera, parking assist, directional HIDs.

MD350

All of the above are mine too

love_lexus

Backup camera, Adaptive HID, ML audio, keyless entry, start button, rear window shader, rain sensing wiper.

My favourite feature is not ES-350 specific.
It's the air re-circ feature.
I had it on my previous Camry and fell in love with it. I use it all the time.

I'm still learning some ins and outs with it as time goes by, but it remains my number one feature.

Yeah I know, I 'm a bit weird.

NoiseFree, I still crack up when I hear you complaint about the air circulation. Mine does it too, but not all the time. I don't really know when the car will automatic switch to the fresh air. But doesn't bother me at all.

My favorites are: The NAV system now that I can use the touch screen to enter both destination addresses and POIs while the car is moving and the Mark Levinson Audio system now that I can scroll the entire list of the 200+ song titles on a single CD, using the touch screen, while the car is moving. It is also posible to use the touch screen for the Bluetooth while the car is moving.

Yeah the "air-recirc feature" is a bit mysterious, to say the least.
Not very well-documented in the manual.
But I have discovered a couple of new things with it recently (I should post them on the air-recirc thread but I'll mention one that I remember now).

When the temp is around or below freezing, and you hit the 'Auto air-recirc' button, the A/C won't turn on.
When the temp is above freezing, and you hit the 'Auto air-recirc' button, the A/C turns on automatically, you have no control in this.

Also the recirc button 'behaves' a lot better when the temps are above freezing. For the most-part I can now get it to stay in re-circ mode for as long as I like. And it remembers its last setting (on/off/auto) when the car is re-started! Amazing!

I'm gonna have to get with you and see if you can "walk" me thru the procedure.

The "learning" transmission.


Flame away, Bob!
