Default This is how I feel about me 2007 ES350

I really like the "feel" of my ES. Sitting in the driver's seat fits me to a T. My gaze covers all of the controls I need and desire to safely and swiftly take me to my destination.

The ES, whether using the shift or automatic mode, flys onto freeways and allows for immediate and very quick accleration.

The comfort of the ride is excellent. I had to get used to the handling coming from a rear wheel high performance car. But, now after so many miles, I am used to the steering and cornering and feel confident in maneuvering my Lexus around any obsticle that I might encounter.

I have had a difficult time mastering the Nav and Telephone system. Those in my former cars were much more intuitive to learn and use.

My two major complaints about these systems are that once moving, I cannot add to or change the navigation system. Lastly, although the Bluetooth arrangement works bettter in my Lexus than it did in any of my other cars, I find the complexity of it to be a pain in the neck.

Both my wife and I feel that our choice in buying the ES350 was a good one. We like its style, luxurious ambiance and ride.

For the money, we think it is TOPS!

Carbuff,
It is good to hear of others who are more than pleased with the ES. When I first joined this site, there was so much negativity towards the ES that I was really considering not purchasing one. I'm glad I didn't let others opinion sway my decision. The ES is, without a doubt, the best car we have ever purchased.

I agree that it is a fine piece of machinery. I am coming up to the 5K service and other than maintenance and setting my personalized settings, I am trying hard to think of items for the service dept to look at.
