2IS member checking in.
Yesterday i had my first ride in an ES taxi, i was sitting in the back, so i cant really comment on the driving aspect of the car, but as a chaueffered car? all i can say is WOW.
Maybe my impressions were so low to begin with, but man is this car comfortable. I used to bag ont he ES as an over glorified camry, and I would never recommend anyone to buy. Id always tell them to save their money and get a camry or even an avalon.
The leather and cushioning on the ES, is much more comfortable than the IS, and maybe even the GS(?). Now i know why you guys bought. Lexus rules.
Personnaly i still wouldnt buy it (the front wheel drive kills me) but i have a new found respect for this car.![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

I have no idea where DXB/AD is, but if you ever drive in snowy, icy conditions you will come to really appreciate the benefits of front wheel drive.
But, thanks for the cudos!

That's nice that you have a new found respect for the ES. Yes, it's a good car in it's own right. Lexus does sell a ton of them. The ES has outlived the Infiniti I. The ES can only get better, hopefully a hybrid version comes here soon...

And man are those things comfortable, an ES hybrid will b awesome, comfortable as well as silent and fuel efficient.
