My previous experience with an ES350 loaner was not good. I thought the low speed ride was stiff and a bit noisy. I was also not impressed with the luxury (or lack of it) in the interior. Today I got another ES350 while my car is in for service. This car rides very nice and is very quiet around town. This time I checked the tires and they are Michelin Primacy MXV4 in 215X55 size on 17" wheels. This is the same size as on my 2008 ES350UL which I loved. Unfortunately, the interior had the same faults as before plus this one had Nuluxe (sp?) seats which i did not like.

Really, I thought the ES350 had a very soft ride. There are these train tracks I have to go over everyday pretty close to my house. You can barely notice you are going over them with ES350.

Depends on what you're used to. My previous car was a Maxima, which was pretty stiff. And when my ES had 18s, to me, it rode soft like an old caddy.

If I drove a Maxima again I'd probably be overwhelmed by how stiff it is.
