AlexNY, you might consider test driving a 2019 ES350. It's cabin is very well insulated from engine noise and vibration. Both its handling and ride comfort (especially the 17" wheel & tire versions) are very noiticably improved compared to your 2015 ES.

Agreed, lots of good changes in the 2019.

We took a 2019 ES for a test drive and it definitely felt more solid than our 2015, but the ride comfort and noise levels didn’t seem markedly improved. The 2019 was a base level hybrid with 17” wheels. Our 2015 hybrid also has 17” wheels so I would think the comparison is about as close as possible. Our drive wasn’t really extensive enough to have any opinion on the handling.

Now there's gotta be more to that story. Who on earth gets a loaner and ends up putting 9K miles on the thing?

And I happened to have a heavier than normal work load during those two months.
I usually put 30k-40k miles per year on my DD. I have had my 2017 ES in service for 9 months and I have 30k miles on it already.
