It is what it is. I drive about 80-100 miles a day in California to commute to work and back. I'm compensated very well and I knew what I was getting into when choosing the ES300H as a commute vehicle. I have no regrets. I actually look forward to my commute now! I'm happy and relaxed when commuting. That adds great value to my life.

All is well my friends!

Some days I do the same amount of driving and my commute has become more comfortable, relaxing, and enjoyable. Not visiting the pump twice a week is a huge huge bonus too. Loving my 300h as a daily.

Installed this carbon fiber center console overlay, looks much better than that bamboo wood.

The installation looks good but it’s not my cup of tea.

It's not my cup of tea, but the installation looks good. Glad you're enjoying it.

I hate wood in cars but mine is an FSport which is always sans wood. This looks good but I'm not a huge fan of this after market stuff.

Yeah it has to be done right. usually the rubber/plastic is thick and it pops out visually and doesn't fit/align etc.

I don't mind wood when it's a classy car.
