Default Just picked up an ES 350 , this car is Incredible!

Hey, i just picked up a new 2019 ES 350, this is my fourth Lexus and second ES, but this new model is on another level. I drove it about 50 miles home , and i have never driven a more comfortable and well mannered car before.

My previous vehicles were a 2016 Lexus GS 350 , 2016 Lexus ES 350 and 2017 Lexus RC 350. My friends call me Mr. Negative Equity but hey who cares right. After having lots of experience in the Lexus brand , i believe they really hit it out of the park with the ES. I can only imagine how incredible the LS is which the ES is based on.

With the Lane Tracing system , the car virtually drives itself on the highway with very little to no input from the driver. The cabin is extremely well insulated, you really can barely hear anything. And the 302 hp 6 cylinder is smoother and more powerful than ever. You cannot feel any gear changes what so ever.

If anyone is in the market for the ES , dont think twice and get it , you wont be disappointed.

I personally think the F Sport trim on the ES takes away from its elegant luxurious look.

Of course it's all personal preference. For me it was FSport or nothing.

Ultra white with black interior. The Ultra white is a bit brighter than the white pearl on yours. Our RX is white pearl and when they are parked next to each other, the difference is quite noticeable. Both nice colors.

I know the pearl is a not easy to match when you get a scratch or damage but i always liked the pearl color and dont want to think of the negatives.

The Pearl White is beautiful. I also worried about my Atomic Silver for repairs but WTH, get the color you want and worry about scratches and dings later. Just be careful where you park...
GOOD LUCK with the new wheels, you will enjoy the ride...

When you step on the gas from approx 30-35 mph, you will definitely feel a harsh downshift. It surprised me when it first happened. Otherwise, I'm lovin' it!

Nice car! The transmission sucks if you try to drive aggressively with the harsh downshifts and some shift delays too. The car is noticeably less quick from 0-60 than the previous models. I can feel the seat extender rail under my a$$ is another *****. But the looks of the car and the compliments and overall smoothness and ergonomics make it all worthwhile.

Sport mode solves that. No seat issues in the FSport model.
