Need Input For 22 ES350 Ultra Luxury
Hi Guys,
My name is AJ.
I get weekly press cars for review. (The Car Review Guys)
I do my best to consider owners opinions for my videos within reason.
I have a 22 ES350 Ultra Luxury this week.
My next videos are:
5 things to improve
5 things to Love
Would love to get some input from you all on these topics.

I have the 22 ES300h so a bit different than your subject.
Love the heads up display.
Love the new computer screen - very clear and very useful.
Love the hybrid power supply diagram on the computer display i.e. engine, battery etc.
Love the Brake Hold - use it all of the time
Love fully automatic the heater / A/C - located in Canada so automatic heating steering wheel and seats arer great.
Don't like the programming on the Brake Hold - it should stay on until I release it.
Don't like the coffee holders - very limited and I fight with the passenger all the time as to who gets which one.
Don't like the low clearance of the vehicle - great in the city but I live in rural so the gravel is really hard on the undercarriage.
Don't like the challanges of lift the vehicle - floor jack barely reaches the rear lift point.
Don't like messages from the car all the time - when its in the garage I get the doors are unlocked or windows are open. The garage is locked.

Have a '22 ES Ultra Luxury.
Love:
The utter smoothness and super-absorbent ride.
The room and comfort.
The terrific build quality and expected reliability.
The excellence of the Levinson stereo and the triple beam headlights.
The decent MPG with regular gas in a big, powerful car.
Don't like:
The lousy accelerative traction and understeer of FWD. They should have offered AWD with the V6.
Lack of seat padding; the seats are well shaped and adjustable, but needlessly stiff.
Stupid black paint that makes the real wood trim look like it might as well have been cheap plastic.
Some cheapouts of trim in the interior and trunk.
The stupid touchpad and useless phone charger taking up valuable console space.

I have a '22 ES Ultra Luxury
Love:
Triple Beam headlights (adds an aggressive look)
Power open/close trunk with kick sensor
Needs improvement:
Get rid of the Franken-*****
Improve wind noise at highway speeds
Could use more storage space for the driver and front passenger
Love:
- Panoramic view monitor
- Mark Levinson sound system (sounds exceptional, especially with high-quality audio sources)
- Head-up Display
- Quick acceleration and responsiveness. Composed ride
- Visually appealing aesthetic (may be a bit polarizing)
Triple Beam headlights (adds an aggressive look)
Power open/close trunk with kick sensor
Needs improvement:
- Rear seats don't fold down
- All-wheel drive isn't available for the 350
- Seat comfort and position (could use more padding/cushion) Sits very low to the ground
- Wireless charger (will not charge iPhone with nearly any case. The location is awkward and takes up too much space) The location was moved for the 2023 model so time will tell.
- Trackpad can be cumbersome and fickle (The trackpad has been discontinued in the 2023 model)

i'm not sure what the policy is on commercial posts but you should check with the admin first seeing as you have a new account. the board is geared towards actual owners

Are you kidding? We all like sharing our opinions about our cars. I can’t imagine this being a problem.

he's using the forum solely for promotion & marketing. it's not genuine.
it's a copy paste from other forums. i found just with 10 seconds of googling 4-5 other instances on car forums where he copied pasted the above post. just replace "ES" with (insert brand/ model here)
he does 1-2 posts on other forums then leaves forever.
i'm not the type that falls for this kind of stuff...

May be other people or channels that do that. Not me. I gave the guy my response.

yeah and if he even took time to watch my other videos I really use owners inputs to help voice opinions. Obviously with me not owning the car I have certain limitations on what I can say.
