That's good to hear...motivates me to go and take a test drive. I really like the dash of the ES as compared to the Avalon too.

Default seat cushion extender for ES hybrid

As a follow-up to this thread, can you get the hybrid model ESh with the front seat cushion extender? On the lexus web site, when you try to build a hybrid model, it does not allow you have the ultra luxury package--is that an error on the web site? thanks, BD

I've had my 2014 ES300h about 3 weeks now and absolutely love it. I do have the ultra luxury package with cushion length extender...basically every option except radar cruise.

Regarding the ride, it is very very smooth. As has been mentioned, any "softer" and it might verge on wallowy. It is very compliant and never harsh. I have also driven the ES350 with the 18" wheel/tire option and it is much less compliant the the 17" package on the 300h. Also, the ES is definitely tuned on of softer side as compared to the new Avalon.

I wonder if they will offer the larger sunroof with the hybrid model that is offered with the 350 series? I note you have RX models--how does the ride compare with the ES? thanks
