We are on the fence of a Rx vs Es. We have a 2004 Rx that we live but time for a new car. Can't decide between these two (have one kid who is 6). Both have ample space. Did others cross shop these two?

I have two kids, 2 and 8.
In the last 3 years I went from an RX300, to an ES330, to my curent RX350. Both RXs=AWD, I live in the northeast and the FWD didn't quite cut it for me.
Are you shopping for brand-new/ year or two old?
I wouldn't go for an ES unless it was a '13 or newer (latest gen); the 07-12 IMO is bland, and if you're okay with FWD only.
I personally love my 3RX, styling, power, handling, perfect ride height, plenty of cargo space.

I would recommend you at least test drive the ES and ask for one with the ultra luxury package. It cost more but definitely worth it. Even with the upgrade its about 10K cheaper than a new RX.

Had a 2013 ES - nice vehicle, but sat way too close to the ground. Difficult getting in and out of. But the worse of all, parking lots/garages. I scraped the underneath of the front bumper more times on those concrete rectangular blocks at the front of spaces because the bumper sat so low. Made me trade the ES in for another RX. I couldn't be happier.
