If you want a comfy sedan, the ES350 is the best. If you want a sporty sedan, the IS. A sport mid-size sedan, the GS. Lexus has everything you need, tbh.
I learned from my son that if the L in Lexus on the steering wheel doesn't sit level , that there could be alignment issues. This one doesn't, unless the wheels are turned. I guess it is.
Hey Cameron. I actually don't understand why Toyota continues to have this button blanks on a 48k car. Wow. I don't even have those in my 16 Camry XLE Hybrid which costs a lot less. I don't see paying this much for this vehicle. Great Review By the Way!
although lexus reliability is great compared to its German and other Japanese luxury rivals, it has a lot of quirky design cues that hold it back from really being considered a fierce competitor. For starters lexus needs to improve the cabin and dash layout of its IS and ES models as they are inconvenient (ex. cup holder placement). Also for this model they should have gone with fully digital gauges as the ones shown here remind me too much of the camry.
It’s 2020 and Lexus IS still using that map that doesn’t include 3D buildings.....who the Ef needs to see a any building on a map?? Has a paper map ever ever ever ever include 3D buildings??? As long as it includes roads, I’m fine with it.
I've always liked the ES, but in the back of my mind I'm hearing "It's a gussied-up Camry V6". Let's face it, it looks A LOT like a Camry on the outside. Lexus needs to differentiate the exterior from the Camry a lot more in the future. That certainly makes it seem a lot less special and a lesser value for the money. When you compare it to a comparable MB or BMW though, it's much better value for money. I'd be more curious to know how this compares to a larger, cheaper Toyota Avalon.
palebeachbum couldn't agree with you more. I've always liked the ES models throughout the years. Bang for your buck kind of car, but the aesthetics are just so bland. I'm not looking for sporty or "sexy" by any means, but something to differentiate itself from the Camry. They just look so similar to each other that I don't feel as inclined to buy one. It doesn't ooze luxury like the IS or GS even, nonetheless the Audis and Mercedes of the world. I almost feel like the Avalon would be a better purchase.
I have a 2010 ES & I never looked back. I'll take bland & dependability over bells & whistles any day. I've always thought the ES more resembles the Avalon (especially since '13) than the Camry. These cars are incredibly reliable as opposed to Mercedes/Audi/BMW/Infinity. I cannot see myself owning any other model vehicle for the rest of my years.Then again, I never buy new so I can still get that dependability yet save mucho $$. As for those modern grills, OUCH they are fugly!!
If this my first review of this car, this would have turned me off completely. You sound like this is a piece of shit car...can't you pretend to be excited about it?

Which one is faster?
Lexus steering wheels are so unbelievably sexy I love it
Loving all of these Lexus videos lately!
Very nice review cameron i currently have one and its driving great
I have a 2017 in atomic silver with parchment interior. Beautiful ride!!
Nice detailed review as always Cameron does! Some day I'll switch over to ES 350 from my daily driver 15 Acura TLX.
i wish they kept the interior layout the same for the current year ES 350s i love that deep in screen
Cameron, please do a review of the 2017 Lexus RC-F. Thanks!
Great review!
Bad people keep stealing the knobs 😡
I really like this car, I swear if I good credit I would get it right now
Why is your shifter broken?
V nice and comfortable car.

Missing shift knob?

not top of the line, missing passenger memory seat, missing mark levinson, missing driver thigh extender
How do you compare a Buick to a Lexus? LOL. Come on man,,,..You can't be serious.
I was saying the same thing 😂
Have you guys seen the new bucks? Their quite immaculate inside

missing the shift knob
That center dash screen looks way too small. Kinda sad since the IS got an upgrade and RX has a massive 12 inch screen.
Ace Are u watching the screen or the road???
We have this model and it's just fine. We rarely use the system since there are buttons that work everything you mainly use.
The shift knob has been removed for security reasons but u can still put the car in drive and reverse lol. Good review anyways
Possibly a “customer” stole the knob after the test drive.
Beautiful
The blanking plugs on the left side of the dash are low class.
This NOT a review. You didn't even drive the car. It is simply a commercial for the car.
The front grill looks horrible. Hope Lexus improves the front grill and
make it more sleek and upgrade the aesthetics of the car.
Not enough Hand on info with showing you how to use the info and gouges explain more
who is the blind person that designed and approved that grill
marclaaq. TOKUO FUKUICHI is the designer responsible for that grille.
Isn't this supposed to be the Lexus counterpart of the Toyota Corolla?
Alex The tech dude Toyota Camry
Incorrect, it's the Toyota Avalon
Camerons Car Reviews what’s better this or the Avalon?
Can you please review your grand uncles 1997 bmw?

Funny thing is you can get a used Lexus ES350 cheaper than a Camry V6 nowadays. And the ES is much easier to find in good shape
The infotainment system is horridly outdated.
Toyota is #1

Why is this being compare to the garbage American cars. This competes with Germans.
