- 2013 Lexus ES 350 Review. In this review of the 2013 Lexus ES350, we see what makes this Lexus the best-used luxury car in the class. I have tried the previous-generation Lexus ES 350 and for 2013, this ES 350 got redesigned so it is a perfect opportunity to see what changed and why these changes make the 2013 ES so good in the used car market.

PA here and Carvana delivered my 2013 ES two weeks ago and everything you said is spot on. The cars runs buttery smooth, bumps are truly absorbed and the take off for passing vehicles on the highway is incredible. Mine is silver gray, had one owner with only 42k miles and it also has the mouse for navigation. Will easlily get ten years out of it. It's truly a beautiful car. Great vid.....stay safe.
My main man ✅
I just bought a 2015 ES 350, same color combo with the navigation 113,000 mi. I have owned a 2003 LS 430, 2007 LS 460 and 2016 GS 350 F Sport. I have also owned a 2006 Inifiti M35X, and a 2001 Acura TL. All were great cars. Nothing compares to this ES in BANG FOR THE BUCK! The ride is smooth as butter, quite and the most comfortable seats I have ever sat in , and the back seat has great leg room . Everything is within an arms reach and the interior was well thought out, no rattles, squeaks, or creaks. Class all the way. I love it every time I drive it. People can't believe it's almost 10 years old. The ES was meant to be a soft, cushy, cruiser, and comes with an engine that provides plently of power. I am getting 26-27 mpg avg so far, which is amazing, and runs on regular unleaded. I recommend this sedan over most other luxury models/brands for the money. If you don't have the need for AWD, go check this car out!
I purchased my 2015 Lexus ES350 Ultra Luxury back in Jan 2015 with only 3 miles on it. Had it custom ordered with every toy on it for that year. Flash forward to present day with 112200 miles, still love driving the car. Never had one bad experience with it. Maintained at its scheduled intervals, always babied & pampered. It rides excellent with minor vibration due to the rubber dampners and such but Texas heat will dry them out but all in all. Still rides and drives great.
I haven’t driven as ES since the 1992 ES300 that we had several years ago. They are great cars. Please keep the Lexus content coming. I really enjoyed this review and my questions were answered about this generation of ES.
Nice 👍 I would love to check out the 92 ES actually just hard to come by as no one likes to get rid of them haha.
I’m super humbled that you mentioned that, my whole goal with these car reviews is to have people’s doubts answered when it comes to the particular cars I review. I want people to walk away knowing to the best of their abilities what these cars are like.
Thanks again for stopping by and showing support my friend
its funny how when your looking for a certain car the "ES350" and see it on every corner, driving by
come home, heres a video, good work, I cant wait to get in one of these
I know the exactly the feeling you are talking about haha. When you have your eyes set on a vehicle you constantly see it on the road lol. Thanks so much for stopping by on this vid let me know when you get one!
I think these ES looks better than the new ones😀
Bought my 2013 ES350 w 40k miles on it. I've had it 4 months and it grows on me every time that I drive it. Your review is spot on. A great looking and fun car to drive.
Just purchased mine and I love it!! Your review helped me make my final decision, thank you!!!
Great review ! Thank you ! I recently bought one with 48K miles on it. I have been driving Avalons for over 10 years and the Lexus is a big step up in ride quality, quietness and a smooth ride. Its a joy to drive.
I just purchased a 2014 with 57k miles, I love it even more every time I drive it
How much you pay for it ??
@@mittumathew8686 18k
@@EdwardBliffin thank you ..which trim
@@mittumathew8686 I think just the base model..I'm happy with it because the actual Lexus dealer had the same exact car with 90k miles and wanted the same price...the issues with mine is, it had very faint scratches, but because it's silver, you can't see them unless you're very close
Have a 2017 ES 350...atomic silver with parchment interior...wonderful ride..has 36,700 miles on it...just broken in good!!
See these all the time...they still look good. Another great review man!!
Thanks so much my friend! Yea I really like these as well
No doubt. Love your vids!
I have a 08 es. What are your thoughts on upgrading to this model. Not looking for brand new just quality 😎
When you upgrade to this model you mostly get a better handling vehicle but actually your generation will ride a better and might be slightly quieter if not the same in terms of quietness. But yea handling and a cool interior design is what you mostly get if that’s the type of change you’re looking for
I just got a 2013 es with 33k miles on it. Couldn't be happier and watching your review makes me love it even more. Thank you man.
Massive congrats Ben! It truly is a great ride
I just bought a 2013 with 90k miles. Very impressive. Still drives like a brand new car
@@torydebold1192 I'm getting mine soon! Getting it delivered :)
I have a 2008 model and I love it. So smooth and has that nice v6 for easy overtakes.
I like the current model you are reviewing because the grill looks nice and it's a true evolution of the previous gen, but it doesn't go too crazy! Wish I could get the Nike LED DRL on my model though.
Any problems with it???
@@mercedesbenzs600bash So far all good minus the wheel bearing in the rear passenger that needs replacing.
@@MiguelRPD Yeah man all these cars really need is regular maintenance,I gotta get me one...
Good review my man. You are right, This vehicle does not look dated. Keep up the good work
Truly grateful for your support Moe! Yea I really like the design of this ride for sure!
Thanks for these reviews
Traded in my lease 2017 Tacoma and bought my 2013 Lexus ES 300H. 92k miles. It was in great shape. I’m in love with it. Super smooth and one of the most comfortable rides. Fuel is right around 36 MPG. Great review!
Congrats my friend! Awesome ride and thanks so much!
Crazy difference from the tacoma i bet for mpg
Another one! Great follow up to the 5th gen review! I drove a 2013 to compare to my 07', noticeably more responsive and confident in the corners but without losing that classic Lexus pedigree!
I agree Ben! And thanks so much for stopping by
Yes, I've been driving 2010 ES350 and 2009 Avalon both right at 100k miles, the Avalon handled much better. The 2014 ES350 was my favorite, but the seat killed my back after a week. Ended up having to sell it about 30 days later - very disappointing. No one could change out the seat for me and still have my airbags work.
I have a 2008 ES 350 and I love it. At 160k miles and still kicking. Still drives beautifully, has a ground sound system, rides smooth and can’t say no to the great engine. It is getting a bit up there and occasionally squeaks but as long as you maintain them they’ll last forever.
Nice! Yea those are amazing cars if you take care of them
Im lookin for a 2008 or 09 to add to my collection. Great vehicles!
Drove my old 2002 Camry XLE V6 with 320,000 km on the clock. Past it onto my daughter for the next 20 years. Loved the car so much I went to the next level 2015 Lexus ES 350 for my last car ever.
I like the updates the the exterior styling as well as the interior design.
I agree! Interior was def a nice step up here and exterior still looks brand new to most people
Love your reviews, thinking about getting an Es 350
Bruh, thanks a lot. Good Review! Looking to get one soon.
Hey thanks so much my friend for stopping by. Yea I think you will really like this car! Good luck
2013-2018 were one of the best
The interior is classy and can’t be beated
Only good thing about new ES are the display but other than that it’s ok
I’ve owned the 2013 ES300h since 2018, and it’s really an incredible car. So firmly planted on the road, so smooth, and very efficient. 600 mi range on a 17 gal tank if all highway miles. I average 36mpg mostly city driving. In winter it’s 33mpg due to battery chemistry.
Based in part on your review, I just bought one of these, with 40k miles. Feels and looks brand new. It's a big improvement over my previous beater, an 06 Toyota Solara with 165k miles.
Wow I'm so humbled I could help and massive congrats great car
@@MeynMotorGroup Thanks. With all that's going on, I expect to take delivery of it Thursday. I'll finish signing the paperwork tomorrow, and have the dealer drop it off. This will give me the freedom to start kitting out my '19 Ranger as a true overland vehicle without worrying about daily driving.
Just bought a 2013 ES350H in October !! Love it! Was worried when I saw 8.1 0-60😅🤧 but that’s an definitely underrated number, car has plenty of passing power & is silky smooth
Do you still have it? Is it a lot of money for maintenance cost?
@@deehkah8739 nah just oil changes
Just bought a 2013 with 66000 miles love it thanks for the review It was really helpful 👍
Oh wow massive congrats my friend super happy for you and I'm humbled I could be of help. Enjoy!
How much?
How much
Another great review bro thanx 👍🏾✌🏾
I appreciate that!
My name is willie and i purchased a 2013 es 350 resently. My first road trip was great even with 118k miles on it. 30-32 miles per/gallon. Smooth acceleration when get into middles lines. First owned sedan in 20 years. 😁😁😁😁
I just bought one and because of the pandemic I got a great deal. I'm having so much frigging fun with it. Feels like double the power of my old Camry and I really have to watch the speedometer to not get myself into trouble. It's getting surprisingly good fuel economy. Only the first tank of gas I've put in it but I'm averaging 8L/100km so far (mostly highway).
Congrats my friend
No clue how you got a good deal during the pandemic. Used car prices are jacked
@@dennisfinan7977 I was lucky enough to have been saving and bought in April 2020. Around the time everyone was freaking out and hording toilet paper. No one was buying cars then. The same car almost 2 years later is at least 5k more and supply is much lower.
@@ohurley11 when the first stimulus payments came out that's when they got jacked
About to check one out this weekend can't wait ! Coming from a 2015 Accord
Nice congrats!
I just bought this car from Carvana, waiting for it to arrive. Can't wait. Great review bro
Lol me too. Good luck
"The rigidity of this cabin is pretty stupendous" I have never heard anyone use rigidity or stupendous let alone the same sentence. Good work
I am honored thank you my friend for stopping by
@@MeynMotorGroup No prob! Got into Lexus a lot more after seeing some of your vids. Recently bought a 2015 ES 350, smooth as butter!
Oh wow massive congrats yes that's a great generation ES to get and just a nice luxury car in general. I know you will enjoy it for years to come. Take care!
Niiice, a different dealer got you the hook up this time!
Haha yea I’ve come here before but it’s only been like 2 months since I’ve been coming here first vid I did with them was the Red 2010 ES. Thanks again Michael for watching!
my all time fav car reviewer esp. with my fav car brand..LEXUS!
Great job bro: liked and subscribed!
Thanks for your support!
such a great review
Thank you so much my friend!
Exactly like mine but my interior is black. I baby it and many think my car is newer than 2013. They get shocked , it has 123k miles and runs like a champ
Just bought this today-good review-p
Massive congrats my friend!
Something to note, the es350 in this generation did not have double pane glass.
However, the GS350 during this same model year, did come equipped with double pane glass on all the doors.
Yea GS was quieter than this but this isn’t bad
It does have dual pane glass BUT it's very thin dual pane.
I just got mine and I love it
Nice review..what is better to isolate noise is or es?
Looking to buy a Lexus ES or GS as my first car and these videos are really helpful! Nice work
Thanks Frank glad they helped!
Either way you go you’ll love it! ES more of a gentleman cruiser and the GS more fun car. I’ve done a review on both 2015 models if you’re still looking Frank :)
I can appreciate your review.
Thank you!
I bought a 2016 ES 350 in 2016 with 26K miles on it. Now it has 118K miles on it. Great car. Very comfortable. Engine is great. Never feel like it is not enough power. Great MPG. My parking sensors went out. Dealer thinks a sensor was struck with a rock on the highway. $3K to fix. Nope, not doing that. I am hoping to get a 2015-2017 LS some day but last time I test drove them, the LS did not seem that much better to justify the cost. The ES 350 is that good.
Hows the maintenence on them? What services did u did when u have it?
Im worry cause i have 2013 lexus rx350 right now its 70k mileage,
@@boypanot1509 Routine maintenance,that's it,that vehicle you have I saw one with over 300,000 miles,LEXUS (TOYOTA) is the most RELIABLE and DURABLE,PERIOD..
MERCEDESBENZS600 BASH ok thank u.i dont need to wory now.yeah i usually change oil every 4 month ,i drove at 7000k miles a year.
I just change rear brake rotor and brake pad heheheh and cabin and air filter
@@boypanot1509 Yeah man you'll have that vehicle for a long time without any major problems,just keep enjoying it....
MERCEDESBENZS600 BASH lexus for life heheheh but yourname is mercedes
I like the older luxury cars because they had wood steering wheel and wood trim.
Yea I do like the wood steering wheels haha
That’s so true, the new one I reviewed has wood inserts on the steering wheel which looks awesome but doesn’t give you the feel of luxury wood on your grip.
How would this do in snow with ie: blizzaks, Colorado weather but is mostly sunny here or get the 2013 Rx350 ? Or 2017 outback ?
Great review! I have a 2014 and I absolutely love it.
Thanks so much yea it's an awesome ride for sure
Any problems with it????
MERCEDESBENZS600 BASH Nope, not at all. I had to get a new battery put in it for the first time a few months ago, and just other regular maintenance.
@@RandiMarie1111 Yeah I gotta get me one soon,LEXUS just makes GREAT vehicles....
MERCEDESBENZS600 BASH They really do. I’m not crazy about the way they’ve updated the grills in the past few years, but I can live with it.
Hey bro your reviews are great. Nothing annoying about your presentation style at all and you're quite informative. Hope you keep at it and your channel blows up with subs. Best of luck. Maybe have an intro for your channel at the beginning of each video, and ask ppl to sub if they like the content at the beginning & end of each clip?
Btw I've had a 2008 Lexus ES350 for a year now and your review on that car was 100% accurate. Amazing car
I'm super humbled by your kind words my friend! Def trying to add intros to more of my videos for sure. ES is an epic ride very underrated by the media but glad you the owners are loving it. Thanks again for supporting
@@MeynMotorGroup Thanks for the reply bro :) You've been gifted a down to earth and humble personality. Really hope your channel becomes very successful. I have no doubt over time it'll keep growing with more diverse car reviews.
Thanks again! I'm just honored to have supporters like you that appreciate my message. Glad you brought up diversity, I'm actually about to post 3 vids on driving Huracan, 488, and 570s on track through Xtreme Xperience so I'm going to try and give my pragmatic thoughts on these vehicles
@@MeynMotorGroup Looking forward to it!
Last year we got mom a 2013 & she loves it. Not a fan of that wide ass grill but u know these cars will still be on the road in 15 years.
Nice! That is awesome Scott. Lol 😂 yea many have expressed disgust for the grill but styling is subjective I suppose. Thanks so much sir for stopping by and watching!
Exhaust Sports Auto keep the reviews coming, love seeing the new tech though I expect to hold on to my 2010 for another 200K miles. 🙏
@@EnlightenedRogue Thank you my friend! And you def can haha I would not be surprised. Take care!
If you ever take an Uber in Dubai a few years ago it would always be a white Es350 that would pick you up. Some of those cars have 700k miles on them and I remember how silently the car would waft along sheikh Zayed Road.
i remember smobbing around in my highschool buddies ES300 99'
that car was QUICK.... and pretty much sold me on Lexus./// now im thinking to either get this or a GS350 ?
Hello should I get the Ls460 (I’ve seen your other videos) or the es350?
I just bought this a 2013 ES350 w/123,000km in black today! Same interior which has the nuluxe synthetic leather looks fine to me, really comfortable. Exciting times, our second Lexus!
How much was your car? I’m looking at one w/ 115,000 miles.
How much Pls?
$14000 cad
@@BrandonContracting That's quite expensive. Can I get a >150k mileage for 8,000CAD?
@@emekaifemenam7703 it's actually not expensive. My car's book value is $15k right now. If I sold I'd list for $16k.
I have this car . I love it so much ❤️
Its a phenomenal car
Recently purchased this model Lexus with 87K and got a break on the 4 year B to B warranty. Not spectacular gas mileage so I tend to keep the dial on "ECO" for maximum benefit. Overall seems to be a sound vehicle that was definitely helped by the previous owner's vigilance in adhering to the scheduled maintenance intervals. Question ? - Does the 2013 require 93 octane fuel ? BTW - whatever happened to your '08 LS wrap/paint correction project content ? Was really looking forward to the "big reveal" video. Many Thanks Yo ! 🔎🚘🚦 🤷♂️ 🔚
I have the es300h and I love it a lot. Drive is smooth and sport mode is pretty sick. And still get north or 35mpg
Nice that is great to hear. Yea I think it was smart of Lexus to make a hybrid ES. Looks like a nice normal luxury sedan but lot of efficiency
Hi I got a 2013 Lexus e350 can I face lift it to 2017 Lexus es350 by changing bumper headlight fenders? Plz let me know thanks
Very professional review. Good job.
Thank you my friend I appreciate you watching!
Cheers Kev!
Thank you sir!
What did you think of the ES compared to the GS as far as ride & quietness?
P.S. I am contemplating picking up a Lincoln MKZ Black label over the ES or GS. It just seems like a more special car overall. Look up the black label model MKZ & see what you think of it. Should I get the hybrid 4CYL with CVT or V6 twin turbo AWD? I'd only save $250 a year on fuel & probably go broke with either the battery failing or losing a turbo lol
I think the GS was a bit quieter but both rode about the same. Lincoln’s are cool just get a warranty or buy it CPO if that’s what you like. It certainly is different. Twin Turbo all day long tho heard the hybrids weren’t very smooth.
I drove the Aviator and I absolutely loved it. Couldn’t believe it was a Ford product. Have you tried out the Continental?
I currently have both es300h and mkzH and it’s 2 different feeling. Mkz is definitely the younger more high tech car. Make sure u get the pano sun roof. The Lexus drives way nicer and engine doesn’t feel underwhelming. The infotainment is garbage on the Lexus
Nice review by the way. Personally, I am not so keen with front look of the ES. It kind of looks too unspecial for my liking. I guess it is because I drive GS. Nevertheless, the engine sounds really good.
Hey nick thanks for stopping by I get it looks are subjective and yea GS looks a bit cooler haha nice car you have.
Love the motor!
I have never seen beige interior with black trim nice combination plan on upgrading from my honda accord
The Predator grill doesn't look at scary on this one. I also believe this is when it moved to the Avalon platform...which begs the question should you just get an Avalon or is it all about dealer experience? 🤔 Great review as always.
Yea I agree haha. Usually the difference between a Lexus and Toyota is the engine and trans tuning is going to be a bit smoother and interior of course is going to be a lot nicer as well at least the layout anyways. Might have a bit more insulation to make it quieter but both great choices. Thanks again for watching my friend!
The Avalon feels cramped inside and we would hit our knees soon the side of the dash getting in the driver side, but in the end, they both have that terrible unergonomic seat contoured forward at the top. If you compare the previous generation before 2013, the Avalon handles and rides better than the ES.
I'm a pimp for a living. This is my car of choice. Great video my man.
Haha thank you my friend I appreciate your love and support sir
My boy was bumping that Key Glock 😂🔥
I’m like wait a minute...that’s my hometown, lol
Haha hey thanks for stopping by my friend always great to see local viewers
I got a 2013 78k miles white for 15k. Great shape. I'm gonna drive it a little but really am thinking upgrading to a LS
LS is def nice if you can find a great deal on a CPO
What are good midrange price tires to put on my 2015 es? More worried about comfortable ride and grip in the rain than performance.
Kumho Solus
Given its age, will it face reliability issues if I plan on getting one in 2024 and I plan to drive it for another 10 years?
Hello,, I'm planning to buy same model (2013 Lexus ES 350), which done 88K KM, but not sure if it good to buy such car with high mileage, while at the same time I don't not if maintaining it are costly and do the spear parts are costly too... would anyone help with advise .. thanks
Lol 88k km is high milage? This car can go to 400k km.
Im looking at a 2013 w/ 115,000 miles. The dealership wants 13,500$ for it but I just never feel comfortable paying that amount for the mileage ( even though the engines last forever).
Any tips on negotiating? Or should I just cough up the $
What'd you end up doing?
Is international shipping available from this dealer?
Weird question: Were you able to notice any ambient lighting? Like doors foot wells or console?
I was not unfortunately have to.wait til night time to see that but Lexus never goes crazy with the lights everything just has a mild white glow to it
AS you know i have this ES350 now with only 36kmiles. Starfire Pearl (white) exterior with black interior . Looks like this one you tested didn’t have the Luxury package, it was missing the rear window shade and cooled front seats. Mine doesn’t have the ML sound system which is fine, the BOSE system is great.. Also mine has the “mouse” style control for the interface. This was missing that.. It’s an OK system, but obviously you cant mess with it while driving. the only other negative is that the rear seats don’t fold down (similar to the LS). But Love the huge trunk. Think its 15 cu. ft.
I bought mine last April with only 30,009 miles on it , came with Hancock tires.. Certainly not my choice, there aren’t that quiet and are not good in the snow... Ive rotated them once last summer and probably have about 10k remaining on the front set... Then ill go for Michelins or maybe Continentals. I have the same size 17 in. wheels and tires.. AT 17 inches they definitely give a better ride compared to 18 to 20 in. Rims you find on other luxury cars...
I think Lexus “underrated” the horsepower on this V6, it feels more powerful... I think the next gen has 302 hp... i haven’t driven the newer one to compare... Did you find it the same power ?
Really enjoyed this review.
Great summary of your ownership I would tend to agree with your statements. Unfortunately I have not tried the new ES but I def want to and hopefully that can be a next review
Exhaust Sports Auto thanks! Yeah I love my ES350! Glad to share my story !
Would you recommend this generation (2013+) over the previous generation (2007-2012)? I’m looking for a lower priced Lexus product that can give some “fun to drive” dynamics to it while being a dependable vehicle.
I’d imagine for the money, if you can afford one those new generation ones, get something else. But the 2007 ones are a bargain and a half being a sub-$10k car
I think 2013+ is definitely not going to be super sporty, but it’s more “fun” than the previous version, imo. A little less “floaty”
Even a Lexus never get the first year after they remodeled usually something goes wrong! They are more less testing things etc! If you can buy it new then the problems will have to be resolved by the dealer! But used you are usually the one paying up! That's a different scenario!
So fabulous 🎉
Stuck between buying the ES and a 2017 Audi A4 can’t decide which to buy
I would lease the Audi but Buy the Lex
Love my 2016 es350
As you should my friend it is a great car
Yo.... think you can review that rolls lol? :)
If they are willing to give it to me haha 😂 thanks so much my friend for stopping by
I’d love this as my first car, too bad I can’t afford it.
Hey honestly you really can get one(older model)Lexus for a good deal, because they def hold up man! You don't go for the new 350's. Go for one that's at least 10-15 even 20 yrs old; the ES300 or ES330. '99 -'08yrs with 160k-185k mi. for around 4k-7k and if it was taken care of even just with average maintenance you'll get another 50-75k mi. out of it, easy. Had over 240k mi. on my '99 GS300 *it's an underrated car. Same as the Supra's 2JZ motor minus the turbo still a 3.0L.Inline6cyl. Overall great reliable cars. still made in Japan.
@@thatguybrooke Japanese makes the most RELIABLE and DURABLE cars.....
You can definitely afford it and you'll be more than happy with it...
Definitely! I'll give it to the Japanese; they definitely know how to make a car that really lasts!
Which one of the es 08 or 13 models?
Yo man, I juet bought a 2013 with 65k miles it's super clean with clean car fax. I bought it for my parents and they love it so far. I have a 2017 rx 350, and I kinda like their car over my car
How much did you pay ? These cars are going for a lot more than the 15k quoted on this video.
@@theaajourney9872 i bought it this past August for 21k. Im a travel nurse so I drive quite a bit. Has 74.5k miles now so far just synthetic oil changes and changed the air filter. I was going to change the transmission fluid and gear differential oil too, but my mechanic said i can wait until i hit over 100k miles. Its really a great car, i probably paid a bit much for it but considering the market im happy spending the money
@@hwanjung8230 Very cool, thanks for sharing. It’s a tough market as there’s not much leverage on the buyer side anymore.
If it was my car, I would change the transmission fluid at that mileage as the recommended interval is 60k. I’m on the lexus forums and I’ve been seeing a lot of owners with transmission issues past the 150k mile mark (probably lack of fluid changes). I would have the dealer do it as it’s a very specific procedure.
@@theaajourney9872 yeah i called the local Lexus dealer and they wanted 275 bucks, which seems excessive to me
I have the 2008 ES 350 and I do prefer the look of the 13-18 gen. But if it doesn't ride as good, I don't want one. I'm not looking for tight corners. I want a living room on wheels. Which ones better in your opinion? 13-18 or 07-12?
My dad has 2013 and I own 2007 model. They drive similar but I think the 13 model drives a little better and feels more powerful and more responsive
@@guesswho993 when you say better, is the ride softer or firmer? I don't want a firm ride. I want a living room on wheels.
These are a SMOKING deal used right now, 15k(maybe less) if you can deal with higher miles and not quite pristine. Smidge under 20k if you get a bit nicer one with 30-50k miles. Just bought a 2014 with 50k on it. Test drove a 2019 4 cylinder Camry(whole generation newer) with 15,000 miles on it, same $19000 price tag. The ES 350 just beats the pants off the next gen Camry in terms of refinement, ride, features, and horsepower. The Lexus also just felt a lot more solid/tight despite being 5 years older with more miles.
Is the 2.5 litre engine ok.
How does this ES 350 compare to your Genesis G80 in terms of acceleration, comfort, and sound insulation? I'm considering both as a used car purchase.
Oh I can sum that up easily: it doesnt hope that helps
Can you do a 2013-2015 Lexus RX review?
I was planning on doing a 2017!
Just bough a 2014 ES with 89K mi over the 2013 ES for specifically the Siri eyes free option that Lexus started implementing in 2014 in all vehicles
While still a little primitive, it allows for a true hands free experience. Bought it for my wife, in an attempt to keep her phone down as much as possible while on the car.
The memory seats can be programmed to each individual key fob, therefore automatically adjusting to each driver position as you open the door. This was a big plus as I tend steal her car on the weekends.
Hope to keep this on the road for 7-8 years and then pick up a 2020 ES for a fraction of the $50K price.
Do these cars have remote starters????
Had 2014 ES350 30 days. The seats cause severe upper back pain since they decided to lean the top of the seat forward into my shoulders and create a dip in the seat just below. I can get in my friend's 2019 Camry and the back pain goes away immediately. The pain was so severe, I had to see doctor until I got rid of the vehicle. Loved the ES350 otherwise but why did they stop using the greatest one size fits all seats from all previous generations.
Just before getting this car was driving thousand mile trips in 1999 ES300, which was light years ahead in comfort.
That's on you, why blame the car for your shitty back? I've had three ES350's and the seats are very comfortable
😆 ES seats are supremely comfortable
I like my 2017, it replaced my 2010 Accord, which was a sporty drive.
My 2017 ES inspires more confidence in corners than my V6 Accords. I was surprised.
If I bought this today am I making mistake because it has no AWD? Live in Suburbs of NYC
Why would you need AWD? I live in Ontario (Canada) and just bought one. AWD = higher maintenance costs and worse gas mileage. With snow tires and sensible driving you'll be fine if that's what you're worried about.
Thoughts on a 2013 GS350 with 140k miles for $14.5k? Great carfax and maintenance at Lexus dealership
Just bought this. Best car overall-p
Wow massive congrats my friend!
These are great cars. I wanted this or a gs350 for Uber but even the old ones with 80k miles were going for $20k+ so I settled on a 2016 Lincoln MKZ 3.7 with only 6.8k miles for around that price. It amazes me how well Lexus cars depreciate
Yea they certainly do hold their value haha. Congrats on the new Lincoln!
Exhaust Sports Auto thanks! I like the Lincoln. Might upgrade the stock exhaust since it has the ford cyclone V6 :) one of the main reasons I bought it lol. I still want to eventually get a Genesis with the 5.0 but the Lincoln is Uber practical for what I use it for, pun intended haha
@@web_dev-rl2ve Yea I def understand I'm sure your clients would love being in the back of a newer lincoln like that too.
You will absolutely love a G80 with a V8 let me know if you ever try one out.
Exhaust Sports Auto I will! I’ve fallen in love with the Genesis just by watching reviews on TH-cam or seeing them on the road. They’re so attractive. I wanna get the ultimate package with the HUD too. I’ve seen them with 50-70k miles going for just over $20k. It’s my goal this year! And I’ve heard the V8 is really reliable too and decent gas mileage. Can’t be much worse than I currently average. I only get a combined 19mpgs.
Exhaust Sports Auto the only other car that I’d maybe consider over the G80 is the Kia stinger. Although I don’t know how reliable they’d be....
I wish I had known about these when I was buying a car a couple of years ago. I looked at some older cars but didn’t consider a Lexus. I ended up buying something new and economical that I’m happy with (Mazda CX30) but this would have been nice too. I want a Lexus next. :)
ES350 or GS350? 2013 versions of Both, roughly the same mileage here in Australia. And both cost roughly the same 🤷🏾♂️
Ehh I would go GS if its the same price
That’s so funny Himesh you say that because I’m also from Australia and even though the GS was anywhere from 10-30k more brand new, used they are the same price. If you’re interested at all, I’ve done a review on the 2015 ES and GS :)
Mine has 160000 miles still going strong
Thinking about getting one, but cant find one with under 100K miles. Is it worth it to get one with that many miles?
What did you decide on?
