  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ค. 2024
  • 2017 Lexus ES 350 Review featuring a Certified Pre Owned (CPO) model with 18k miles on it. In the used luxury car market, I feel the Lexus ES 350 is one of the most desirable cars. See my 2013 Lexus ES 350 review here: • 2013 Lexus ES 350 Revi...
    The Lexus ES 350 is the entry-level luxury sedan in the lineup. This makes the ES a very obtainable CPO model that is available to a wide variety of budgets. In this 2017 Lexus ES Review, I go over the drive, interior, and features.

      How was your experience with it? How long did you keep it? I just bought a 2017 ES with 95k miles, replacing my 2007 Camry (from new) with 227k miles, same engine. I had hoped to run that Camry to at least 250 maybe 300k, but a bad axle job has caused a click-click sound at take off that Toyota says is in the transmission that they predict could be trouble down the road. I didn't want something with this high miles, so seeing your comment makes me curious. Please say.

    Great review Kevin.. AS you know my 2013 ES350 is amazing, now with only 38k miles. Original owner took delivery in August 2012, so essentially its 8 years old but it drives like it just rolled off the showroom floor ! Still tight and super quiet.. I have the luxury package which gives me memory drivers seat, heating and cooled front seats, electronic adjustable steering wheel, rear sunshade and more I’m sure I’m missing here. Love it and will be keeping this baby for 10+ years ! The build quality and reliability of Lexus specifically the ES is unparalleled. “Elegant Sedan” is truly remarkable.. Last April when i was looking for a great ES, I was tempted to go 2013 Camry. AT the time the Camry was about $6-7K less than my ES which was $17,995 and i said to myself at 54 years young just spend the extra $ and treat myself !
    Knock on wood, ive owned it since APril 2019 and ive only replaced 1 TPM sensor.. changed the oil myself when i hit 33k miles and I’m about to do another oil change today.. Synthetic 0W-20, actually Toyota “brand” oil which ive read is Mobil One but with extra additives added by Toyota specifically for Toyota engines ...

    The 2016-2018 Lexus ES350 is by far the best used luxury sedan for the price. The prestige of a Lexus, comfortable quiet interior, luxury amenities like heated and cooled seats. Additionally this car has a N/A V6 off course which will always be smoother and more refined than a turbo 4 competitor. You are paying 3 series money for a car the size of a 5 series. I own a 2006 Toyota Avalon Limited with the 3.5 V6 (same engine as this car) and had absolutely 0 problems. A used ES will probably be my next move after that car.

      I still have a B6 Passat but it’s really just engine problems and it’s so picky and gentle in maintenance. The reason I’m thinking of getting a Lexus is because the B6 Passat interior was amazing and I loved it because it’s my first car but it has a rear engine seal that’s leaking oil so even if I could get it fixed for $450, I’ve already put $4,000 into it.
      The only thing I’ll say that I’ll miss is a digital speedometer. I am just lazy in reading the analogue meter 😂

    I bought an 08 ES350 in June 2019, it's an amazing car and I plan on driving it till it falls apart. The only major issue so far has been the transmission, which needed to be replaced after I put 10k miles on the car because it started slipping badly. The fluid was completely black and burned because the previous owners declined the recommended fluid change at 100k miles at the Lexus dealership, which wasn't disclosed to me nor showed up on the carfax.

    Bought a fully loaded 2013 ES300H with 58k miles for $16,000 in 2018. It's now at 125k miles. Not a single problem occurred. It takes 87 gas, so $19 for a full tank of gas (Texas gas) that lasts about 500 miles. Super cheap insurance I guess because more old and careful type of people buy this car instead of the teenies. A/C is freezing cold unlike the German's A/C which takes like forever to get to temp. Maintenance is like $150 every 5000 miles. And til now I can trade it in at anytime for $10k-$12k after driving it for 67k miles. Crazy.

But seriously great video. I can’t stand how nit picky other channels are. My choices are coming down to either Mazda CX-5 (small trunk kinda kills it for me tho), Mazda CX-9 (slower acceleration tho), Toyota RAV4 (slow), Lexus es350 (not used to a sedan). Really want a Lexus rx350 but my uncle has that and I don’t want to copy him lol. So many choices lol

      The GX is also an excellent choice but costs a bit more and has amazing resale. I think the biggest negative is the poor gas mileage with that amazing V8. If you don't drive a lot, the GX can be a great choice.
