I bought this exact car about a month ago and I am very pleased with my purchase. This car is smooth and relaxing to drive and in my opinion looks really good, especially the F Sport model. One very important point you guys fail to mention is that the normally aspirated v6 in this car runs on regular gas. Almost all comparable luxury calls run on premium gas. This is 20% cost savings on operating costs over most comparable cars and the fact that this engine will have fewer maintenance issues.

BS. No petrol head would want a FWD giant barge with that much power, that could never put down that power, but pretends to look like a sporty car. If you like the Lexus way, their reliability, their comfort, and you're a petrol head needing a big sedan, you get the GS. The styling on the ES is just a fat dude dressing up in spandex and trying to pull themselves off as an olympic swimmer. Unfortunately people do fall for that, and those people are just stupid or too snobbish to buy a Camry, which is what this is based on. They didn't want to labelled as such a normal Camry owner, but what they really wanted was nothing more special than a camry with some fake vents on it.

The ES is much smoother and overall more comfortable front and back than the GS, it almost makes you not want to drive aggressively and just enjoy the drive. Trying to go around curves at high speed inspires no confidence compared to the GS though, tons of body roll.

One of the best cars this year, in my opinion. The previous ES was very good as well in the fact that it prioritized comfort over everything else, no sport. Reminded me of of late 90s-late 2000s American sedans from Caddy, Chrysler, Lincoln and GM.

The F-Sport is just an appearance package at the end of the day.

That gear pulls very well on the highway because it’s VERY long. 80ish mph In 3rd is a great passing gear. Because it’s FWD the 302hp feel much quicker because it doesn’t lose a lot of that power. It’s not a fast car like he said. Because it’s fwd and naturally aspirated. It gives u that initial pull a lot. When he doing highways speed. There is no torque steer. Only if ur flooring it at lower speed. After u get out of 1st. There isn’t really much tq steer. Because the drivers of these cars. Just want a semi sporty luxury. And are almost never going to floor it off the line. It’s completely built for highway driving. EXTREMELY QUITE no torque steer. there have been a lot of cars that couldn’t keep up with. Me on the highway because this thing is built for highway speeds. 3rd gear on the highway is a killer. So I’m not sure what he’s talking about. Especially under 100 and not starting from a dead stop.

Agree! These youtube review channels all seem to mention 2 of the main aspects of car purchases, reliability of a vehicle and the resale value, which for any sane person would be more important than "sportiness"

Love the current designs, the grill makes it stand out. In the past lexus was a premium brand that just blended in with traffic, they did not stand out... kinda looked like muddled mercedes... now they look unique and genuinely stylish. Why not make these rear wheel or awd that's one factor that makes me want to step up to a GS. But the styling is so good! Some may argue that fwd is fine however torque steer and understeer are not acceptable... interferes massively with the driving experience. (Imho)

I just bought the 2020 ES F Sport- same color as the in the video. Overall, their review is pretty dead-on accurate. I agree that the ride is amongst the best I have experienced, the interior quality is very good, the car is silent, and the styling is edgy (unlike previous ES models). On the negative side, I agree the overall performance is lacking with adequate acceleration and good handling.. the infotainment interface is horrible. I wish the vehicle had a V6 turbo/supercharged version and I also wish the stereo was better (it’s good, but not great for the ungraded price). Also, there is no A/C button to turn off the A/C, you have to navigate through the infotainment system.

Awesome car great ride reliable as anything made.

The background music on point

Can you make a price competitive Lexus, Genesis, Acura, Mazda, and Infiniti comparison?

It's really weird that you don't like the fact that the car is comfortable , quiet, reliable , has good resale value and fills the sector for which it is intended. People don't buy a Lexus to go racing . They want a reliable , comfortable transportation vehicle . You should only review cars for those who are 18 yrs. to 30 yrs old that don't need to keep their drivers license and don't mind paying speeding tickets in order to hear their loud roar of the engine each time they go for a drive.

I've never used it, but it looks very good - better than the one I tried in the 2018 Audi A6 I expect. But, any car in the "premium" or higher market space should have both: touch screen on the main display and trackpad so you can choose which you want to use.

I got used to the track pad guys. Like bowling or beer pong, you get more accurate with your placement.

You can still get the GS350 F sport AWD.

the touchpad was a response to the joystick that everybody hated... but i actually grew to quite like the joystick.

I have the previous version, 2018 and I drive over 35,000 per year. It is the most comfortable long haul driving vehicle I have ever owned. The space in the back is massive. I am 6’3” and I never have to move my seat up for rear passengers. The 3.5 liter V6 is amazing, always enough power when needed. In ECO mode I get about 31mpg. As for the quality it is one of the most reliable vehicles on the road, most of these cars for resale have 150k to 200k and still fetch 15,000 or more. I only wish my version had the Apple CarPlay. Also they are American made right here in Kentucky next to its brother the Toyota Avalon. Some people think they are very expensive but I got mine in December 2017 for $8,000 off of sticker or about 20% off list. I love mine and will drive it for at least 120,000 miles before I consider selling it.

I have this car it’s my second lexus and they went all in with the interior refinement. It feels like a much more expensive car, in respect to material choices and design, the drive is very smooth and if you click it into sport mode when you take corners it can fool you into thinking it’s rwd. Somehow the car makes very tight turn ins and the rear behaves very tidy. My only gripe is bc it’s made in America it’s the first lexus I’ve ever been in that does have some panel rattles when the music bass is bumping. My IS I had was made in Japan and the panels were so tight nothing rattled ever even after 4 years of daily driving over 20k miles per year. A lexus hallmark. Pro-tip for the touch pad…. Control it with your thumb rather than pointer finger and you’ll get much more precise action

I got used to the remote touch system in my NX with no problems. Also, confusing the SOS button for the sunroof controls is a bit of a stretch. That never happens. The menus themselves are fine but I do wish for absolute positioning with the system. I believe that the new Acura RDX system is based on the Lexus system but all the kinks are ironed out. The Acura system is what the Lexus system could be, and should be, if they just changed some things.

I don't know why Lexus won't make the entertainment system touchscreen optional along with the trackpad. You can get aftermarket touchscreen systems for the Lexus.

The beginning is me when I have to wake up early just to sit in my car for street cleaning at 6 am… have a pillow and blanket in my trunk for this reason!😂

An awd ES with a turbo inline 6 would be epic

I love the background music🎶

Can you please review the Lexus RCF

You're trying really hard to like or want this car but I don't blame you. I'm with you

James is the only person that likes the infotainment

6:20. Nailed it. Perfectly describes my disappointment with this car. I love the look of it inside and out. I love that it's refined and full of new tech. But I hate how, being FWD, it's just a tarted up camry/Avalon once again. Was why I chose the current IS over the ES really...and we don't get a 3.5L in Australia...so yeah...

Amazing this Lexus worth every penny

it's a great car.....

Do the mirrors not fold inward on this year?

did you guys lose sleep over that trackpad?

You might have sold me on this from the beginning skit. One important aspect of a car for me is one that is comfortable to sleep in. Once I went through a divorce and lost my job and had to live in my car for a few months. Being a comfortable car to sleep in is incredibly useful because you never know what life throws at you.

I’m sorry to hear this. I’m glad things worked out for you.

Thanks gents - I enjoyed the video. A couple of thoughts. You didn't really address the value proposition nor did you compare the car to its competition. Is this the best car in its price range considering its mission? You can't compare the ES against a 3 series BMW (much smaller - different mission) and a similarly equipped AWD 5 series is at least $20,000 more expensive. So what would you compare this car to and how does it stack up? I will offer one compliment to you both... as a 50 something "gear head" I roll my eyes when millennial "racer boys" review a car designed for someone my age to drive (in the freezing cold, in grid lock traffic, on the Gardiner) and dismiss it - because it wouldn't be fun on a track. Which is of course ridiculous... Now - while you did make that faux pax, you at lease extolled the virtues of the car's comfort, its plush ride, well built interior and quiet cabin. Which, if I may conclude, is the mission statement of this car. The F Sport is an appearance package. The "F" is the performance mission. Cheers

Quite frankly this was one of the poorest quality reviews and won’t be watching these guys again. Much prefer KBB or Carwow because they usually address the points you brought up.

In reality, just how many percent really cares about fwd/rwd thing on this kind of car? As long as it is comfortable and fast enough on daily basis, the car is good enough

If they made it rear or AWD they're eating into the more expensive GS and IS business.

Went from 08 BMW 3 series to 15 Lexus ES. So far 90k problem free miles. Only oil changes done in 6 years. Still on stock brake pads etc. Next one will be another ES when current one dies......

Does it have voice-activation to control functions?

Hey mate, if you like Lexus reviews I've made a few of them including the ES. If you're interested to watch let me know what you think :)

Track pad oversteer, lolz!

I remember when BMW first introduced the 1st generation of idrive knob and everyone hated it! ... To me a touch pad is good and will get used on it if "only if" Lexus brought up Android auto as well ... I mean this is the real deal breaker for me ... Lexus are you listening?

They need to make it all-wheel drive to compete with other luxury brands. They also need to make the infotainment more intuitive and get rid of the touchpad. I don’t know anyone who really likes that trackpad. It’s gotten so bad we’re all excited about a tuner knob.

THank god people actually do reviews of nice cars. I feel like if I ever bought one Id not notice half the shit they talk about.

Fist time I hear someone saying the lexus info ternemant is nice. Personaly , as a canadian I just cant spend 60k on a car that is not sporty and with no AWD.

Lexus interior quality is second to none. It really is the luxury brand of JDM. F sport is misleading tho, not like a BMW or Audi or Benz where you get quality interior with a killer power train, but it's not 80k either.

BAD SEAT DESIGN Same exact car bought 2nd hand yesterday.. It’s a good car, just the FSport seat bolsters are killing my thighs!

Funny, but true. If I'm not in my own bed, I prefer to sleep in my car. The only thing missing is not being able to prop up your feet to make it ideal. Would be huge if the manufacturer figured out a way to do this. Another potential feature (that doesn't exist) is using the car's steering/controls and display for online gaming. Throw in a portable potty and I'd never need to get out of the car. LOL.
