5 Things To Love: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nGWXpZtqfM3egJs.html 5 Things To Improve: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lnVtztx6iq61oco.html

My first experience with Lexus was a very short ride in a buddy's 2015 GS350. I was blown away by how incredibly quiet and smooth it was. I personally drive a 2002 GMC Yukon XL, which in all fairness, there are many vehicles that'd be smoother and quieter than that. The driver aids were a bit annoying, but those can be turned off. I had my bag in the backseat and the car was dinging because the seatbelt wasn't buckled where my bag was. Weight sensitive. The GS350 was even the sport sedan. If the sporty car rides that well, I can't even imagine how well the ES rides. The ES350 Ultra Luxury will absolutely be my daily in the near future.

Well done, you pick up a sub, you captured my enthusiasm with my new purchase. I picked up a 19 UL low miles in July. This car blows me away, you can't hear most semi's when they are right next to you on the highway. So comfy, good power, the Levinson sound system is excellent. Owned a 13 ES350 and this is so beyond that. Stupid reliability and low cost of ownership. Nice review, honest.

You didn't even touch on how ridiculously good the Mark Levinson surround system is, it completely changes the game. I have the 2023 of this model and they further improved it by removing the touch pad and made the screen entirely touch. I will say the 8 speed auto does suffer a bit from hunting for the right gear in slow speeds but any other drivetrain would be too weak to move this boat. The cherry on the top is the fact it takes regular gas too.

Kiss your affordability goodbye. And, remember a larger tank has its own compromises to both roominess and gas mileage/performance because of the extra weight and space.
