The ES is king. Just bought one. Will never ever buy anything else other than a Lexus. What a colossal masterpiece.

1 of my dream mid size luxury sedans! I've already driven that. Great to drive

As usual Joe making another awesome review

That's one of the prettiest Lexus sedans I've ever seen.

This is a outstanding car in every aspect, period! I will definitely get one for myself, cant wait, nice job btw and keep up in great work!

Such a beautiful machine. Love Lexus' current lineup

Nice review channel, he does not whine and nit pick about subjective matters like other reviewers. What a beautiful machine! Lexus is lightyears ahead of everyone.

Another great review Joe!!!

Very nice I love all your reviews .... your the only person I’ve ever seen that does a full review of every key point on the car wish you would review the Lexus gs350 2010 haha would love to see what you about that generation.

Absolutely love the Lexus. For me personally everything is precision spot on! My only zonk is one of the things that you like, it's the open front end grill. I'm just not feeling it and I'll tell you why. If I owned one of these beautiful sedans I would be a nervous wreck worrying about someone bumping into it while they were trying to back out of their parking space let's say at my favorite restaurant. Without any type of bumper to protect it I just see my Lexus all jacked up because they miss judged the distance. I know that styling is really nice but please just some type of front end bumper lol. I know that a lot of people are going to think that I'm crazy but that's just me. Great job Joe, hopefully one day I'll be able to afford a car like this.

My very first Lexus sedan! Nice video Joe.

IS300h owner here, and I have to say I love lexus, very very brilliant luxury cars. Btw first time watching your video's. Great reviewer, very straight forward and fun to watch.

You do such an amazing job!

Just picked up one same exact model and year-UL Package Pearl White w/Black interior and runs exactly as expected. Love the quietness and smooth ride.

I love my Es 350. Thanks for the review.

Awesome review! Thanks😃

Awesome review, as always! Can we get a review for IS 350?

Holy... I LOVE the exterior of this car... it looks so good...

Yeah i agree with you about the trunk lid lip spoiler , lt really works well with the design. It's like a mild version of rear spoiler on the new Supra👍. Always a Great review 👍

I wish I knew you were in Naples, I would loved to have loved for you to do a review on my Urus.Maybe next time. Love the channel.

Great review!

Beautiful interior!

Every ES has been phenomenal! I have two!

Great information in detail.

Not only budget but luxury cars too... That's like a perfect mix!!!

LIKE IF LEXUS Rocks

Yes it’s so special!!!!!! It’s the best luxury sedan it will last forever and had the best quality!!!!!!!!!

Best reviews on youtube. Can't wait for you to get your hands on the new gt500. Bought my 2019 gt after watching your reviews

Hey Raiti... can you show the interiors at night so we can see how they look? I think that’s important.. so many cars have led lighting today..

Great review Joe !! As always... As you know i have a 2013 ES350, not with 36k miles.. I have the Luxury package (not Ultra)... missing some goodies and different dash and exterior panels, but the same smooth V6... Love it.. my hp rating is only 258 but i think it was under-rated for insurance reasons (maybe). Definitely feels like more than 258 hp.. My only ZONK is the rear seats don’t fold down in my 2013 (and still don’t). Not a fan of the ‘mouse’ style interface which I have. Best is this V6 only requires Regular gas and I’m getting great mileage... if I’m cruising on the highway, the graph gauge on the dash shows 40 mpg (updates every 60 seconds). Will never own another SUV, yes the cargo space is great, but they suck at gas mileage... My old BMW X5 was a pig, barely got 12 mpg around town

ES not my cup of tea but thank you sir for the wonderful review ☺️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I showed this review to my grandpa since i thought he'd be interested, and now he's asking about trunk gnomes...

Great review Joe ! As I’ve told you a couple of times, I have a 2013 ES 350. Bought it pre-owned this past April w only 30k miles ! Car was definitely garaged, I’m the second owner and it’s flawless, Pearl White w. Black leather. Mine has the premium package, I don’t have the full blacked out roof ( would love it though. It’s solid like a tank and quiet like a vault. Mine has the same V-6, but only rated at 268 hp. it’s quick but no 5.9 sec 0-60!!!!? Think mine is 7 seconds. Just changed the oil & filter for the first time with mobile one synthetic, I’m good for 7,500 miles. Did it myself with car ramps. I bought it from a car dealership in north Jersey

this video seems to be very different in terms of Raiti being 'speechless' or 'blown away' by this car... Normally Raiti talks about the car in one smooth take...but this car is so good that Raiti can't find words for it many times... just wow! Let's do part 2!!!!

Another banger Joe awesome. Personally Joe if I'm getting any Lexus Vehicle, it's gonna be the 2019 Lexus GS F in that drop dead gorgeous Yellow 🤣♥️♥️. Would love to see a 2019 Lexus GS F 1 day. Thanks Joe. Keep up the great work and reviews.

Leased on in July. Vastly different than the previous model. Far quieter, far better handling. Superior styling. Extraordinary voice command electronics. 44k price a total bargain. If you are thinking Audi or BMW/Mercedes, do yourself a favor and try one.

I got the ultra premium in back in july. Best car i've ever owned 👍

A well done comprehensive review. This car is very nice with a custom looking interior, the exhaust diffusers don't bother me. I am not a big fan of the rotary knobs on the instrument panel pod, they just look like an afterthought. I may be nit picking but the rear trunk hinges are also a bit cheesy for this price point they just have a cover over them instead of being integrated into a trim panel like most luxury vehicles. Additionally what happened to under hood lights, seems like you have to buy a $100k car/truck to get them.

my comment on the Lexus ES. I currently have the GS F sport. So I am Biased already due to the generic rear wheel drive platform. When I get this vehicle as a loaner for my service visits. My best description is , its a couch on wheels. It’s luxury though out. Well appointed. I just kept feeling the lack of weight in the rear. When they make it an AWD ,it still will not fill the gap the GS owners experience. But a beautiful car and point on review .

I was actually picked up by an Uber driver in a 2020 ES 350 and was really blown away. I've always been a 5 Series guy and now I'm seriously considering this. My only Zonk is that it's front wheel drive. Should be choice of RWD or AWD.

Great review Joe! I have a ‘19 ES Premium Trim Line. I wanted the F-Sport but couldn’t get it with the panoramic sunroof. That is only available on the Ultra Luxury trim. The wheels you spoke to are also sound deadening and there is a second, sportier 18” version which I opted for. I went for the Premium trim with Mark Levinson, wireless charging and a standard sunroof for less than the $56k of the Ultra Luxury trim. All in all I am pleased. Thanks again for a great review!

13:09 Raiti drives everywhere with a noam in the trunk😂😂

Good review

Nice ride!

Hi Raiti, nice review, the one of few Lexus cars that I like, but I'd go with the LC 500, slap on 2 turbos, swap the headers and full exhaust.

When you said you liked that they took out the LED daytime running light out of the front fascia and put it into the headlight unit, that got me a little confused... The ES never had a daytime running light separated from the headlight unit, that was and is the current IS design. It was never a design the Lexus used for the ES.

Hey Joe I have a request: if possible can you review a 2020 Lexus ES 350 F sport? Just some advice: if you can, get one with the adaptive suspension so you can feel what the ride is like compared to a non-F sport ES 350.

9:56 Don’t set anything other then a phone that can wirelessly charge on it because if it sends power to anything else it might damage itself or damage whatever is on it.

How are you Joe ever thought about viewing a 2019 Lexus rx 350 have a good day

Finally someone who doesn’t btch about Lexus infotainment, you just have to get used to it

Sport mode also changes the steering making it a bit more stiff/sporty

Yes, I’m a Lexus girl. I just purchased my second es 350, 2020.

One thing with Lexus IS almost every interior function can be voice activated from the air conditioning to radio. Not sure about the sunroof, but that would be nice idea. Just press button and say open sunroof.

i have this car from 2011 and it has the same features even adaptive light system where they move.. so basically they only changed the interior... not hating on lexus i love their cars i just cant justify dropping 40k to get the same car

I couldn’t watch earlier, I was out to dinner celebrating my birthday. I saw one of these today and it’s nice looking, but then there’s that grill I’m not a fan of. Oh well 🤷🏻‍♂️ Nice job Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Please review the new IS350 F-Sport

I’m not seeing these models on the road like I thought I would have..

You should review a 2020 Lexus RX350 F-Sport!!

Can you do the 2020 Wrx to talk about the updates on it or is it just very minor?!?! :D

I like Lexus so much !!!

You said MPG 22 city/ "23" Hwy... Not much of a difference!! Was that correct?? Very odd. Update: Just checked Edmunds website and it says 22/33. Small goof. 🤣

I like lexus because they focus on luxury and reliability over sportiness

If I was in the market for a cushy luxury car, it would come down to the Lexus ES350 F-sport, or Genesis G80 sport. I actually think with the exception of the LC, that the ES350 has the best interior styling out of all the Lexus models. I love the large tach and digital speedo in the center. I especially like the graphic changes when entering different drive modes. The exterior profile and rear styling look great. I don't share the same opinion you do on the grill though. I think that large spindle is a mess and disrupts the otherwise nice flow of the lines. The DRLs are much better integrated now though. If I was looking for this size vehicle, I might even consider it's platform mate, the Avalon, in TRD trim. Great review Joe, thank you. Oh yeah, cd player, really? Lol

Can you review the 2022 es 350 ultra luxury trim

@5:55 he ment 22 in the city, 33 in the highway. Not 22Ct/23Hwy

Possibly yes. Or the GSF?🤷🏽‍♂️ hell even the ISF👍🏼 Not to mention for an suv , the 2015 Lexus RX350 F-sport with red interior is awesome! We got one and it is amazing.

2:40 in the review. The front grill trim is either Brushed aluminum or Chrome but NOT both! What you said makes no sense!

I kinda want to know whether the 2020 model would have the touch screen like the RX series...

Nice video, would you say the luxury package is better than having the f-sport package on the ES?

Beautiful car.... Made specially for wet/snow climates, people should understand that. Canada is filled with es350's cause of their front wheel drives.

How’s the maintenance on the es 350 vz other models?

Dream car

Raiti what about ambient lighting in Lexus products? Have you noticed any or not really? Considering leasing one of these or buying a gently used LS500 I’m just wondering how they look at night

Can anyone tell me about that vertical grill? I wanna buy it for my '16 ES 350, but I can't find it. Tell me the SECRET!

Im looking at a 2019 wth 62k miles.base model.they want 26grand.is that too many mikes? Im also considering a 2021 ux200 with only 34k miles.same price about. Am i better off with the cheaper model with lower mikes.or is 62 miles still safe for a 4year loan? Sorry

I would like to c a review on that Mercedes AMG GT 63 S PLZ

I need a t shirt that says a plethora of information!

I like it but why eliminate the fog lights vs previous years? I still have fog where I live and need them! I opted for the 2018 with the fog lights. I dont have android auto or apple car play and dont care because I never had it or used it I just listen to music from my phone connected via Bluetooth. This thing rides like driving a cloud ☁️! I wish car companies would make a 32oz water bottle cup holder.

Can someone comment on size (roominess & legroom) for front driver and passenger compared to say the Jaguar XE? I had and XE but found it far too small and uncomfortable.

Which is more comfortable and quieter between ES350 and ES300h?

People complain about the grill and this years grill is a totally different design and I happen to like it VERY MUCH. This new grill is vertical instead of the horizontal design. This reviewer actually mentions the horizontal style. Maybe more people will like the change, but I’m not sure. I also wanted to add this is an excellent reviewer, IMO, because he reviews the features of the car and NOT things the car doesn’t have like AWD. A noted English reviewer keeps comparing this model to German models with AWD and degrades the ES. The MB E cost is almost double to this, plus this car is not promoted as a sporty diving car. So it’s not a fair comparison and I suspect he is paid in some way by BWM and MB.

What's the difference between this and an IS?

Raiti or anyone; Someone commented that the car has a visibility hazard (from the hump that's above the instrument panel). Is that true? Thanks

just got a es350 2019 front drivers seat moves while driving dealer ship said they all that.dont sound right

ES 350 is the same size as the LS 400 from 1989 !

Where does the front license plate go?

It takes regular gas

Toyota is stepping up the Camry and Avalon models.

14 quarter mile? Isn't that the same as the Civic si?

I would get the Fsport exterior with the luxury interior

It's not 23 on the highway haha. :D WHOOPS!

That's a great exterior color

I think I am going to keep my 2016 ES and skip this generation. They lowered the vehicle too much and Lexus needs to move away from the 17-inch wheels after putting the vehicle on a bigger frame. The 18-inch wheels should be standard.

Great review but 56k for a sedan ? Good luck lexus it needs awd /the fully loaded camry is about what 42k and why do u need a 3 person memory for the seats? Usually only a husband and wife driving

All those buttons looks like from 90s cars

I'd rather have it with a front bumper. Key word bumper. There's nothing there to bump other than expensive grill work that will constantly have to be repaired when it gets backed into. You'll be picking summer bugs out of there to.

Does owning this car gets me some good social status in california? And is it a type of car that doesn't attract unwanted cop stops?

No zonks?

Its a nice car. Honestly though, I don't see why they couldn't make the twin-turbo 10 speed available as an option. Toyota reliability makes it's cars a pleasure to own; something no German car can claim.

Actual mpg is 22 city 26 combined 33 hwy in the non hybrid/f-sport. 😕
