2.5 Year Ownership Review | 2016 Lexus ES350 

I regret buying my 2019 Camry Hybrid. Should have bought a used Lexus ES.

I just bought the 2013 version of this car, with only 30k miles on it. IMO, it looks and drives like new. I do have the front sonar sensors disabled (via programmer). But as far as daily driving, this car will spoil you with comfort and purpose. It is an absolute joy to drive.

Thank you so much for your longer term Lexus testimony. I've been looking for such videos which are few to say the least. Awesome testimony. Kudos to you.

The ES is definitely one of my dream cars!

Trading this ES for a Jeep would be the biggest regret of your life!

I love ESes. I'm it has been trouble free for you guys. I'm ready for the 2019 ES to come out though!

LOVE the color! And a window tint would make the car look so much more premium

Great cars. The new ES is pretty damn nice looking too. Can't wait till we get them at my dealer.

Lexus is so reliable...I owned lexus all thru the 90s and early 00s. I had to go back..I gave up on BMW and the unnecessary fancy gadgets/sensors because of the unreliability..the ES and GS are good comfortable daily drivers..Ill keep the hellcat for the weekends..lol

A great car and I love it. Great job explaining.

Great video! I agree with you with the front wheel drive acceleration, hanging on for dear life! For your dad, I’d recommend a Ford Explorer sport. Pretty quick, seats 6 or 7, and it handles well in snow and ice. What trim or options do you recommend for a Lexus? My mom wants an RXL and she’s not sure what options are really worth it, or if a 450 is worth the extra money.

We just purchased two '18 ES 350's Ultra Luxury and we LOVE them!

I laughed when you said the roof got dented by an acorn, Your dad should probably avoid trees haha. I love this design of this generation ES and previous. The 2019 looks too subtle.

I hope you will make a 3.5 years ownership review in 2019. That would be interesting.

WAIT THIS IS WHERE YOU WENT I BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU

I test drove a GS350 and ES350 Saturday. Both were 2016s. I felt like the ES was an upscale Avalon. Beautiful car. The rear wheel drive, among other things, swayed me to buy the GS. But nonetheless, I left impressed with both the GS and ES models and with Lexus in general. If I had the money and need, I would've bought them both. Very nice cars.

Great car and video

Swapping out an ES 350 for a Jeep seems sacrilege. 🤦🏼‍♂️

I have this same car except mine is 2017 with tan interior. Bought it CPO in December, 2020. It has been a great ride..just rolled over 40,000 in December, 2021. I just got it serviced; I drive it like a little old lady going to church on Sunday...

I have an is250 f-sport your making me want to trade in for this es!

Great review. Thanks for sharing.

Naish e-sh-uvi, daily format

dont even comprare this to v6 accord i had 09 in family dam that thing was very fast and handles great my camry now goes 80 pmh with 2 rpm you can barely feel it 4 cyl i can only imagine how smooth this lexus is

can you do a pov test drive on your bmw 3 series

Thinking of trading in my 13 Cadillac ATS for a 14-16 es350

this is such a great car lol. wow i want one. is this a great daily driver? ty

2016 Lexus ES350, 47,084 miles

Did this car come with the low profile tires before you changed them?

I just purchased this car and same color two weeks ago and I LOVE IT🤩🥰❤❤

How’s the car holding up now?

My aunt just took delivery of her 18 atomic silver es with gray leather

Dude, your front bumper has been removed and polished to say the least. Look at the white discoloration at the inner edge of it.

Owner from brand new 2016 Lexus ES 350 at 120k miles: Car can feel slightly underpowered and needs a little more torque. It depends on RPM for pick up and there is a little too much delay when you need immediate power. Ride can be stiff for bigger bumps. Takes small bumps well though. LED low beams a bit too dark; high beams are good. 6 speed transmission feels a bit archaic. Seat not too comfortable. Gas mileage - so so. Does not run well on regular gas. Almost requires Super/93 octane. Overall still a better car than most midrange midsize cars.

Hopefully your family will keep it for 250k+ miles like my family's es300!

I can attest to the FWD handling. I have a 2011 Impala 3.5 V6, and I do find myself hanging onto the steering wheel.

Loving this car and nice video but don't you wonder why the POWER TRUNK cannot close with Key lol It just make NO SENSE to me...

just bought a 2017 with 16k miles for 28k, has everything but the built in nav but has the app support for it

How is it in snow ?

Hey how much is it worth currently?

Almost as happy as 10k off a Grand Cherokee!

Wonder how it will hold up since they’re made in Kentucky now and not in Japan..., always a bit worried about Cars built here compared to good old Japan

Why does Toyota and Lexus have the same door chime on them for the new ones on the Avalon and Camry and the newer cars ?

Very reliable

My DAD says gators so aggressive cause they got all them teeth and no toothbrush 🤪

"Oil every 10,000 miles" mhh...for me no more than 5k-6k oil change interval

@6:15 that's exactly where I put my car key/fob as well 😁

I remember your 6 month review I believe your dad had close to 9k miles then 50k in 2.5 years he's been doing some serious driving

I hate the front fascia so much, miss the old school Lexus designs

They say the older models are quieter and a softer ride.

47k on a Lexus IS nothing

I am strongly against them being built in the U.S for the american market. Only the *Japanese* can make these cars at a high level of quality, no one else! #MakeLexusJapaneseAgain

Have u changed the transmission fluid. It's ought to be due for replacement. 50k Miles

What is the difference between 2016 vs 2017

Massey Toyota

What’s an acorn ? Is it similar to corn on the cob?

0-60 in 6 seconds....6 and a half seconds that's a big leap

My name is Harrison 😂

my f150 is that fast 0 to 60

Your dad doesn’t put Top Tier gas in his car?

Headlights on auto 😊😊😊

Ur front bumper has been replaced if not by then by ur dealer may be in the lot they hit the bumper wth something but for sure sure sure the front bumper has been replaced or repaired

I do not like that Lexus still does not support Apple Car Play or Android Auto. I know a few people that will no longer purchase a Lexus until they do. Other than that Lexus makes an awesome car. As usual, AWESOME VIDEO!!!

Answer for your problems: get the 2019 es

My grandparents ES just hit 100k miles yesterday, and it’s in pretty good condition..My grandmother is trying to convince my grandfather to allow her to trade to for something newer.

N

No not for a lexus

O

Whats the point. You might as well by the Camry. I dont get it they look alike. Why pay more? Scratching my head. Its the same car😒😵

I hope the Grand Cherokee was the Trackhawk...

1st

Get off that Badge envy and test drive a true car worthy of this price range. The Gensis G80 is a far better car than this thing.

BMWS ARE BETTER
