2016 Lexus ES 350 review from Family Wheels 

I am young and i love the ES models they are classy, reliable, great on gas.....quiet comfortable smooth ride.

I have to disagree on what you said, that this car is for old people. This car is beautiful and sexy. I would rather say, that this car are for people who has great taste when it comes for being class. I am 28 and I would definitely look professional, if I would own this red ES350.

i’m in my 20s and i’m getting a Es 350 next week it’s beautiful

I'm 34 and own 2 Lexus ES Sedans. 10 and 17. They are affordable, comfortable and offer solid reliability. The 2010 is more comfortable to me but I like them both.

I have the 2017 Lexus ES 350. It has been a great ride so far...

Great video! Our 2016 ES Luxury package has been problem free since new.

This dude is awesome. Excellent review and zero ego.

Bought a 2014 one of these over a newer Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger, figured I was gonna own it for at least 6-7 years and put 100,000 miles on it. The compelling reason to own one of those cars was the HEMI V8, which in my price range meant something a bit ragged out/wrecked for a V8 car, plus the fuel economy penalty. V6 300/Chargers/Challengers, you can find those dirt cheap all day long, like 2019 cars with 20,000 miles for the same prices as my 2014 ES with 50,000 miles. Figured the Lexus was the better buy despite having 4-5 more years of age on it, Toyotas hold up a lot better than anything else if you keep them long term.

Great video. I really like this model.

Great review i really enjoyed it keep making videos and i agree i wish Lexus would make a wagon es, gs, and is

What wagon do you recommend for good gas mileage and rainy weather?

U compared a e class wagon to a es wagon?

great review

Great review. I have the Acura TSX wagon and love it. Too bad they don't make it anymore. What's your top 3 2017/18 wagons?

ES= Executive Sedan.

I’m 35 and I love this car. Maybe I have an old soul? 😂 Not just for old people anymore

Nice review! Looks like Lexus did a decent refresh for 2016. I recently bought a 2013 ES, good information about the seats, I made sure not to get those, but got the NuLuxe ones; also there is no good place put sunglasses...

You do know what the holes in the front seats are for, right? Peltier thermoelectric cooling or normal heating... Air is "blown" in, whether with the PTC unit, or a simple fan that uses the cooler or warm air that an air conditioner would provide for the cabin. By the way, you can solve your yoghurt problem by avoiding eating it in the car, or using a napkin if you insist on eating in there.

Nice review, would had been more nicer to see some action on the road and 60 seconds stuff and all. I wonder why you said its for gray hair people. I am 32 and I love the looks of the car. And this will be a treat for my wife if she wanted to take spin on a sunny day. This solves the problem of having a second car.

Have you done any reviews on full size SUV’s such as the Expedition or Suburban?

I love this one

I love lexus ES 350

Good old reliable dependable Lexus even after 10 years of ownership

Thank you.

Did you get the yoghurt out?

Thanks for the video, is having an extended warranty worth it for the this one thanks

Good review. U did not say anything about the ride quality. Those are 17 inch wheels. I am thinking of getting the 18 inch wheels that consumer report did not like from the previous lexus (2015) as the ride quality was worth. Also, you did not like the front seats, but you liked the rear seats. What's the difference?

how are the base speakers?

Tuned out when you did the yogurt smearing and try to make people think perforated seats are some kind of evil idea. They functionally assist cooling by allowing for air circulation. In the ES there is also a fan providing forced air, but even on lesser cars perforations allow for passive cooling, which makes a huge difference when you drive a car for hundreds of miles without stopping, which many of us do. This is why you see taxi drivers use car seats that do the same thing, and even mesh office chairs. Also, a side feature is the perforations provide surface friction area so you slide around less on these type of leather seats that don't have a lot of bolstering.

ty

The seats are perforated because they are ventilated, allowing a flow of air to circulate through the holes. It's very comfortable on hot days, but not with yogurt. A wagon is too exposed during a trip. A conventional trunk keeps the cargo hidden from prying eyes.

the price is in cad right？

the ride comfort is fucking epic

I'm debating on a 16 like this or a 2019. Has anyone owned both years and are there big differences?

"Given it the beans?" Nice expression sir

to add to what i said i run over rocks on purpose to see if i can actually feel them

I'd prefer white or black leather interior for this red exterior !

It actually stands for "Executive sedan" officially, though insiders at Lexus say it really stands for "entry sedan." LS is "Luxury sedan" and SC is "Sports coupe." I have no idea what GS stands for (if anything).

Where's roger ? ...:)

definitely a ES wagon would be great like a toyota venza..

Literally perfect except for that odd infotainment navigator… just make it touch screen

I just can't get by the grille on the Lexus models.

All those cool features...my 2015 Hyundai Sonata has them. More comfy seats, too.

Executive Sedan actully

'If you don't eat your Yogurt, You don't get your meat.' One of the worlds best port injected motors and 6 speed gearboxes that have a certain long lived 'Excellence' to them. It will take you to the Grave on pennies while the others will cost you both arms and a leg. My Neighbour continually asks 'can you pick me up from the M-B dealership at 9.00am.. It just stopped !

You say your a tall guy. I would think you could reach into the trunk.

Lexus skews older....I dont think so. Definitely younger

I walked into a Lexus dealership to check out this car. Went with my dad, who was asked by three different people if they could help. And after 20 minutes of never having been asked to help, I walked away concluding Lexus really very badly doesn't want my business. Lincoln and BMW were exceptional in their attention to care of potential new customers, and that's where I spend my money.

It boggles my mind why 1) Lexus doesn't offer a touchscreen 2) offers Apple CarPlay. That little mouse is a nightmare to operate during a test drive.

The front of the car looks scary! "Shark jaw". Is it ugly?

Just bought an es350 with premium, luxury package and panaramic sunroof. Bye-bye Acura -- never again. You can keep all of your torque converter issues that date back to 1999, your oil consumption issues due to bad piston ring design. Oh yeah, and now you've got engines with the gasoline and oil mixing together in the cylinders. Haha. My advise to Honda is, please follow the K.I.S.S. principle because you're FAILING.

no touch screen is the deal killer for me

ES = executive sedan

japanese people don't like wagons much.

No! Station wagons are horrible, suv's are the way to go.

It's not a sports car You want that by a LC 500

Comments by Desi. The 2016 ES350 is my 3rd base Lexus and the worse redesign Toyota ever made. It has no place for sunglasses, it is NOISIER than my pass sedans, memory seat positions have been removed from the base model, outside rear mirrors do no tilt down as in previous base models, the center information screen is difficulty to use and I do not use it, and the cigarette lighter which I use to attach my GPS to is in the most awkward location. I like the rest of the refinements.

That front plate ruins the look.

This stick is bashing the king of autos..its for old ppl like real? Germans autos are crops.

How many times are you going to say "older demographic"? Some day when your youthful skin problems have cleared up you'll understand that age is not as relevant as you seem to think it is. And please convert liters and kilometers to gallons for the rather large market of 320 million plus Americans who use gallons/miles per gallon as a barometer of fuel economy. And finally, it's Lexus, not "older" people that think a analog clock is classy and elegant. I much prefer an digital clock and I'm twice your age.

I disagree about comments about its sportiness, the car has very poor, undefined and mushy steering, no way I would take it on windy country road, at least not to have any fun, frankly my old 2006 Toyota Corolla has better, crispier steering. I watched this and other ES reviews and I was almost convinced to get this car (the car has some great interior finish options) but a test drive quickly dashed my expectations. I am getting IS 350 instead and this one handles superbly. Interesting what the dealer told me - you are too young for the ES (and I am 63).

how about giving the miles per gallon as well you metric elitist

If you're gonna do metric for your main audience, put the conversions on the screen. Stopped watching at that point. Yes, metric is superior. But I speak imperial, it's what I know and I've grown up with, and there's no reason to not include both if you're going to make metric your main stats.
