Is the 2020 Lexus ES350 the BEST midsize luxury sedan to BUY? 

I have the 2019 es350. Like it a lot. My neighbor has a Range Rover and Mercedes. Every time I drive by his house and see a tow truck in his driveway, I know I made a good choice...

Great review Joe! The ES is a great car! My family bought one new back in 2003. Over 150k miles so far and it's still going strong!

I've driven both a 2018 and a 2019 ES 350, and it is amazing how Lexus improved it between the generations. It feels so much nicer on the inside and rides a lot smoother - not that the older car wasn't smooth, it's just that Lexus made the ride a little less busy this time, with less body roll and less jiggly motions over the bumps. Awesome car and great to see your take on it.

Since the GS is being discontinued, the ES needs to have AWD on that 6 Cylinder not the 4.

I've been driving a 2020 Lexus es350 f sport for a year now and you get used to the track pad very quickly and I find it very easy to use.

I have a 2020 model and it is amazing. I never touch the Trackpad while driving, use the manual controls to make any adjustments. As you mentioned the Trackpad is fine when stationary and it allows for that great placement of the screen. I really like that it’s not close like a touch screen. If you find the Trackpad a bit too sensitive you can dial that down in the Settings.

The sexual innuendos in your videos are f'n hilarious!!! lol

Love your reviews. Everyone and their brother does car reviews. You’re top 3 all day!

Thx for the vid dude! Make sure you stay safe, especially during this time of year!!!

"You can have 12 inches every day", LOL. I died laughing. Love the Channel!!!

We have a lexus nx in australia and we love it, with the infotainment system i actually switched off our apple car play android auto temporarily, and we use our lexus bluetooth and i like the blue tooth its straightforward and there are no distractions. I listen to American radio stations, love it.

Joe, thanks so much for reviewing the same model and year that I have! Mine is the hybrid version (ES300h). 👍

An absolutely great review, thank you very much.

We currently own a 2020 ES350 Luxury trim model as it was difficult for the dealer to locate an ultra luxury trim with the specific color combination for us back in February. I agree with all of the features you have shown with this trim especially the extremely difficult to maneuver infotainment system. The only 2 points that I find Lexus is somewhat lacking compared to its competitors (for example the 2015 C400 4MATIC we used to own, purchased new in 2014) are: 1--The trunk can be opened with a push of the button from the driver seat. However, it cannot be closed with the push of the same button compared to the C400. It can however, be open or close with the foot gesture under the rear bumper. 2--The only USB connection to play MP3 files is located in the compartment right below the CD player. When the flash drive is inserted, the lid cannot be closed so it is somewhat in the way and can be knocked off if you are not too careful during driving. However, I do find that the Mark Levinson system in this Lexus sounds much better than the Burmester sound system in our previous C400 and the Bang & Olufsen in the SL550.

Great review. I bought mine in July, and there are two additional features not shown here. 1. Trunk kick release, so you don’t have to fumble around for the button release 2. Brake hold, so you don’t have to keep your foot on the pedal at traffic lights like a peasant ☺️

That’s a nice luxury car, Joe! I love Lexus’ vehicles!

these are great cars in terms of reliability, know many people that swear by them. love the interior.

Great review as usual...thank you

OMG one beautiful car after another lately 🏆 keep em coming JOE 👍

Joe I love how every video you have a different outro for Crown Vic.

The Lexus Grills reminds me of an Hourglass, the hourglass means time and time is money. I brought my mom a 2016 ES 350 last month, she is loving the car. The Lexus brand is very reliable and stylish.

I turned on the TV to watch the elections but ended up watching this video. Props Joe!!!

Have to check out the Lexus lineup great video Joe

Beautiful one I have 2007 its amazing cars

It's a Lexus you know it's going to be strong in reliability

Lexus did a really good job with the interior in my opinion

Great vid Joe. keep up the good work 😁

Great vid Joe😃

This is a really helpful review

Great review to a great car

Love the es it’s one of my favorites on the list especially the F sport , great video joe 👍🏻

Thx for the video 🔥

I own a 2009 Lexus ES350 and its a awesome car.

I thought that wire hanging out of your right pocket was a hair on my screen, lol. Awesome Video

I think this car is a lot of car for the money. Roomy cabin, great rear legroom, soft leathers and finishs, a lot of luxury features and of course the legendary reliability and the great resale value. Definitely a better value than Germans competitors. "You can buy this sexy tank and keep it forever😁💝!"

Joe! You mentioned Chipotle and it’s 11:50 at night when I’m watching this. How dare you go there!? I’m now craving it.

Wow!i love watching your videos..and the jokes are hilarious.keep up the good work.

JOSEPH ~ I TOO AM DIGGING THE MEGA GRILL, this one is kinda fancy looking & it took a while but it has grown on me, UNIQUE is the term, I consider myself a unique human so it's easy for me to identify with what Lexus had up their sleeve a few years ago when they introduced the cow catcher grill. now I'm in love, it must be her personality lol. ah man I love your videos, bro I tell so many people to watch your channel, I share links with friends & I really do believe in Raiti's Rides or I wouldn't be here. back to the show . . . WOWZY I'm impressed > not much bucks for the extra LUX - good job Lexus. boy inside & out, the art design of this car is sweet. I like the new dash lay out that Lexus uses - practical & tactical without being too dated looking - in other words in five years it will still look good. the tail - oh boy, sexy, yeah I love a lil junk in the trunk, ya know what I mean. butt really Joe is Lori feeding you enough? I'm kinda worried about all these snack food references - did that tape worm come back? ya know I love ya bro. I'm still watching . . . trackpad? the navigator sitting in the passenger seat can mess with that. I know what you mean though, by time you get to where you want to change something the light turns green lol. OUTSTANDING - tony

Love your reviews your one of the best in the game. Was asking can you do a review of the 2020 Gs350 F sport I’m hearing it’s the last year there making it?

I have a 2016 ES, Lux package, it's the bomb, 18 inch wheels, rear spoiler, rear sun shade. I love it. I also have an 09 ES, level 3 lux package. Lexus makes the best cars hands down.

I want one so bad, I'm about to buy my first home, but BABY after my first year of home ownership I am getting one. I love my IS250 but the 350 is my favorite

Hey Joey! Thanks for another great and hilarious review. I do love the styling of these current Lexuses (Lexi? LOL). Like my Shogun Warriors when i was a kid. Doe I am very much a 2021 IS guy, as this ES is a bit Komono Chickie, tho still pretty ;). Lexus really does need to put in some serious engines (WTF is up with the resistance to do that? Crazy!!), put some starch into the suspension, add all wheel drive to all models, and they would have a legit direct contender to the Audi A6. :) JV Johnny

Love it my mom had two always loved the es

We’re buying our 2014 model tomorrow everything about this car is absolute perfection

I love this car . I miss my 2000Camry fwd and it handled sweet in northeast winters . I think the es350 2022 fwd will give me similar drive but more luxurious than my Camry . As always great review .

Holy crap we just ordered one of these!! im so excited!!

I hope you and my other favorite channel both take this as a compliment.... are you and Alex on Autos, like Clark Kent and Kal El?

Rai, you my hero.. 12" all day. lol. Solid. Review.

Great job as usual. I have owned a 2002 ES 300. I loved that car. This price point is in my wheel house. However is the F Sport version better? If you have an opportunity review and F Sport ES? Joe i have stated this before you are the best in the game.

I have the ES350 and yes the trackpad is not intuitive, but for most functions you can also use voice commands.

Great review and in answering your question i say a resounding yes,great value for money money.

nice cd music choices

I have 2020 ES350 F Sports with red leather seats , HUD and Mark Levinson sound , best package ever !

I swear I was watching how much longer that red light was going to stay red lol. Then you cut the clip 😂

Nice 👍 one joe the color is awesome 👏 the interior and those seats 💺 is hot it have a lot off space and good visibility and control on the road and boy o boy that train 🚂 is cool I love seeing that in the video haha 😂 give it up to crown 👑 Vic Lori your entire team and you joe 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏✊✊✊✊✊💪💪💪💪💪💪👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👑👑👑👑🤴🤴🤴📸📸📸📸📸📸📸💺💺💺💺💺💺💺✨✨✨✨✨🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

LOVE IT JOE!!!

I love the trackpad ...

Wow and very quiet riding that’s what I want 😎

First of all they need to make an ES F in memory of the fallen GS

I Love this car, it's very smooth vehicle and No Zoinks!!

Last time I was this early on a Raiti’s Rides review I had 4 Twinkies in my glovebox!!

"You're going to squirt cream everywhere back here". Don't threaten me with a good time.

Hey Joe, the car is still being delivered to different Mazda dealerships but can you please 🙏🏼 find and review a 2021 Mazda 3 Turbo Hatchback Premium Plus?

Beautiful car!

10:30 that’s a lot of baby oil you put on your arm joe lol

If you own one you eventually get use to the trackpad. It takes a little time to master it but once you do it’s really not that bad.

Hey Joe, you happen to know when the Toyota Camry XSE Hybrid 2021 will be out? If you can make a vid on that, I’d be glad to watch it! 😁😁

All of these "secret locations" are beautiful Joe, especially when paired with a beautiful car

Beautiful 💛

I have the ES 350 FSPORT black line love my car it rides so good and quiet

I have the 2018. This my third Lexus I lease from Lexus of Clearwater Florida. I'm looking to getting a 2021 if I can get out of my lease early

Love the current es look really unique

It's really a great car to go on a road trip. So comfortable and boring to drive. I really wish they paired the V6 with AWD.

Lexus really looks gorgeous! But they could use some extra work on interior especially on that Infotainment system.

thats a sharp looking front end.

No views, Love it!

wonderful car!

Previous ES use to have memory seats for the front passenger seat.

Great review. Looks better than other Lexus model. AWD and Turbo would be a good option

In my country the 2021 ES 350 non F-Sport trim comes with a silver grille, not sure I've seen this anywhere on youtube... but it looks gorgeous in all silver color.

I'm watching this video from the Moon. By the way, is that a Lexus grill you're showcasing? Let me put my glasses on. 🤓

Look at Lexus huh!!! Hmmmmmm... I'm still not sold on that spindle grille but they've owned it and it's definitely helped to set Lexus apart from every other automaker. Great review as usual Joe!!! I hope they give this the proper F treatment to help fill the gap left by the GS and GS F ...R.I.P. #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #ToTheDoorPanel #TwinkiesForDays #OnThrottleAgain #CrownVic #LoriGotAngles #CameraQueen #Zonkmeister #OnThrottleAllOverThePlace #Lexus #ES

Some people are still tongue wrestling over this grill design 😂😂😂😂. This dude makes me laugh every video

Thinking of getting this does the panoramic sunroof open

The interior is comfy looking, for sure. I guess I'm in the group that gives the front a zonk. Looks too busy, and that gaping maw just doesn't seem to fit with the otherwise great styling. Still, wouldn't complain too much if I found one in my driveway, with my name on the registration lol

Joe I cant decide this or the top of the line Honda accord 2.0t...you tell me what's ur thoughts between the two...

it is amazing

Nice, now this is a deal!!! One of my favorite Lexus sedans, for real, for real!!! But I can say the 2015-17 Chrysler 200C is also about as good altogether, but this ES350 got that reliability, no lies!!! This just needs a touchscreen and some all-wheel grip, but otherwise flawless! 🥰🥰💯🔥💪🏾

Great Lexus it’s truly amazing

Overall a high quality luxury car at a reasonable price with a solid reputation for reliability. However, the trackpad is the dealbreaker for me as I require at least a touch screen and strongly prefer dedicated push buttons and switches.

Scotty hates that grill 😂

MMMMM!2020 LEXUS 350 what a car! Love that LEXUS GRILL!( A little boo or ZONK on that trackpad like you said, Joe.I have lots of friends, neighbors and a Nice Lady I know with THis Lexus model.LOL,HAHAHA, A butler in the trunk serving you( HOW ABOUT Lurch from the ADAMS FAMILY?LOL.LEXUS 350 DOES RIDE GREAT! I am a personal witness to that fact Joe. Joe and CROWN VIC, thanks for another great video.RIGHT ON JOE! RIDE ON!

I purchased my 2021 ES350 in November ... I love the ride ,,, hate the interior noise ....highly noticeable in your report while you are driving ... Probably the last Lexus I will own ... yeah"it's quiet in there" when you have a red light!

I have the 2019 ES FSport. It’s a great car that provides comfort, luxury, nice power and a fun to dive. However, what’s missing is an AWD option and power retracting mirrors.

You can also use voice control to control everything.

Nice car very luxurious 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

The door handles inside are probably the best ones in any car

I love my '08 !

How much to get that angled headrest fixed

Great review. I would certainly buy one these, after it's about 3 yrs older...and cheaper.
