Across town or across country, the ES 350 is as luxurious as it is comfortable. Backed with enough power and agility to maneuver out of most unforeseen traffic challenges, the ES 350 is a perfect highway cruiser. Superlative descriptions for smoothness, quiet and comfort are perfectly appropriate for the ES 350. The stability control system, anti-lock brakes, brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution make their contributions to keeping things under control and helping to prevent an accident before it happens.
SmartAccess Keyless Remote Entry/StartingNo more fishing for keys in pocket or purse as the SmartAccess system allows the driver to lock and unlock the ES 350's doors and start and stop the engine with a simple push of a button. Optional Heated and Ventilated Front SeatsLeather-wrapped 10-way power seats help keep the ES 350's front-seat occupants warm in the winter and cool in the summer. During the frosty winter season these seats help keep driver and passenger toasty by providing three levels of warming, and there are three stages of cooling to beat the heat in summer months.
Refinements to the interior of the 2011 ES 350 include 10-way power seats up front. Although the ES 350 may not be the first thought when purchasing a family vehicle, the 60/40 split-folding rear bench seat leaves more than enough head and legroom to accommodate two average adults or three children. The ES comes standard with leather-trimmed seating, which matches nicely with the real walnut or maple accents. The control and switchgear layouts are ergonomic and easy to use, though the white-on-black electroluminescent main gauges are better seen in bright sunlight than the center stack display.

Backed by a computer-controlled six-speed automatic transmission, this free-revving engine helps the Lexus go from zero to 60 miles per hour in seven seconds and through the quarter-mile in 15.2 seconds. To sweeten the deal, the well-proven reliability of this potent powertrain is reinforced by a supplemental six-year/70,000-mile warranty. 3.5-liter V6 268 horsepower @ 6200 rpm 248 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4700 rpm EPA city/highway fuel economy: 19/27
Sticker price on the ES 350 is significantly lower than that of its European competitors, with the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) starting at just under $ 37,000. Fully loaded, with the Ultra Luxury Package, Mark Levinson premium audio, pre-collision and dynamic radar cruise control system and wheel upgrade, it will be closer to the $ 46,000 mark, closing in on the price gap between the ES 350 and its competition. These numbers rank fairly close to that of its mid-size American and Japanese rivals, including the Acura TL, Cadillac CTS, Infiniti G37 and Lincoln MKZ. Nevertheless, the ES 350 proves to be worth the dollar amount in the long run as it not only boasts reliability, but also tends to retain higher-than-average resale value.
Introduced at the Chicago Auto Show in 2006, this model is the fifth generation ES manufactured by Toyota's Lexus division.
If American car-manufacturer heads had been warned about a Japanese take-over in the mid 80's, they would have almost certainly laughed at the prospect. Humorous or not, the Japanese did conquer US, not through mecha led wars but rather through anime and cars. However, before the mild-assault began, there were a series of weird meetings held in secrecy in chairman chambers.
Such a meeting was held in 1983 between Toyota chairman Eiji Toyoda and his company executives. Toyoda had not invited his enforcers over for cookies and tea but to question them about the possibility of developing a luxury-car line that could successfully compete with American brands. The project was labeled as F1 -Flahship 1- and proved to be a most lucrative endeavor. The result was a vehicle that later became known as the Lexus LS 400 prior to its US premier.
The LS 400 was not just a car that took time and resources to built. In researching American luxury-product consumer habits and lifestyles, the Japanese went as far as renting a house in Laguna beach in order to observe their “subjects” closely. Offspring of long-gestating consumer research and cutting-edge engineering, the LX 400 was a hit.
Endorsed by insightful advertising, the LS 400 made its entrance at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, 1989 where it was one of the main attractions. And how could it not have been after 24 engineering teams and a few thousands employees worked on 450 prototypes at the cost of a paltry $ 1 billion investment?
The main advantage Lexus had over Acura, that had reached US markets 3 years before, was its uniqueness. Unlike the first Acura models which were sold as rebadged Hondas, the Lexus held little connections to Toyota design patterns.
Silent, ergonomic, powerful and reliable, the LS became a fierce competitor for European imports such as Mercedes Benz and BMW, whose sales drastically dropped following Lexus' trumpeting market entrance.
Models like the ES 250 followed which along the LS registered enough sales to allow the brand expanding through an 81-dealership network. During those first years of sales, Lexus became the top-selling luxury car in the U.S. Things were going smoothly for the Japanese manufacturer, just like its cars, and in 1991, two new models were released: the SC400 coupe and the ES 300 sedan. The latter was marketed as a replacement for the ES 250 and quickly became the company's best selling sedan.
Following the release of a heir to the LS 400 and the Toyota Aristo-based series of the GS, Lexus entered the sport utility vehicle segment in 1996 with the launch of the LX 450, a large car based on the Toyota Land Cruiser 100. By 1998, Lexus would release the RX, a top-selling crossover based on Toyota's Camry model as well as a new series of the GS. During the following years, further technological improvements such as the introduction of the Lexus Hybrid Drive system on the 2005 RX 400h, resulted in an even greater sales increase.
Things were so good for Lexus that it has constantly grown since its inception. The brand has been introduced to the Japanese home-market in 2005 as well as it has in other regions of Asia and South America as well as Australia and Europe. By 2007, Lexus had spread in over 50 countries and it continues to grow. The company's “pursuit of perfection” is fronted by its current line-up, comprised of the IS, LS and RX series among others as well as the avant-garde LF-A concepts.

"Love my lexus"
I bought this car 9 years ago and have loved the drive ever since. We have three lexus vehicles and I drive them all but my favorite for comfort and smooth ride is the ES350. The IS 250 we have is also nice but a more sporty design and rigid in comparison. Fun to drive non the less. We have an RX350 which is very nice but I find the drive is not as smooth in comparison. It is an SUV so it understandable. All three are just luxurious in comparison to comparable cars in the same price range , like infinity, BMW etc..., You definitely get the most bang for your buck with Lexus and they hold their value much better than comparable cars.
I think I will stick with the ES for a few more years.....

"Smooth comfortable ride and reliability"
This car was purchased to replace a 2005 Acura TL with 192k miles on it I basically wanted to find a used premium car that was as close as I could get to the particular TL model I had which they discontinued after the 2008 TL. I purchased the Lexus ES350 in 2018 at 6 years old and with 62k miles. The car is smooth, quiet, and has a luxurious cabin. The take up upon acceleration is light and responsive. I like that the dash controls are streamlined and clean cut. The mpg is satisfactory and I like that it takes regular fuel vs. premium fuel required by the Acura to run smoothly.Read less
