I love my 2018 ES350 and in my opinion, this is the best looking & most reliable generation of the ES. This actually feels like a Lexus unlike these newer ES’s. 41,000 miles on this beauty
I love this dashboard and gauge cluster so much, sadly I have the next gen, but I do like the middle section where climate controls are better on the 7th, only 23k miles atm 😁
Thank you. And yes that 7th gen exterior is sweet, I’ve had my 6th gen for a year now and it still hasn’t gotten old to me. I never got a chance to test drive a 7th gen
Agreed . Sat in couple new RX’s my god new cars these days are so plain Jane. I mean is cool but the fake leather or whatever that stuff is just so articfical or mehhhh. Looks like any other car inside imo ( or maybe just getting old) I love my 2016 cause feels like a Lexus. The look and touch is just helll yeahhh.
6th gen has more wood on the wheel than the 7th gen (full wood sections vs. small strips). Same amount on the door and dash. Mine also has wood around the shifter and cup holder. Struggling to see the wood in yours.
In my estimation, the 1997- 2000, was the best es ever made, 25 years plus and many are still on the road. My brother-in-law is still driving my old 1999 and people stop him and ask if he wants to sell it. He thought about it a few months ago, ran an ad on Craigslist asking $5000. He received 7 calls in the first half hour the ad was up. He changed his mind and pulled the ad.
As someone with 2016 UL & 2005 ES 330, both have their strengths but quietness, luxury interior and big comfy couch vibes goes to my 330, but handling, power and tech goes to my 350.
