ES 350, thankfully, is more than just a gilded Camry. There's plenty of luxury, and for quiet cruising, this sedan has few equals. Keep a close eye on option selection, as it's very easy to break $41,000. At that price, ES becomes a less-compelling value against other premium midsize cars that are just as luxurious and far more entertaining to drive.
John Biel
The ES350's room, comfort, coddling, and power are all at the proper percentages, and at $33,170 to start, are quite affordable in this class. The particular car in this test was optioned to the point that the sticker, with delivery, topped $41K, but leaving off some of those options would still present a shopper with a very well equipped ES350 for comfortably under $40,000.
Kirk Bell
At $41K, our tester is over-optioned. Take that price down to the mid $30s, and you have a true value. ES remains a Best Buy as the only luxury-oriented model in a class of sport sedans, a character that many will appreciate.
Tom Appel
The Lexus ES is the last of the "near-luxury" cruisers that isn't taking pot shots at BMW's 3-Series. If you are free of sporting pretense, and just want a quiet, refined sedan, this is a really good one. $41,000 is a little steep, though.
