Luxury of Lexus ES350 no matter the age of the car
It is a very smooth ride and has all the luxury features of the newer models. It is a comfortable space for every person no matter the seat.
accountCircle Robert F
It is well thought out and easy access to the features. User friendly.
This car is smooth and fast and quick and reliable and comfortable to travel long distance with great gas mileage and range of travel per tank. The car is easy to work on for repairs and maintenance. It runs like brand new. No difference really. Never left me sit on the toad.

Great comfortable and reliable used car.
As far as problems it's not really a problem but gas consumption could improve. Reliability is super good and one of the best reasons why I picked this used car to buy. Comfort is a great experience every time I get in my car is like my home very cozy has many features that make you feel comfortable such as supportive leather seats with heated and ventilated options. Features are great has a shade in the back with a push of a button and Bluetooth.

Lexus ES 350 Smooth Drive!
Quite comfortable. Drawback is road noise. Just can't eliminate even with the quietest tires. Very smooth drive. NAVIGATION SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. I updated in dec 2018 and it will get you close to where you need to go but you will need to figure out the last bit on your own. So bad I want a refund of 300. Visibility is good music system is fine. Sudden braking works very well! Safety seems fine but I don't know if it is better than other cars.

Smoothest ride ever, push start and always puts people to sleep.
Super smooth ride and very reliable as long as you keep up with normal matinees your Lexus will take care of you. I always get a complete check when I get my oil changed so that helps me make sure that I am on top of taking care of things while they are little and not waiting until they're worse than they were at the start.

Great buy for a comfortable car.
My second es350. Handles very well. Takes curves with ease. Picks up speed from zero to sixty in 5 seconds making it easy to merge onto highway. Comfortable controls at fingertips. Well equipped with backup camera, heated seats, moonroof, leather seats and lumbar adjustment. Would buy it again well worth the price.

Solid reliable quiet and roomy.
The 2010 Lexus es350 is a solid reliable four door sedan. I have not had any mechanical issues with it or any complaints about it. The car is a ride and very quiet. People comment on how quiet the ride is. I am tall so roominess is important and this car is very roomy. The back seat has a lot of legroom.

Negative Owner Reviews

accountCircle Michael Y
Minor flaws but overall a reliable vehicle.
Overall, the car is extremely reliable and performs well, but some of the downsides of the vehicle are normal amenities vehicles should have such as a tire pressure gauge for each tire and also the cup holders in the center console are surprisingly small. I believe the fact that it continues to be reliable and perform effectively overshadows some of the negatives.

2010 Lexus es 330 consumer review.
The car gets great mileage and is very useful as a 4 door sedan. However the center console space is both limited and not functional, creating some issues. The car is also longer than it needs to be, which can make sometimes make parking difficult, especially in cities.
accountCircle Terry D
The car gets comfortable and even in the colder months even if there is snow.
The vehicle is good rides smoothie, the air system is clean, it gets good gas mileage, it has not gotten a single problem with the tires, it's comfortable to even five long for long distances the car looks good no problems with any oil, no problem with anything.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Ray D.

Quality craftsmanship. Super smooth and quiet 300 hp v6 engine. Performance when you need it. Many luxury features. In my opinion, sleek, aerodynamic good looks. Touch screen GPS nav / control center.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Ray D.

Expensive to buy. Expensive to maintain since dealer service charges high.. Also must use 'plus' gas, so fuel costs a little higher. Auto insurance is also higher due to high horsepower and luxury designation.

Jennifer D.

Is The 2010 Lexus ES A Good Value?

Since it is a 2010, it would sell for less than $10,000 with all the miles I have put on it. A new one would be well over $50,000.
Christina S.
$45,000 brand new. I feel it was worth the money. The interest rates on new Lexus vehicles surpasses all other luxury vehicle manufacturers.
Candy N.
I paid 24.000 for it bought it from Lionel Richie who bought a BMW and it was loaded with all upgrades leather
