Car safety features in the Lexus es 350.
My Lexus es 350 is a dream car. The interior is comfortable and quiet. I have all of the electronic safety equipment and will never own another car without it. The car has emergency braking and blind spot protection. The automatic cruise control is fantastic and automatically slows down for cars ahead.

Love the little trackpad.
Super comfortable!! Love my car. Love the interior color and the shiny exterior. Gets great gas mileage. Rides smooth, super luxurious. Sound system is great. Navigation could be updated and is sometimes finicky but overall love the technology. Still smells like a new car!

Pros and cons of Lexus es 350 2016.
This car is one of the best I have ever driven, safety features works well. One thing I like about the car is how silent it is, you may not hear the sound of tires at all. But I the lane departure feature is somehow annoying for you cannot change lanes without indicating otherwise the car is perfectly smooth. It picks up fast from stop to 60 mph.

It is very affordable and on par with the price of a toyota avalon.
I like the looks, the comfort of the ride, the quietness of the ride, the new atomic silver color and the prestige you get from driving a lexus. The interior is boss.

Great car with excellent gas mileage, style & luxury. Large enough for families!
The Lexus es is a super smooth drive both in eco and sport mode. I average around 40 miles per gallon in the city. I'll never own another non-hybrid car. The luxury package is beautiful. Lexus has been super reliable, and the safety features are excellent. It is a stylish car that does turn heads!

Great car. A must buy for someone looking for a great deal for your money.
Great car. Have had it 4 years and no issues. Have only replaced the brakes and tires. Only room for improvement I find is a better sound system. It is not crystal clear. Engine is quite and the ac works great. Wish it had a little bit more leg room in the back. Lexus link should be included in the price of the car for as long as you own it.

2016 Lexus es certified way to go.
Great reliability, service from dealership is on point, dashboards help monitor maintenance when car needs it like tire pressure, 10k oil change, rarely needs to have maintenance. Ride is smooth and comfortably fits 5 people and my dog. Navigation is great and updates on win.

It is a dependable car. It is costly but well worth it.
Attractive, strong, safe, and good technology. Good handling and good customer service. Large, boring, and elderly.

I really want the car to be repaired
I guess a dug too far down in the barrel and picked a bad apple. The car rattles and Lexus claims that they can't duplicate the problem . Only had the pre-owned Lexus for 48 hours before I noticed. Has anyone else experienced noises that seems to be coming from the passenger seat area ?

Lexus experience from a first hand viewpoint.
Love my lexus. It is reliable, luxurious and drives well. With the hybrid, I have experienced gas mileage as high as 49 miles per gallon, compared to the advertised mil of 40 mpg. I highly recommend the lexus brand; know of no one who has ever driven a lexus and did not thoroughly enjoy the experience.
accountCircle MohamedRizwan S on June 3, 2021
Highly reliable and comfortable car.
Good performance and highly reliable car. I never had an issue for the past two years. It's so comfortable to drive the car and for the passengers as well. Features are little outdated as they do not have apple carplay in it. Other than that I strongly recommend it.

Is The 2016 Lexus ES A Good Value?

Well it is a luxury car, so you expect a luxury price. A fully loaded one is going to cost in the $60k range, but then it should be compared with other luxury cars. What is a good value on the Lexus... Read More
Rosa T.
It's a very good value on a higher end car. You could spend a lot more but you won't get a better vehicle in my opinion. Cost was less than a new truck.
Sandra G.
Cost me 380.00 per month. Great value. Original sticker price is 50,000. Great value in that it is LOADED with options.
Peggy T.
With extra things added I think I paid between $40,000 and $45,000 Yes for a luxury sedan it is a good value
Lauren D.
It costs a lot of money, and it’s a very good value because it doesn't cost too much money, so it’s a pretty good deal.
