The ES is gorgeous. My great aunt has been leasing them for awhile now. I drove one that she had a few times. They're quite luxurious, supremely comfortable, and silky smooth and quiet. But oh my god! They are so dull to drive. The steering was novocaine numb and way too much body roll in the turns. They're great for anyone who just wants something luxurious, quiet, and reliable yet doesn't place driving fun as one of the requirements. In other words, it isn't for me.
Like all the cars. Here's the order I like them in from worst to best. 7. Altima (it's still a nice car though) 6. CR-V 5. ES350 4. Sequoia 3. Sienna 2. Commander 1. 4Runner
My family had a 2007 sequoia SR5 in the rare Blusteel Metallic color. It had every option for the SR5 with the exception of rear seat entertainment and nav. No issues at all, we only had 88,000 miles when we traded it for a 2014 Highlander. Fantastic car :)
+ThinkOutsideTheCube I thought that the 2016 was a bit ugly at first, but then it grew on me. The 2016 has a much needed boost in horsepower over last year's model. Hope to keep mine at least 10 years plus. Still see a lot of Civic's from the 1990s still on the road.
I think Honda did a fantastic job with the 2015 CR-V update. My mother has a 2012 and while it's been stupid reliable and durable it's lifeless to drive. I also don't hate the CVT in the new ones. I have driven both.
The ES is a very luxurious car. That Sequoia looks great for 180,000 miles! Looks like it has half of that. Poor Disposable Altima. Lol. The 4Runner has the same Goodyear floor mats that I put in the xB. Only difference is I bought 2 sets of them, put one set down and cut up the other set to cover more of the carpet. Kinda like homemade Weathertech mats. Haha. Good video!
+DriveFast22 Thanks! My thoughts on the 2016 Civic aren't very positive. It just looks like a melted ILX. All the curves and droopy front styling won't look too good 10 years from now. Personally I'd much rather get the cheaper Corolla, a 2013 Civic or just buy the classier ILX.
+ThinkOutsideTheCube No problem and yeah, I'm sort of thinking the same but I do like the gauge sweep on startup and a few little interior things, but that's about it. I guess I could've just fb messaged you, but I was already on UA-cam so yeah. Lol. 😄
I didn't either, because my grandmother has a 2014 Sienna. It's a base model, so it doesn't have push button start. Only as I started looking up reviews of these more loaded Siennas, that was when it occurred to me that my grandmother's Sienna is a base model.
Well i was not able to do one for thanksgiving this year since we were at my uncle for thanksgiving this year. But my family is having Christmas eve at our house this year. So i hope that i can do Christmas Eve cold starts this year.
+Hector O Haha, he's a fan of the looks but would never spend that kinda money on a Nissan. I'm sure if they had some steep incentives he'd consider one.
+ThinkOutsideTheCube I see where you guys are coming from haha. We got some huuuge incentives on our Maxima, one since the Manager honored the Black Friday deals early and because they we're trying to get the 2014 and 2015 cars off the lot to make space for the 2016's.
thecarexpert21 There's like no backseat space, so it's not practical. The S65 AMG will do them good. Beautiful Twin-turbo V12 with like executive backseats? Hell, Garrison can be the unpaid chauffeur and his dad can ride in the back!
Rental companies buy lots of them for their fleets and when they reach a certain mileage, they sell them for cheap at auctions which is why the resale value is garbage.
+Billy William I dont know much about them, I've always been a fan of the Sportback versions though. They seem to be pretty cheap on the used market, as far as reliability Im not too sure.
+ThinkOutsideTheCube I don't think that reliability is an issue at all. I have a 2002 lancer ES and it has surpassed our expectations. We got it in 2004 with low miles (can't remember exactly how many miles it had). It was passed down to me when I was 16 and I'm 18 now. It is BULLETPROOF OMG. It now has 283,000 miles on it and it still has the original engine as transmission in it. Needless to say, the car has been great to us. The lancer also won an award for being the most reliable car in 15 years.
hi nice review love Lexus es too. i want to ask your opinion on a car i am getting first car and i want to know what to choose i stuck between an 2003 range rover and 2005 bmw 745li so which one would you choose and why
+IsaiahLexus My family has a 2005 Mini Cooper Convertible which is made by BMW. It's been nothing but trouble. We've replaced convertible top latches, some of the front suspension etc. Really fun car, but too unreliable for a first car. I've heard that era of BMW is the same.

I’d get an IS250/350 any day over the ES for that reason. So boring.
Nice ES350. I've always been a fan of that generation for a road trip car. Quick too!
Like all the cars. Here's the order I like them in from worst to best.
7. Altima (it's still a nice car though)
6. CR-V
5. ES350
4. Sequoia
3. Sienna
2. Commander
1. 4Runner
Also, my cousin just picked up a 2015 Sienna Limited with all the tech options. The sticker was over $47,000- it's basically a Lexus at that point.
My family had a 2007 sequoia SR5 in the rare Blusteel Metallic color. It had every option for the SR5 with the exception of rear seat entertainment and nav. No issues at all, we only had 88,000 miles when we traded it for a 2014 Highlander. Fantastic car :)
My family always had Dodge , Chevrolet but we will be getting a 2015 Nissan Rogue
10:06 my favorite is a toyota sienna 2013 but the year toyota sienna that i like a 2007 toyota sienna LE 8 passenger with alloy wheels
Both my Aunty and Uncle have Honda CRV’s, my uncle has the 2015 CRV and my Aunty has the 2007 CRV
My friend has a 2003 saturn ion 3 with 250,000 miles and showing almost zero wear
Holy crap! You're Garrison from Massey Toyota! I knew that voice sounded familiar 😂😮
Are you garrison at Massey Toyota
Honda Accord Guy 05 yes he is
Nice video Garrison. I had a 2012 Altima that I hated with a passion. I finally was able to trade that in on a 2015 Civic and have never looked back.
+Troy Martin Congrats on the 2015 Civic, What are your thoughts on the 2016?

+ER B (hondaftw1234) I like that LED headlight accents, but thats about it.
+ThinkOutsideTheCube lol me too
Happy thanksgiving! For some reason i just love yours and Brooks' thanksgiving/christmas startup.
Are you also gonna do one for christmas?
+cardudes Probably not

+© Maxxtruck9906 That sounds pretty crafty of you! Thanks man
really wish I could do something like this but I don't think my family would let me but nice review of all the cars the sequoia is my favorite
+DavidsCarReviews Thanks!
"Worth basically nothing 13k" lol. That's definitely more than nothing!
Probably sounds like nothing if they bought it new.
I like the 4Runner the best

Awesome video Garrison! It was great, and I thought I'd ask you what your thoughts are on the 2016 Civic?
+DriveFast22 Thanks! My thoughts on the 2016 Civic aren't very positive. It just looks like a melted ILX. All the curves and droopy front styling won't look too good 10 years from now. Personally I'd much rather get the cheaper Corolla, a 2013 Civic or just buy the classier ILX.

Brother's car 2013 Toyota 4runner SR5 and Sister's car 2014 Honda C-RV.
I had no idea you could get push button start on a Sienna until I saw yours and brorowcarwiz's video.
I didn't either, because my grandmother has a 2014 Sienna. It's a base model, so it doesn't have push button start. Only as I started looking up reviews of these more loaded Siennas, that was when it occurred to me that my grandmother's Sienna is a base model.

If there is a Volkswagen dealership near you, can you make a video on a new Jetta 1.8 sport?

1:18 know exactly how you feel. And with the same car too.
I guess in NC you just park in each other's lawns for thanksgiving
Pretty much
+CooperSCaleb05 That's how we do it in NC!
Fantastic video!!!
+jmalibu0326 Thanks man!
my grand father had a lexus es i think it was this year 2007-2012 yeah that was my grandfathers car
Well i was not able to do one for thanksgiving this year since we were at my uncle for thanksgiving this year. But my family is having Christmas eve at our house this year. So i hope that i can do Christmas Eve cold starts this year.
+Steven Lebbing Looking forward to it
I like the Nissan altima
That 2014 Altima though. ;)
Does your Dad like the new Maxima? What do you and your Dad think about it? #maximasquad?
+Hector O Haha, he's a fan of the looks but would never spend that kinda money on a Nissan. I'm sure if they had some steep incentives he'd consider one.

Who’s car is the 2013 Toyota Sienna XLE in this video?
I think your father should consider a Mercedes AMG GT S to replace the Altima. It might be a little over his budget though.
+thecarexpert21 I'll mention it to him. Might be worth looking into for the smooth ride and great MPG!
+thecarexpert21 Why not a E63 AMG or CLS 63 AMG? Keep the 4 doors, you know?
+Michael Lee better yet, why not a CLA45? I hear it's got an ultra smooth ride. Great for going over large potholes and stuff.
thecarexpert21 There's like no backseat space, so it's not practical. The S65 AMG will do them good. Beautiful Twin-turbo V12 with like executive backseats? Hell, Garrison can be the unpaid chauffeur and his dad can ride in the back!
+thecarexpert21 Yes all The A class platform mercedes have a smooth ride! It is as soft as a supermarket cart!
I don’t pay for pinstripes or other dealer installed options.
Hey brorowcarwiz is this you???
+brorowcarwiz 'yota hub
+brorowcarwiz i guess your twin brother
How does Nissan selling to rental fleets lower it's resale value? I don't understand. Toyota sells to rental companies and holds higher resale value.
Rental companies buy lots of them for their fleets and when they reach a certain mileage, they sell them for cheap at auctions which is why the resale value is garbage.
The wood grain in the Lexus is gorgeous. So just a random question. What do you think about the 2002 - 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer ?
+Billy William I dont know much about them, I've always been a fan of the Sportback versions though. They seem to be pretty cheap on the used market, as far as reliability Im not too sure.

You forgot to start up the jeep commander
hi nice review love Lexus es too. i want to ask your opinion on a car i am getting first car and i want to know what to choose i stuck between an 2003 range rover and 2005 bmw 745li so which one would you choose and why
+IsaiahLexus Unless you're getting an extended warranty or service contract, neither. Both will be extremely unreliable electronics wise.
Okay so what do you recommend i want something premium and a suv or midsize to large sedan
+IsaiahLexus Lexus ES/LS, Acura RL/TL, Lexus GX, etc
