My sister just traded in her 2014 ES 350 for the 2017 ES 350. Plus Lexus took 4K off the price in Vegas. I guess they wanted to get the 2017 out for the 2018. Also I really like the way you do your videos. You show a lot more then other people do. GREAT JOB !!!
I had one of these as a loaner and couldn't believe how smooth it was, the seats were also some of the most comfortable I've ever been in, it definately doesn't handle corners and curves even close to as good as the GS though. But much more comfortable in my opinion.
I have a 2005 Lexus ES330. Reliable as hell, and I've never had to take to the shop other than for regular service. If I got another car, I'm likely going to keep my current car in the family, or, for a project vehicle.
SWEET! I tell people all the time that their Lexus will probably outlast them and they will usually give them or sell them to family members. Thank you for the contribution and have a great day! Brock
At 21:16 ...." You're gonna drive it in regular drive almost 100% of the time, but in case you're at a cocktail party, you can tell your friends your car has sequential shifting".... HAHHAHAHA! Brock, you're hilarious!!!
Thank you for the feedback! I am so glad that you found this helpful and I'd love for you to let me know what you think about my other videos. Have a wonderful day! Brock
Have you purchased your 2017 ES yet? I just purchased mine yesterday in bronze (chocolate brown) color. It's beautiful!! Got mine at auction. I love it!! Good luck with yours!
Hi Brock, really enjoy your reviews! In fact, it is because of you I bought my pre owned 2017 Lexus ES350. My only issue with this vehicle is that I can't get the seat high enough to feel comfortable looking out over the rather high dash. I like to sit a bit higher, so I use a cushion to boost me up, which is a headache. I cannot imagine any way that the seat could go higher, but I do know that if there WAS a way, you would know it, so I have to ask! :o)
Is there an all wheel drive option for the ES? I do not like front wheel drive. Currently in a 2015 GS 350 F Sport. 2nd one. Lease is coming up and not sure if I should get a 3rd GS. Probably will. I like the fun factor with the luxury combined.
Thank god the wood is wood. The new Honda pilot had wood looking stickers on the armrest. I don't know why manufacturers make it so obvious the cost cutting. Might as well just use a soft grained plastic.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I have been with Lexus / Toyota for 13 years and I am more convinced every single day that the brands are the best in the world. Thank you again for your kindness and I hope you come back soon! Have a wonderful day! Brock Frady Flow Lexus of Greensboro
On The RX 350 , in the dash next to the 12 volt outlet and the slot for a phone . There is a little door that flips down to reveal a ??? And what does the F actually stand for , Flagship , Fast or is it just a letter used for a certain package. And thanks again for doing these videos. And say hello to McLintock for me.
Good question. You might want to turn off your main headlights while leaving the daytime running lights on. You should see the daytime LED's on at that point. If so, I think this is what you mean by ornament lights.
Great question! That really depends on what kind of driver you are and what kind of driving you will be doing. If you will have multiple passengers and need leg room - ES350. Not many people riding with you and you like to carve the roads occasionally? IS200t. I have had both vehicles - I currently drive a 2016 IS200t FSport and I LOVE it. But, I may be going back to an ES350 soon simply because I need a little more room. Thanks for the question! Brock
I love the way he's going on with all these nifty cool "intelligent" features that I already have on my 2015 Hyundai Sonata--for half the price. Oh, and I have electronic parking brake, (real) panoramic sunroof (whole roof is glass) and "Auto Hold," which maintains the car in one spot when I take my foot off the brake so that I don't roll when parked on steep hills. Heated REAR seats too.
lol for sure sonata have alot of features it would be funny if i compare it with the camry or altima..i bet 2017 sonata (base model) have more features than a fully loaded camry xD .. I bought one last week i like everything about it except the engine sound sometimes specially in a cold day
John Grabowski Your Hyundai Sonata is not the only car that has those features. Lexus also provides many features. Plus, your Sonata does not compete with this car. This not the Ultra Luxury, so it does not have all the features. The panoramic sunroof is available. The build and luxurious interior is way put together than your Sonata, so stop acting like your Sonata is better than a Lexus, or any other car. Your comparing a High-end Luxury brand to a Non-luxury brand sir, so of course your getting more for a cheaper price.
+D.J. Wheaton There are features the Sonata has that even the top ES doesn't. I went to a Lexus dealer before I bought the Sonata and asked. That's how I know. And Lexus' "panoramic" roof is just two regular sunroofs, one front, one back, both manually operated, not a true glass roof, like on the Porsche Targa, which I have. Lexus ES doesn't have auto collision braking, power sunroof cover, power folding mirrors, paddle shifters, autostop, side sunshades, HUD or heated rear seats. That's a fact. So how is it "better put together"? I have leather (seats more more comfy too; ES seats have no bolstering) I have the same materials on the dash and door (I checked), same material in center stack. Don't have real wood but don't really care. If $500 in real wood is a reason for you paying $10K more, go for it.
My mom has the ultra luxury package, with the panoramic sunroof, and it has the 18 inch alloys. And in pearl white it is a stunner
+Kobe Morris That IS a beauty! I especially love those wheels in the Ultra.

Absolutely! Those seats are incredible! Even feel great on a super long trip too!
This is what I wanted when buying the vehicle but got a watered down version thank you so much salesmen aren’t what they used to be
You are so welcome. I’m glad I could help and I hope you enjoy your Lexus!
I just sent this video to my son because you are one of my favorite hosts
Excellent overview. I just purchased this car and this video helped me tremendously! Thanks.
Just purchased the 2016 ES 350...LOVE IT!!!
Fantastic. Love that car - super quiet and solid as a rock! Thanks for stopping by!
Does it have a power folding mirror?

Excellent job of showing all the features of this car.
Thank you so much!!😊
I love Lexus R X 350 2017 it's a nice SUV. I plan to buy one myself can't wait. ..
Great review, I think this is going to age well, in fact better than the new RX.
Good point. The new RX is definitely something that the general public is going to have to get used to...
Love it. I have the 2017 version, and it’s fantastic!
Sorry, 2015!
Awesome! The 2017 is one amazing vehicle.
At 21:16 ...." You're gonna drive it in regular drive almost 100% of the time, but in case you're at a cocktail party, you can tell your friends your car has sequential shifting".... HAHHAHAHA! Brock, you're hilarious!!!
I have the 2017 ES350 with 17.500 miles on it , love my car.
Awesome car!!
Awsome video and it helps explain the knobs functions for newbies.
Thank you for the feedback! I am so glad that you found this helpful and I'd love for you to let me know what you think about my other videos. Have a wonderful day!

Most favorite hostess with the most product knowledge
Awesomeness!! Thank you so much for the kind words!!!
Great review. It’s helped me know what the features are. I just bought this same car in an off white color and love it.
Thank you for a wonderful overview
You are most welcome! Glad I could help you.

Great review!!! Thank you I!
How much would a 2017 es 350 run today with less than 50k miles
Watch out for lightning!
I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT! That did freak me out a little! You should have heard that in person.
this car made in usa
but in ME or Saudi Arabia saled from made in japan
I think best quality from japan because original company
Love it!!!
Is there an all wheel drive option for the ES? I do not like front wheel drive. Currently in a 2015 GS 350 F Sport. 2nd one. Lease is coming up and not sure if I should get a 3rd GS. Probably will. I like the fun factor with the luxury combined.
Great tutorial.
Thank god the wood is wood. The new Honda pilot had wood looking stickers on the armrest. I don't know why manufacturers make it so obvious the cost cutting. Might as well just use a soft grained plastic.
Great Review! How long have you been selling Lexus. You do the perfect walkaround! Well Done!!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I have been with Lexus / Toyota for 13 years and I am more convinced every single day that the brands are the best in the world. Thank you again for your kindness and I hope you come back soon! Have a wonderful day!

HowToCarGuy i just started with Lexus and have watched every on of your lexus videos. Very helpful. Keep it up!
AWESOME! What dealership are you working at?

Well done!
Love the ES :)
Me too, my friend! Thanks for stopping by!

the F stands for Fuji which refers to the Fuji track in Japan where they test all the Lexuses (Lexi?)
How do you set the tripometer?
my Ornament lights are not working while I checked at night. Can you please advise how to make it work? I have Lexus ES350 2018
Good question. You might want to turn off your main headlights while leaving the daytime running lights on. You should see the daytime LED's on at that point. If so, I think this is what you mean by ornament lights.
nice review
Thank you for the props!
striking design compete to the E-class
I like the Nebula Gray and also the silver. I don't like black or white so much.
is only this one have that SCOUNT GPS LINK? Or all of em does?
$40 for those 10 spoke (20 spoke?) wheels is cheap! I am going to rub that in the faces of people who say that Lexus is expensive :I
Heck yes! That almost looks out of place on the window sticker. $40 bucks for a SERIOUS wheel upgrade!
Hey Is there a version with more HP?
Does it have a power folding mirror?
WHAT'S BETTER ES350 OR IS200T?????
Great question! That really depends on what kind of driver you are and what kind of driving you will be doing. If you will have multiple passengers and need leg room - ES350. Not many people riding with you and you like to carve the roads occasionally? IS200t. I have had both vehicles - I currently drive a 2016 IS200t FSport and I LOVE it.

How does it use regular gas?
Regular gas.
Where is the parking brake it keeps saying turn off parking brake idk where it is
my mom just got this car, fully loaded and it doesn't have auto folded mirrors. Why? Even Ford has it
Solo Rider that’s why people get the Gs or the LS!!
The Scout GPS link is a horrific navigation system. It seems like they are devolving with that system. Lexus buyers deserve much better.
Blue sky Day
Lexus would better equip fox's eyes grille
Not a fan of the wheels, but always been a big ES fan. Avalon is a better value IMO.
My 2017 has those wheels, they grow on you....
Looks like the Camry
