I bought this car 2 days ago. I drive mostly in suburban NJ and Manhattan. The ride is the smoothest and quietest I have ever been in. While I am not a hige hybrid fan, the lexus is an exception. In sport mode, the car moves really quickly. I junked an Acura TL to move up to the ES 300h and am happy with my decision thus far.

Rush Limbaugh I guess not a lot since this car is a hybrid, it should consume a lot less than the others.

It is a sweet car, but wait until you drive a Lexus LS. Then you really know what a smooth and quiet drive means, but of course, it is drinks a lot of gas.

I’m getting a 2013 es300h, very low miles. Going to have it inspected. It’s funny that I have to watch an ancient video like this to get information about a car I’m getting. I’m not paying these new car prices at these interest rates though. Funny how things like drive modes were a novel idea back in 2012. 😂

3:50 , not a lean burn engine but an Atkinson cycle engine, which I'm 95% sure still keeps the stoichimetric fuel:air ratio but reduces pumping losses by keeping the Intake valve open a bit past bottom dead center. Hopefully true lean burn will come back in 2015 or so in combo with Atkinson cycle for a truly innovative engine

It's exactly the same. About $2,000 difference from my understanding, and you have a hybrid synergy drive instead of basic engine. Would go with the Hybrid, you get 10 MPG better etc and the throttle/torque isen't too different from the regular gas engine when i test drove both cars yesterday.

Not sure what "lane keep" is, but it does have front and side radar. I bought mine on the 9th and it will often beep to alert me to getting close to things in my garage when I'm parking it on the front, sides, and back (in addition to the backup camera). It does have blinds-spot indicators on each side mirror.

I own a 2009 Lexus ES 350 Regular Gas engine. I got a loaner from Lexus which was their new 2016 Lexus ES 350 which felt like it was a completely different car. It felt down on power, steering wasn't as responsive, and most of all coming from one of the most comfortable cars I've ever driven (My Lexus ES350) The New ES350 felt a lot stiffer and trying too hard to be sporty while also TRYING to be luxurious. I wouldn't recommend the New ES350.

There's only one problem with these type of car: They overprice them waaaaay too much. It's bad enough they are an overpriced Camry on wheels, but with a hybrid on top of that. I dunno if this ar will attract many people because of the price sticker shock, but I" have been wrong before though so ya never know..
