Here's a new twist for the forum. Who has great stories to share about their new ES 350? I'll start. I have a 3/07 build, Black/Black, the $38,202 setup. I have owned Avalon, Camry, Accord, Legacy, Jetta, Sentra, and after 2500 miles, this is the best car I have ever bought. Best transmission ever, smoothest acceleration, quietest everything, and well-balanced overall performance. A few little quirky things (leather seats have some burrs-being addressed; lousy Michelin OEM tires-being addressed) but for me a great buy and a car I am most proud to own and drive. On the transmission, I did find it has a certain set of behaviors, and it does require some finesse to manage. But since I have adapted to ITS characteristics, it has rewarded me in spades. Important not to simply mash the pedal. And the manual option is second to none. Anyone else?

It is a lot of car for the money. I personally love the NAV system. The pick up is very good once you get past that 1 second delay. That power with such great gas mileage..what a deal!! I also love the glass roof on the UL package, it makes the car stand out among the rest. It also looks fantastic when open.
