Congratulations mikeys350 and nightkid (xu)!
Xu, what country do you live in? The bottom of your front bumper looks different from the US ES, did you modify it?

Thanks! I'm actually getting the window tint done right now before heading to work. Should make it look a lot better also! Depending on how much I can sell my wifes equinox for, I might be getting some new rims for it also.

2013 / 9000C ES350 4-dr sedan
I have the Premium model in Silver with Black interior. First luxury car for me; been a pickup truck kind of gal most of my life.
In my search for the right first luxury car for me, I knew my key criteria were Comfort and Quiet, for more or less $600 a month.
I started test driving with the ES350 by pure chance. Everything else after was judged by Lexus standards. I tried all the native cars, and all the imports, in the luxury sedan class. Preferring large or generous midsize.
Overall experience with final test drive, selection and purchase was great and , bottom line, the car is just lovely to drive.
I took a 3 yr lease @ 18k miles per year, keeping my paid for 2006 Honda Ridgeline truck to cover the remaining 10k miles that my history says I will drive.
On the chance I decide to buy it at the end of the lease, i made the investment into both the Xpel rock guard film on the front bumper, half the hood, mirror housings. Also I went for the simonize glasscoat in/out.
After reading the forums here, I am probably getting an aftermarket remote starter from tried and trusted local guy; $400 instead of $600. I will review with him, and the dealer (both) first, the reported differences in range. I am accustomed to starting my truck from as much as 50' away.
My lease lmileage works out to 49 miles a day. That's going to be tough to live with!! I am already at least two days in the hole, and my first week just ended!
Here's to many safe happy miles on the tires!

I've come from a long line of owning Honda's last one was a 2012 Crosstour EXL, but felt it time to step up my game. I'm so swept away from the quality, fit and finish that I'm awe smacked every time I drive it. So happy to be a Lexus owner, hope to find a good home here.

Took my wifes car to get the spoiler put on yesterday morning. I think the spoiler cleans up the rear and glad I got the dealer to throw it in free with our purchase.

Exterior color is gorgeous when clean, but be warned, it dirties-up almost as easily as black!!
Enjoy!!
