Hi!

I'm new to Lexus, considering ES model.

Any drivers 6'2 and above, preferable long torso? Do you find your ES comfortable to drive?

How's the visibility?

I am 6:4 and have plenty of leg and headroom. Seat is fully back and person sitting behind me has leg room.

That's great to hear! Thanks!

I'll make an appointment for a test drive, hope car fits me well.

Make sure you read my comment under maintenance cost by manufacturer. I would never own another manufacturer other than a Lexus. The maintenance on the ES is easy. Every 10000 miles change the oil. Every 30000 miles change the brake fluid. At 120000 miles change spark plugs and coolant. No timing belt and no transmission fluid change.

I'm also 6'4" and have no issues with fit in the ES. You may want to consider a UL optioned ES to get the cushion extender. Not sure why that is only offered on the UL, but it's well worth it for people over 6'.

^^^ Totally agree with Mike.
Make sure to test drive an Ultra Luxury package car for the extending seat bottom. It makes a huge difference in comfort for taller drivers. I feel that the regular seats are too short and not as comfortable (I'm only 6' tall).

Hello,

I am 6'2'' and the car is very comfortable. just make sure you do get a model with a cushion extender, it has made the long drives very comfy.

cheers

I am 6'4", 230 and more long legged. I sit back pretty far. The headroom and legroom are very good. I am back so far the arm rest on the door runs out and my elbow hangs off a bit. The arm rest could be wider and wish the window sill was wider to put my arm up there. I dont have the seat extender. I dont feel like it is needed. I save two modes, the one above for the coubtry road cruising and a closer up setting for sporty driving in traffic.
