to me the 05's interior/exterior looks very dated. Love the redesign, but that of course isn't an option price wise. I realize that it is quite a transition, but it's the only car at this price point that checks the majority of my boxes. Comfortable, well appointed, decent milage, moderately attractive, and the most important: reliable. Who knows I'm still on the fence. I've got a couple weeks to decide, but right now I'm feeling like it might be the best option. Thank you all for the feedback, its all been very helpful. I would love to see a continuation of the jerky/no big deal/they didn't fix **** it sucks poll though...

It;'s been 10 years since the last Lexus ES with this issue was sold as new. I understand the pain that those guys went through after paying $30K for a car with shift shock . But I think most of those cars have been past on to their second owners . . . like me. It doesn't bother me much since I only paid a fraction of what they paid.
But I still don't know much about the issue. I guess that is good for Lexus.
They must have hoped that people would forget it as time passes.
But they probably lost a group of of "returned" buyers.
