New ES350 Owner w/pics
Hi All,
I am very happy to finally get my ES350. I have wanted one for a few years and the situation was finally right for me to get it. This is our second Lexus as my wife has an RX330 so now we are a two Lexus family!
I have only 300 miles thus far on Black Velvet and so far everything is great. I have most of the options on the car except the ML Stereo/Panoramic Roof, and Dynamic Radar Cruise.
I am still figuring out the nav and stereo and despite what my salesman said it is still a bit less intuitive and more difficult to use than my Honda/Acura Nav/stereo. I am sure I will learn it in time.
One note I don't like is on the Sat radio display I can only see the Title info or the list of Channels but not both. I am used to seeing both things on my Honda display. Of course I had full access to all menus while in motion on the Honda
but everything else is simply amazing.
The power shade is very nice, I use the parking sensors every time I pull into the garage, keyless entry is the best, etc
I am MOST excited about the power tilt wheel - I just love to watch it extend and contract every time and the tactile feel of the steering wheel is just so satisfying. The ride is the smoothest and quietest of any vehicle I have ever owned.
So in summary, I will probably have many more questions but I am extremely satisfied with my Lexus.
Thanks, John

Is there a way to have the Nav screen show Sat channels & the song title info at the same time?
It drives me crazy to not see both in the view I have on my Honda nav screen.

Now you need to paint the inside of your exhaust tips brilliant RED . I did and that was about 2500 miles ago and they are still very RED !!! Used brake caliper paint--had some left over after painting the calipers RED. Anyway, not much to do to these cars for an old cheap hot rodder, so allow me some fun, guys. Does look good !!
