ES350, 4000 miles, white with cashmere interior that was pretty dirty (glad I have black!)

ES350 is not sporty at all IMO and did feel like an older person's car....but I was just happy to get the free loaner car and glad I was able to try the ES350.

If you're 65 it's probably really nice... but it is really really boring to drive... I much prefer driving my mom's 01 rx300.

Got a ES 350 today.
Very surprised on how smooth the ride was.A nice car but a bit boring to drive but I'd love an ES 350 to be parked next to the IS in the garage.
Maybe someday soon.

The RX hybrid owns. Do they offer IS250 MT?
