If you like the ES so much, you must check out a UL model with the ML stereo system. Not only do you get an upgraded leather and better sound system, the double sunroof lightens up the interior.

Optional Sunshade? Thought all vehicles that have moonroofs have sunshades. Not everyont wants the sun beaming down on their forhead. But did not know it was optional.

But yeah I did like the ES loaner I recieved, and If I was in the market for a new car, the ES 350 would be on my list. But the glass roof I think shouldnt be only restricted to ultra luxury models.

I think MD350 was referring to the rear window power sunshade, which is optional on the ES350.

Oh HaHa! That makes sense!

Thanks for clearing that up for me

As an owner of an ES350 I love the gas mileage. I'm getting 26 mpg around town and 32 on the highway (using 87 octane).

That's excellent for such a large car with 274 hp.

Since I have a model with the glass roof I'm glad it's restricted to the UL model, I've also noticed several 2nd Gen GS owners have traded their cars for ES350

Hehe, I keep telling my dad to replace the Van with the ES350. We already have the 2ES (which I love the exterior) so this one would fit right in with my ES and my mums RX
