Have 150 miles on new ES350............
So far love it.
No squeaks or rattles.
No cold start ticking, tapping,etc.
Great Enform, SOS may be overkill but 1 yr I will judge.
Love the USB port. 16 B thumb drive and have so far 74 Albums, Folders.
So, So XM Traffic and weather.

Dislikes...........
No overhead lights for garage door buttons, etc.
Audio screen is to busy, I mean should have one function at a time.
Audio screen can't adjust to my likeing, such as brightness, color, etc.
Dealer, salesman was great.

These are just a few comments for anyone looking for new car.
I traded my 2007 ES 350, and also have a 2007 RX 350 with 16,000 miles.
I am very happy with new car and listed are just minor inconveniences.
Hope this info helps someone looking for new car.
Tungsten Pearl with black interior.

 

Congratulations - how do you play music with your USB drive? I tried it once without success and dealer told me it couldn't be done.

No problem at all. Bought 16GB Sandisk Flash drive from Amazon.com. Downloaded MP3, WMA music files from computer.
Plugged Flash drive into USB all folders and music files appeared on screen under USB tab...............
Nice because all folders "Albums", Singers, file numbers show up on screen and you can change folders or songs from steering wheel button. Up/Down button pressed once changes songs and hold down to access next folder "Album"

silly me but where is the usb drive I have an 07 with ML so maybe it does not have a usb connection?
thanks

 

Congratulation on your new car.
Can you do a test for me? Back up the car a long distance (Ex: 30 or 50ft) then stop by put your foot on brake pedal and listen, is there and sound like gear shifting?
Thanks.

 

No noise when backing up with 2011 and proceeding forward.
Had clunk with 2007 when reverse to forward gear, but not with 2007 RX 350.
I think there was some kind of TSB for the 2007 but I got used to it and made sure I came to complete stop before proceeding.
Hope this answers your question..................

USB connection is in center compartment between front seats with AUX jack also. Also auxiliary power plug there.
Probably not on your 07..............................

Victor, you may be hearing the fuel slap in the gas tank. Can happen with a very full tank. Do you get this all the time?

 

Congrats on your new ride, excellent choice!!

 

I know what you mean with the garage door opener light but I hold my hand flat there and theres a little light that shines enough light up for me to see.

What about the leather on the door handles and consol it's alot softer eh?

 

Congrats on your new purchase!! I also have the '11 ES LOVE IT!

 

Why can't you adjust Audio panel brightness and one other color choice through the 'Display' button?

 

congrats on the new car.

 

Congrats on the new ride I love my 2010
