I am presented with the option to purchase a 2007 ES350 VS 2011 ES350. So would like to know what are the major difference. They look the same at a glance

2007 was the first model year for this gen of ES350 and the 2010 was the first after the mid-cycle refresh. There are differences with the interiors and exteriors some are subtle but IMO the 2010 is an improvement. The main difference is most of the first year glitches/problems had been worked out. How many miles on each car?

I'm looking to get one but mainly looking at the 10-12. I like the trim upgrade with the upgraded non sticking steering wheel compared to the 07-09.

07-09 has Bluetooth for phone only. 10-12 has it for phone apps too. I hate having to use an aux cord on my 09.

I always suggest to folks looking to purchase a 11 or 12 model to look at the 13s because it's going to look much less dated in a few years.

I have an 11 ES. I personally prefer the 5th gen so anything 10 thru 12 will be a good choice IMO.

Go with the later model. Five years to work out all the bugs. I have had both.
Good oluck.

I've got a 2008 ES 350 with 198,500 miles on it. NEVER one problem! Still runs line a brand new one and still gets 29-30 mpg on long trips!!

Agreed, I have a 2010 model and its cosmetic changes to the 2010 look much than the than the 07-09 and there are a few different upgrades on the 2010 model,( updated navigation, standard USB port, etc)go with a 2011 because it doesn't require premium gas like my 2010 does.
