I'm the proud owner of 2013 ES 300h black exterior and black interior. love the upgrade from my 2004 IS300. I don't miss the sporty feel much at all and in fact I just turn the **** to sport if I feel the need to go faster! I'm really loving the 37.5 MPG I'm averaging so far.

Congratulations jmaloneydo, I have an ES 300h also and love it. I have had a couple GS, an RX, a SC, and an LS and I like the 2013 ES the most.

Picked up my ES350 Saturday January 12TH. Luxury package with Nav, parking assist, rain sensor, 18" wheels, blind spot monitor. Nebula Gray Pearl with Black interior.

Had to order from their expected inventory. The car was still on the ship and took 10 days to get delivery.

Default Took delivery last week

300H Ultra
Ordered mid September 12 so almost 4 month wait
Paid $2500 off MSRP
Mileage since last refill 42.6 mpg
Had three LS prior to this one. A bit more road feel of course from the 300 but quiet and solid
4th generation Toyota hybrid technology is amazing

Thanks,

No $600. charge added to my car. Think they're giving you the business - screwing you.

I would like to say the same, but I have had little opportunity to drive the wife's 300h. I drove it home, and again Tuesday night to the dealer for a dinner event they hosted. She will be going out of town in a couple of weeks so maybe I can drive it then. I am anxious to use the sport mode.

Question

Greetings Fellow ES owners,
I've had the pleasure of driving our es300h since last October 2012, almost 10,000 odometer miles as of this writing. It was one of the first two that arrived in Las Vegas, NV dealership. One was an Obsidian and the other was Starfire Pearl. My wife like the Starfire Pearl color so much (we had '00 RX300, '07 RX350 and '012 ct200h F Sport in starfire pearl) so we stuck with the same color with an all black parchment interior. It's got heated front seats, Nav system, lane departure alert sys, parking sensor, rear camera, rain sensor, regular Lexus audio sound sys (please, anybody know the brandname?), etc.
It does not have an HID or LED headlamp just the regular halogen lamp incl, the foglamps. I'd like to convert the headlights to, preferrably, LED system, can someone help me out there?
Sorry, I don't know how to attach a pic of the vehicle.

I can't help you with LED fog lights but here is a link to a HID fog light DIY:

I just traded in my 2010 IS-F on a matador red/black interior ES300h a few days ago. And I feel the same way. I don't miss that bumpy ride at all. I can actually sip my coffee now driving down the interstate! And double the gas mileage is icing on the cake.

Upgraded the wife/family mobile to a ES350 (Luxury, Nav, HID, blind spot packages) on super bowl sunday



I have a lightweight 2005 Evo towed only road race car (left) and a 2008 Evo sleeper with 380awhp running E85.

I received my ES300h January 12, 2013.
Placed order with dealership in December 15 and expected arrival in mid-January. What anticipation and excitement when the auto arrived!
So What is in it?
Nebula Grey with Parchment interior
HDD Navigation
Luxury Package
Power Rear Sunshade
Blind Spot Monitor
Intuitive Parking Assist
Rain-sensing wipers w/ deicer
8 miles ODO reading

Love the look, feel and handling, currently have 978 miles and will be filling up the second tank in the coming days.
readouts on the display and dash is 38mpg average deploying the ECO mode and yes, conscious of driving smart and safe consider those around me. this vehicle is just to drive local and very limited commuting just to the train transits.
I previously owned 2001 ES300 Coach Edition and have handed it to family for their aspiring drives.

Thanks ClubLexus members new and seasoned!
