If you don't want to read my posts guys, the forum has an ignore feature. When I feel like I have something to contribute, I'm going to do that.

AlexNY, you might consider test driving a 2019 ES350. It's cabin is very well insulated from engine noise and vibration. Both its handling and ride comfort (especially the 17" wheel & tire versions) are very noiticably improved compared to your 2015 ES.

Agreed, lots of good changes in the 2019.

We took a 2019 ES for a test drive and it definitely felt more solid than our 2015, but the ride comfort and noise levels didn’t seem markedly improved. The 2019 was a base level hybrid with 17” wheels. Our 2015 hybrid also has 17” wheels so I would think the comparison is about as close as possible. Our drive wasn’t really extensive enough to have any opinion on the handling.

i'm sure it's better, but no way in hell i'm dropping close to $50k for a f sport model ES. i'd much rather buy a 2015 cpo gs350 for around $26k~$30k.

Now there's gotta be more to that story. Who on earth gets a loaner and ends up putting 9K miles on the thing?

I will say, having both a 2013 RX and 2013 ES, that my ES feels a little smoother.

Someone who works in two different states.

And I happened to have a heavier than normal work load during those two months.

I usually put 30k-40k miles per year on my DD. I have had my 2017 ES in service for 9 months and I have 30k miles on it already.
