Bet you are enjoying the responsiveness to the gas pedal!

And the wooden steering wheel..

Lovely, congratulations. I understand the mpg pain compared to ct200h. But you will love the ES quietness and interior room

Congrats on your new ES..... Pretty sure your gonna love that car.. don't know what kind of gas mileage you are expecting on the ES, but I recently made a 1200 mile round trip and I think I topped out at about 32 mpg driving about 75... that's not bad... I'm sure it isn't as good as you got in your hybrid, but 32+ aint bad... congrats again.

How does the CT compare to the ES? I was thinking of picking up a used CT with the older style grille as a second car.

@ Chromedome... My CT was great especially with its great mpg which I average around 42 mpg and it tops at 11.9 gallons. The only reason it went away was we needed a car that offers more leg room for my 2 young boys and the ES has that.

If mpg is of such concern to you - why did you go with ES350 and not ES300h? Price difference seems to be minimal - especially on the preowned market.

none was available at the time of purchase with the exterior & interior preference but I’m satisfied with the ES, just anwering questions with the other posts.
