I keep going back in my mind to the TLX seat comfort, but still think Lexus has an edge in quality and a classic 6-cylinder ICE.

I really like it. I'm only 5'10" but have long legs. I had the extenders on my '14 and '16 Avalon's. When they re-designed the Avalon in '19 they dropped the extender along with a number of other options. The center console was also hideous in the re-design. When that happened I looked at the ES and haven't looked back.

Also, no spare tire means towing service (I'm very lucky getting puncture tires). Lastly, MPG & premium fuel vs regular; and $4k more in price.
