Default LC 500 comfortability

Hi all...currently an owner of a late model ES350. Thinking about trading it in for a grand touring model (something fun to drive but comfortable enough for weekend road trips). I know they are totally different cars but can anyone compare/contrast the comfort level of the ES350 vs the LC500 for longer road trips (3-4 hours at a time)? Many thanks for your input...

I sold my 2017 ES350 UL to buy my 2021 LC 500 convertible.

I love both cars. Put 25k/year on the ES as I worked in three states. But I haven’t driven my LC over an hour as I work from now now!

I do the same...have 146,000 miles on a 4 year old car...won't be doing it forever...maybe another year or two so I need to be able to sit for 3 to 4 hours at a time without feeling beat up or saddle sore!

My wife had a 2008 ES350. She loved the car, I hated it. Had to take a trip from Phoenix to Las Vegas in the car, I drove. IMHO, very sloppy handling At the time I had an ISF As far a a long trip, I bought my LC in Nebraska and a friend and I drove it home at night. Took us 20 hours and 30 Minutes back to Phoenix. Very comfortable IMHO. The seats are infinitely adjustable. As far as the suspension, it's adjustable. In it's softest mode it's much better handling then the ES and the ride is very good. I have my suspension set to Sport.

Welcome to the site, lot's of GREAT information here and lot's of GREAT folks to share it with!
