Is it worth it?
At $42,150 before taxes, freight and delivery charges, the 2011 Lexus ES 350 doesn’t come cheap. Those who prefer sporty luxury cars will quickly point out that you can get an all-wheel drive Infiniti G37x or a BMW 328i sedan, however, that’s not the real competition for the ES. This Lexus rivals the Buick LaCrosse, the Nissan Maxima and the Lincoln MKZ.
The Lexus ES 350 is a serenely smooth, whisper-quiet and fluffy luxury sedan. It isn’t particularly exciting, but for those who want a relaxing ride – essentially a capsule that isolates them from this crazy, noisy and technology-driven world – the ES is a solid and reliable choice. Just don’t add any options to it.
