Had a ton of trouble with front seat comfort - had to trade it in after only 4 mos. Even my daughter's Sonata was more comfortable. Did everything i could to rectifiy - even had firmer cushions put into driver seat. Others have had the same issue. see full Lexus ES review |

Most awful front seats i have ever experienced in 40 yrs of driving. I have done everything i can to make it comfortable. Even had extra firmer padding added to the driver seat. Pain in my leg and lower back is unbearable - check forums for Lexus owners - seems to be a problem with taller men and even some women. Never ever had a problem like this in any car i have had or driven. Strange issue. see full Lexus ES review |

If tall person sits in front seat, rear seat will not have a lot of legroom. Otherwise, very comfortable. Poor interior lighting in rear (front is bad, too, but slightly better). see full Lexus ES review |

While not the fastest car in the world ... it certainly packs a punch when you push into higher RPMs. Highway passing is a breeze. see full Lexus ES review |

Transmission occasionally "slips" or "flares" when upshifting, resulting in power sag. Torque converter thunks/bangs occasionally when driver lifts gas pedal just after up shift and then presses again. Somewhat slow downshift,but avoidable via sport mode see full Lexus ES review |
