2008 Lexus Es

Pros: Soft, quiet ride, Reasonable price, Lots of nice options, Reliable, getting 27MPG
Cons: Front end could be more stylish.

I have purchased 3 Lexus ESs (one each ES300, 330 and 350) through the years and l just love my car.  I put a lot of miles on each year (approx. 20K) and generally have kept the cars for about 4 years each.  I do the regular maintenance and have never had any problems with any of the Lexus vehicles, which unfortunately I cannot say about any of the 4 American cars I owned prior.

I'm a quality analyst and very detail oriented.  I'm sensitive to the feel of the ride and sounds such as small rattles and wind noise.   The liquid filled engine mounts which stop vibrations should be used on every car!  The Lexus ES car is a well-built, reliable car with many nice attributes (heated/ac seats, navigation system, premium sound, remote keyless entry, push bottom start, dual exhaust, rain sensing wipers) all for a reasonable price.  It is an entry-level luxury vehicle - the best of both worlds.  It’s luxury without breaking the bank.  Did I mention the 272-horse power engine, 6-speed auto transmission that gets 27MPG!
