Gail, I have 2500 miles on my ES350, I have veered back and forth between "wish i had never bought this car" and "guess I could have done worst" . Its sad but honestly, Im less impressed with this car at this early point in ownership than I have been with any of my other 14 new car purchases excepthing a 1980 Buick.
Its not a bad car, really a pretty nice ride but little disappointments add up and it doesnt have that one great feature that overrides the little faults such as very soft clear coat causing swirl marks simply drying it off, tranny flare, chips like crazy-every little pebble causes a chip, wind noise worst than 2002 altima i traded in,
trunk a little small, nothing major just disappointments. On the other hand, looks great from a distance, bright sunlights causes a wet like shine, sport mode tranny makes for a fun drive, plenty of gadgets to impress your friends, quality click to all buttons, moving headlights a real plus, backup camera in nav system
a quick "how did I ever get along without this?". I think if you can live with lifes little disappointments the deal you are getting is a good one- you are protected by a strong warranty- I see no down side if you plan on keeping it a few years and trading it in.
