A4 :) The turbo really makes a difference for low end and es250 is a heavy car. Wife just comment this morning (her first time driving the new car), old car is faster ^^" Anyway getting old, es250 us really telling me chill man, drive and relax. PS: the 360 camera is a life saver as I am not used to large sedans. ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway our roads are super crowded these days with many PHVs who also anyhow chiong. Tougher to drive fast in town and peak hours. Yup I guess ES only interest older folks? The German counterparts (with turbo) wins straight down in terms or power... I saw one youngster driving a ES250 at Changi Jewel 1+ week ago though :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was offered CatE at 40K (CATB at 38,602) I took it without going into bidding. Collected my ES250 luxury yesterday, so far so good. Getting used to the weird infotainment system... How you find the ML sound system? So lucky that they offer you cat E coe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panggou 1st Gear September 23, 2019 Share September 23, 2019 There is almost nothing online for ES? I tried searching for stuff, didn’t find anything nice locally, not even floor mats... Anything current owners added to their ES, do sic. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I quite like the ES but I like my cars fast and responsive around town too. Hi hi. I was concern too about torque especially but when I tested the ES twice on different days I kindda like the torque with the help of the electric motor from the hybrid setup. Its been 10 months now and 30,400 km later I am still enjoying the ES. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was initially looking at ES300h executive then my "bosses" insisted they want the luxury version so ended up ES250 luxury... Didnt wanna folk out more for ES300h luxury ^^".

Fast and spacious The GS is the least spacious in its class (MB E-class, BMW 5-series, Audi A6) and especially so compared to the palatial ES. Rear leg room is barely enough and my 1.65m daughter's hair is against the headlining when sitting in the centre rear seat. The GS250 is not that fast also. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another turbo owner converting to ES. On paper acceleration specs are similar between the 2 so there shouldn't be much change. Apple carplay can be retrofitted. I did that for my IS200t by replacing the screen. The ES is still too new I guess so I don't think it's available. Moreover, you will void warranty if you change anything. Just enjoy the ride ba 👍🏻 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
