oleoleole 2nd Gear May 14, 2022 Share May 14, 2022 Hihi, Test drove an used unit, as well as brand new at Borneo, for both ES250 and ES300H. For ES250, sorry but the pick-up performance is unacceptable for me. So not gonna comment anymore on this 2.5L NA variant. For ES300H, pick up and cruising is enjoyable with the additional hybrid battery. But a few deal-breakers for me 1. The touch sensor pad and infotainment system - not user friendly and too sensitive. Hard to maneuver esp while driving. 2. Terrible resolution of the reverse cam. 3. The driver instrument cluster seems dated Don't get me wrong, I stil think the ES ia a fantastic looking car, with superb sound insulation and premium cabin quality. I jus feel at this price range, there are many other options to consider. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bioinformatics 3rd Gear May 15, 2022 Share May 15, 2022 @oleoleole more or less i got same eval. But since comfort is my top priority, this car is best choice at that moment of time. I tested c180,c200,a4,a5. Do share with my your other eval results as well and ended up choose what car. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bioinformatics 3rd Gear May 15, 2022 Share May 15, 2022 @oleoleole and also i look at their profit margin. Merc audi no $80k profit no talk. Lexus profit $40k. 😄 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannnn 4th Gear May 15, 2022 Share May 15, 2022 (edited) @BioinformaticsA5 profit margin was ard 20k or so ... havent even bargain. 160k when coe was 40k. but its not a "comfortable" ride, as the susp was stiff.

If you want really modern infotainment, then you should look at used 5 series. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat_slayer 4th Gear May 17, 2022 Share May 17, 2022 @oleoleole The face lifted ES (4Q 2021) has a touch screen infotainment system which is moved nearer to the driver. However, it is still unable to read Chinese characters. The BMW ID7 is more tech advanced Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No test E200, E250, BMW 5 series? Your test drives models r smaller than the ES series leh. Kinda oranges to apples comparison. Yeah, ES is good to be ferried around. Comfy seats but drive lack that "fun" factor though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knighthunter 3rd Gear May 29, 2022 Share May 29, 2022 (edited) @Spurman GS model was the best in Lexus, very similar to E200/520 or with more powerful option with all models RWD.

Compare the value , in terms price, feel, fuel, pulse ... not forgetting of 3-5 years ownership. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If comfort then LS or RX types aka 7 series, S class ... If value for money I will choose ES if money not an issue then 540 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
