2019 Lexus ES350 F-Sport - One Take
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 09. 2018
- The all-new Lexus ES350 F-Sport is a phenomenal automobile. It is spacious, feels very high quality, smooth, comfortable, and easy. Based loosely on the Toyota Camry but with substantial changes to not only the styling and interior, but also the chassis and structure, the ES350 offers a ton of car for the money. It does have some drawbacks, such as the improved-but-still-awful touch pad interface, and the overly-sensitive driving aid features, but it is a stellar value in the segment.
Lexus of North America provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Thanks everyone for pointing out Zack’s hilarious editing fuckup with the same-colored Honda Accord at 8 minutes. Everyone gets to give him shit today, and me shit for not checking, but goddamn that’s funny.
Shit, I shouldn't have read the comments before I started the vid. I ruined the surprise :(
Should have played it off as an intentional jab at modern car design's derivative nature.
I think it would be funnier if people DIDN'T notice it lmao!
Lmfaoooooo
I had to double take for a sec LOL, I own a 2017 Accord Coupe V6 myself and was like "wait what did I just see?"
My father has a 2006 ES330 with 250,xxx miles on it. I just drove it for the first time in years and it’s still incredibly smooth and quiet. It’s such a great car. I drove it when it was new back when I was in high school/college and put it through absolute hell. So to know it went the distance of the moon without an issue and still feels new is a testament to Lexus.
7:55 that is definitely a 2013-14 Honda Accord Coupe 4 cylinder
ahhh i thought it was just a joke on wheels
hows that check engine light bad hombre
nice and bright probably but i wouldn't know for sure
If it weren’t 3 led head lights, you could have fooled people if you turn high speed of the footage with motion blur.
100% a 2 door accord
I'm here for the Honda Accord fly-bys
I adore the GS-F. That's an awesome car!
Lexus is a brand that's under appreciated a lot. Even their older cars are outstanding!
I've got a 98 GS400 and that's definitely true!
@@dirtysp00ns another buddy of mine has a 99 GS300. Beautifully smooth, and really nice interior. And because it's basically a Toyota underneath, parts are dirt cheap.
The ES250 is awesome
I’ve got a 2000 LS400 and a 2005 LS430 ! I’ve been driving Lexus since the early 90’s ! You’re so right Lexus is under appreciated! Long term reliability and almost zero issues even on older models ! It’s almost like a secret car club for those who want more car for minimal ownership cost. Shhh don’t tell anyone. Lol 😂
I’m 28 and this video made me pull the trigger on one exactly like this thanks man I love it
Lol the Honda Accord cut scene
I can't stop laughing 😂
I mean, I would buy this car. At $45,000 the ES is a bargain. It also looks sharp for the first time since the 3rd gen. This is a solid car for someone like me (late 20’s to early 30’s, offspring(s), wife who owns one of those stupid lifted hatch things, and no desire to own a overpriced BMW or Mercedes.)
I agree. But being FWD based, it would be more of a Acura competiter than MB or BMW. The LS,GS and IS is the direct competitor of a BMW/MB.
Not really sure, I would get a Jag
It’s a gorgeous car in my opinion
Heck yeah
They really good this one right didn't they ? Love it , big Lexus and Toyota fan here .
I must say that this car is just brilliant. The exterior color, interior seats color, build quality is no doubt unbeatable. Quiet and sofisticated ride, with style.
7:55 mistake that accord for the Lexus? Lol
That is so hilarious, when I saw that Honda coupe I started laughing. lol
hahahaha
it's hard for trust fund babies to see the difference.
LOLZ
I can't wait to upgrade to this from my 01 ES300 in fifteen years.
moofree lmao forreal
and thank you for your demo.
what a sweet ride. looks powerful and smooth.
and over all awesome car. LOVE the Red leather and aluminum trip on the doors.
This drive reminds me a lot of my trip in April. Those roads are so good!
It’s crazy seeing you fly through the mountain roads in a fuckin ES. This car is honestly beautiful and really changed my mind about the ES series.
I drove a 2003 ES the other day and I was shook. 142k miles and it felt sooooo smooth. The engine and transmission barely exist
7:53 I dont think thats Lexus...
They took A LOT of design inspiration from the Honda Accord Coupe lol
Lol
title should be *Toyota's top-secret "Accordian" mode exposed*
Hahah I didn’t even notice I was so baked
Only stupid pp told this car copied Honda
Nice video on the open road ! I’ve owned many Lexus vehicles in 20 years including ES models , IS and LS and RX. I only wish you would show an overview of the interior and some of the features in exchange for some of the road time. I found myself shouting at you to not turn off the camera and show the interior as if I was watching a Live Facebook feed or something ... lol 😂 enjoyed your commentary- Fun and informative that lined up with what I wanted to know like you were reading my mind. Kudos ✌🏽💯😎
Matt... great review and summation on what luxury should be and what the ES provides. Will add the ES to my list of new car purchase.
I had this car as a loaner from our Lexus dealer, all I can say is - it is so awesome!!
Most profound quote about cars: That I have really been thinking about since acquiring a Lexus. “Luxury is about effortlessness” driving a Lexus is unlike any other car I have driven. So fluid and so effortless. The miles just go by.
Great drive! Too bad there was a lot of fog, but early morning drives are still fun. Good to hear it's such a comfortable car!
Got the chance to drive one at the dealership while my is was being serviced....crazy nice loved everything about it other than the power
It's not even a slow car, it's pretty quick for it's class
looking to upgrade ina year or so from my 08 es...right now this is at the top of my list
Same thing here man I'm in an 08 es350
Two Matt video’s in a row? Yes please!
Lexus has been doing some great work lately!
Been excited to hear your opinion since teasing on ur insta
Those tail lights are gorgeous
That interior is so nice!
THIS CAR IS AMAZING!!!!! TRULY AMAZING! EVERYDAY daily this is AMAZING
Getting the same car in January, had to order one. Glad to here about the power bands with the V-6. Driving a GS 200T F-SPORT ( same color) and I’m so over the turbo. You are so right with the power band on the turbo. Also on the ES, I will be also be opting for the power trunk, rear sun shade, wireless charger and a few accessories. Total price was 56400.00.
i have a 99 lexus es300 with 244k and still runs strong
Can't believe you guys haven't been able to cover a gs-f. Been wanting to see a review of that one for a while.
Wow Matt is back!
So glad you’re back Matt. Your personality is the best for these segments.
Wouldnt be so sure he's back as much as having material to offer for the time being. He is the best in comparison to who? I'm sure theres a few people who find the other guy very entertaining (?) That said, I couldnt agree more.
Phoenix Rising You may be right.. I should have clarified that it was my opinion :)
Of course it is - otherwise someone else would be saying it, right?
Pad, fluid, lines, and some PS4/PSS tires when the time comes, and basically fixes all the problems if you wanna do some fun stuff in it too without sacrificing the bonus comfort. Not my cup of tea, I'm not at that two car stage in life yet which is only reason I'd want one, but sounds dope. Like that the options are really reasonable.
I love everything not ff/fwd
From Lexus...& that leather is absolutely gourgouse!
The DRL’s on this car are literally perfect.
@TheSmokingTire now that the ES can also get AWD, how do you feel this model will be replacing the GS? I actually miss my GS 350 F-Sport! Yes I’m one of the younger generation buyer.
This is the only sedan lexus i like , looks stunning
Blue cars with red interiors are awesome!
Also, Lexus should offer an ES-F with the supercharger from the Evora
The Accord cutaway lmaoooo
Lexus is so underrated its sick.
The platform is directly shared with the Avalon, not the Camry. It's been sharing the same platform with the Avalon for the last 6 years. Yes, they share the new TNGA platform that is used in the Camry but the ES and the Avalon have longer overall length and longer wheelbase.
This is the nicest looking ES yet. I rather liked the 2013-2018 but this...man it looks sexy especially in the blue F Sport version.
Well, it is probably the first one that isn't offensively dull to look at.
The GS is still my favorite Lexus, but we just started getting the new ES at my dealership and man. Shit's just nice. I really did not mind the previous gen tho, sure it wasn't sporty looking but it's a luxury car.
Hit the nail in the head regarding Luxury
Damn that interior is beautiful.
The Accord and the ES350 look so similar to me, I didn’t even notice the mistake until I read the comments!
I like the red leather seats and that blue is so pretty
That ride is dope!
Would like you to try the MKZ AWD turbo. I was very impressed with the acceleration.
I'm only imagining an AWD wagon version of this. I would be all over that!
Matt, were you nervous in the fog? Did Chasis work for the jewels?
the lighting really makes a difference.
Is the LS worth the extra cheddar over the ES? That used to be a no-brainer but your time with the ES seemed to put it into contention, if you want a Japanese luxury sedan.
i WISH i could get the hybrid power train with f sport looks, colors, and options...... my search for a car would be over if that were the case.
I had to look it up because I knew the new camry v6 made about 300 HP when Matt said 267HP and indeed it actually makes 302HP
Matt, I'm going to request a "wrist check" at the beginning of all videos. I'd like to know what your watch collection looks like!
What I love about Matt is that he understands the true purpose of specific cars. In this case, he knows this isn't trying to smoke an S4 or 440i. He knows this isn't trying to better a Stinger GT. The disconnect is with Lexus. They try to put their cars in categories where they don't truly compete. For example, the RC-F was touted as an alternative to the C63 or M4, where the Germans slaughter the RC-F in almost every category. The GS-F was routed as an alternative to the E63 and M5 and it's not even close. The only advantage the GS-F has is price. The LC500 is put as a "high performance" category on Lexus' website (at least it was, not sure if still is), where "high performance" defines cars like the AMG-GT and other more exotic cars. the LC500 is a great-driving GT. If Lexus aligned its marketing with the true mission of its cars, maybe their sales results would be much different and they would be dominating again.
Regarding this ES F-Sport, I feel it's essentially the luxury version of the Honda Accord. Odd saying that considering the Camry is Toyota. The Accord may not be as quiet (as intended), but from the driving characteristics Matt described here, it seems more in line with the Accord than the Camry.
Looking at RCF vs M4 comparison from MotorTrend. Laptime difference is less than 2 seconds. BTW GSF was known for best chassis in it's class even compared with M5 and E63. CTSV also has great chassis. Have you driven these cars before you talk about them?
Yawn. You've been reading too many car reviews unfortunately.
poy Mu Firstly, I've never seen anywhere that the GSF has the best chassis against the M5 or E63. Secondly, if it does have "the best chassis", that's easy to say when you don't have to support power and performance that matches the M5 or E63. And, as a matter of fact, the CTS-V has consistently been voted as best chassis in this class, so keep up with your BS.
Phoenix Rising Aw, someone's butthurt. LOL.
@@senorgato70 I suspect you are a bot.
This gearbox is stressing me out
SECOND GEAR THIRD GEAR SECOND GEAR THIRD GEAR SECOND GEAR THIRD GEAR SECOND GEAR THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRD fourth
Have you driven it? I bet you havnt driven the new model. Another youtube student
Just my CVT sentra...best car ever made
Tedward its a senior citizens car what do you expect? Just saying
I'd expect it to be relaxing for the old folks instead of shifting like mad
I live in Los Angeles whatr road is this in Malibu I would love to take my Lexus GS around that road. Awesome review BTW!
This as a hybrid would be a perfect daily commute car!
Gotta love the Honda Accord Coupe cut-scene.
Red interior is sick eh
Especially on a blue car like this
Thank you for Matt.
You do what I do. The more fog I see, that faster I go!!
Wait you have to pay extra for the f sport steering wheel, in a f sport model?
Standard on f sport
I test drove an 18 Camry with the v6 and 8 speed and tried to drive it in manual mode and it did the same thing. Had a mind of its own lol
Just drove a 2022 ES Fsport last year when I was trying to look for an IS350 Fsport. There were no IS350 available and this car was so fuxking good that I felt confident in putting a deposit down on a factory ordered is350 that I waited 3 months for.
I love my RWD is350, but these ES’s are so much more than a grandma cruiser.
How would you compare the IS/ES?
@@ZuesToDrinkJuice1 With the IS you can certainly feel the more sport focused chassis design and lighter overall weight. Very similar handling dynamics between both, as in, they both feel properly analog and retain drive feel. Major difference is the drive train (RWD VS FWD) and those inherent differences plus or minus added weight. The IS feels a lot like W204 Mercedes Benz C350 and that’s exactly what I wanted lol
God I want this car
I get the need / fun of holding gears via the manual setting and paddles, but isn't the purpose of the contemporary 8 - 10 gear auto transmissions to let the vehicle choose the optimal gear? Sounds like Lexus produced another good "lexus" based upon the heavy traffic experience -- the typical experience for most Lexus owners I'm assuming. This will be an interesting CPO offering in a few years.
You should get this. So this can be your next million mile lexus.
Did you knock on the door of the driveway at the end to ask if you can drive that 3000GT?
Nice looking car, id change my fog lights to yellow just for that fog.
8:08 Matt wants Lexus to do the chassis tuning instead of Tesla? That's saying quite a bit for Lexus
Reasonable pricing too. I was expecting $10k+ more .
Not a bad view from the office!
IMO the ES is a great car for a non-enthusiast who wants a nice luxury car. Yes, it’s a nice Camry, but that’s fine if you care more about luxury than sportiness.
Yea the thing about this transmission is that even if you are in manual mode, it's not fully in manual mode....like it will still automatically up shift for you.
no it won't
Nice Breitling, wish I had the wrist for those haha.
This car looks great. Great styling, 300+ hp. It just needs AWD...
FYI: LED headlights are far inferior to HID's at the moment.
I’ve been in the market for one of these but it’s just not enough power I don’t want to upgrade but downgrade in power. I will say I agree with Lexus feeling effortless
When he said "Front wheel drive" is when the pause button was clicked and got back to our Supra search. Must stay focused and not be distracted again. That Friggin F got me, which stands for Fell for it.
I really like this but I hope they don't kill the GS ....
Already killed off in Europe. They're bringing the ES in to take its place
better be AWD eventually jeez
It's got a hump in the backseat so people are speculating they'll bring AWD as an option next year
Lukas if it is, and it can route 80% of power to rear wheels, then I’d be pretty friggin sold
We are gearing up our suspension line for an AWD Camry. I don’t see why this and the Avalon wouldn’t get the same treatment
No shades on this review. So used to seeing you pull down the shades as you take off.
Could you do drive video of the es300h ??
Amazing car!!!
I'm just saying why did I feel like I was in a horror movie him driving that fast in the fog had me losing my mind
R E L I A B I L I T Y
Reliably boring
BIG J You must be reliably broke

OSCAR BADILLO You must have bad credit to buy a Lexus, likely making high interest payments.
What are you feelings about the ML stereo? I’ve read some complaints on forums & wasn’t sure if they were just from fan boys bitching or if there’s a legitimate issue
I listened to the ml system and had no complaints coming from a aftermarket system.
My brain tells me I should get one of these to replace my Honda Accord but my heart says otherwise. I think Lexus does dual injection to prevent carbon build up and also isnt it interesting that Lexus/Toyota/Honda is not doing auto stop start on their new vehicles like everyone else?
'Life is weighed on the scale of a triple beam."
it looks great but after so many years of an ES being my grandma car, it's hard to image it as an aggressive car
It’s not tho, it’s still a normal car. It can be sort of affective but meant for refinement
Why doesnt it use the update grill of the rest of the ES line?
The platform is shared with the Avalon not Camry.
The Avalon and Camry share a platform.
Yea, and chimpanzees also share the same platform with yo ass.
@ Roger - The Avalon and the ES have longer wheelbase and longer overall length than the Camry. The LC and the LS also share the same platform (GLA) except the LS has about a foot longer wheelbase and more than a foot overall length.
The Avalon and ES350 share a lot of body parts, I deliver the body components in the factory. Also shares some with Camry, but more so with Avalon. Very similar looking parts, just different lengths.
Is=corolla, es=camry, ls= life😂😂
You can hear the tire flow of the road for a sec 10:36
Does it have apple car play or android auto?
Why ar eyou trying to manually shift a es 350 lol..
My co worker just leased this car n having driven it i am totally in the mind frame to buy this car.. probably around early August or latest October..
if someone can confirm this i would really appreciate it.. i Live New York. i have driven FWD all my car driven life and would love to have #1 drive a car that actually has more than 180 Hp and AWD
Although i can live without both lol
