Overview

The 2013 Lexus ES 350 Sedan makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan class. With a single trim on offer, the 2013 Lexus ES 350 Sedan has a base MSRP of $36,370 competing directly with the Buick LaCrosse, the Hyundai Genesis, and the Lincoln MKZ. Only a 3.5L V6 engine is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 268 horsepower and 248 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 6.5 seconds, the Lexus ES 350 Sedan maintains a combined fuel economy of 24 MPG. Lexus offers the ES 350 Sedan in more than 9 stunning colors, with the Deep Sea Mica being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

We suggest choosing the base trim in combination with the available Premium Package, which adds features like a power-adjustable steering wheel, driver memory functions, leather upholstery, real wood trim, and a wood-trimmed steering wheel.

              Lexus ES350

              Pros - ["I feel safe in the car.", "It is sturdy and strong"]

              Cons - ["servicing is expensive.", "Parts and repair is expensive."]

              My Lexus ES 350 is a very reliable luxury sedan. I have been in a couple of accidents but not a scratch incurred. It keeps me that safe. It is very sturdy and strong. After so many year of using it, I have grown emotionally attached to this car.
