Bosses in the house
Happy Easter ��

I’ve watched a lot of reviews of the 07-12 Lexus ES350 on YouTube and most of them advised people to buy the 10-12 model year.

-My question is why?
-was there any problem with the 07-09 model year engine wise? Cos It’s the same 2GR-FE engine so what’s the difference?
-For the bosses that have used the 07-09 model year, what’s your verdict and opinion about the car generally?
(Wanted to hear the naija perspective)

Thanks ��

GS350 is more reliable.
C300 parts are more available.
Maintenence costs are similar.


However, the GS350 is a much better car. Better ride quality, better interior, way better engine.
Thanks boss

The ES350 is a fancy Camry. The GS is more complicated.

Both are reliable, but I'd probably go with the GS tbh. I've seen cases of transmission issues on quite a few ES350s.

Keep in mind, however, that GS parts and maintenence is more expensive.
Thanks boss

Thanks boss

ES300 was first made, then ES330 was an improvement on 300 while ES350 was a better design car than the previous 2, look at the 3 cars and pick the one that you would like to be seen driving, one that you will smile every time you park it and be proud of yourself.

The 1 likely to visit the mechanic frequently is the one you bought and drive with an "I don't care attitude" they are all vehicle, one way or the other something would breakdown.

As long as the 3 cars are in great shape I don't expect something to break easily but alas the ES300 is an older model, I expect things to start malfunctioning or breakdown compared to ES350 the youngest in terms of production year.
Thanks a lot ��

ES350 > ES330 > ES300 (> better than sign) in the fuel economy.

ES300 > ES330 > ES350 in parts and maintenance aspect, cheaper workmanship, fluid cost is less in 300.
And which one is likely to visit the mechanic frequently?
I want to get one of the three cars and I don’t want to regret any decision I make
Car TalkRe: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Dbass2020: 11:01am On Feb 09, 2020
Thanks. Someone told me Es350 has overheating issues. How true is that?
Car TalkRe: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by Dbass2020: 1:45am On Feb 09, 2020
Car gurus compare 2003 Lexus es300, 2006 Lexus es330 and 2009 lexus es350.

Key points
1. Fuel consumption
2. Maintenance
