I bought a brand-new 2009 Lexus ES 350 yesterday and was shocked beyond belief to discover that when I went to hang up my suit jacket in the rear seat area, there was no coat hook. This was subsequently confirmed with my dealership. How is this possible? I stopped at a Toyota dealer on my way into the office and discovered that Camry s have coat hooks as does my 2005 RAV 4. Putting aside for the moment the question of how Lexus could screw this up, my question is whether any owners of Lexus ES 350's can suggest an easy solution.

| I recently bought a two year-old Lexus 350. The leather covers on both keys were well-worn. They don't show up on the accessories portion of the Lexus Web site. I'd like to replace them. Any suggestions about sources? | |

My 08 is like that, pretty stupid. But, many interior features are pretty stupid on this model. I cite the poor interior lighting, no back seat 12V outlet, not much storage and a passthru instead of a full fold-down rear seat. Was spoiled by my 02 Audi A6, a real well designed luxury car. It also had free service to 50 K miles. Have you had a Lexus Dealer do an oil change yet. Fasten your seat belt when you get the bill. (my last one was 146 bucks) (and I mean last for them!!) But I digress For travel I use the more expensive hangers that have swivel hooks. These hook over the sissy handle just above the rear door sill. Works pretty well. Your car does have some great features too. I think mine has great mpg for the fairly powerful engine. Also, a stylish car that is quiet, smooth and very comfortable for long distance cruising. I just can't resist spouting off sometimes. (!!!) I hope the designers read our rants. Mike |

| Has anyone purchased the updated navigation DVD for the ES350? I was wondering if not only is it worth the money but is it easier to use than the old version? If you did purchase the new DVD did you get it from the Lexus dealer or some other source? | |

Drove one with 16K miles on it. Very nice, but really disappointed in that it was not as good as my 07 Hyundai Azera . While it did not have the bouncing/wallowing that Azera is known for, the seats were not as comfortable, nor was the overall ride. Felt most road imperfections. The engine was noisy when accelerating and the car was not as quiet overall. The audio was not as good and radio had poor reception. The paint was in very good shape, except where some nut had installed a plastic "protector" over half of the hood. Left a definite line marking where it ended. The vented seat did not cool very well, even on highest setting. Of course, it was also smaller front, rear and trunk. Really surprised at handling on interstate. Very susceptible to cross winds and draft from tractor-trailers. Couple of times at 70 wasn't sure I was in control of the car.

Replying to: priggly (Jun 26, 2009 12:19 am) However, in the interests of full disclosure, I must say that I used to drive a Honda Civic before this car. I wouldn't be able to compare it with a Merc or a Cadillac, say. Sincere Regards ateeq ahmad |
