I took an ES on a 24 hour (well... 30 hour!) test drive. It was an F-Sport model with Takumi pack. I have to say that, while the colour scheme was under-whelming (silver/black), I was impressed with the car.

The (+)...

- Very smooth, quiet and comfortable
- Excellent ML audio
- the larger screen and the HUD display
- I was impressed by the Tahara upholstery
- the laminated side windows
- the brilliant adaptive headlights
- economy far better than that of the NX I currently drive

The (-)...
- the central armrest was very creaky
- the all-black window switches are not as plush as the ones used in the face-lifted NX
- the boot lid sensor seems far trickier to use than it should be. 

I was also surprised to see that the car is much cheaper than the equivalent NX while being better specc'ed (laminated side windows, larger screen, electric rear blind (I know... could not fit this onto the NX), and offering better performance and more space.

They are nice, I also had an extended test drive and enjoyed the car. 

Did you use the club offer to get the 30 hour drive Daniel?

Yes I did. Clicked on the link and went from there. Dealer got back to me within 24 hours early last week and arranged for me to pick up the car up on my way to work Friday morning and return it Saturday lunch time.

SUV's tend to be rip off. Look what a UX and NX costs. The ES is a far nicer car than either. I am going to certainly try one out.

The Camry looks to be better value.Why not try that too ?
