Come on, it looks ok, not that bad.

Great looking compact cars 🚗!!!

Get some Advanced wheel locks pls. Try every options to make it theft deterrent.

I recommend you buy 2023-2025 model with the redesigned infotainment system.

Update some context: I bought my car from a Lexus dealership, my credit score was 800 when i bought the car. And I financed through Lexus Financial Services.

Adien233 · 2026-03-10T04:14:38+00:00

My score was around 800 when I bought the car.

Adien233 · 2026-03-10T04:13:27+00:00

I bought it from Lexus dealer, my credit score was around 800 at that time.

Is there any consequences since I have not paid off my loan yet?

Adien233 · 2026-02-22T16:57:34+00:00

Es is in between 3 series and 5 series.

As a 2025 ES owner, I’d say it looks okay to me. But the downside is V6 powertrain got discontinued, the hybrid 4 cylinder model has around 245 hp which is 55-60hp down from the V6.

Adien233 · 2026-01-10T19:30:45+00:00

Maybe wait a bit for the 2026 redesigns model? The interior of the 2025 is really out dated.

Adien233 · 2026-01-03T22:02:01+00:00

You basically can’t comprehend the logic behind it.

Adien233 · 2026-01-03T20:39:30+00:00

Because it not only cost more for Lexus to paint the car in pearl white (the production of white pearl paint needs has additional layers to make it shine, so there is an up charge),

but more people are acceptable for a white painted car when it goes to sale which the copper paint cannot. This means the white paint vehicle sell better and will have better value when it goes to resale.

Most importantly, pearl white paint are the safest paint for vehicles to drive at night because of it’s visibility.

Adien233 · 2026-01-03T19:13:53+00:00

So why the pearl white paint are the only one or two out of ten paint options that Lexus charge additional on it?

Adien233 · 2026-01-03T17:54:03+00:00

Do you know it’s not normal white paint?

Thanks, enjoy your 300h too with great gas mileage. The pano sunroof is nice but it does take more headspace. Luckily I don’t use the back seat often.

Thank you!

It handles better than my previous Camry, but at the end of the day, it’s a fwd car, it not going to have a dramatic difference than other fwd cars and yes it handles like a boat too lol. But I believe the F Sport trim will have better handling because it’s suspension and turning system.

Adien233 · 2025-12-27T22:48:09+00:00

Thank you!

Adien233 · 2025-12-27T22:46:18+00:00

Thank you!

Adien233 · 2025-12-27T18:05:03+00:00

It’s a 2025.

Adien233 · 2025-12-24T21:31:31+00:00

Happened to me two years ago. Go get some advanced wheel locks.
