Exterior

The ES 350 isn’t just easy to drive, it’s easy on the eyes, too. It looks rich, elegant and classy, which is more than I can say for myself. The chrome used on the grille, door handles and window trim provides just the right amount of sparkle without going over the top. With the panoramic glass roof, there’s almost a two-tone effect as the glass has a dark tint to keep things cool inside. From outside, it doesn’t look like two separate sunroofs, even though it is. It looks like the entire top of the car is made of glass. The windows are also tinted, giving the ES that Hollywood look of mystery. I mean, there must be someone important riding behind that dark glass, right? Oh, that’s right — it’s me, living on easy street! And that tint isn’t just for looks: It’s UV-reducing, so it keeps me looking as fabulous as my ride.

The doors open wide enough for little legs to climb in without an assist, and they’re easy for little hands to manage because they’re not too heavy. I found the trunklid to be surprisingly light. The mirrors are power-adjustable and have defoggers and puddle lamps that illuminate the outside of the car so you won’t step in that puddle wearing your fancy new shoes. Or in my case, flip-flops, but the benefit remains.
