This week's Auto Express has a mini (2 page) report on the 2022 ES with F-Sport Takumi package. They have given it 3.5 stars out of 5.

Main criticism is the performance and associated engine noise. The infotainment also gets negative comments although Lexus reliability is acknowledged.

Each to their own but it will not spoil the enjoyment of my 2021 Premium Pack model.

Can’t work out why they still complain about the infotainment, it now has a touchscreen, it’s large at eye level and includes apple/android. Plus it has proper buttons and a twisty column control

It's still a little slow, with poor UI and a lack of functionality and flexibility if you use the native functions. It's an improvement but compared to the best systems out there it is lacking.

I am sure Auto Express will have fault to find, it does not have a German badge and is not designed to navigate corners quickly...

Surprisingly they say handling is above average

In my view, Lexus are to be commended for making such a smooth and quiet 4-cylinder engine. The handling is just great and on the rare occasions I put my foot down (without going into sport mode) it responds brilliantly.

Average 40 to the gallon pottering around. I've achieved 60 on a 100-mile round a-road trip.

What's not to like?
