Nice looking ride! Very different character to an ISF. How do you find the length? For parking, sharp bends. And what about the FWD? One of the things I like about the IS is there is not a discernible understeer at regular speeds.

Hi, yeah, the ISF was brilliant, great acceleration and loved it, but can’t beat this ES for comfort and luxury! Definitely longer and a touch wider, but you get used to that quickly,  takes bends fine, Parking, obviously don’t  always quite fit in the boxes length wise, but no great problem. I found the steering very responsive,  smooth quiet drive, I personally have felt no  understeer at regular speeds, it’s a different drive than the ISF but we are an older couple and appreciate a more comfortable interior and all the extras,  fwd is no problem to us, it is different but only had-it a month,  so only drove it in fine weather, so have  to see,  loads more room in the back seats too, we have 3 grandkids, the eldest girl 15 thinks the car is “sickkkk”  gotta admit, so do we 😃 gets lots of admiring looks!  Also great on fuel consumption with the help of the hybrid.  

Reluctantly traded  my beloved 11 year old  ISF 250 for a ES300h and WOW am absolutely loving it, great smooth  drive, amazing comfort, had it a month, and have to say I am really enjoying it, much more space than my ISF, much more comfort,  very happy with it. Would recommend!
