Reviews / 2010 Lexus ES 350 Review
What is a luxury car to you? You might immediately think that luxury is what BMW or Mercedes-Benz sells, which is good. But sometimes, luxury doesn’t always have to be married with sportiness. There are some people out there who want a quality-crafted car without a sport suspension or scalpel-like steering, and they’re not all retired.

That’s what Lexus sells. They offer well-crafted vehicles with luxurious cockpits, high levels of creature comforts and comfortable rides. The ES 350 is a good example of luxury without sportiness.
It starts out with a nicely-finished interior, complete with genuine wood trim as well as quality rubbers and plastics. The front seats have soft leather coverings but offer a supportive firmness. The optional seats ventilation also keeps you cool in the seat without giving you goose bumps, and after a three-hour drive, I climbed out of the car without any soreness and stiffness, ready for action.
The supple suspension is also quite pleasant over long-distance cruising. It has just the right amount of compliance, and it isn’t floaty like an old Buick or marshmellowy like an old Hyundai. You barely feel bumps and cracks, but you don’t get nausea either. It’s just right. And at triple-digit speeds, the car never feels strained; you feel as though you’re driving much more slowly than you really are.
The low roofline cuts into headroom, though; I had to recline the seatback a little more than I normally prefer. The centre stack gets good marks for its easy-to-use controls, more intuitive than in Acura or Audi products. The back seat is very comfortable for two adults, less so for three because of the sculpted cushion, firm fold-down armrest and lack of headroom.
Power comes from a 24-valve, 3.5-litre V6 that develops 272 horsepower and 254 pound-feet of torque. It’s the same engine as in various Toyota and Lexus models, so why does it require premium unleaded, when Toyotas with the same V6 can run on regular?

Before you and me see new models of cars or modifications of old one, they pass through the stricked control in laboratories, garages, on streets and platforms. Everything thing is called test drives. There cars are tested on a great number of points – power, safety, control, easiness of driving, protect from damages and other features. Tests can be made not only for the whole car, but for its separate parts also – wheels, air bags, hardness of base, suitiness of wheels to the type of road, protect from temperature and many others. For each, even smallest detail, scientists have couple of test.In special laboratories techniques create situations and observe how car will show itself. How will these situations will influence passengers and driver.
It helps producers to identify all problems and disadvantages due to correct them before mass production. In case of low quality test drives, innocent people can be harmed.
While cars are tested instead of passengers, soft manikins are used. Numerous appliances are based on them, and at the moment of artificial crash it will memorize the force of hit, speed, possible damage on other characteristics, needed to be clarified.
When parts are tested they may be separated from the car structure or be on their place. These test also show what material is better to be used on this or those detail, how long will it serve and how it should be treated.
As I came up fast over the crest just before the sharp right-hander, I felt the race car begin to understeer away from me. "No worries," I thought, forgetting what exactly I was driving, "I'll just get on the power and get it straightened out." A tank-slapper later I was facing the other direction on the edge of the grass. I had just spun out on my first lap ever in a race car. A front-drive Kia Rio B-Spec race car, at that.
