I took a ES330 for yesterday and went home with it.It's been a while that I haven't really driven a ES for over 30 minutes.I would say,for the handling,ES really sucks.... Came to a intersection and wanna turn right at 40km/h,the car couldn't do it .I almost hit with the car that's turning into the left lane from the on coming traffic.
That's not my really concern.My concern is,though ES has like 230 torque,it didn't give me a torquey feeling at all? The acceleration seems to be ok at 2/3 throttle but,just the feeling is not there. I tried to recall the feeling that I was test driving the TSX 2 weeks ago,with 164 torque,almost feel the same???It's the weight or just the size of the car? Can't really justify this,any idea?

its the weight and size of the car. also, its a LEXUS. its made to be super smooth. the IS350 have a lot of power, but when i drove it it didnt feel fast. however, when i looked at the tach i was going really fast.

that car is made... so you don't feel like you're in a car. It is made to feel like your in a comfortable lounge. AKA you won't feel crap except some nice tunes and climate control lol

so,the power is actually there? I guess feeling sometimes is really different from the reality eh?

yup. just punch it and keep an eye on your speedo

but,will the TSX has the same pick up as the ES330 does since it's lighter and smaller?
