Standard features on the 2009 ES 350 include “real wood trim on the doors and center console, a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel, keyless access and start, and chic LED lighting,” reports Cars.com. MotherProof comments that despite its relatively high cost, "you get so much with this car that you don't necessarily get with same-priced SUVs!" Some of the "mom-friendly goodies" reported on here include a backseat skylight, LATCH connectors for child seats, and a first aid/tool kit.

This year's Lexus ES 350 offers many luxury features—“enough gizmos to embarrass a Best Buy salesman,” Motor Trend says.

Cars.com reports other "noteworthy options," including front and rear parking sensors, a power rear sunshade, a panorama glass roof, and a voice-activated navigation system with rearview camera that "makes judging the distance between the ES 350's back bumper and another car or object a breeze," says Cars.com. Audiophiles will appreciate the "Mark Levinson Surround Sound" stereo system, and one can watch DVD movies on the navigation screen when the Lexus ES 350 is parked.

Conclusion

The 2009 Lexus ES 350 offers enough high-tech gadgets and features to satisfy the most hardened technophile.

Other Choices:

The ES 350 compares to stylish, albeit conservative, front-wheel-drive luxury cars that favor ride over performance. The interior of the Lexus ES 350 looks and feels expensive, but so does the trim inside the Hyundai Azera—a vehicle that handles better than the Lexus while undercutting it in price by thousands of dollars. The Lincoln MKZ is a sharper-edged car, with an interior that is at the same time more stylish but less rich-looking. The Lincoln’s engine also has more growl, and it's available with all-wheel drive. The Acura TL is a much edgier performer with a style that's up to the challenge. Another more distant rival is the Nissan Maxima, which is roomy and stylish, with a surprisingly comfortable and opulent interior—emphasizing performance without sacrificing ride. However, the Maxima doesn’t offer the superior service that names like Lexus, Lincoln, and Acura bring at the dealership level.
