Reviews Summary

Has the world moved beyond the full-size family sedan? The answer might be yes. Considering that a Chevrolet Impala provides just a few inches of extra space here and a few cubic feet of additional trunk room there, but at a cost in terms of purchase price and fuel economy, it's hard to justify a big car’s existence. Yet, the Impala exists, and within its segment, it is absolutely worthy of consideration.

Reviews Summary

The 2016 Lexus ES 350 improves slightly on the complete overhaul of the car last year. A new grille and bumpers wrap a car that's built for comfort. A supremely quiet interior and easy tech features highlight a car that's so sedate it has a habit of fading too far into the background. It won't provide the thrills of others in its class, but there's enough to consider it when shopping for a quiet, luxury ride.
