With eighty-eight measures taken to reduce noise and vibration, the 2009 Lexus ES 350 smoothly and elegantly provides a safe and pampering ride.Driving a car is more than going from point A to point B, and a feel for the road and the engine is important, but the '09 Lexus ES 350 fails to recognize this and provides so many comfort features that it numbs the driving experience.The caveat about creating a smooth, quiet, and comfortable ride, is that, understandably, the vehicle becomes somewhat soft. The ES 350 doesnt hug turns low and hard like a BMW, it doesnt let you feel the grit of the road through the steering wheel, and you wont be able to hear, or feel, the growl of the engine. If you are looking for a driving experience, you may want to look elsewhere - the ES 350 aims at a riding experience.In road tests, the front-wheel-drive ES 350 corners well and handles its lighter frame as well as, if not better than, some of its heavier European rivals. Braking power was reported to be firm and responsive but somewhat soft in simulated emergency halts.The 2009 ES 350 scored very high marks for safety in all categories, posting a five-star rating for front impact for both the driver and passenger, as well as side-impact for the driver. Four-star results were garnered for rollover resistance and rear-passenger side impacts. Lexus uses crumple zones in their frame for the front and rear to absorb the shock of a collision in addition to side-impact door beams.As with many 2009 models, Lexus includes antilock brakes, traction control, an anti-skid system, front dual-chamber airbags, and front and rear side airbags, but the ES 350 also adds front and rear side curtain airbags and front knee airbags. Standard safety features for the 2009 ES 350 also include a brake assist function that increases braking force when an emergency situation is detected.The optional Lexus Pre-Collision system adds an element of technological safety to the vehicle in emergenc
