The shower was necessary because the ES300's trunk holds two golf bags. It might even hold a third, but we didn't check it. The trunk is only rated at 13 cubic feet, but all the space was useful. To protect you when you're loading or unloading, the trunk lid is held up by hydraulic struts. Inside, the ES300 has all the luxury touches you'd expect from a Lexus, including wood trim.
Seats are leather-faced, and there's a power sunroof.
Rear seat leg room is excellent and you can fit five people in comfort in the ES300. The center rear passenger will have a slight battle with the tunnel, but it's a winnable battle. Handling is also excellent. AVS monitors engine and vehicle speed, steering wheel movement, braking, acceleration and the vehicle's vertical motions to control shock absorber damping to match road and driving conditions. Therefore, each wheel's suspension can adjust itself continuously over each bump.
