"I have had this car for 4 months and 5,000 miles. It is by far the most fun I have had driving a car. It is luxurious yet exilerating to drive. The biggest downside is that there is nowhere to go to let it run. The backseat is small but I rarely drive with more than one other person in the car. I have the luxury package and the touch screen controls and navigation system are easy to use and work great. The Mark Levinson audio is increadible. The only bad featue is voice recognition system. I can't get it to work with my voice. It was also a surprise to learn I needed winter tires which are quite expensive since I also got wheels and pressure sensors ($1500). But they work great especially for rear wheel drive."

"I had been watching this Lexus since it came out...stalking it, more likely. Test drove it 4 times. Then made the move and put down $40k for a white Lexus with Nav and ISP wheels. Love the look. Love the 305 horsepower, the handling, the stereo, the AC, the Navigation (bluetooth phone is great and reverse camera). Love the keyless entry. Delighted with the styling, handling and performance. Not delighted with: - Air out of the perforated seats should be stronger - Getting in and out of the car for a 6 footer or above may be tough. Small doors...I have a strategy for getting in and out of my car now without hitting my leg on the door frame. - Road noise is more than expected...but the stereo overtakes the noise. In fairness, I think the 18" wheels (less rubber) are noisier. - Gas mileage...it said 21 city, 28 highway. I'm getting 20 in mixed driving. But in fairness, I'm sure all cars' EPA are overstated, and I'm always running my AC. All in all, I still love the car and don't regret the purchase. I'm still in honeymoon period though...so I'll have to visit again in a couple years!"

"I fell in love with this one. Absolutely superb car. I traded in my 2002 BMW for this car. The BMW was a dinasour technologically compared to this marvel. So you're reading this because you want to know the bad huh? Well here it is: Navigation system has safety lock outs that are annoying. I was not too keen on the overly plastic center console. Poor font choice. Can't bypass Dynamic stability control. Bridgestone tires on my car are a bit sensitive. Follows grooves in road, pulling the car from one side to the other. Options are VERY expensive. Make sure you get a good discount if you get options. They are obviously trying to make up costs with these."

"Great car. Lexus has thought of everything. If you need it, this car has it. Great styling. Navigation system has a "learning curve" but they all do."
