Good for an average driver

The ride is pretty smooth and optimal for a daily driver even given that the car has a V8. The interior is outdated but comfortable. Biggest complaint is the transmission. It is very slow to react with big delays in downshift. It makes spirited driving very painful. Not a canyon or track car.

Could be better

This is a nice car. However, the engine and transmission are not as responsive as I expected. If Lexus improves the car in the future, I would consider it again.
