My 4th Lexus

Good tight comfortable car with plenty of room. Not a good handling car as it is heavy. Extremely quiet with excellent stereo system. Big change coming from an E63 Mercedes.

quite a performer, but not perfect

I owned the previous LS 460 FSPORT - the engine and transmission were sluggish. This current model is quite the performer. The engine and transmission are nearly perfect. I am having issues with the active noise cancellation. Causes ear pressure and the need to pop my ears frequently. Ruins the listening experience to the upgraded sound system.

Lexus LS500

This Lexus is more luxurious than my previous Lexus and includes many more safety features that are invaluable. This is the most comfortable auto to drive and its handling is outstanding. Although it is a bit pricey, it is worth it.

Surprise from Lexus! Not a good one

Excellent sales experience. Well done on design and comfort. Loaded with tech. Sadly that's where the fun ends. 3 weeks into owning it the transmission is super aggressive, jerks so hard passengers regularly ask " facing problems with your new car". Things get worse when the car rattles if you accelerate on turning. Lexus service states all 2018 are built like this. Luckily I still have my 2008 ls460. I am selling this one, as Lexus won't own it and I am embarrassed to own it.

Great purchase!

I recently surprised my wife with this car for her birthday. She absolutely adores it. It's horsepower is unprecedented and it does extremely well with gas. It is definitely a car that you would want. The Luxury features of this car is beyond imagination. It is just all around an amazing car.
