It's the most comfortable/easy to drive car you can find and it's very reliable.
I love the luxury of my car. I get great gas mileage. I wish it were cheaper to have maintenance done to it.

The oil is the life of your car

My car is fastest, souped up motor, with silver and black rims, Bluetooth speaker
I bought this car from my uncle, he has never had any issues with it. This car has to burn premium gas, but still good long lasting car. The car is very roomy and has ashtrays all around for smokers pleasure. Easy upgrades if wanted. It seems like any year of Lexus cars run good and is long lasting.

It is luxurious even in this day and age.
It works great, the breaks have started sticking after a short time driving but they do not impede the performance of the vehicle. It has a great interior that has stood the test of time. It has lasted very high mileage and still drives extremely well. I use it to get to and from school about a 20 minute commute each way, every day.

The car has all leather interior with heated seats and is very sporty.
The car is comfortable, reliable, and drives great. The only problem is the cost of vehicle repairs is very expensive! At least Lexus provides you with a car while the car is being repaired.

It is great on gas and is really smooth driving and has a pretty good stereo.
It has been an overall dependable car. It drives smoothly and is good on gas. I do not like that it is not bigger. I need a SUV.
accountCircle Maggie M
It is dependable. The car gets good gas mileage and requires very little maintenance.
I bought the car new and have had it for 15 years; the first seven years the only thing it needed was a set of tires and oil and filter changed on a regular basis. The eight year it needed a battery. It has performed well during hot summers and cold winters. I have no dislikes or complaints.

It has a Fantastic Safety and Repair Record and has a classic look.
I love how it drives and the fact that it has needed very little repairs.

Great car,bought used and 2nd owner.
I service all it's needs but lately driving on city streets I feel every pebble or crevice I happen to runover, I know this car is not designed with clunks in it I have new ball joints but I suspect shocks to be the problem. Does anyone else have something like this and what is it?
