Good resale when you trade it in.
Very good on the highway. Good resale. Still looks like a new car. Rides great even with 10000 miles on i.

What's interesting about this vehicle is that the steering wheel.
Since this car is an older model there's not much features to it. But it is an excellent car that you can rely on. As far as comfort the seats are amazing. Thought since it leather it can get pretty hot in the sun. Lastly you won't run out of gas so fast.

It's gets me where I need to go.
I do like all of the space that I have, it is roomy enough for my children. We always have a lot with us. The AC is my favorite because it works so well. I've never had any major problems with it. I will probably want to upgrade soon though.

My car is very easy to drive and does not have that many problems.
My vehicle is smooth and easy to drive. There are a few problems with it now since it is an old car. It still gets me from place to place though. Overall, good car to have for many years.

The most comfortable and affordable luxury sedan you'll find!
I think the seats are one of my favorite things about the car, they're nice and plush very much like a good sofa. It's amazing on long trips because you don't get uncomfortable like you would in most cars. It has seat heaters and coolers which are very nice I use them everyday! The only thing I don't like is the gas mileage I mean it's good for a large sedan but I'm driving a lot so it's not as practical for solely driving in town. I've never really had any problems with it besides having to change the oil very frequently like way more frequently than any other car.

The rear view camera is a plus and the cooling seat feature.
I absolutely love my vehicle. It's excellent on gas, very fast and spacious. The performance is second to none and it is fully loaded with heated/cooling seats, sunroof, rear camera, rear automatic sunshade, automatic side mirrors closures, navigation system and many more features. It drives wonderful and I have Been to Florida, Virginia and Georgia with this car. Wouldn't trade it for another because of the comfort and reliability

Scratches on front passenger window.
No problems with this vehicle. It runs really well. The only past problem I have had was in the front suspension. Added some new front struts.

The only issue I have with it is that it is hard to fix on your own. Lexus designs its cars so that they must be taken into shop. This is a bit annoying.
