Great design exterior and interior that is appealing.

Great navigation. Sleek exterior and interior that is appealing. Great safety features. No complaints about the car.

Christopher G

Quiet very little road noise, has all the bells and whistles and some we haven't used yet

Bought this car use 2 years ago. Have had no problems to date. Reason for buying where mainly safety issue. (2 grandchildren) Car handles extremely well, feel very comfortable either driving or riding.

Melissa B

The Lexus is a sleek looking car.

The only issue with my vehicle is that the amplifier burned out so I cannot listen to the radio or navigation system. I enjoy how the car hugs the road making for a smooth drive. The heating and cooling of the seats works wonder during the season change.

Chris G

Smooth riding car for long trips.

Currently I have had no problems with my car. I do the normal maintenance such as oil changes and new tires. I really enjoy how smooth the ride is and it is also very comfortable on long trips. It has pretty good performance for a sedan as well. Overall I have been really pleased with the car and would definitely consider purchasing another Lexus in the future.

Victoria B

Love my Lexus, comfort when leaving home.

The most reliable car I have ever owned. Dependable, luxurious, and spacious. It's easy to maintain and keep regular maintenance that won't break the bank. The car is luxurious with leather seating and dashboards. It has backlights through the cabin that make it feel cozy when night time driving. The engine purrs and is not loud. The gas economy is good and lasts.

David W

Quick reasons to love this sedan

This vehicle has a very smooth ride. A great perk is the ability to change the car to eco mode which makes it a 4 cylinder car. The driver as has the option to change it to sport mode which is 6 cylinder. The all wheel drive feature is perfect on muddy or snowy terrain.

Ana P

Reliable, dependable and most comfortable vehicle around.

The vehicle is extremely smooth driving and quiet when on road trips. This car is highly reliable with only oil changes and tires rotation on a as needed basis. This vehicle holds its resale value as a dependable car with no issues. Personally, I will buy another Lexus after this car.

Trisha B

Reliable and comfortable!

I love my car! The interior is beautiful, durable, and comfortable. I have done many trips in my car and myself and passengers never complained about not being comfortable. Only downfall that I've came across is getting it fixed can be expensive. Over the year that I've had it to get the water pump, plugs, and brakes changed I've spend almost 3k$. Other than the price to get it fixed this is my dream car and I love every bit of it!

Very well made reliability very easy to drive very comfortable.

It is good. No problem with it. You will also love it if you get one. Very awesome cat. I can believe I can get it as a gift.

Carlos E

My Lexus sedan: the best of both worlds.

My car is refined, comfortable, and spacious. It can handle both city driving and some long distance traveling. It is a mix between portable luxury and pragmatic design. It can be both a daily use car, and it has enough space or a short trip.

It is an amazing car, with a very reliable engine.

It is a very reliable car. Very strong and convenient. I am sold on Lexus. My old car was also Lexus. The parts are not expensive. Maintenance is not bad. It has heated seats, leather interior, gas mileage is really good. It is very comfortable to drive. Mine has a sunroof, and power windows.
