It is my pride and joy and happiness.
My Lexus is great, best car I ever had. No performance issues. But is not the best on gas. So beware with these type of cars.

Comfortable, reliable, affordable and joyful to ride in.
Vehicle problems: normal wear and tear as like electrical problems oil leaks and anti freeze leaks. Radiator etc.. Performance: best vehicle I've driven performance wise. Hugs the road beautifully. Handles great. Smooth enjoyable car to cruise in. Reliability: being 2001 the engine has not given any problems. Miles -120. 000. Comfort and features: spacious soft heated leather seats with air vents in the front and back, sunroof, big trunk.

It's a good car. Its reliable and is roomy it even has ac in the back
I like the ride, I like how it handles. But it is a little older so it needs an updated stereo and maybe navigation. I also am not a fan of the leather seats. We live in a hot area and leather gets really hot

8 cylinders on the car. Leather luxury and smooth ride.
Car has an 8 cylinder engine. Car has a nice smooth ride. I do not like the rear wheel drive. Rarity is good also.

It is old, but it is still nice.
I like that it has a navigation. Heated seats. Everything a normal car should have. I wish it had Bluetooth.

Lexus 2001- safe and reliable.
My car is incredibly old, but incredibly safe. It is a reliable vehicle that is roomie inside and drives very smoothly. It does have its problems since it is very old but that is reasonable. The radio system is very outdated as well. I would recommend this as a good first car.
