Quality and Style is what you get with a Lexus
I love my car because of its reliability, the amount of seating yet it fits easily into to parking spots. It easily fits 8 people when you need the extra space. The overall quality of the vehicle is top notch. I have had very little maintenance with this vehicle. We are lifelong Lexus fans!

Protection is the key to a Lexus for all owners.
This is a great vehicle that handles very well on the road and in heavy traffic. This car is designed to offer the best possible safety and protection. If you are in the need for a safe and reliable vehicle this is the vehicle for you. This vehicle leads the way in customer service and satisfaction.

This is my first Lexus and I'll never buy another make car. It is reliable and still drives like it's new despite over 100k Miles.

That it can flip if you going to fast and turn.
It an older model so not the most updated technology but it still drives very smooth. It takes premium gas and does not have great gas mileage.

It is luxurious and everything is automated.
It is so much fun to drive. It is comfortable and fits the whole family! It is a smooth and comfortable ride. Great for long distance trips. The automated seat adjuster and seat warmers make the winter a bit more tolerable. I feel luxurious driving my Lexus.

Great gas mileage, it is worth the price that you pay for the car new or used.
It is a large SUV. With is Bluetooth compatibility and 3 rows of seating. It has a very smooth and comfort ride. It has a CD player and a DVD player with sunroof.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Jay H.

It is paid off and low miles. I do not like car payments due to high interest rates. The cons would be sometimes it is hard to find a reliable old car to work with. So finding a good investment is difficult.

likeFilled Brantley H.

It is a great car that has lasted a long time. I'd love to purchase a new model. I plan to buy a newer model of my current car when I am in the market to buy a new car. Lexus vehicles are very reliable.

likeFilled Brittney P.

This is an incredibly dependable, spacious, safe and luxurious SUV. It is a pleasure to drive. Only con is that when something goes out I.E.- Transmission, starter, brakes... It is very expensive. However, the safety you feel for your family while driving makes it worth it.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Jay H.

It will need repairs soon but like all cars. They need maintenance if not they will catch up later. I do not see any cons with owning a used vehicle compare to a new one. Most cars today are pretty economical and the quality shows that.

dislikeFilled Brantley H.

The only con would be that you have to have it serviced at a Lexus dealership that can be a little more expensive. It can also be inconvenient since there are not as many Lexus dealerships as there are other car makers. However, they normally come with really good warranty.

dislikeFilled Brittney P.

Like I said before, repairs are terribly expensive. Also, you must have a special tool for the tires, which the mechanic will ask for- so do not lose that! After 14 years the paint in the roof has started to chip off.
