I doubt anyone wouldn't like this car unless prefer trucks or something small.

What is not to like about this car? It's like driving a library from the seat of a recliner in total silence with plenty of power on tap and an incredible stereo.

It have sensors to read everything and let you know everything about the car.

I have a great car! It is push start, its fully loaded, keyless entry, navigation, backup camera, front, and side sensors to let you know when you are too close to something. It comes with a spare tire that is not a doughnut it's an actual tire. It also lets you know when it is time for your oil change and when your tire pressure is low.

Parnell S

Dependable and stylish luxury car that gets good gas mileage.

The car provides a very comfortable ride, gets good gas mileage around town for a v8 and great gas mileage on the highway. At 10 years old, I have had on no major repair issues, just the normal wear and tear stuff.

165,000 miles and going strong.

165,000 miles and going strong. I love this car. The technology is amazing and very easy to use. The comfort is a plus with the extra leg room in the back seat. The ride is also a plus. Drives like a dream. I would definitely recommend a Lexus and would definitely purchase a Lexus again.

Fully loaded power seats AC sunroof GPS rides smooth with good mileage per gallon. I love the way it handles on the highway. It also has audio system that plays CD and DVD the factory system has a very high quality sound put out. The seats can heat up and cool down with the simple push of a button. There is plenty of trunk space.

Pros from Owners

Ty A.

It is really good on gas and it has a little horsepower that will put you in the back of the seat, it has a sunroof the air works great in luxury, but fast it is a great car to start off with. It looks good in any color. The original speakers sound amazing.

Cons from Owners

Ty A.

It makes a weird sound when it is just running and not moving the parts are expensive, because it is a foreign car. It is really hard sometimes to find parts for the car because it is a older car it is past 10 yrs.
