Good car despite of year of the model and it does it job perfectly.
It is not technology advanced but still performs well, it is spacious vehicle with comfortable seats and wide truck. It is good in fuels consumption and the distance per gallon that save me a lot. . Lexus has good dealer that I can rely on when I need.

Lexus is250: short and sweet review.
The car runs reliably, and there are few issues with it, one of which being that it requires premium gas. It looks nice inside and out, but the inside can be a little cramped for larger people. It is not the most up-to-date car, being a 2012 model, but it gets me where I want to go without fail, and that is all I can ask for.

Car review 2012 Lexus. Still my favorite car in 2019.
My car rides really well, it is one of the best ones I have had so far. & it takes a lot for it to run out a whole tank of gas which is always a plus. Also got any 1st time car buyers or family oriented people this will be a good car for you. It is an easy drive and has just enough space for the kids.

Review of my Lexus ls sedan.
Very reliable the performance is great no issues the carpet is hard to vacuum very relatable vehicle you are paying for the name not very luxurious on the inside but very dependable. Takes a lot of gas to fill the tank but lasts a long time not very spacious car on the inside.

Cruising in comfort and luxury.
Great family car. Lots of room and comfortable when driving. Everything is easily accessible and great quality. I have nearly 100,000 miles on mine and still drive smoothly. Never had any major mechanical issues and gets good gas mileage. Luxury with a sporty feel.

A great safe, comfortable, family car with a feeling of luxury.
The car is great and very comfortable, and has been very reliable for our family. We have had some electrical issues with the stereo shorting, but it was easily corrected. The chrome rims do make the tires leak more easily so it is important to check your tire pressure often. Overall this car is a safe and reliable option for families.
