Great car for the money
Considered Lexus GS and BMW 530i but for few dollars more got awesome V8 power, an audio system that can't be beat (unless you want to pay $5K for a Levinson radio), and a vehicle that gets admiring stares . You won't feel connected to the road as with BMW, but way better than Lexus in that regard. The steering is tight and perfectly weighted and the brakes are great -- also unlike Lexus. This car is fast.
Very Good Car
Excellent, quiet ride with lots of technology (backup camera, sport setting, etc.). You can buy these used for very cheap now, and the quality is excellent. The only issue I've had is oil burnoff (no leaks, etc. - oil consumption is high for some reason). But I haven't had any breakdowns and the car has been bullet-proof. I get 21 MPG (70% highway), which isn't bad for a car this big with so much power.
I still love this car.
This is the best car I've ever owned. By now, I'm usually bored with my vehicle and ready to replace. Almost 4 years later and I still love my car. I am the 3rd owner of my '02 Sport, I bought mine in August 2011 with 116K for $7K, a steal at the time. It now has 165K on the odometer and in those 50 thousand miles all I've had to fix was one wheel bearing (other than routine tires/brakes/plugs). That's fantastic. The routine maintenance is costlier than most cars but not wallet breaking. This is like a "Japanese BMW" that doesn't ride so stiff.
Satisfying but pricey
The power is great, but it drinks up gas as well. In the winter, with only city driving, I'm getting only 10.3 mpg-summer time it goes back up to 17. I love the comfort, and the V8 engine is absolutely silent. Maintainance is pretty expensive as well with even the smallest of problems. Just bought new tires for $900. This car is ultimate luxury for the price your paying. The car is heavy, but the power it's backed up with makes up for it. Personally, I love the car, but the maintainance is getting a bit too pricey for me.
21st Century Q
This car is fast! Almost as fast as my 2001 supercharged Jaguar XJR. The Q has a soft, luxury car ride, however, which my wife and I greatly appreciate on long trips. The interior of this car is not as luxurious as the Jaguar, but is quite plush and superior to the LS430 in my opinion. Build quality is excellent and there have been no defects or problems in the year that I have owned it.
