Used 98 GS400

Got this car about one year ago, used with 72000km. I used to drive an manual RX-7. The GS400 is not as fast, of course, but close. It is one of the fastest automatic four-door sedan you can buy. I think only the Mercedes E55 and C32 AMG cars are faster. Rear wheel drive is not bad at all because the skid control corrects any mistakes. I use winter tires and the snow driving mode in Toronto's snow and got no problem at all. Best car I have had. No complain.

This is really a great car. I had to give up an 01 Mustang GT when we had our first kid. I wanted to replace it with something that was fast, yet practical. How can you beat this car? It is as fast as my Mustang and faster than just about everything on the road. The only quicker sedans are things like the E55 & M5. Mine is a 1998 and it looks like a new car. Fit & finish are just super. I used to be a 'buy American", but after owning this car, I wonder how the Big 3 will even stay in business. The quality is just at another level. It is just a NICE car than also happens to be VERY fast. The only competition are the 540 & E430 which are slower and less reliable. You can't go wrong

Own 2 of these models, just can't get myself to let them go. The smooth linear power, ability to pass folks on the highway and the reliability -- unparalleled for sure. Once you drive a V8, it's hard to go back to anything else. Gas mileage has been consistent and with regular routine maintenance this car will go on forever. Love, love this car. The only problem is that you can't find one with low miles and if you do, you should buy it -- you will NOT regret!

The first time I test drove this car I sat in it and thought I was in a lazy boy, then I stepped on the gas, whoa. Ive owned quite a few muscle cars in my days and this was no comparison. It leaped of the road but with a control you could feel and the sound was all buisness. Everything in the car is laid out in good reach. I am now sold on buying another lexus in the future as is my whole family. The price is a little more than other cars but you really do get what you pay for.
