I'm 6'7" and this car fits me the best of any car out there. I test drove 3 BMW's(330, 540, 740), 2 Mercedes (C class, E class), & 3 Audi's( A4, A6 [including all engine types], A8. Hands down, this one had the most room and just felt the best. And the 300 horses...Yee-haa! This is the best car I have ever owned. I slap on winter tires & have never had a problem in the snow. I will trade in for a GS430/SC430 in the next yr

This car is the perfect car for someone who wants value as well as luxury and sport in their sedan. I admit though, the car isn't as fun to drive as a Bimmer but it's definitely got nicer amenities. Whenever people ride with me, they don't believe that my car is almost 6 years old. It hides its age well. But what you really want to know is, if I had to do it all over would I buy it again? Definitely.

This is one of the BEST luxury sport rocket money can buy. I really love the design concept, the overall built quality and the best part of it-the VIP treatment I experienced in the dealership.The responsiveness of the engine, I can say-outstanding!I am very happy and satisfied with this car,the dealership/staff treatment and the compliments I get everywhere I go. I truly am happy and too young to own a LEXUS!!!
