First Lexus, fun to drive, great handling on curves, brakes excellent. Comfortable seats, lacks storage next to driver. Love it!

No doubt this car gets up and goes, almost justifies the dismal sub 20mpg performance although in today's cars there's little excuse for such horrible mileage. The dealership lied saying it wasn't premium gas, I hate "anything to get the sale" salesmen and that's Seattle Lexus spot on. Even complaining to their manager gets you no return phone call (no cussing or disrespect if you were thinking that) as promised. The voice recognition is beyond a joke and yes I did the voice training, no difference. Why can't I buy up to the auto-braking system when it's in the software? Seriously no 120v to make up for your seriously underpowered USB that face up to let things fall into them, bluetooth that works then doesn't. Who designed this thing, the seats are like rocks? Pretty, powerful but not tech friendly. You can get a lot more tech centric cars for a lot less and maybe a decent MPG.

Coming from an older Lexus model, it definitely is a different feel but that same luxury ride. I also have a Honda pilot so this sits significantly lower so I would take extra precautions on potholes and bumps, sharp turns hit smoothly but that undercarriage is delicate. It can go smooth for high speeds and runs a nice driver experience with the paddle shifters but if you want something cheap, the Lexus is not it. My Honda pilot is 2018 and with both cars at 60k miles, they resale the same value. If you are leasing, have all the fun. Buying and financing, it is relatively expensive to maintain but not as expensive to maintain as say my older Lexus or a higher luxury like a BMW may be (roughly $1000 a year for maintenance). I regret nothing in buying the car but it is something you have to take a great deal of caring for to keep running.
Cute little ride!

This is our second Lexus and I highly suggest buying new. We got a used Lexus and absolutely loved it until the engine went out and stopped cold. Now this new one is under warrantee and we hopefully will never have that problem again. It is very comfortable and runs very smooth. But as mentioned in other reviews, the mouse is very distractible . Otherwise, great little car.

One of my favorite cars ever. Fast and handles great. I did several road trips and the car was comfortable, avg 25 mpg when using eco mode. Great driving on hilly curvy roads. Small enough to zip around town and fits in tight parking spaces. Ventilated seats were ideal. The only option I didn’t have was remote start. Only con was having to use premium gas. I had offset tires so they couldn’t be rotated but it looked and drove so much better it was worth it.
