It’s more comfortable than the german coupes that cost 30-50k more. you can wake up neighbours in a five blocks radius and hear almost nothing when you have the windows up. people who drove lexus and all major german brands will know what I‘m talking about. Even its rwd and weight pretty heavy on paper, it still handles like a small coupe. You will be speeding without noticing it because the cabin is so quiet and you don‘t feel the road. people who has carplay, siri will works a lot better because its so quiet.

I complained about the brakes a year ago as I was one of the first owners of the LC500. They are definitely getting worse. The brakes squeal on a consistent basis which I am told is normal by the dealer. In addition, I have had to take my car in multiple times. Apparently, my passenger side rear wheel starts squealing to the point that the vehicle cannot be driven. The diagnosis is that a rock may have gotten into the wheel??? So the same wheel had a rock dislodged 3 times in a matter of 6 months. I have been driving for 23 years now and own 2 other vehicles--this has never happened to me. Yet, somehow I managed to get a rock stuck in the same wheel 3 times in a short amount of time??? Oh, one more thing, I barely drive this vehicle in Northern VA and never go over unpaved roads. In short, Lexus needs to address this issue ASAP...its embarrassing!!

A great roadsters! You never want to stop driving it.After owning the car for 4 months I need to update my review. I wish I saw other reviews about braking squeals. Just took it in for same squealing front breaks at stops. For a 4 month old car with 3900 miles Lexus states they are aware of problem but does not have fix. A$100k car with this issue known but not solved is unacceptable. Also was informed a recall on fuel injection system is coming but no replacements parts at dealers yet. Owners have not gotten notice yet, only dealers. BEWARE, Lexus does not appear how to build high performance vehicles yet. We are trial owners.

A reliable Aston Martin at half the price

The LC500 is amazing. The best that the Toyota/Lexus team has to currently offer and a thoroughly conceived vehicle. It has its quirks. Quite a few in fact. But the car is just so absolutely incredible in the areas of sound, driving feel, comfort and interior accommodations, that the minor irritants are quickly forgotten.
