I researched numerous vehicles before purchasing my New LS500, and I’m very satisfied with my purchase. This vehicle is very luxurious, comfortable, fun to drive. The massage feature for the driver & front passenger seats is amazing. The reclining rear seats are very comfortable and spacious. The vehicle will definitely turn heads, and inside & out the new LS is definitely a winner.

Drove Jaguars for 22 years. This car is truly magnificent. Comfortable yet still engaging.

This new 2018 LS 500 is my sixth Lexus, and it is far and away better than any of my previous cars. I was reluctant to buy it because of the negative review by Consumer Reports, but they missed the mark in this newly redesigned gem that is patterned after their new LC 500. I rate it at the highest level.

LS 500 perfection

This is my 5th LS sedan. They absolutely knocked it out of the park on this one. Nothing short of stunning to look at. Tons of compliments by week 2. The engine and acceleration beats my M5 from 2005. I cannot get the car to break loose on back country roads. It could not be more planted. I'm talking about taking turns at 80-90 mph. I was playing chase with an S63 AMG coupe yest. I wish I could post the video. It was keeping up with a car that has 700 lb.ft of torque. 2,400 W stereo sounds like a symphony. Massaging seats. Impeccable detail on the Inside. They have caught up and likely exceeded the big German sedans.You can save about $60k compared to MB, BMW, Masserati, etc. I am blown away. It is no longer my old man Lexus.

Another great LS

It is more expensive but this I my fourth LS and they just keep getting better. The depreciation is reasonable and a lot better than a Mercedes, BMW or AUDI. If I were fleeing a gang of criminals, there might be a better car but I do not do that. The reliability of every one of my LS's (2004, 2007, 2013 and now the 2018) has been superb and I value that a lot. I am not that intoxicated by the three pointed star but if I drive 450 miles this car could not be much better and yet every year they improve it. Keep it up Lexus! I have been in Engineering for 45 years and quality of build and reliability are musts. There area lot of great cars out there but you can depend on Lexus and its excellent dealer network. It would be hard for me to go to a different brand. The infotainment system is a bit complicated but if you take a little time you can use it well. The German brands do not perform much if any better and they sure depreciate fast.
