Owned a Benz that was horribly expensive when repairs were needed. My Lexus is an excellent road car. When you look world wide in the jungles of Africa to the middle east most are driving Toyota. Lexus is a fancy Toyota . Great car!!

If you want a great ride, this is the car. This is my 3rd Lexus, and I haven’t been let down yet. Take care of this car, it takes care of you.

I bought my LS 500 brand new back in 2018 and it has been one disappointment after another. In my head, the LS 500 was the ultimate luxury vehicle, so I was excited to buy the car. I had test driven an LS 500 3-years prior to when I bought my car, so I didn’t test drive the car I purchased. I looked at the highest priced car on the lot and that was the one I picked. Had I test driven the car I would’ve realized that the LS 500 is today more of a sports car than a luxury car. I absolutely hate my car and I blame myself for not doing the homework. The salesman at the dealership knew that I didn’t want a sports car. I’m in my late 50s, and I don’t want to be one of those ridiculous old men going through a mid-life crises driving a cool sports car. I paid almost $150K for a car that doesn’t have climate controls in the back for my passengers. Within 30-seconds, I had my parents complaining from the back. I had to freeze myself for them to be comfortable. The seats in the back are uncomfortable. If I want comfortable seats in the back, I was supposed to order the Executive package. To pay almost $150K for a fancy Toyota, I expected to get comfortable seats all around. The 2018 LS 500 doesn’t have a spare tire, because it’s more important for the car to be 45-lbs lighter. It’s lighter for it to be faster. I didn’t know that I was buying a race car. As soon as my balance is low enough to not lose any money, I will immediately sell my race car and abandon Lexus forever. I don’t mean to be so dramatic, but my disappointment goes very deep.

A dangerous car to drive

This is the only new car I ever bought and returned in 24 hours. Being a long distance driver and depending on 'cruise control' for most of my driving, Lexus decided to eliminate the very convenient cruise control lever and switch to buttons on the right side of the steering wheel. Besides the cruise control buttons, there are 5 other buttons in the same area, so to be sure you're pushing the right button, you need to take your eyes of the road, which is very dangerous. Very poor design. Additionally, the 'computer like mouse pad', which the driver needs to use in order to navigate around their infotainment center, is almost impossible to use while driving without the driver taking their eyes off the road. Very poor thinking and no regard for the safety of the driver or his passengers by Lexus. Neither the sales person nor a 'techie' at the dealership couldn't figure out how to correctly use the mouse pad to accomplish all its functions. The interior, which was to be 'parchment', had far too much dark brown on the dash, doors, etc. My mistake was buying this LS500 without taking it out for a test drive.
