"2018 Lexus LS 500 AWD Luxury"

I have had several Lexus LS series cars, and the 2018 LS 500 AWD is very nice however, the ride could be smoother especially considering I have air suspension. I also think the front headroom could be more, but it is adequate. Besides this the car seems very good but time will tell as far as the long term, reliability and maintenance cost are concerned but being a Lexus and the Flagship there should not be any major issues. I have not experienced the car in snow but being AWD snow should not be a problem, but I think the car would be better with a spare tire opposed to run flat tires but run flat tires seems to be where many luxury car manufactures are going now. The Mark Levinson Sound System is great as is the workmanship in general. As far as the V6 Twin Turbo engine is concerned it is ok but the V8 in the past LS 430 and LS 460 was much smoother and seemed to have more power even though the LS 500 is rated with more horsepower and torque. Lastly, a pre-owned 2018 Lexus LS 500 is a great value as was the case when it was new compared to other luxury cars from Mercedes, BMW and Audi.

I have a LS 500 with luxury package and the noise from the inside of car was unbearable. Took it to dealership in Houston Sterling McCall Lexus and they informed me that the noise maybe the sunroof and they would need to break it down and charge me 1500 to see the problem. Now that extremely unheard and since it their flagship and with luxury package they should have done it to find out concerns with dual sunroof and the future problem with other models. Also it should be something covered under warranty since it structural concerns and not wear and tear. They refuse to do the job without charging me for the work.

I leased the LS 500 after owning the typical Germans, primarily for its quality reputation and to avoid the pricey German maintenance. Here are my items for consideration, the moonroof is not quiet with wind noise, which I took back to the dealer and had the same issue with a test car. The rear seat backs do not fold down, limiting cargo space. The trunk opening is very small and makes it difficult to load items in the back of the trunk. No spare but it does have run flat tires. The windshield wipers need instructions on different steps to take with the ignition in order to replace blades. As others have stated, there is a turbo lag with hard acceleration. I don’t like the lane keeping feature as it is very tiring as it tries to stay centered. I miss my Porsche Cayenne

Overalls nice and stylish. Compared to its v8 predecessor noisy and slow acceleration with only 1mpg improvement in fuel economy even in economy mode. No good light in trunk. No light in glove compartment. Single internal glove box so very little storage.

Let me preface my remarks by saying I am comfortably familiar with the Lexus line, having owned a 1998 LS400, followed by a 2007 LS460. When it came time to trade in my LS460, I naturally looked at the LS500 series. The car drives like a dream. The deal killer was the touchpad infotainment system. You knows it’s bad when the salesman has trouble navigating the menu. It’s a terrible distraction when driving and is frankly unsafe to operate when actively driving. ......Lexus you lost a long time customer. I bought a BMW. Change out your touchpad and I’ll consider coming back....
