Used 2020 Lexus LS 500 Consumer Reviews
Entertainment/Navigation System is DREADFUL
Having owned Lexus"s of the past, there is no way to get this navigation system to work easily. It is IMPOSSIBLE and needs some updating to s touch screen. The car is a good car otherwise, but super overpriced. I traded in my car with 6200 miles after the last attempt with the navigation system.

Disappointing in style after the LS460
I don't like the looks (body style - the front grill, tail lights or the side). The wheels are nice(on the model I have). The car is uncomfortable to get in and out of (I'll be trading for SUV). At first I didn't like the dash but have gotten used to it. I still hate the "pigs ears"(those two switches to select the type of ride). I do love the giant 12"infotainment screen but hate that it's not touch screen. The interior is nice and comfortable. My model didn't come with Levinson sound and what's there is average. There was no carplay but Lexus was able to add it to my existing system. I wish the fuel door and trunk release were higher up and illuminated. I've had problems (which dealer has not been able to permanently fix) where the fuel door won't open when you press the button and it won't pry open. Gas mileage is great for this size of car and despite what Lexus says I have used regular (87) gas for my 66K's worth of miles. Run-flat tires are lousy and Lexus better go back to including a spare. The brand needs a complete redesign of this 500 (maybe a LS550 or something). Save your money and avoid this one.

A wreck waiting to happen
I bought the LS 500.not completely understanding just how dangerous the technology package is. The design is so not user friendly. The tiny touchpad that is at gearshift level is extremely sensitive and not easy to navigate. I love the way the car drives, but this set up makes it NOT WORTH THE PURCHASE. Also I should hv gotten a voice command system w touchscreen at eye level. Looking down all the time is so Dangerous. Also my tire shredded literally at 3k miles . It took manufacture 6 months after that to recall all 4 tires. I was very scared to drive the car. When it happened I was going 80. The car swerved all over the highway. If there had been a car near me it most likely would hv been fatal. The absolute most terrifying experience I hv evr.been through. The dealer did reimburse me. I feel they should have replaced all the sorry ass runflats way sooner then they did. I drive all over us. Buying this lexus 500 LS has this far been a horrible DANGEROUS mistake . I also own a 460 LS that I hv 100k miles and still Love.

2018 Lexus LS 500
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!!
