Used 2023 Lexus LS 500 Consumer Reviews
Overall a great luxury car
The base car is well equipped and is engineered and manufactured extremely well. The interior looks great and is clearly thought out. A couple of minor issues. The safety features are very good. The front drivers seat appears to have a little to much of a bolster so it feels like I'm not all the way down in the seat. I am big, so for most I maybe OK. The cars tends to correct itself when centering itself in the lane on the freeways. Maybe that just takes getting used too. Overall a great car.

Overall best car we have experienced
Purchased the 2020 LS in November 2019 , birthday gift for my wife. We have owned a few Lexus vehicles in the past . Overall she loves the car . I have giving her the option of the 2020 LC or the New 911 2020 , after test driving the three cars she preferred the LS. As a CPA she loves it. I own a 2019 NX an honestly enjoyed it very much a very versatile suv . Lexus historically has been a very dependable automobile company choice for us overall. For the investment and reliability it’s our best choice.

Reliably good car but terrible technology
This is my 4th LS. Besides the expected quality and reliability, this is a fun car to drive. Not as velvety as the prior 3, but smooth enough for the added driving experience. Seats and cabins are comfortable. Now to the horribly unreliable technology. The worst is the voice recognition. It's utterly worthless. The process to navigate through the various functions is dangerous because of the poor design, but it's flaky nature makes it even more dangerous. The climate control is awful. The foot under trunk sensor has worked twice and both times I didn't mean to make it work. Its never worked when I've tried. And the anti collision sensors are WAY to sensitive. I've pulled up to shrubs in a parking lot a little quick and the car unexpectedly slams on the breaks and sounds an alarm. Scares the crap out of you. If they could just dual in the technology the car would get a 5 from me
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.
