Expensive sedan low creature comfort
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.

"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.

Still a great car!
After reviewing cars in the same class, still come back to the good old LS, for the quietness in the cabin, soft ride, understated style and superb workmanship.
No go......
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....

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.
