I've had my 2021 LS500 AWD for about 14 months. It's had no problems whatsoever. It accelerates well, takes turns with confidence, and the cabin is remarkably quiet. The infotainment system requires a learning curve, but it works well. Build quality is what I expect: top-notch. I'm not trying to impress anybody with what the engine sounds like - I wanted a quiet, comfortable vehicle that I can use for long-distance drives, and it fulfills that requirement marvelously. A few little nits that I never see in reviews from the "experts": (1) the right side mirror and A pillar block quite a bit of the view of oncoming traffic from the right; (2) the rear seat headrests block some rear view and don't fold down (my Volvo could do this ten years ago); and (3) that beautiful, expensive finish on the center cupholder cover reflects a distracting glare. But those are nits. Considering the quality of this automobile, it's a car to buy. Lease a German car, but buy a Lexus. You're paying for quality that will last for years.

A service visit landed me behind the wheel of this spectacular b****. Lexus-loyal since 2011 after dalliances with BMW, Merc, Porsche, I'm a fan. Cons: 1- She is feisty in-hand, learning as we go. It gets irritating, where you wonder whether this is a quasi-launch of the Lexus' self-driving system. 2- The infotainment is anything but: I worry what data it's harvesting. Have the glass-tracking circuitry and all. 3- INFOTAINMENT (again). It's like chasing a squirrel. The touchpad is a jittery joke, the controls don't save preferences, and I'm tired of the ever-present map. Split-screen, it's there. Vue or not. It goes FULL-SCREEN anytime a major shift occurs. Like freeway exits. Or on-ramps. I HATE THE EVER-PRESENT MAP. PROS: 1- Better pickup than my 2013 GS 350 F-Sport in S+ mode, in pretty much every mode. 2- Identical fuel efficiency to aforementioned Lexus. 3- IT TURNS HEADS. (I did have a fancy ceramic 3M tint applied, to enhance the sexy juxtaposition of Eminent White Pearl on black stitched leather/suede and rare artwood, but still. She's got me (a doll) beat in looks. 3- She offers an inventive, generous menu of drive modes to spice things up. 4- The girl's turbo engine kicks her predecessors' asses in speed, handling, pickup, and across-the-board, as big as she is. 5- That practically razor-thin panoramic glass roof. I really want to say ceiling here: Ultimately, I am no feminist or lesbian. [Or whatever of the 70+ over "straight female" orientations now exist. My Millenial sisters' college educations scare me.] 6- This is a 50/50 depending on your 'tude-at-time: Everyone wants to race. 7- This is 100% all-the-time: The satisfaction of kicking its peers (and other wannabes') asses. She is big, but impressively lithe. 8- She's from the right family. Low drama, low maintenance. Overall: A fine car purchased new with 187 mi ODO, built-to-spec for a local Goliath who happens to own the local Lexus franchises felt it was "too aggressive" in stance (she is now attempting a buyback). Her loss, my gain.

I drove on my ls 500 awd 37.500, Miles the car does not have a good suspension system, tire Donlop run flat are good only in dry weather, they are very expensive and wear out every 20/25 thousand, the interior of the car is small for such a luxury car, the trunk is also small

A Race Car

2018 Lexus LS 500 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl Turbo 10A)

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.
