The ultimate Lux Cruiser
Take 60 years of the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser and add Lexus refinement on top of it, and this is the perfect vehicle for me. Built like a tank to have a service life of at least 25 years. I couldn't be happier.

Solid but ancient.
A luxury SUV with great looks both inside and out with a first class ultra comfortable interior. Built like a tank but ride can be very bouncy except at low speeds, brakes require significant effort, and, until the car gets up to speed the steering can be stiff and heavy with no way to adjust. Little difference between comfort and sport suspension options. Marc Levinson stereo is the best of any car. A remarkably quiet vehicle. Air conditioning, unlike in some cars, is totally automatic, quickly cools the car and is totally silent. Had a new Range Rover and 3 days after I took delivery it was in the shop for a week due to a transmission problem and the wait for parts to fix it, so no more Range Rovers. Range Rover interior is beautiful but it looks more like business class than first class like the Lexus. Range Rover resale was an issue at trade in.

Never owning another Lexus
Bought a 2020 LX after owning 4 Toyota Land Cruisers (2020 LX is the same as 2021. The only reason we decided on the LX was because it has suspension - it lowers to the ground when parked. We wanted that for the elderly people in our family, and they have been in our car twice in two years. The pickup is absolutely horrible - so much slower than the land cruiser. Its in the shop every four months (granted, we've put 60,000 miles in two years), but when the service people say later that day, its three days later we get it back. Another thing is when you hit 60 MPH, the steering wheel starts to vibrate. We told the service team when it was in the shop and they never fixed it. We also like the rugged look of the land cruiser much better. The infotainment is awful. The mouse is totally unnecessary (although you get used to it) and you can't control whether the air is blowing at you face or at your feet without using the mouse and clicking a bunch of buttons on the screen. Super inconvenient. The fact that the car doesn't have apple car play is mind boggling. with the Lexus Inform bluetooth system the phone will randomly;y disconnect and won't play music unless, again, like the climate system, use the mouse and click a bunch of buttons. Imagine trying to type in an address to the navigation system! The Mark Levinson surround sound system doesn't work either. We didn't have this many issues with all four land cruisers combined (we've owned land cruisers since 1994, and we currently have a 2015). Also not a fan of the color choices. Wanted silver (the silver the land cruiser had) but we had to opt for the Atomic Silver which is like a gold-tan-gray-brown. We also have red interior and it has black accents, which is really hard to see in the dark if you drop something. Unfortunately they have stopped land cruiser production in the US so we can't trade in for another one. Looking in to trading in the LX for a different car because o all the problems - and we won be purchasing another Lexus EVER. So disappointed with the car in general, and with the service. All the hype is not worth it. Not happy with it at all. DO NOT BUY!!!

Great in some ways, but definite issues
Nice large vehicle with good safety features such as numerous, well distributed airbags. I consider the 6000 pound weight a bit of a safety feature as well. Has a number of issues which would place this vehicle between a 3 and 4 star rating for me. I had a 2011 model which I traded for a 2016. The engine in the newer model is more sluggish, and if a more rapid acceleration is desired, the engine sounds like a 4 cylinder that is about to throw a rod. The 2011 engine and transmission strangely seemed quite superior.This is usually sold with the 21 inch wheels, and as I found out after purchase, that Dunlop is the only manufacturer of a tire this size. Not a very good tire and I am at this moment in my 3rd week without being able to drive my car because the tires are nationally on a back order. The vehicle is sitting at my Lexus dealer, who doesn't really know what to tell me at this point. The screens for watching television in the back seat stick so far off of the backs of the front seats that they encroach on the headspace of the rear seat passengers. I found this almost scary when I sat in the back seat. Anti-lock brake mechanism is not smooth and if hard braking is required, the tires seem to skip around on the road. Not sure how much of this is due to the tire quality versus the anti-lock quality.
