Very reliable sports car. If you need to have more than 4 passengers, forget it. Awsome ride.

Timeless classic

This car is a classic that has a lot of potential. Styling is flawless and timeless. It also has surprisingly good headroom for rear passengers, though legroom is a bit lacking for them. Its certainly not a car built for practicality, given it lacks fold-down seats, but it makes up for looks. It can also return surprisingly impressive fuel efficiency on the highways, even for an 11 year old V8. I've averaged 26-29 MPG depending on speed, no lie.

Loved my Lexus

I loved this car. I had it for four years - never a day passed that I did not think how fortunate I was to own it. I spun out in the rain on the freeway and crashed the rear off side into the central concrete barrier. The wheel was torn off and the wing crumpled, but apart from that no other damage to the car and hardly any to me so I think its body strength is great. I am thankful for it. My only complaints are a too small rear seat, and miniature trunk. As for looks, well, it is beautiful and as, I saw someone else describe, a piece of rolling sculpture.
