Pursuit of Perfection

Advantages: Superb
Disadvantages: Expensive

...is the flagship car for Lexus and has all the latest gadgetry. These are too numerous to mention so I'll only mention those nice suprises such as the glass which protects against UVA/B, the auto-dip mirrors and getting out after 600 miles and not having to stretch. In spite of the latest technology, the car is utterly reliable. The effort has clearly been put into the design of the car in many ways which you won't even know or appreciate. It has ...
...neutral. The only bad thing I can think of is that it's too big. A coupé like the old BMW 6 series or Merc SEC would be nice rather than the sports coupé that Lexus have made. I plan to keep it for a good many years. ...

Review of Lexus LS 400

You'll never find an unhappy LS owner, will you ?

Advantages: Rarer and better than European Equivalents
Disadvantages: Expensive to run, Brake disks warp every 6000 miles !!!

...ever heared great things about Lexus and the LS430 that may be about to change, ever so slightly I have just paid my local Lexus franchise the ridiculous sum of £650 ( approx USD $1,000) to have my oh so unreliable brakes fixed, so although I have been overjoyed with the car as a whole I'm writing this review at my most vulnerable moment ever as a Lexus owner, in fact, the last time I felt this way about a lexus, my old IS200 ( brakes issues again ...
...2, having had a Lexus IS200 previously I knew that the car would be very very well built, utterly reliable and would outlast any European car in its class 3, My competitors nearly all run fleets of S Class Mercedes, if you want to hire an S Class for the day you can get a very cheap rate because every Tom, Dick & Harry in this business has one, I wanted something a touch better that would differentiate my company from the masses, The LS430 is very ...

Review of Lexus LS 430

Lexus IS220d a great value package

Advantages: Quiet, Comfortable, well specified, great service from dealer
Disadvantages: Below average MPG, Dashboard rattle

I have had a Lexus IS220D as a company car since October 2007. I still get into the car after two years and think wow! The car feels well built and smooth to drive, it is very quiet for a diesel engined car and some people have thought it was a petrol. I have had a couple of niggles though, the dashboard developed a rattle after about 3500 miles but it was delat with swiftly by the local Lexus dealer with no issues at all. 'Ownership' has been a ...
...a courtesy car has been provided and the car comes back to me spotlessly clean. Servicing bills have been very reasonable. Fuel economy has been the cars Achilles heel though returning 37 MPG on average (I'm not the lightest of right footed people!) On a whole though I love this car, it still turns heads as it isn't as common as a BMW 320d or an Audi A4, and I'm seriously considering keeping it for an extra year on the company lease. ...

Review of Lexus IS 220d

Lexus GS 300 interior fitting and fixing!

Advantages: A very different car to be seen in, great fun to drive on country roads, full of character!!
Disadvantages: Expensive to fuel, noisy engine at times,

...have decided to sell my Lexus GS 300 (mainly because my other half keeps banging on about the cost of running it!) In order to help sell, and because the car was broken into and vandalised (literally slashed most of the seats) I went about searching for an all leather interior upgrade, as mine was an odd two tone black and red cloth. After much searching online and on ebay I found a breakers yard in Enfield, London called 0800 SPARES I think, absolutely ...
...Leicester, but it was worth it! The interior is immaculate and I will be fitting it asap, cant wait! I was like a kid in a candy shop- "oooh and i'll have that radiator, and that trim pack, and those carpet mats, and that mirror glass " you get the picture. They have loads of old and new stripped out cars all racked in parts, like every man secretly wants his garage to be like! I know that once the interior is in, and the new radiator and other bits ...

Review of Lexus GS 300/430

This car could be the new Knight Rider...but nicknamed Lex !

Advantages: it has voice recognition...like outta Knight Rider
Disadvantages: Hefty monthly re-payments

...being reviewed is the 2010 Lexus RX. The new RX Lexus is here ! Its all new and all fabulous. The engine is the RX 350, it?s gotta V6 275 horsepower engine, it comes with a 6 speed sequentially shift automatic transmission. This car also comes with a RX 450 hybrid engine version that has 295 horsepower..it has 3 electric engines.. 1 engine for the transmission and the starter, 1 engine to drive the front wheels and another engine for the rear wheel ...
...the previous generation. But what Lexus have done with this generation..is that the headlights will turn as you turn round the corner..what they'll do is anticipate where your gunna be a few seconds down the road. So depending on your speed and the turn angle of the steering wheel..you can see enough of the road of where your turning into. At the tail end some ?shenan-aggins? are a foot with windshield wipers and vehicle antenna...The winshield ...
