The Lexus coupe shot onto our screens in a great advert driving through a deserted Rome - until the roof came down and the world was let in.
I was going to buy a mercedes slk but one look at the lexus changed my mind. The price was cheaper than the equivalent mercedes and the performance figures as good. It used similar technology to fold the roof as the mercedes and had a very high safety and security score. It was a bit heavy to drive and the tail could swing easily in wet weather but all in all it was a great car.
The downside was the fuel and insurance expense but you get the same in the mercedes. The only other thing I found was that the Lexus got sneered at by other premium marque car owners.
Their loss.

Sorry. There's no information that would help me make a buying decision here. Try using the good advice below. Let me know if you re-write.

Think about the purchase of a car. Would you buy one based on reading your review ? Be honest. Then think of ciao guidelines for writing reviews. Write a review as if the person you are writing it for (like me in this case) knows nothing about the car whatsoever (and I don't). Read a few car reviews. Come back and edit by pressing the blue button at the top of your review page, and tell the whole story. I shall gladly rerate if you do. Rachel X
