Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Verrrry smooth, quiet, refined. Goes quickly if you boot it and handles really well for a car of this weight. Its not eager to go fast and you can hear the engine when you do. Normally you can't really hear the engine at all.
What's it like to park?
Easy. Good visibility and great parking sensors. No rear wiper as it is a saloon so not so good in the rain.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No. I haven't had it long and it is a Lexus. I intend to get any spares on breakeryard.com to save money.
What's most practical about your car?
Loads of room, great to drive and very comfortable. Boot is ok but difficult to get to front part of it. Saloon, so no folding seats.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The Mark Levinson Stereo is just unbelievable, in a class all of its own. Too many other gadgets to list. Absolute pleasure to drive and I have owned many cars.
