Driving
Impressive drive. Feels solid on the road, and inspires confidence.
Performance
Very quick with confidence mid-range acceleration. Makes one feel in control on the motorway if rapid, safe overtaking is required.

Living with it
Reliability
It seems so far that nothing ever wants to go wrong with this car. Exceptionally reliable.
Image
One feels confident driving a Lexus. The badge is prestigious, and the looks of admiration one gets are a bonus.
Comfort
Overall a very comfortable car, soaks up bumps with ease. Suspension finely balanced between sport and comfort. Engine could be quieter at speed.

Security and Service
Security
No problems so far. I was impressed by the feature that automatically re-locks all doors if none of them is opened 30 seconds after the remote control OPEN button is activated. Good for accidental unlocking or if one is distracted after remote unlocking.
Service
Lexus dealers make you feel really special, and they really know their cars inside out.
