Lexus LS 4.0 V8 4d Auto (90) (1991/H) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Luxury at a good price. Not a family car though, too thirsty.
Costs
Dealer services slightly above average Japanese I suppose. Parts expensive and not always necessary as dealers will not try and fix just replace (but they all do that).

On the road
Driving
Smooth and comfortable. No sports car by any means but if you want that buy, well a sports car.
Performance
Surprisingly swift. Loves motorway cruising.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Power steering leaks cause havoc with alternator. Seat motors are not designed to lift a fat previous owner. Brake calipers do not like being left for a week or so.
Image
Definitely a car for those that know cars. Number of times that people had to check the name on forecourts. Great.
Comfort
Quietness is legendary (and true). Seats like armchairs. Controls well thought out and easy to get to.

Security and Service
Service
Lexus UK are great, service and franchise dealers are over rated.
