Lexus LS Saloon (2000-)

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The least expensive of the uber-saloons, but best equipped and most reliable. That's what I call value.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Predictably dear to service, and thirsty as all V8's. All as expected though.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Lovely to drive, truly lovely.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Not sporty, but very fast in a muted way.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    A legend or reality? So far 100%, and Lexus owners all seem to concur.

    Image

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Less arrogant than the fine German cars, so if you need to boost your flagging image, stick to cock-waving behind a three pointed star. This car is for people who are content with their own image, and want an excellent car above all else. Nice image!

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Impeccable! Interior luxury beyond your wildest dreams, and quite the nicest place to sit anywhere in the world. I really miss this car when on holiday.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Apparently one of the best. I'll leave the rest to the dummies though.

    Service

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Lexus Hatfield: Quite astonishing olde worlde levels of manners and service. Quite breathtaking!
