• Summary

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What does this car say about you?

    Understated luxury - expensive - a not in your face car like a Merc, but those in the know will appreciate just what a superb machine you're driving and that's good enough for me.

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    They've certainly commented positively on it.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    Yes - just because it's so comfortable and Lexus seem to have thought of everything.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    Too early to say but if I continue to enjoy as much as I am currently then the same again!

    Did you buy this car new?

    No

    What price did you pay?

    £36,000

    When did you buy the car?

    November 2015

    Did you get a good deal and why?

    Not really but it was the colour and spec that I wanted, and was brand new inside and out despite the 39K miles on the clock. Even the drivers seat was unmarked and looked like it had never been used.

    Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

    Had wanted one of these special cars for a couple of years.Had tried a Mercedes S350 which was very poor by comparison withe Lexus. Have had lots of different cars over the years and wanted something fast and comfortable, and this fits the bill.

    What was the dealer like?

    Good - not pushy at all and was prepared to spend as much time as necessary with me.

  • Driving it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    What's it like to drive?

    Super comfortable and so smooth, it just glides along. Put the foot down and it really takes off, and I've had some seriously fast cars, so it can move if you want it to, so much so that you'll be surprised at just how fast it is - I certainly was.

    What's it like to park?

    Easy - self parking if you want or just use the sensors and camera.

  • Living with it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Have you had any problems with the car?

    Makes you feel great every time you drive it - make you feel special and superior to other road users!!. Everything works as it should just as you would expect of a Lexus.

    What's most practical about your car?

    Great four seater. Loads of room for everyone - now none fights to get in the front, in fact there's now a fight to get in the back!! This is the 2010 model with the revised grill, hard-drive, revised front seats, and bigger boot, so Lexus have made the most of the cars existing size.

    Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

    Which one to choose when this cars has so many??? Probably the hold button which is great is traffic as it makes it so much more relaxing to drive, not having to use the footbrake to hold the car in stationery traffic.
