Pros
Reliability
It’s a Lexus. I’d also say FUEL ECONOMY is very good for a luxury V8 car. At 70mph I get 28mpg+ on the Hwy with A/C off (25-26mpg when it’s on).
Ride and Handling
With the F Sport pkg you have the option to dial sportier, firmer (more fun) handling or go with the plush ride for which the LS is known.
Interior Space
good front seat space, GREAT rear foot room.
Cons
Cost to Maintain
I knew this going in, but a premium car, even a reliable one, needs regular servicing, and Lexus ain’t cheap.
Technology and Entertainment
The tech in this car is behind most cars from 2017. Why, because the tech was based on 3G cell networks but now that phones are at 5G, Lexus stopped supporting all 3G products as of 2022 so this top of the line sedan has no connectivity/tech other than Bluetooth and Satellite Radio (subscription needed). Most of the apps are useless. Shame.
Cabin Noise
The otherwise silent cabin is occasionally besot with a high pitched moan/whine coming from the sunroof gasket which deteriorates prematurely on these cars and the only way to fix it is the lubricate the rubber gasket and cross your fingers. Otherwise you have to replace the ENTIRE sunroof because the gasket is BUILT INTO THE SUNROOF (dumb design).
Pros
Reliability
The longest dependable manufacturer in the industry …
Styling
I’m a first time Lexus owner coming from a Mercedes Benz S-Class owner since 1995. New Believer!
Ride and Handling
It reminds me of the 99’ S-Class 500 on Steroids…
Cons
Braking
very sensitive to brake dust
