The engineering is for show, not go, however, and you may notice a difference between the Swedish cars and the Lexus in that respect. Are you saying that they look good but aren't as reliable as a Saab or |
My 900 was certainly built strong and for performance.
And leather, aircon, electric everthing with a 2litre turbo motor in
1984 felt pretty special with 130k miles on the clock at 20 years old.
I'm hoping that a Lexus can live upto that and improve on it.

WRONG ... it is NOT a true driver's car, but it most certainly IS a true luxury car. If you disagree, which I KNOW you do, be specific. For the sheer fun of driving, the 6&7 series BMWs and S series Mercedes win hands down ... at a cost. Is the LS perfect?? nope ... but it is right up there. Thanks. No car is perfect. |
Most Porsches can't carry passengers.
Most S classes are built for the rear passengers not the driver
and I guess most LS400s are the same. A compromise, but I hope a good
one I can live with.

| I suspect that the engineering in the Saab is better and more user-friendly or user-oriented than in the Lexus. The Lexus will, however, probably outlast anything else on the road. So tonight it was about 52 F out. I went out, got into my LS430, started it up. The windshield and the side windows fogged up because the heater was on. That is luxury????? I drove off and of course the air blowing out of the side vent in the dash cooled off. I could have warmed it up by turning the temp up to around 80, but I figured I had a jacket on and it would keep me warm until I finished my short 5 mile drive. In that time the seat heater just barely came on. Again - luxury???? |
That would solve all of your problems.

When I was looking I googled on "lexus ls400" and found reviews in lots of places. I've had a 1993 LS400 for five years, I'll give you some info below. sorry to reply to my own post, but the above is typo. Mine is a 1998. No worries and when I say European feel I mean like a Jag/Merc/Beemer not like a very tightly sprung normal jap family car or the alternative being a wallowing pitching american import with over soggy soft springs. |
sporty feel and driver invovlement. The Lexus is more oriented toward
smoothness and quiet luxury. Different goals. I suggest you google on
"lexus ls400" you'll find plenty of objective reviews from many sites,
some of which compare it with those cars.

So, as long as it has had belts done at the appropriate times (and pump hopefully) and a comprehensive service history, they really are as generally bomb proof as they say? |
size of 1 however.
