2000 Lexus LS400 LS review from UK and Ireland
"Superb"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has failed yet.
General comments?
Handling is interesting with or without the VSC, but this car was not designed for "boy-racers". Acceleration is smooth but extremely quick; I can only tell by the way the other cars appear to stand still in the mirror.
I would have preferred a coupe version rather than a whole train carriage. Sat-Nav is very good but I do tend to become dependent on it just following it blindly until I arrive.
I can't see the point of the LS430 to be honest, I think the later the model the uglier these cars get and the differences are very subtle.
I believe it fulfils its intended role perfectly and that includes its understated styling; this car is not for those who want to show off, a bit like a Maserati.
