"Great car for anyone looking for power and luxury"
What things have gone wrong with the car?

General comments?
When looking for a car, kept my mind and options open. did not want to spend a fortune, but wanted power and luxury. The soarer fit the requirements beautifully. Spent $14000 on car.
Fantastic car to drive, ride and handling are exceptional. Power a plenty if you want to give it a boot full of gas. Fuel efficient with general around town driving. Average 12klms per litre around town. Took it to an area where I could put it through it's paces. Fuel economy dropped dramatically getting 8 Klms per litre when averaged out.
The car looks good, and people comment about the feel they get riding in the car. It is a head turner without the noise and attention grabbing spoilers and graphics. It holds it own if you want to get silly and race off from the lights. Many a commodore and ford are left behind from the lights, V8's included.
I would highly recommend the car to anyone wanting to have a vehicle that performs as well as gives the added luxury appeals of ride and finish. I have the luxury model soarer, so it has quite a few Lexus add ons with the more potent 2.5 litre six cylinder motor with the twin turbos for that extra boost when needed.
