1990 Lexus LS400 LS review from Australia and New Zealand
"The greatest car I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very little power steering leakage - bought it unknowingly.
Little cracked coolant reservoir - bought it unknowingly.
General comments?
This is the best car I have ever had.
Why?
It runs smoothly, has great power, no noise from the inside of the car.
If I want to race and beat the other drivers, just switching to a power mode can beat most of the cars on the road.
When climbing a very steep hill, it goes normal without much of extra effort, and most amazingly, it does not lose the speed!!
Seats are comfortable and the back seats are the best.
The interior and exterior looks great. I bought this car from a 78 year old Spanish gentleman and he kept it so well.
I just had it serviced from Lexus dealer in Canberra and they were very helpful. The service was great and I could feel it as soon as I started the car. (15000k was too much without a service.)
The 7 speaker sound system is great to listen to music, although I would not mind a sub.
At the end of the day, I am very happy with this car, and whenever I go back to the car, I feel happy that I own it.
