Faults:

Hood gas struts weak, replaced under warranty.

Nothing else.

General Comments:

Definitely the best car I've ever owned.

The car gets 26mpg cruising a 75 mph, even better at lower speed.

Extremely smooth and quiet.

Transmission and engine are gems.

Sneaky fast, it's so composed doing it that it comes as a shock to see how quickly and fast it can move.

The brakes are very powerful and smooth.

While no sports car, it does handle very well for a car its size and type. Larger tires would probably make it even better.

The Nakamichi stereo is outstanding, great sound and depth.

I basically have nothing negative to say about it.

Faults:

The Car has only been to the dealer for scheduled maintenance. This car is a very good choice.

General Comments:

I owned a 93 LS 400. It was totaled in an accident with 168000 miles on it. I was not planning on replacing it soon.

The (newer) car is such a dream. You will be impressed by the interior upgrades, wood trim, Nakamichi stereo.

I was all smiles the first time I drove it at night and recognized the self leveling HID headlamps.

The fuel economy is excellent for a 8 cylinder automobile.

Faults:

The car has front right strut noise that has not been able to be diagnosed correctly.

General Comments:

Lexus makes the best car out there for the money.

The dependability and quality are truly exceptional.

This is my fourth Lexus and I will stick with Lexus for life.

The Navigational system has some bugs, but over all quality ranks 8 out of 10.

Stereo system truly rocks!

The interior is very comfortable including velvet soft leather through out.

Body is long and sleek. I always get looks when I am in my car. This car is absolutely gorgeous. One notices that a lot of thought and care was put into the design of the 1998 LS400.
