1998 Lexus LS400 review from North America
"Best car I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing.
General comments?
This is my second Lexus - wife owns a 2002 RX300. The 1998 LS400 is hands down a significantly better car than the 2002 RX even though it is 4 years older and has 40,000 more miles.
Still quiet with 90,000 miles and have never had any issues as of yet.
Next purchase this summer - 2004 or 2005 LS430 - I love this car that much. Probably will never buy anything else (outside of the Lexus family) unless I just had money to burn as the reliability is the best with Lexus versus BMW or Mercedes.
