1993 Lexus LS400 review from North America
"Lexus wanted to make a car that would run forever, and that car is the LS400"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
O2 sensor went bad after a few hundred miles of ownership. Cost $23 to fix it :)
General comments?
Most solid car I have ever owned. Solid meaning it holds the road very well and doesn't have any annoying creaks or rattles. The interior was build well with no cheap plastic.
I just fully serviced the vehicle after buying it, and it rides like a dream; idles perfectly and feels great.
The only thing I don't like about this car is the gas mileage, but I think the good dominates the bad with this car. I know of at least 5 other guys who own this car and they all love it. None of us have ever had any serious problems with it.
I honestly feel like this car is going to run forever. 180,000 miles on the clock and it runs better than any other car I have driven.
