1995 Lexus LS400 review from North America
"Top shelf"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seat heaters have stopped working -- probably a fuse.
Nakamichi sound system fades occasionally.
A/c evaporator needs replacing (leaked, lost refrigerant)
General comments?
Generally a really nice vehicle. I bought it because I've always wanted one of these, and now, I have it! The fact that I have all the service records since new from the one previous owner is a plus, too. It's fast, quiet, safe, has great resale value, and a real presence on the road.
Great sound system, strong V8, roomy, comfortable interior, and reasonable (but not great) fuel mileage for a car of its size and power.
It's nice to own the best car the brand makes of that year. A quality-made automobile; It shows pride in the way it was put together. So far, I'm very satisfied!
My other car is an older Mercedes S-Class, and it's easy to tell that Lexus used that car as a benchmark. Both are great, classy rides with a different driving flavour to each.
