1991 Lexus LS400 LS review from Australia and New Zealand
"A magnificent car with muscles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The temperature gauge blew out after the few weeks. This is a common problem!
Some of the light bulbs on the instrument panel have begun to fade.
Front seat belts have begun to wear
prematurely.
Brake pads tend to wear too easily.
General comments?
My Lexus is an excellent car that is worth buying.
Considering its age it still outperforms most other luxury cars in terms of noise control, stereo system and standard features.
Although the exterior and interior looks outdated, this car still has the ability to impress passing traffic.
The dark grey leather trim and the dashboard is dull. The fact that the front seats are as hard as a rock does not boost the comfort either.
However, this car is enjoyable to drive, even on the worst roads I can think of. Furthermore, its enormous power-plant and suspension system is terrific. At full throttle, the noise of the engine is quite low and so is the cabin.
The quality of the 7 speaker stereo system, which is standard, is almost difficult to beat even now.
