The LS460’s interior is as beautiful as it gets. The materials used are all of the finest quality. The reliability is unquestioned, this car will still be running long after I’ve stopped. Climate control, cruise control, sat nav, electronic seats. leather upholstery... the list goes on... and they all come as standard. The 4.6 litre engine fits the car perfectly and provides just the right amount of power with minimum road and engine noise. The ride is smooth, handling excellent, comfort levels are unsurpassed. A perfectly unobtrusive and pleasurable car, there is simply nothing wrong with it.

The Lexus GS is without doubt the best equipped car, only the entry level model does not have leather seats or satellite navigation. CD, climate control, alloys - they all come as standard too. Sedate is a word that I would use to describe the driving experience in the GS, nothing ruffles it and an air of calmness seems to instill itself in the cabin. As safe as houses, there is an airbag to cope with every eventuality and anti-lock brakes and traction control are fitted as standard. The 2 areas where the GS lets itself down slightly is in space and running costs. The rear is cramped and the boot, although big, is difficult to fill and empty as it requires stretching your body to quite dangerous limits. The fuel economy is not great, a diesel option would have been better but this is not available in this class. I think that 4 stars sums up the GS pretty well, very good but not brilliant.

This is an attractive and well constructed car. It handles very well. The driving position is excellent and there is a definite feel of "quality" that surrounds the IS. There is a sixth gear available but it is ineffectual at under 85 miles per hour so there are few (legal) occasions on which it can be used. The minus points of the IS include the small boot and the lack of legroom for passengers in the back seats. The fuel economy also leaves a lot be desired, I am getting around 30 miles to the gallon when I expected 40 plus.

The IS220D SE is my first Lexus and it definitely won't be my last. This car is simply superb. Motorway cruising is effortless and the six speed gear box delivers super low revs at high speeds. The motor magazines are just wrong in their reviews about this car. Buy one!

Luxury and opiance, leather and lace, dreamy driving within a boxy shape. Yep that is my impression of the top executive type Lexus that we know from all of the critics reports is so often at the top of the dealership tree, winning award after award for service, comfort, quality, quantity, reliability, colours, deals, people, toffee apples, cream cakes, I could go on and on. But one of the things that always seems to be ignored is the awful exterior shape of some of these things, I mean, is it those far eastern designers trying to compensate for something else! I, along with thousands of others cannot fault the brand, but i just wish they would step into the present day and borrow some thoughts from Pininfarina, or Alfa Romeo, (shapes and design, not the actual cars), the Lexus just seem to be so boring and lacking in this department. The car i used was a petrol engine (really big fuel guzzler), monster with an appetite for garage stops. Guest mate around 2o to the gallon, (which is bloody awful in today’s ever increasing Environmental friendly society we live in). Cannot knock the car, will not knock the service, dealerships and all that, but there are other choices dressed in a far more appealing outer skin, than this one.

Classy, understated, professional and clearly exemplary up-market image. Gearing and driving needs to be appreciated in a slghtly different way. More powerful, luxurious, comfortable and reliable than all established european rivals. Had a 54 reg Honda Accord before and this car eclipses it effotlessly. Only those in denial of real quality and impressive road manners would ignore the Lexus IS. It is a gem on the road, a beauty to behold, graceful to the eye and an awesome competitor to all rivals. It’s looks says it all - "Bring it on...Europe..Ha"

Beats the boring BMW hands down and is more than capable of beating of Mercedes, Audi ect without too much of a fight. The only things i would have liked is reversing Sensors as standard on this spec as the boot is high and the rear window small.

Apart from this car being one of the most comfortable I’ve ever driven, I was extremely impressed with the Hybrid V6 engine, which is backed up by an eectric motor. This car is powerful and fuel efficient, normally a contradiction in terms. Wonderful to drive and comes with more gadgetry than you can shake a stick at. A serious competitor to the rest of the market.

Lexus really know how to build luxury cars and the LS Saloon is no exception. It caters for all your needs and is one of the smoothest drives I’ve ever had. So quiet you could almost think you’ve forgotton to switch it on and so comfortable you don’t want to get out when you arrive at your destination. Excellent car that really knows the meaning of luxury.
