  The most reliable & comfortable car in the world! - 1999 Lexus LS 400
  By afriend4life - July 2 - 3:50 am

  Ive owned a dozen cars in the past: 2 Cadillacs, Jaguar, 3 BMWs, Infiniti, Corvette - most Ive owned for 12-15 months and had to invest $1700-$3300 per year on maintenance. Ive owned 99 LS400 for 3+ years & it has been the most reliable car Ive ever owned - my ex, Lexus SC430 was just as good, & they both have the "worlds most reliable engine" award. I do a safety inspection once a year & surprised to hear that all is good, no problems with suspension, engine or transmission. Im only changing oil every 10K miles (using Amsoil), brakes last long & tires are good for 70K miles. Besides better handling that my ex-BMW 540i had - this Lexus has been such a pleasure to own & joy to ride!

  The envy of all other manufacturers... - 1999 Lexus LS 400
  By CloudNine - December 8 - 4:16 am

  This is my second LS-400. Prior car was a 92 model. 98-00 version has many improvements over earlier models. VVTi, 5-speed trans, far more European feel overall. Nakamichi audio is only bested by newer Mark Levinson system. Seats are quite firm but offer excellent support. Onboard trip computer is fun to toy with. Excellent fuel economy for a 3900-lb. vehicle, ranging as high as 33mpg on straight highway runs. Averaging 23 overall (mostly city). Only use genuine Toyota T-IV fluid when servicing the trans! Keep the oil clean and the 1UZ-FE engine should last forever. Styling has aged very gracefully. Still attracts attention even though 10 years old. HID headlamps excel. Pleased overall.

  Excellent, comfortable car - 1999 Lexus LS 400
  By micahberry - November 11 - 5:25 pm

  Excels on the interstate, where it absorbs pavement irregularities superbly. It is a comfortable traveling car for my family. This is not a back road burner – the LS400 features a lot of body roll, which is to be expected as part of the design. You will be hard pressed to find a more comfortable long-range cruising car. I purchased this car with 113k miles. As of this writing, it has 140k. I have had to replace the starter, which I have learned through owner’s forums is a wearable item. In addition, rubber suspension bushings on the car should be replaced to keep the incredible Lexus ride. Thankfully, they don’t need to be replaced but once every 10 years or so!

  The 2nd Lexus .... - 1999 Lexus LS 400
  By steve397 - March 26 - 6:56 am

  This is my second Lexus. First was a 2001 ES 300 and I still think it is an excellent vehicle. But the 400 is truly the embodiment of comfort. At 63, fun driving is being able to drive for 6 hours to the mountains and arrive relaxed and able to enjoy the football game; Or drive to the formal New Years Eve gala in comfort and style. The gas mileage is excellent, 29.5 on the highway trips (I use the ES300 around town). The back seat is so relaxing, our guests usually fall asleep on the trip. The CD/stereo is very fine. Terrific car.

  An Experience - 1999 Lexus LS 400
  By Harold - October 29 - 9:03 am

  Simply the absolute best car I have ever owned out of 15 vehicles. What more can one say except hearty congratulations to all the engineers, technicians and stylists who did the outstanding work on ths car. As someone has already so aptly said in describing this vehicle, "Cocooned tranquility".

  LS 400 - 1999 Lexus LS 400
  By rben - May 7 - 10:00 am

  I purchased my preowned 99Lexus approximately 6 mos. ago. A perfect blend of luxury, comfort and performance for a large sedan. It makes no pretenses for its 290HP, thus fuel consumption is a bit higher than some cars, but I knew that going into the purchase. A very quiet and "trip- worthy" machine, so loaded with features that I discover new ones each week. Ill keep this car a very long time!

  Its True, the BEST Sedan Made - 1999 Lexus LS 400
  By MrPino - November 27 - 10:33 am

  Ive owned over 50 cars in my old age and the 99 LS400 is one of the best. I also have a LS430 but find myself driving the LS400 the most. These cars are powerful, quiet, extremely relaxing to drive and get very good gas mileage. With proper maintenance, the LS400 will go 400,000 miles without a problem. Ive owned 21 different Lexus cars and still consider the 1998-2000 year models to be the best.

  It has the ride of luxury sedan yet it can be a performance vehicle when you punch it. Great gas mileage. Lousy cup holders!
