The car is a beast. - 2000 Lexus LS 400
By Northern VA yuppie - June 28 - 12:46 amThis car is exactly what it was designed to be: a Cadillac killer. Its a rear-wheel drive highway luxo-cruiser, not a BMW M3. Those who complain about this car being unexciting obviously didnt do their homework and should stick to German sports coupes or Miatas. That said, this cars V8 has enough power to rocket from zero-60 in about 6.5 seconds, and the acceleration from 40-80 mph is even more heinous. I cant help but grin like a jackal when I pass people in this beast. And the other 99% of the time you cannot hear the engine! I cannot say enough about this car. The fit and finish is amazing. Even the smallest details are overengineered for wide margins of error and flawlessly done.

Nicest 8-yr old car you can buy - 1997 Lexus LS 400
By NC girl - June 14 - 10:00 amBought this car for the wife to drive for errands/soccer carpools (Her other car is a Jaguar XJS convertible). LS rides quietly & smoothly, absorbing every bump and curve. The quality stands out in this car, surpassing other models of vehicles several years newer. Paint is perfect, leather comfy, stereo crisp. It is apparent this car will go another 10 years if maintained. Consider this car over a 2-3 yr old Camry/Accord for the $ any day.

This car is a no brainer - 1996 Lexus LS 400
By gallen - June 11 - 2:00 amIve had one and only one problem in the entire time Ive owned this car, which I purchased used with 22,000 miles on it. As of Feb 03 its got 79,000. Lexus has a well deserved reputation and the car is bulletproof. The car has always started, still has the original battery and I changed the brake pads once, north of 50,000 miles. Im a fairly aggressive driver too, so getting that kind of brake pad performance on a 2 ton car is telling. Overall - Id buy a used Lexus over a new "anything else" every time. Reliable, bulletproof and great ride all in one.

first but not last Lexus! - 1997 Lexus LS 400
By ReverendJohn - April 24 - 10:00 amI love the peace, quiet and serenity I feel every time I get in this car. The safety features are great. I feel like I could drive around the world in it and arrive feeling refreshed. Its six years old now, and as good as the day I got it. No problems at all.

A Dream Automobile - 1998 Lexus LS 400
By Dr. J - April 11 - 12:00 amThe LS 400 is unbelievably comfortable and quiet. Trips of 3 or more hours are a piece of cake. It handles well for a luxury sedan and gets surprisingly good gas mileage for a V8. As others have said, the workmanship is unparalleled. This is far and away the finest automobile I have owned. My wife has an Infiniti that I thought was top shelf until I bought the Lexus LS 400 - there is no comparison.

I miss my Lexus! - 1998 Lexus LS 400
By drblptq - February 19 - 7:09 amI once told my close friends if I ever sell this car to please take me out and shoot me! I did sell it, and to my dismay, few cars could come close to the refinement, ride quality and overall durability of this fine automobile. I bought it used with 32,000 miles on the clock, it was a one owner car. I kept it for 4 years as a second car ( I also have a company car), and traded it when I thought I needed a larger (silly me). It would avage 29 mpg, in mixed drive from a 290hp 4 litre V8, simply amazing! The sound deadening is superb. If you ever have the opportunity to own one, do it, but hold on to it, they last forever.

My second Lexus - 1998 Lexus LS 400
By Barney - January 13 - 6:36 amI bought my first an ES 300 in 2000 for my wife to be, she loved it but I loved it more. I sold it to my brother in law after we were married and got my wife a Mercedes and almost a divorce. Needless to say I bought her a 1998 LS 400 from original owner that was impeccable and I found my true love. This is the best motor car for price, comfort, reliability in its class. This is as good as it gets! Classic styling, smooth riding and dependability. I love this car almost as much as my wife!!

Simply superb - 1998 Lexus LS 400
By dzajic - January 3 - 1:46 pmI think all the other reviewers have made it clear: this is a phenomenal machine that will change your idea of what a car can be. The engine and transmission are incredible. The brakes are breathtaking. The comfort and quietness are sublime. The audio system is magnificent. The quality is unparalleled. It would take several pages or a whole book to accurately describe the superiority of this work of art, but reading all the reviews here is a good start. My favorite story about this car is that just after I bought it, I AVERAGED 33 mpg over a 253 mile stretch of Interstate. This is simply unbelievable for a car with a 290hp V8 engine. I LOVE this car!!!
