My first Lexus was my 2007 is350 and still to this day no problems.

My 2008 IS250 is working out well, although I don't have another Lexus to compare it to. Thus far, it has been the most trouble-free car I've owned. I have never kept anything beyond the end of a lease, but I ended up buying out this one and intend to keep it for the longhaul. It makes financial sense and I feel it has aged extremely well to the point where not much else new looks or drives much better.

Thanks for your honesty, MattyG. Most people wouldn't read that far into a post and that makes me grateful. I was sitting and pondering your reply and at first I was going to reply with some sort of sarcastic and ignorant retort, BUT I would like to thank you for laying it out for me. Also, what you said makes sense, I was thinking that I will be going with a used Lexus or Mazda. I make enough money to be able to fix the aforementioned choices. I really want to use it as primary vehicle and use my 2000 ES300 as a back up (Customizing and Modding). Again Thank you for your input.

I have had a 07 GS350, 07 LS460, and 2010 IS-F and by far the best has been the least Lexus like...the IS-F.

Lexus IS 200 and 300 for sure. The only Lexuses I had that was a true pleasure to drive in every way. Perfect balance in every aspect with a weight about 1400 kg,( about 3000 Ib ). A weight that the "sporty" Lexus cars of today only can dream about . 200 was pretty slow but that manual gearbox ( actually the same as in GT 86 today ) and the sound of the I6 made me forget about it. No issues at all and not a single rattle or squeak from the interior. And believe me, I did not drive those cars gentle .

I've never had the privilege of owning a Lexus prior to this one, but it's the best car I've ever owned, by huge margin.

Having owned an Acura RL, BMW 330 and 530, this is hands-down my favorite. Talk about being insulated from potholes, road ruts and everything else, this does it in spades, without feeling like a 70s Buick. It feels solid like a rock, vault-like, amazing-like (lol) without the harshness that the BMWs I've owned.

I've driven in an S550 and those same terms also come to mind (solid and vault-like), but it just didn't insulate nearly as well in my opinion.

Anyways, I couldn't be happier. First V-8 I've owned too and glad I got to experience it before everything turns into turbos, hybrids or pure electrics.

this is why i'll always say that the ONLY way to lexus is with an LS. i swear having one has aged me like 50 years, now i think the LS is the only car they should make lol... i guess you always need a 2 door coupe to complement the 4 door sedan but when people walk into a lexus dealership they should be able to say "i'll have the lexus" rather than "i'll have a lexus" because in my mind a lexus should only be the pinnacle of luxury, it shouldn't be something affordable that enables more people to own one. i was cut off by some CT200H or whatever its called and i'm just thinking "ok you haven't earned the right to drive like that much of an oblivious *****, if you had a new LS then yea maybe you can do that, but no way in your fancy prius do you get to act like you're that important."

but that's just my own craziness

Having had other Lexus products too, the LS is special I agree but the other products are very good also. I'm past the Toyota FWD engineered models, so no ES, RX, NX, CT for me, but I loved my GS, the IS is a really fun little car as is the RC.

Tough one for me, but looking back, the one that had the most impact to me was my first Lexus, the '05 RX 330.

Not only was the build quality and fit/finish beyond anything for its time in that price range, but I loved the rarity of the adjustable air suspension and how the car automatically dropped when shut off, to ease egress. Very slick.

SW17LS

Yeah RX's with that air suspension I don't believe were ever sold in the US.

My 2002 ES still has the best interior material quality of any Lexus and car in general that I've experienced. I imagine the ls430 is the same way. Wasn't that impressed with the 460 or even s class really. F430's have nice leather though.

SW17LS

I had a 2003 ES, its still in the family actually. The interior on those is nice, and the materials are nicer than the newer ES sedans but not the better Lexus cars, LS, GS, LX, etc.

I never knew there was an RX with air suspension. That's pretty cool.
