After 15 months of ownership I have sold my LC500h.

It was as though the car knew it’s time was up in the last few days as the problems just kept on getting worse. The fuel filler flap stopped working completely and just wouldn’t open at all. The high beam assist packed up and the navigation decided that it would no longer accept postcodes that need a space in them.

Apart from the looks, it is undoubtedly the worst car that I have ever owned for things not working as they should. Very disappointing and I certainly won’t be buying another Lexus.

My new car is leagues ahead in terms of technology. The Lexus feels 20 years out of date. The interior lighting is more basic than a Ford Fiesta and certainly not what I would expect from an £80,000 car. If the interior and the technology on the Lexus could match the premium manufacturers then I’m sure they would sell a lot more of them. As it is, in my opinion, it is a very under developed vehicle.

Good luck to all the LC500 owners on here and I hope that you don’t experience all the problems that I did.

Ok folks let’s lay off the personal commentary please
