Default Just joining Lexus and this forum

After 5 German cars, all of which have had lots of issues, I switched over to Lexus on Friday. Driving it over the weekend has me amazed how nice this car is and I'm puzzled why it took me so long to get over here.

The car is so quiet, handles well, everything works great, etc. it does not handle as sporty as some others, but it's not a sports car.

I got the car in the hopes I could hang onto it for a long time and for it to be reliable, not fall apart, and not be expensive to hold onto for awhile. I hope that is my experience...seems to be the case with several others on this forum.

Default Thanks everyone

I got a 2010 with low miles (27k) and a 5 year CPO extended warranty.

I like the 2013's but am having a hard time with the looks of the front of the car, as well as how Lexus cascaded this look to the other miles. I'm trying to like it but so far it hasn't stuck!
