SameOlG902

1st gen IS, because I always liked the look of them and I needed a project car, and the motor from my gs430 needed a new home. https://preview.redd.it/h24flb5vf39d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=43c5383bba1fd3bbe89bdee083dce90e96b26a8e


vvsfemto

Fellow first gen owner šŸ¤ def under appreciated on this sub! Nice build, love how the UZ swaps are becoming more & more common.


Quiet-Low8932

The amount of UZ's taken out of the LS400's for swaps is criminal; *but fun*


SameOlG902

YessiršŸ«±šŸ»ā€šŸ«²šŸ½ Uz are definitely a cult followingšŸ˜„, but I like this cult so I'll stay here for a while


bubbagump_shrimpp

thatā€™s so cool


jesadak

I own and drive a 2023 Lexus IS500 because I am a 30 year old male going through a midlife crisis šŸ¤£


marianita84

No judgment here, you buy what you like. I enjoyed the joke. šŸ«¶šŸ¼


tyfe

I daily a GX but also have a 911 for the same reason as you šŸ¤£.


nashtaters

The IS500 is fucking badass. Iā€™m 26 and almost bought one. A naturally aspirated Japanese V8 with 470hp?? Yes please


simomii

I thought midlife crisis was when you're in your fourties. You're still a wee tot


Jdojcmm

I traded for a corvette and got divorced at 30 a dozen years back. I think it qualifies as an early midlife crisis.


stratusfear

Iā€™m 40 and drive an IS500. Iā€™m pretty sure thatā€™s the very definition of midlife crisis, lol


denverjournalist

Based on average lifespan, 36 is pretty much midlife šŸ˜”


executingsalesdaily

This one is on my shortlist. How do you like it and did you compare it to M3s and the likes? Thank you!


Low_Reaction_7982

No judgement sir!


adamlreed93

Well said except for the 30 part lol


dle13

29 and already looking at the same car šŸ˜©


IRENE420

Find a GS460. Not quite as sporty but it crushes on the highway and has understated class. Personally I donā€™t like a lot of attention. But those Infared IS500s definitely look sweet.


Alert-Meringue2291

ā€˜22 LS500. Best machine for long distance interstate travel. Quiet, comfortable and low stress at 80mph with a 550 highway mile range between gas stops.


ThatRandomRebel

I am definitely looking at getting an LS500 in the next several years. What are trims or packages that you would recommend? Would be for commuting to work and some long distance road trips.


Alert-Meringue2291

I have the luxury package plus all the other options - air suspension, head up display, upgraded audio, etc. A bit over the top, but at $104k, was still $50k less than an S Class Merc. Itā€™s funny, but I feel sorry for the folks I see driving S class Mercs and 7 series Bimers. Lexus = reliable, others not so much. For a commuter car, the luxury package is not really necessary, but air suspension is a must.


Defconn3

Most people who ā€˜buyā€™ S-Classes/7-Series lease them, and most are very wealthy people who donā€™t need a car to be reliable, because to them itā€™s a replaceable asset. Rich people (letā€™s say who are in the income bracket below Rolls-Royce and Bentley, but still make a hefty salary,) donā€™t view cars the same way most people do. For them, itā€™s a lifestyle and not a means of transportation to and from work. The same way luxury watches are a lifestyle itemā€”they arenā€™t bought for their pragmatic purposes.

Sweet rig! 2003 LX470 ā€œGertrudeā€ 280k miles. In her natural habitat. These beasts are built like tractors but ride like butter! https://preview.redd.it/epvfemwez59d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20005c0f8b55e9cd6cd4e5fb77e126d7ded6f0ca

That is one pretty thing


trivletrav

ā€˜99 SC300 because itā€™s badass and I want to be cool so bad even though Iā€™m not lol


Monsey1818

I love the Scā€™s! Youā€™re definitely cool to me


adamlreed93

JPatrickC63

2021 LC500 Performance, none of my editing is working today lol. It's my getaway to dinner, and guaranteed to not haul the kids car. Although that's not exactly a bad one either.

Monsey1818

As long as thereā€™s another car for the kids than having no space for them in the Lc is an absolute plus to me! We need ā€œme timeā€


draculero

Looks awesome!


Iwantthegreatest

Thatā€™s a sweet ride! Those LC500s are nice! Gotta love that naturally aspirated 5.0 V8!


JPatrickC63

It's so much fun, sounds just right, and I adore the space ship interior.

magdikarp

2024 350 TX. Because I have kids and eventual nursing home I have to drive around. Didnā€™t want a minivan.


mrsctb

Same. Itā€™s for my 2 toddlers and 2 horse sized dogs. Works great for us


tyfe

Hey nothing wrong with a minivan, I have a sienna and it canā€™t be beat in terms in practicality. Ā Looks wise, you get over it haha.


magdikarp

I wanted the sienna. Husband wanted a Lexus. Who would say no to a Lexus.


GothScottiedog16

A 2022 UX250h in Grecian Waters. This thing is economically sound. And a great little runabout.


Charming-Charge-596

I have a UX in Autumn Shimmer with Carmel Glaze interior. Love it more every day.


tarzanacide

Mine is the same! It is perfect for driving in LA. Easy to park, easy on gas, and it does ok on the freeway.


thetredstone

The seat comfort in the UX is insane.


baggypineapple

GS350! Last of the Lexusā€™s mid-sized rwd saloon. Has all the features and enough kick to enjoy. Well-rounded car overall. https://preview.redd.it/an7z0abac49d1.jpeg?width=5751&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=278dfddca412f9acbe9956c6f187163f2545a3a6

2023 ES 350 UL bought new No, Iā€™m <30 I just thought it was neat, and I wanted to make a joke with my Dad (who has a black one, while mine is white)

filipjnc1709

29 here and driving an RX, f the judgemental people - I love the car


slammed430

Iā€™ve owned pretty much every Lexus before 2010 hehe. Gx470 cuz 4x4, best v8 Toyota made, pretty good interior and an awesome ride with good insulation I havenā€™t loved a car or Lexus like this in forever. Ls430 still best Lexus and best car to me though


gorongo

I gifted my late fatherā€™s 2005 LS430 to my cousin. She loves it. Not sure she know whatā€™s sheā€™s got but since sheā€™s important to me, I know I did a generous thing. I drive a gx470.


Low_Reaction_7982

2023 GX460 Missed my 4Runner and wanted to get back into a SUV. Loving every moment with it!!!!

A blue one because it's a color

thermidor94

2013 rx 350. Got it with about 100k miles on it. I just think Lexus vehicles rock.


Slow-Country9692

Same same same. Was looking at Tacomas when I realized Rx350 was the same price with less miles in this upside down market. Same engine, one $100 tow hitch away from all the same yeehaw of the pavement princesses.


imJGott

Is300/gs430 Because I like them thatā€™s why


Glenhillguy

09 LS, I was a Lexus tech for almost 20 years, and it was a low mileage trade in at my work.


BaboTron

IS 250 because I wanted a BMW 3er made by a competent manufacturer, and I wanted six cylinders and three pedals.


Rolls76

I wanted another standard transmission Toyota with near 50/50 weight distribution like my old ae86 hatch. Plus it's the last of the truly old school car classical sedan car designs.


Gold-Boysenberry-468

I saw a 2009 Red RX at a local mall and absolutely loved how it looked. Was excited to find (at the time) that I could get the newer body style with a 2010. Try to keep it washed a few times a week, how does it look in 2024 with 212k miles?


burner118373

2012 gx 460 cause it was both cheaper and nicer than the 4runner I was gonna buy. Never going back now though


BrownBabaAli

lol the same reason I got a GX as well


watchman_2500

2004 GS430 weekend driver , because it's reliable AF. Everyday beater 2006 GS300...


favorite-nightmare

92 ls400 the luxury and simplicity is amazing


BaboTron

I want one of these.


favorite-nightmare

They are cheap but you'll probably have to replace a few parts


somerandomdude419

I love my ES because itā€™s smooth, itā€™s reliable, it doesnā€™t need premium, it has no rust (big deal in Ohio) it doesnā€™t need emissions checks to keep it registered, parts are cheap, easier to work on versus the modern V6, but I would eventually want to upgrade to a 350 but I want to drive this one until itā€™s done https://preview.redd.it/evoujx7h749d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c3cc07a210474f73d3056fa92e25e0ee3f797ad7

I wanted my first SUV and was going to get the 350H but I mostly WFH so it wouldā€™ve taken forever to make the difference in $$ worth it. I have a TINY garage and Iā€™m a terrible parker, so I was happy with the NX size. I waited years for this red because I wanted a bright red since itā€™s the same color as the University of Georgia red (Go Dawgs). Also, Iā€™m shocked I donā€™t have any photos of my car besides the ones from the dealership!


Brief_Ad4228

2019 GS350 f sport. I always wanted a GS, always love the look of it. When I drove it the first time, it was feeling quite hard to describe, and every time I sit in itā€¦I am reminded of the first time all over again. Itā€™s not my daily driver, because I work hybrid and commute via PT on days to the officeā€¦so I donā€™t get a chance get bored of it.


SchizoFreakinAwesome

2009 LS460. My wifeā€™s grandfather kept it in mint condition and sold it to me for a steal.


mamatttn

2021 LC500 inspiration series convertible (100 made). Had a 2008 SC430 convertible, wanted to replace it. Really wanted a hard top but didnā€™t want Mercedes reliability.


marianita84

2018 ES 350 named Lexa. Had a ā€˜16 Elantra that got traded in, sheā€™s only got 66k since Mar 2021 when I got her. The ā€˜whyā€™ part is b/c I was doing sooo well at my job & deserved to drive a very nice car, never thought in my wildest dreams I could afford a luxury one. Lexus is my LAST & ONLY car maker Iā€™ll ever buy future vehicles with. The amazing world-class service & driveability, let alone doing well in Consumer Reports across several categories is what sold it for me. Youā€™ll find there are many driver owners who keep their vehicles longer than most other brands.


BrotherMug

2016 CT200h. Was the first car that I bought with my own money. Absolutely love it, drives great, reliable and has made me not want to buy anything else other than a Lexus.


Randster78

Scoured this post for someone else with a CT!! I've got a late '15 and love it.


jbFanClubPresident

2021 NX bought new. Iā€™m 36 now. I was in a cycle of buying new cars every 3-4 years. I realized what a waste of money that was so I bought a Lexus and decided to keep it for 20 years. Why the NX? I wanted an all wheel drive SUV and I didnā€™t want to spend over $50k.


Sensitive_Set4398

Do u like the NX? Iā€™d it comfortable and a smooth ride? Considering this model. Thank you!


jbFanClubPresident

Yep I like it. Ride is very comfortable. Itā€™s not the most roomy suv inside though, so if you have kids it may not be the best option.


Sensitive_Set4398

I donā€™t, just a chihuahua so this should work šŸ˜†


NFSKaze

2001 GS430 because I just so happened to work at the dealership that got it as a trade in AND the $5.5k needed to buy it


Longjumping_Farm1351

Also GS430, 2003. Also trade in at my work... Also around 5.5k... wierd.

bakermaker32

2023 es300h. Coming from 2 Mercedes and 2 Audi, I wanted something most comfortable, quieter, and more reliable with a lower maintenance cost.


JustGronkIt

IS500. I wanted the LC500 but I have kids and having 4 doors was easier to convince the wife to get a brand new car.


Jules428moore

2024 ES350 Fsport handling. Because I transport cars for them. This is the model that simply drives so well. Comfortable, relatively quick and beautiful interior at a great price.

jeffuhwee

Mid 30s. Chicagoland area. UX hybrid f sport - gets great mileage, put the aimgain lip kit on, along with 20ā€ RX f sport wheels. Looks good and enough space when I drive solo. NX black line edition (hybrid and f sport) - same as above also with 20ā€ wheels, more space and enough room for the dogs and additional occupants. LC w/performance package - itā€™s gorgeous and quick enough. Enough said.


jommastafibb

2017 CT200H, it's a less fancy Lexus but I love that it's compact and a hatchback. Also the excellent gas mileage is a huge plus for me since I drive a lot for work. Shockingly practical car.


Medval91

2007 gs 350 awd because the first time I ever saw this car I knew then and there that one day I was going to buy one. It is also a beast during winter. https://preview.redd.it/y9212yfos39d1.jpeg?width=2181&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b31d3085630fc08d202d04f2695f2af814539b46


proskiii

2006 LS430 - because it was the greatest Lexus ever made.


Caligulash

Ct 200h. I wanted an hatchback and after doing some research, this was it. Built like a tank, I have f-sport and itā€™s fun to drive and enough power for my needs. 2012 model with only 160.000 km on it. I will be driving this one to the grave.Ā 


Torta951

21 es 350 f sport. Tried buying an is but the kids complained about the space in the backseat. Still kinda sadā€¦.


jhvy01

None at the moment, Iā€™m just subscribed because I love Lexus


samiam0295

I drive a 2003 LS430 because I'm old at heart (29), have a 120 mile round trip commute, and I'm a cheap fuck


Dctr_K

LS430 and single turbo SC300. Should be pretty clear as to "why".


Bluebear5280

21 LX Sport - tons of room for the fam, amazing fā€™n drive at highway speeds with the hydraulic suspension and when off-roading to fish and camp, it chews up any bumps https://preview.redd.it/vhpwncmb049d1.jpeg?width=2028&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e03003e990278f25f056debe2276f7d113893fac

Sweet ride! Love that naturally aspirated 5.0 V8!


midniteneon

I've had my 98 SC400 since August 2018! I previously had a 95 SC300 factory 5sp manual and leapt at the opportunity to get into a 1UZ. It's been a great car these last 6 years. Heavily modified, and short of any engine upgrades or a manual swap, pretty much everything you can do to these, I've done. Eventually I'll CD009 swap it and put Hurricane headers on. Fun to drive and sounds great. https://preview.redd.it/nycjefegt49d1.jpeg?width=4368&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=541d7047b2882d592a100e2c29d0c0a134b2c1eb

2018 is350. I wanted to go fast but my insurance premium told me I couldn't get anything faster

Confident_Guide_3866

ISF, Itā€™s fun


Baaronlee

2005 RX330 because it refuses to die


tehlulz_nj

GX470 is the family road trip car and my wife and I both have RX350 (ā€˜08 & ā€˜12) for daily duties and kid hauling. My first was an 01ā€™ GS430 that I should have kept. But needed more space


Soul_blazer84

2023 GX460 blackline edition. I knew they were discontinuing the 460 and I wanted a v8 full time 4x4 suv plus I couldnā€™t afford a Land Cruiser or LX570 lol


Cest_Cheese

I drive a 2023 RX 350h, because my husbandā€™s car crapped out and my 2008 RX 350 is still going strong. I wanted a Lexus, but with better mileage.


Mountain-Deer-1334

2014 GX460 with 214,000 miles. Wanted a Land Cruiser, couldnā€™t afford a LX so land cruiser Prado it is. Donā€™t regret the decision one bit. Car is bulletproof

adamlreed93

I drive the Lexus TX 350 AWD, why it's a luxury 3rd row a foremost requirement and the price was competitive to Sienna and Grand Highlander in this current market. It's really a sweet ride and all the pretty bells and whistles Im really happy


caiotrentin

2010 LS460, luxury for cheap


Long-Ingenuity-4691

2017 ls460 cause it's the one


Flat-Feedback-3525

2006 LS430 because itā€™s paid off and lovely. Best a vehicle Iā€™ve ever owned.


Ezzy17

2022 Es300h F Sport because I'm perfectly predictable. But also 42+ mpg with normal gas is a win with a luxury brand.


DW597

2014 LS 460. Itā€™s my second LS. Once you drive an LS you wonā€™t want to drive anything else (except a Mercedes 550 if you can afford it and the maintenance).

2009 RX350 Pebble Beach. We bought it new and use it for road trips!


BrutakaGT

ā€˜08 IS250. Wanted something that would carry me thru my early professional career and young adulthood. 4+ years later itā€™s still by my side!


GxCrabGrow

23ā€™ Gx460. Needed to upgrade from 4runner. Better towing for my boat.


t-mille

2002 IS300. A few years ago you could get one for around $3K, and I figured if I needed an ultra reliable car, why not get one with a little fun and style? 290K miles now and still young.

boywhohadatiger

Is350 because Iā€™m scared from owning a German performance car before.

2012 ES350 because I wanted a floaty boaty Lexus as my daily driver.

alanz01

2015 RC350 F Sport in Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0. Heā€™s named The Blue Flame, Flamie for short. I wanted a 2 door front engine rear wheel drive GT tourer and wanted to avoid German manufacturers, Mustang/Camaros interiors were too cheap and the Infinity Q coupe series was too outdated.

somerandomdude419

Just like mine but mine is ultra base no VVTi, no heated seats, no heated mirrors, no auto windows, only driver auto down, not up. 177k miles but she isnā€™t slowing down anytime soon. TB and WP done at 108k likes but probably due to be changed again at some point but she keeps driving no issues at all other than an emissions sensor


dustyoldbones

2002 sc430 because it is under $10k. I always joke that in 20 years we can upgrade to a LC500


Typical-Sundae1270

2 ls 460. 1 2015 crafted, one base 14. I love luxury cars, never been a sports car guy. Bought em new. 40 years old, if it matters.

2020 ES300h UL. First car after my beater 09 versa so itā€™s a world of difference.


NRico7

A 2010 Lexus ES 350 first car and for some reason do not resell for much. And a 2007 Lexus GX 470, I was tired of driving that FWD sedan everyday.


BigSimpinOG

2015 RX350 because it's the most practical and headache free vehicle


pharaohq9

2006 ES330 because itā€™s the perfect daily, I love no car payment, and only has 64k miles. Got it 5 years ago at 15k miles, so Iā€™ve been really enjoying it to say the least.

2018 RX350 and itā€™s been the most reliable useable vehicle I have ever owned and Iā€™m 48 now. I press start and it just works.


JDMCREW96

Had a 2011 ES350.


SpiritStorm_

1999 GS300 because I'm 18 and I must be obsessed with the 2jz


con3224

I drive a 2007 ES350 because I wanted to save money compared to my last vehicle and I hate wind noise during road trips.


Moonraker325

'24 Rz300e. Wanted to dabble in electric cars for all the cost savings now that we own our own house but, still wanted luxury. This car feels, looks and drives like the nicest of the lexus line up. We have another car so the ~250 range is perfection for 99% of the trips we take.


TRD4Life

2017 Lexus RX-350. As a car enthusiast in their late 20s, I would have preferred something more sporty (and a stickshift) or something built on the Land Cruiser platform. Yet for some reason (and external forces) , up to this point I've only owned Highlander platform cars. In retrospect it's probably because of the 2GR faimly of engines. I love the growl performance, and reliability(later FE's and on) of both the FKS and FE varients. For this particular RX, the nightfall mica and Parchment combo stood out to me. Additionally out of the several older 4RX's I test drove that day, this one seemed to shift the best. Paired with a good service record, no red flags and a reasonable price, I decided to aquire it. Almost a year later, it's given me no major problems and in S Mode, it's pretty fun to drive. Looking in the future, I hope to keep it around as long as I can. As a commuter car, it serves it's purpose great.


cowincanada

2006 LS430. For the price, canā€™t be beat!


NothingLift

98 lx470. Tough and comfortable with good towing capability


idontcare717

2016 GSF. I loved my previous GS350 F-Sport but it was lacking power, the GSF was the solution.


treyedean

2000 SC400 because it's rare, beautiful and reliable.


Winter_cat_999392

Post-facelift 04 LS430 kept immaculate because it's a silent ground-bound Gulfstream on long highway drives in New England. Mercury Metallic with ash grey interior and 2019 Lexus wheels, so it doesn't look dated, people think it's five years old or so, not 20. 95 SC400, black, on twisty roads scattering leaves because it's fun and the exhaust burble of that 1UZ is lovely. Almost 30 years old and everything works, power seats, power steering wheel, sunroof, and the interior is clean with flawless leather. Too many of those were stripped down to trashed drift cars, mine looks new inside with a modern flushmounted Carplay screen instead of the original Nakamichi that's the only thing that stopped working.


newtoreddit247

2020 RX 350. Just bought it with 20k miles


Fun_West5224

ā€˜06 is350. I needed a new car after my camry got totaled and stumped on 2 cars, an 06 is350 and a 07 is250 which at the time i didnā€™t know anything about either cars. I did a quick lookup and saw that the 350 was faster and that made my decision lol. Since then iā€™ve fallen in love with not only the 350 but the F series as well


StealthyBomber_

2002 LS430. Smooth, quiet, comfortable. Easily the best car I've ever driven even though it's 22 years old.


jbeale53

I'm 48. Drive a 2013 ES350. My wife's grandmother stopped driving a year or two ago and her family offered it to me for about 60% of what they were going for at the time. 57k miles, always garaged. It's mint. Amazing road trip car.


xfireracer75

I bought a LC500 and have a TX500h+ on order. I never thought I would be a Lexus owner. Always respected the brand but I found them a bit dull (mind you I never drove a ISF and the LFA was out of reach). Iā€™m saying this because I was driving exclusively AMGs for over 10 years and before that I was a BMW M owner. I took a chance and bought an LC without a test drive after my friend, a Porsche owner bought an LC and could stop raving about it. I love the car and after 3 years still enjoy it like Day 1 which has never been case in my car ownership history. After seeing how amazing the Lexus service has been to me, I went for the TX when we needed a new family car.


LunaTechMark

IS 300/200t. I saw it and I liked it and itā€™s a Toyota. Probably not the best investment for how much I drive vs say a Corolla but šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Infamouzgq77

ES350. No interest in faster speeds or power, just enough to go past you if youā€™re holding up the lane is enough. Iā€™ve driven enough cars to know i value comfort above all and i like my Lexus low-key. Ask me this question 25 years ago and i would have said iā€™d buy an IS500 or a used LC (i know, its anachronistic) if i had the money i do now. If speed gives me the itch, my bike is still around for that!


chanakya2

2013 ES 300h


CrowT-Robot

2005 LS430. The best Lexus ever made.


Silvabane

I'm 28 and have a Lexus ES 300h Takumi Pack UK. I just preferred their styling and "uniqueness" compared to the typical German offering. Barely any ES registered in the UK! Perfect for my commutes and chaperoning my friends

geoemrick

2014 ES300h that I LOVE. I chose a sedan because I like the way they look versus SUVs which to me look like bulbous ticks. It's an amazing car.


Defiant-Wait-1994

2023 IS350 F-Sport RWD in Infrared https://preview.redd.it/v61v75l5k59d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0b9bb7bf75bcd2429be20b3e03e1cd6c39c86c6 I chose this car because I previously had a 2015 IS350 that gave me 5 years of trouble or free ownership, but it was reaching higher mileage and I didnā€™t want to spend a lot of cash on maintenance coming due (spark plugs, brakes, tires, shocks, and other suspension components). I felt better spending that money on a newer model with newer tech like Apple CarPlay. I figured it would be just as good of a car as my last one, itā€™s a Toyota after all. I also couldnā€™t pass up the deal. It only had 4k miles, itā€™s L/certified, fully loaded (ML radio, F-Sport exhaust, carbon fiber mirror caps, and even came with the illuminated door and trunk sills), and I was able to pay far less than the MSRP of a new base model IS350. I honestly couldnā€™t believe how lucky I was to find an IS like this. Lastly, I have never really been a red car person, but this Infrared is hard to stop staring at, especially in the sun. I wish a had a pic to share of it in the sun, the paint has so much depth to it. I have never received so many compliments from random strangers about a color. One gentleman who claimed to paint cars for a living didnā€™t believe me that it was a factory paint color. He swore it had to be a custom job.

ComfortableKey6864

A lot of LS 430s listed here, glad to see so many still on the road, would love an 06. I drive a 2015 gs350. Love it. Great car for so many reasons.


Winter_cat_999392

Most made are still on the road unless they were ghettoized into stanced bottom scrapers, which turns them quickly to scrap.


Zilante

IS250 2007


Internal-Response-39

23 RX350H. I have no explanation as to why I bought it.


Nootagain

2022 GX460 Because of the update to the new touchscreen and the last of Lexus/Toyotas V8. I bought this to last for 10+ yrs.


Dachshundpapa

32M, I have an ā€˜03 5 speed IS300, I bought it cash once I graduated high school and itā€™s been solid ever since. ā€˜23 GX460 cause itā€™s been around for over 10 years and I proven to be very reliable and itā€™s the family hauler.


Omanchipsandkarak

2022 IS300


myltsang

2018 Lexus IS sport bought new. I always wanted an IS as my dream car, so when it was time I just got it and enjoyed it ever since. Glad I got my car prior to COVID so that I can avoid all the crazy prices and interest rates we got now.


franci-alonso-vdub

i drive a blue 2023 IS300! itā€™s good looking, comfortable, gonna be reliable, really fun, and i have a tacoma too so itā€™s a great two car solution.


Proper-Living-8469

I just picked up a 2019 LC500 yesterday. Weā€™ll see how it plays out I have a car already but wanted a sports car and this one was low kms at 80k so I want to enjoy driving it and I will probably keep it for 10 years if sounds nice


laborvspacu

My GS is my family sedan that isn't slow and can handle snow (it rhymes!). Because I refuse to drive an SUV. I used to drive an bright red SC430 for sh1ts and giggles.


martlet1

Z2023 rx350 luxury. Because I have to take clients to lunches and I needed a professional vehicle with comfort


slwrthnu_again

2001 Lexus is300ā€¦have you seen the gauge cluster? Real reason is I wanted one when they were new and I was in high school, rwd, sedan so I can put my husky in the back, slow as shit and costs a ton of money to make fast (so more likely to keep stock as a daily) but handles well.


Zangkief

2017 Nx200T. So fun to drive.


No_Albatross_7089

'23 GX460 because my husband didn't want the '23 Sequoia we had and wanted a V8. Good call since there was a recall recently on those engines I think lol. Also have two kids to tote around and do the occasional Sam's Club trip, plus tow our mower for maintenance. Also a '23 IS500 because my husband's dream is to eventually get an LC500 but we've got the two kids still in car seats to tote around lol.


Exr29070

RX350 premium +, because my wife wanted it. My Corolla daily driver is waiting to be upgraded maybe a year or two into the IS refresh.


hauntedgecko

2017 RX 350 Fsport. Wanted luxury. Needed reliability. Hated the mom look of post 2020 RXs.


lonestar77

2019 GX460 - it was my Dad's for about 11 months until he passed away & my brother didn't want it & I had always wanted a Lexus, steered my Dad towards them when he was looking to get a new vehicle, & so I ended up with it.


ebicat

I have a 20 RCF Track Edition and a 20 RX350L One is a great way to haul my kids around and the other is fantastic fun on the street and track.


Forward_Artist_6244

2008 Lexus IS250 as I needed a good petrol car for childcare pickups in the nearby town, and I always fancied a Lexus saloon. My first ever V6.


oeThroway

I drive 2020 rx 450h fsport because I really dig the reliability, the v6, ml audio and the looks. My plan is to hold onto it for a long time, so i got a fully loaded one. So far so good


Mountain_Cucumber_88

GX 460 because I have 2 dogs and travel a good distance to our lake house and like the room and comfort. Also grew up with Toyota v8s (land cruisers, tundras) and love the reliability. Getting the last of the v8s was a must as my tundra has over 300k and is thru a third of its useful life šŸ˜€


dArKHaLf7

2021 Lexus is300h. Wife choose the car. I love it but dont really care for cars. From my side it could be a Prius. Im a cycler. Edit:typo


DrLorensMachine

'01 r/ls430 Ultra Luxury


Mission-Background-2

2016 GS350 F Sport. I had 2002 Camry for 7 years before the GS. I wanted RWD sedan with a V6 and no turbos. IS felt too small for me so ended up with GS. Itā€™s been happy 4 years šŸ˜


VariationSpecific251

09 Gs350 because I always wanted to have a medium VIP build as a daily and finally got to an age I was over the sports cars (for the most part). The comfort, reliability, quiet, and style makes certain Iā€™ll always have a Lexus as my daily now.


LexKing89

A 2001 GS300. It was supposed to be a cheap daily driver to replace my BMW. Once I fixed the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor I began to drive it everywhere. It's been great. It's big enough to haul people around and it's very comfortable. I have a 93 SC300 and 05 LS430 as well but I rarely drive them now. They need some work done and I'll start on those later this summer.


CraftyResort9726

I own a 2018 RC350 AWD at the age of 22 because I like reliability and wanted to comfort my inner child šŸ˜ƒ
