LS 600 h

Hello,

Nice to hear you on this forum. Perhaps I will become a new member.

Now I tested a LS 600 h and found this vehicle very good to drive. (owner of MB S, Cadillac, VW Phaeton W12 ...).

Please, can you indicate me your advise on these points :

- Is it a reliable vehicle or often in repair / maintenance garage ?

- Is it better to buy a new or buy a used with warranty ?

- If used, what's the best mile/date/price ?

- Is it possible to have a "sport driving" with it, if need ?

- What's the current problem or bad thing with this car ?

- Lexus garages are they skill to repair or many go/back before find a solution ?

- Have you any data about crash-test ?

Thank you so much !

Best regards,

While there is not much data to definitively state that the LS600h is reliable, I can say with little doubt that it will be very reliable.

There are no set rules for whether or not you should buy a new or used vehicle. Certainly, buying a used Lexus is safer than buying a used BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne, given their poor reliability data.

Most of us seem to have good luck with Lexus dealerships but there are some out there with "less than brilliant" mechanics.

Most Lexus vehicles do well when it comes to crash tests. However recent tests that involve corner impacts didn't turn out too well for some vehicles. See:
