Lexus LS

What it says about you

Opinion

The car that made the Germans nervous in 1990 and has been quietly excellent ever since. You value silence more than you value being seen.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

22 model years on record, 35 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has none. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.
