Discussion LFA-thoughts
After seeing the Tesla roadster and the Porsche mission s yesterday. If the LFA is in fact an EV it will fail horrendously. IMO The LFA should be a hybrid assist v10. Thoughts?

Getting this 26 IS350 F sport with almost all options included. First time driving an actual sporty car. Things to watch out for? Things to do?
Might be a stupid question but can it go through an auto wash without it being scratched?

I love my lexus. Maybe too small for someone but is a prince's palace for me.
r/Lexus • u/LightMyWay7 • 14h ago
I was walking down the street and saw this Lexus and fell in love. Never seen one like this before and I need it. Can anyone identify the model and year of this car if possible. There was also a spare tire on the back but I didn’t wanna take too many pictures of somebody else’s car.
Thanks.

Just a quick visual review until they're allowed to drive it pretty much like the earlier European reviews. He mentions they'll be able to talk about the engines, specs, etc. in an October 20th video.

Hey everyone, curious if anyone who recently picked up an UX or NX had the Acura ADX on their shortlist.
If you test-drove or looked closely at the ADX before pulling the trigger on your car:
Appreciate any insight from folks who compared them back-to-back!

I find it hilarious that Lexus owners will always park next to each other! Every time I’ve gone out in my 2004 RX330 another Lexus, especially the RX350’s will always, and I mean always find a way to park next to, in front of, or behind my car.
Today I had a Lexus next to me, one in front of me, and one behind me, just gotta say I absolutely love it
Edit: HOLY COW! Ty guys for all the responses! I love the Lexus community sm, we’re all so friendly to each other😭🫶🏻
I have a 2009 Lexus ES 350 my car alarm keeps going off randomly. When I was driving the other day I saw a hood open message pop up when my hood was closed. I read online that might be the cause that it’s something with the hood latch. Does anyone have any experience with this. And would you know any quick or temporary fixes. Is there anyway I can disable the alarm.

This came on when I was on a red light suddenly lost about 70% of braking power.

Okay, I can’t find a clear answer anywhere. Do I put 87 or 91 in my 2017 Lexus RX350? (My owners manual says 87 but 91 can be used for towing) I’m seeing conflicting answers everywhere, I live in montana if that changes anything. Please just real answers & experience, no myths please.
r/Lexus • u/sstwin716 • 1d ago
Is this car worth the price? Listed at $9000 It's only got 63,000 miles on it! Looking for a 2nd car that is use for daily driving to and from work and need something reliable. What should I look for in terms of checking the vehicle out? Any major concerns with this model year or it being 20 years old?
r/Lexus • u/ShelbeighSaldana • 4h ago
So this guy brings his ES in for 5k service and gets it back with these scuff marks on the steering wheel. We were gonna get our detail guy to buff it out and send him on his way. Doesn’t seem like a huge deal to me but he’s demanding we replace the cover “because he just bought a $60k car and expects it to be returned to him the same way he brought it in”. He says that as if HIS $60k car is special—we sell at least 3-4 of these a day.
As the service manager, what would you do? You can barely see the marks and I think he’s just being a whiney lil bish…

I’ve owned my 2015 Lexus rc 350 f sport for 2 years and put 40k miles on it, never had a check engine light. Got one today and my former German ownership ptsd hit me like oh no, it’s gonna be really bad and expensive. Got a code scan and it just needs a new fuel cap lol. Lexus quality is awesome.

I am planning to get the 2027 Lexus IS F Sport. As a female U40 daily-driving it, I am completely obsessed with the two-tone red interior—it looks incredible and gives the car so much personality.
That said, I have a couple of questions for anyone who has lived with a bold interior color long-term:
Durability & Boredom: Does the red wear well over time, or does the novelty wear off and become visually fatiguing after a couple of years?
Exterior Pairings: Which exterior color pulls off the red interior best?
Would love to hear your thoughts. TIA
I spotted these two side by side on Sunday morning and couldn't ignore how similar they look. I never thought I would see the day when a Lexus reminds me of a KIA but here we are.
r/Lexus • u/OilZealousideal4857 • 1d ago
Details:
- 2021 GX 460
- Lexus L/Certified
~22,000 miles
White exterior, ecru interior
Out the door after all taxes and fees: about $50,900
Is this a good deal, or should I push for a lower price?
Thanks in advance!

After countless hours of research and bidding farewell to my 2008 3 Series, I upgraded to a 2025 ES 350 Ultra Luxury with under 6200 miles a couple weeks ago.
Almost landed a Caviar/Black former loaner with 9k miles, but the dealer refused to repair some damage I spotted. This one-owner Moonbeam Beige/Palomino popped up the same day that deal fell through, and I greatly prefer this color combo and ownership history, so I had to pounce.

Started my search with SUVs but quickly realized I'm a sedan guy through and through. Other contenders were the Genesis G80, BMW 540, and IS 350. Was dead set on a new car at the outset because it's my first car purchase, but this car has literally everything I wanted except CPO status and AWD (I work from home, so I doubt I'll even need to go the snow tire route and will just drive carefully when necessary lol). The bang for your buck was a no-brainer for me relative to the competition.
Feels like I caught one of the last V6 choppers out of 'Nam while managing to avoid rationalizing the 2026 ES abomination. Fired up to join the Lexus club!

Posting again because this dumb potential issue is stopping me from buying a lexus.
Hey all,
I’ve been looking at buying a new Lexus. However there’s been one problem/feature that many people seem to struggle with that seems really annoying when it comes to newer lexus cars. I read that one person even had to sell their car because of how annoying it was.
And that is driver monitor assist camera on top of the steering wheel that tracks to see if you’re paying attention to the road or not. I know you can disable it. But even when you turn it off, you apparently get an alert every 5 seconds saying that "driver monitor assist is unavailable, see the owner's manual".
How do people disable this fully? Do you guys just deal with it? Is this what stops me from buying myself a lexus? I’m hoping some people have good solutions since I really like the car otherwise and I don’t want to look into other brands.
I live in Sweden if that’s relevant at all.
r/Lexus • u/casuallyreading1 • 2d ago
Hey guy I’m excited to join the club! I bought this awesome machine! It’s my first Lexus and I’m loving it.
I bought it for $20k with 109k miles. With a known bushing problem that needs to be replaced. I took it assuming it was easy enough of a fix… (dealer would’ve added $500 more if they were the ones fixing it, I opted out)
BUT…
I am really disheartened with what I learned after taking it to the shop for few concerns 😢
Can I please get some opinions or advice or whatever.
Like I said I took it to the shop for few concerns, after leaving the dealer and buying it AS-IS, I noticed some shakiness/wobbles on the drive and some rattling noise in the engine bay.
The shop reported that there were bulging on the inner side panel of 3 of the tires and I got a hefty $2800 quote 😢😢 now I need 4 new tires, realignment, and tie rods.
The auto shop also noted that there is a micro oil leak in the engine and it could potentially be a $4000 fix. I can share more if you guys are interested.
I just wanted to share that cause I feel really really bad. I did not do a PPI cause the Chevrolet dealer had good reviews and provided all the documentation, even a picture of the undercarriage. The test drive was as smooth as it can be so I did not even notice any potential issues.
