I have one - I prefer reliability to boring.....but then I am a banker.....

I am also thinking of getting a driver - I hate driving.

EDIT: Just occurred - and business won't be so good for you then if people start buying reliable cars

No way. The Camrys that are available here are made in Australia, whereas the Lexus is made in Japan. There is just no comparison between the two- the Lexus is far superior

lexues 6 years ago or more , was more reliable ..

however

the current lexues is still more relaible than the rest of the cars

it was considered the number 1 car with less problems in the whole world.

and i think it may be still keeping this as a record.

Absolutely right.

There was an article (let me dig it out) that after 200,000 kms, a Lexus was still more reliable than a new Merc..lol

i got in once in a taxi that was 2001 model .. it was a toyota corrola

i look at how many kilomitars the driver drove it and guess how much


650,000 km ...

another corrolla which was 97 model .. was droven to about 900,000 km


i asked both of them about things that went down and both said only minor things..


toyota or lexues they build cars to last longer than any other car
