1992 Lexus LS Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, drivers appreciate the reliability, performance, and luxurious feel of the 1992 Lexus LS. They love its powerful engine and decent gas mileage, which contribute to a satisfying driving experience. However, some drivers are not as fond of the handling and acceleration, along with the maintenance costs associated with the vehicle."
This car was engineered and built when Toyota was really trying hard to establish itself in the luxury car field. It was an honest effort that only fell short in the handling dynamics, which are vague and unsettled, and brakes that cannot dissipate heat. The engine is world-class and a joy to work on (I did my own valve adjustment and timing belt) and a joy to live with, I get 27 mpg @ 75-80 mph. Interior quality is very good, paint is good, but the use of plastics throughout the car means you must be gentle and patient with all that you attempt to disassemble. The complexity of these cars must be respected or you will likely get punished with repairs. If you maintain the car properly and in a timely fashion and follow the directions to the letter, you will be rewarded with a lovely hushed driving experience. My first Lexus gave me 110,000 miles with nary a breakdown. This more used car I have had to do niggling repairs to bring it back to glory, but it is a real sweetheart.
December 1, 2009I like: Top Speed, Exterior and Interior Styling, Rims, Fun Factor, Sound System, Luxury, and Ability to Perform Massive Burnouts. I dislike: Handling, Acceleration, Broken Traction Control, the Lack of Modifications to the Engine, the size, expensive maintenance, and Gas Mileage
July 7, 2009Decent car, easy and cheap to maintain. Good gas mile rate.

September 22, 2021This car is still running strong with 242,000 miles on the odometer. It takes the abuse I dish out, I've done some donuts and drifts, and even beaten a couple of my friends in a race. It's got a 4.0 liter V-8 with an automatic transmission, and I'm guessing around 230hp, but that's just a rough guess.
