Lexus LS400

 

25% of the price.
double the MPG
10% of maintenance costs
200x the reliability

same (or damn close) luxury

I've test driven both in the last month or so -
from the inside, you wouldn't know the difference, except I think the lexus is better!

The problem is this.


The Lexus, be it a 400/430 /460 is a car which has had it's soul surgically removed.

It does what it says on the tin, but if you have red blood running through your veins it will never 'move you'

The Bentley on the other hand is a living, breathing, life force.......it's many flaws only adding to it's appeal.

It'a a steam locomotive that you can drive on the road, and long may anachronistic beasts of this type survive.

Big +1 from me,when it comes to pomp and ceremony only us brits can do it right

Personally had I the money-which I don't-and could bring myself to spend such an amount on a car-which I'm not sure I could-then I'd have a Bentley or Rolls tomorrow so go for it Lizzie!!As always but especially with such a vehicle buy the best you can afford.When[if] viewing one make sure it's sitting level as I believe they can suffer from sagging rear springs.Also I'm not sure how long they carried the system on for but the "Cloud"series and Shadows had a brake servo driven off the gearbox as a result of which the brakes didn't work any too well in reverse.

A Lexus feels no where near as special as a Bentley in my opinion, in fact I think they're extremely dull.

Lizzie or Bentley?

Just asking.

no such thing as dull when MrsEgg is driving.
"Terrifying" perhaps.
