This car is very classy. It is not gender specific, men and women would both enjoy driving this car and the body style. It is fast and great on fuel. I do notice that the older the car gets the fuel to mileage decreases, and that's with getting services regularly. It is very important to take care of this car with regular maintenance to ensure that it will stay in good shape. Do not get intimidated by the cover underneath the hood. There are things that are really easy to do as a car owner that the dealership overcharges for such as, changing headlights, change air filters, refilling wiper fluid and changing the batter. The secure buttons on the cover under the hood are very easy to pop out and in, just ensure to keep up with them.

While I wish the mileage on the Lexus 250 was better, our large family still had some very good times in this car. It has a beautiful looking exterior which people always mistook for a Audi for some reason. I wish I could describe the paint job, but ours had a slightly dull finish which was more eye-catching than some of our friend's shinier, newer cars. We loved the mechanical features. Believe it or not, I grew up on manual window controls so I always thrill for any mechanical windows. These were especially quiet though. More than once, a passenger didn't hear the window being raised. The Lexus 250 was also my first car with a navigation system so that experience was very thrilling and its directions rarely led me astray which is a good thing for my direction-challenged self. This may sound strange but I remembered that it also had the best car seats I've ever owned- they were very form fitting and I always appreciated them on long road trips, which we took a lot of. We also loved the leather upholstery which is sorely missed with our new car.
