Great

	Supremely quiet and comfortable to drive
	A huge range of safety kit to deal with every eventuality
	Excellent reliability record

Gripes

	Rather cosy in the back seat (but maybe that’s the way you like it…?)
	A bit bland to sit in, you’d expect more fun at the price
	Automatic gearbox gets itself confused

Drive

Pacy, comfortable at speed and almost eerily quiet

Reliability

When the world ends, it’ll be a pristine Lexus found standing in the smoking ruins

Inside

Loads of instruments but the finish has all the pizzazz of rice pudding

Space

Positively luxurious upfront, but you will need to fold yourself in half in the back

Safety

An enormous range of safety kit plus smart key entry systems to deter thieves

Standards and extras

If it isn’t here it probably doesn’t exist!
