I'm still driving a Lexus LS430 I bought new in 2001

I drove a 2002 for about five years and sold it with 225k miles when I felt like the transmission was going to need some work. How those power close doors are not standard equipment in every new car made now 25 years later seems criminal to me. Easily the quietest riding car I have ever owned. Love our EVs but the wind noise always leaves me thinking about the LS.

Our garage at that time had the LS, a Toyota Sienna and Toyota Tundra. All three took the same oil filter and oil. The only annoying maintenance were the timing belts.
