The only downsides I've noticed with my series of LS400 are:
Servicing and parts costs, while very reasonable for a luxury car, are still much higher than for lesser vehicles.
If some arsewit breaks any glass except the windscreen, the replacement will likely come from Japan.
There's no trip computer (boggle!).
The remote central locking doesn't open the boot; you have to use the key, or the electronic release on the dashboard.
The transmission tunnel is big, so a third adult passenger in the back isn't very comfortable.
The finish on the standard alloys isn't that great, and weathers badly.
The front and rear fog lamp switches are in different places.
The front-seat passenger has switches for central locking, window and seat-belt height adjustment… and often gets them confused. (-8
I think a similar list for any other car would be much more substantial.
JD Power rated it the most satisfactory car on sale in the UK two years running with good reason.
