The power of Lexus

FOR the past seven years, the Auto Express Driver Power survey has been one of the most influential motoring satisfaction and reliability reports in the business. To date, over a quarter of a million car owners have taken part ? and they haven?t held back with their views.

There?s one manufacturer that, year after year, receives glowing reports about both its cars and franchised outlets ? Lexus.

In the first part of Auto Express?s extended Driver Power report it listed the top 100 cars. The Skoda Octavia took the top sport, with the highest placed Lexus, the IS, in fifth place. To rank an entire range, Auto Express averaged the scores for each of its models. That?s where Lexus comes out on top, proving that superbly built cars have been rolling out of its factories for years.

Lexus? status in Driver Power was confirmed in the dealer report. Readers said there was no other franchised dealer in any of the five judging categories which could measure up.
