The wife is using the skoda more and more so it's not practical for me to rely on it. That LS500 is a tempting option. That front grill is divisive though, my goodness.

Sure. So it was about £7k when I bought it in 2016 and it's a 2005 reg, one lady owner (it was a doctor actually!) and it was 70k on the clock and pristine condition, looked like the back seats had never been sat in. Now it's about 115k miles. It has developed a somewhat rickety creaky feel to it which I think is more to do with age than usage as almost all my miles are weekend motorway miles.

Thanks! That's what I'm thinking. By the way the Skoda has adaptive cruise control (so it changes according to distance), that's the only thing I really miss on the lexus but on my shopping list for the next car.

Hello! I have a Lexus RX400H from 2005 and I love it, has served me well since forever despite being so long in the tooth. Recently also got a brand new high spec Skoda Kodiaq and yes it's probably the best car I've driven... except for the Lexus. What can I say, the seats are luxury comfortable, it's a breeze to drive, never any issues (besides CAT being stolen) and yes. So question is, what would be the best follow up to the lexus? Just go for the obvious RX450H? Or something else. (oh and I'm in the UK). And if so then does it make sense on these kinds of cars to lease or to buy outright? Could easily have it for next 5-10 years but then the world is changing fast with electric taking over.
