What the figures tell you
The 4.3L 8-cylinder does the work, through a 6-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
Combined fuel use is 12.4 L/100 km: about 37 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $21.70, and a 300 km weekend about $65.10. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who the LS suits
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
The LS in everyday use
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. For luggage, 453 litres means a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the LS for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the LS tells you more than any review.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Running costs
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $217 at our price setting.
