              Lexus ES350

              Pros - ["I feel safe in the car.", "It is sturdy and strong"]

              Cons - ["servicing is expensive.", "Parts and repair is expensive."]

              My Lexus ES 350 is a very reliable luxury sedan. I have been in a couple of accidents but not a scratch incurred. It keeps me that safe. It is very sturdy and strong. After so many year of using it, I have grown emotionally attached to this car.
