Default input on lexus models

hi all. my apologies if i have started a previously answered thread. a buddy of mine recommended lexus when i mentioned i was looking for a vehicle. i currently own a '99 crv w/161k and although it's been extremely reliable for 12 years, i need something more comfortable. i'm really looking for legroom (6'1"), a t/t steering wheel, and not having to lean forward to see when the light changes from red to green. so far from what i've seen, i like the es330 and gs300 models; they seem to provide what i'm looking for. i don't mind at all driving a mid/late '90s model so long as it has the aforementioned qualities. any input based on your experience would be greatly appreciated.

RX330 or 350 sounds like the perfect Lexus for you.

How come you want to move to a car since having a CRV for so long?

If you really want a great ride and you want a sedan, and you are willing to buy an older one I would buy an LS.

The LS ages better than the other Lexus cars (which still age very well), and a well cared one with low miles is probably about the best used car value out there.

No other Lexus vehicle is as smooth and refined as the LS, that crosses all generations.

I'm new to Lexus this summer. I trade in my PU truck for a 05 ES330 and love it. Found the 05 with 95K added new water pump and timing belt kit. Washed and waxed it and would drive it anywhere. It is the closest feeling you can get to owning a new luxury car for only around 10K. I haven't had any experience with the LS but will look at that option if I ever wear this car out.
