It's good if it came with NAV and you paid only $23K or less for it, otherwise, okay car.
We have it as a loaner vehicle for when we bring in our Lexus and it's good for it's price range and competition (Acura TL, Infiniti I class (no more) and other mid-range "luxury" vehicles) vehicles. The inside is not as upscale in quality or fit-n-finish as the GS or LS, but it's typical Lexus quality and reliability.
Personally, comparison, it's better than a BMW, except that it's front-wheel-drive and not rear-wheel-drive like BMW's, but reliability is far better on Lexus. You'll enjoy it more trouble free on the Lexus.

You did great! Especially if you bought it as Lexus Certified which gives a 3 year/100,000 mile warranty together with roadside assistance.
About a year ago, Car and Driver magazine published a study which revealed that a 9 year old Lexus still brakes down less often than a year old Mercedes!
Also, newest study done by J. D. Power and Assoc. has Lexus as by far the most dependable manufacturer for the 14th consecutive year!

It's a great car.
It's compares well with other luxury vehicles. More reliable than any BMW and inexpensive to maintain.
You made a really good choice.
