I love my car - 3 years later there is not another car on the road that I want to drive. The only down side we have seen is that the brakes wear unreasonably quick - 20k miles or there about. That does not change my mind about the car - she handles oh so well!

I purchased mine a Lexus Certified Used car, and all I can is "wow!" This car has just about everything a driver would need under the Sun. Once in gear, this car is like race horse ready to sprint out of the gate. The handling is excellent and very agile around corners and curves. One has to watch, however, the speedometer, as I found myself going from 40 to 80 in a few seconds.

I purchased this car in 2012 with 67,000 miles on it from a random used car dealer (it did have service records and it was a one owner vehicle however). Here I am in 2020 with 148,000 miles on it and this thing is still going strong and reliable everyday. I've replaced one starter and one alternator. Thats it, thats all!!! The rest of the service I've had performed were regular maintenance and wear and tear items......The motor is still silent and powerful with a subtle growl when you punch it. The car literally outlasted the paint. I had the color changed from Lexus black to Lexus pearl white. To make a long story short (too late...lol), this has been one of highest overall quality cars I've ever owned. I'm thinking of buying another car, but I'm not trading my Lexus!!!! I can't justify it. I'll park it and let it rest for a while. Maybe I'll drive it a few times a week. But not ready to let it go yet....I'd have separation anxiety!!!! Lexus is forever!!!!

I absolutely love this vehicle! The GS 430 has an engine that rocks, an interior that had to be fitted by the people at the Four Seasons, the best stereo system in the Mark Levinson bar none, and a design that makes your mouth water. Lexus needs to stop thinking it needs to chase the BMW 5 series. You are the benchmark in my mind.

2006 Lexus GS 430 Review

Really enjoy the car except for the minor problems. Car has great performance, could only imagine it being perfect with the new LS 460's engine. Needs a bigger fuel tank, better seat heaters, and the Mark Levinson stereo needs more bass... nothing an aftermarket JL Audio sub can't cure. Car seems to have a few rattles in the dash that dealer has yet to narrow down and the brakes began to squeal. I was told that these are performance brakes and its normal. Lexus's solution is to put on less performance pads and lose out on the great brakes, I don't think so. I also would like to shut off the way to sensitive traction control, which I believe you can on the 2007.
