My first Lexus, WOW! fell in love just sitting in the passenger seat, after a drive just had to have it. I look forward to the drive to and from work, 37 miles each way. Its hard to say what I like best about the 430, the ride(it glides), the power(130 MPH, it drove as good as it did at 60), mileage (22.6 average), and that’s letting it have it's head , the look, the soft luxurious leather, with air flow through the seats, keep it up Lexus, this 430 will not be my last.

Great Performance without a hint of effort. I was a BMW 5 series person for the last 5 years and I'm very happy to have made the switch to this car.

An Excellent Blend

I have to agree with the majority of the reviews of my car. Yes, it has outstanding acceleration, good handling, the best ML audio system, etc. But it does not have the overall connection with the road that would make the car a blast to drive. This is my second GS; the first was a '98 GS400. Both were bought new. The '01 is a definite improvement over the '98 becuase of the ML audio, additional luxury and safety improvements. Would I buy again? Definitely. The combination of the performance, luxury and reliability is top notch. No, it does not handle like a BMW540, but beats it in all other ways.

from the day I owned this car it has drifted and taken every bump moving the car to the next lane. I have had the car in alomst every month and I am told it's the same thing. Lo profile tires. I have 36k miles on the car and have had to replace the tires 4 times. 2 weeks ago the battery died on me. I was told by a tire store that Lexus has been tweeking the alignment in, so it drives straight. I asked lexus about this and they of course have denied this. The car is gorgeous but I never know.
