No problems. 2 time Lexus owner. We really like the car and service. Mark Levinson stereo is fantastic! Best and most fun car I have ever owned. Test drove the BMW M5, 540, 740. M5 was great, too pricey. 540 too noisy and not quite enough power. 740, nice car but I could run faster. Lexus hit the mark by balancing speed, safety, and luxury at a reasonable price.

PREVIOUS CAR 99 GS400. 2002 GS430 IS MUCH IMPROVED. STEERING, BRAKING, TORQUE, GPS AND MARK LEVINSON RADIO ALL IMPROVED. LOVED THE 99, BUT THE 430 IS BETTER. I DUMPED THE 17" TIRES THAT I HAD ON THE 99, BEST MOVE I'VE MADE, RODE LIKE A TRUCK AND SOUNDED LIKE SNOW TIRES. ALSO DUMPED THE BOY RACER SPOILER, WHICH LOOKS OUT OF PLACE FROM THE SIDE. GREAT RIDE, SPEED, LUXURY AND BEST OF ALL NO PROBLEMS. A FRIEND HAS A BMW 540I, HE COULD WRITE A BOOK ABOUT HIS PROBLEMS.

GS430 - watch out BMW & BENZ

Fantastic car. Faster than a Boxster, 540, E430. More comfy than the BMW. Better control layout than the others. Better build quality in my experience too. JM LExus is THE dealership. BMW guy was snotty and insisted on going on the test drive. MERC dealer wanted my credit card before allowing a test drive (right!) Lexus chap said "take it out for the day" and I did!

I have tried used most, and tested the rest, vehicles in the top consumer class. The Lexus (my first L) is the first luxury sedan I have acquired without a lingering feeling that I failed to get it all. This is the first time in my auto-buying career that I can sit up and breethe a complete breath of pure satisfaction.
