Germans need to learn from Lexus.

I've owned many cars in my life (Japanese and German) and this is by FAR, the most reliable car I've ever owned. Interior is great...clean, functional and with great quality. Power is ample with the GS430 (GS300 is WEAK!) and the best part is the quality, reliablilty and service from Lexus. Something that BMW and Mercedes can't touch! (How 'bout those BMW E46 M3 engine failures and Mercedes well know electrial problems? I know, I've owned both!)

What most purists see as an unacceptable compromise, has been a wonderful balance for me. The Lexus does 0-60 in the same time as my S4 did, but does not require me to "drive" all the time like the Audi did. For those with a long commute, it's an superb blend of power, handling and amenities. The best part, however, is dealing with Lexus, who is the ONLY car company that appreciates their customers. They simply cannot do enough for you and after dealing with the Audi's and BMW's of the world, that is beyond refreshing.

As one who has owned 5 Lexus automobiles, this is definitely the best one. If you are interested in a relatively trouble-free vehicle coupled with good comfort and performance and all of the "bells and whistles", the 2004 LS430 is the car for you.

I bought this case because everything was included. This is a great car for the La freeways and on the highways /long road trips. Fit finish live up to the Lexus name. Great power- I average 19 ciy 24 highway; I have 9000+ miles on the car and no problems! I switched from a ML430 where I had several problems. I miss my previous BMW 5 series!
