Have owned my LS 430 for about 6 months. This is the best car in the world. Super comfortable seats front/rear. Superb fit and finish. Quiet as a tomb. Killer Levinson stereo - best I have ever heard. Efficient motor can get almost 30 mpg on long trips. Navigation is easy, can't live without it now. Very quick off the line and can cruise over 100 mph silently. I go for rides just for fun/relaxation. Looks very classy too. Clients love it.
Best Car I've ever owned

I love driving this car, the only thing that improved the car was putting Michelin tires on it. In the 4 years I've had it, not once has it been in the shop. It is a bit hard on tires, but for the ride and preformance, it's worth it. Probably the worse thing about the car, is it's looks, but the inside is perfect, great ride, lots of power.

I bought this car after my 1999 LS got totaled. I also had a 93 LS, 98 GS, and 93 ES before. All great and reliable cars, with the ES being the least reliable if that even makes sense. I was in love with the 99, really loved that car, but after picking this one up in New Jersey at Lawrenceville Lexus, its just all around greatness. Purchased in December at 112k, it is now at 120k. Besides the 120k I just did, all I've changed was the front brakes, rotors. Very comfortable, economical(20-24 MPG HWY/CITY combined), fast when you need it to, and hugs the road pretty well. The only quirk I have is the Mark Levinson speakers. The front speakers have blown, and I replaced sub with Polk Audio

I just bought my car December 26th 2018 and I am still getting to know my car thus far, my only complaint is the key recognition to the system it takes live at times for the key recognition before the key actually turns and it makes me feel unsafe and certain places. And it is the flagship car for Lexus brand so be prepared to pay the price for simple light bulbs being $99 a piece and mine are flashing as if it has a shortage. But list price brand new these cars range around $84,000 so I paid $6,000 .. my car practically drives like it did in 2001 and has executive driven miles .. I'd say it is reliable, comfortable, the heated seats are great, excellent sound system and even though it's rear-wheel-drive I hit it pretty good in the rain and did not fishtail at all. I feel like I'm winning with this car cuz I needed it has low miles and has been very taken care of how to be prepared for me to buy it this many years later... /G\

Guess what? I'm 40, eschewed the Beamer and Q and went for the safe bet..the LS 430. I love the car, but has been beset with annoying problems...orange peel paint on roof (fiexed by dealer), shuddering steering wheel retraction mechanism (replaced by dealer), annoying tick tick sound in the dash and door are (allegedly fixed, but I can still hear it; the car is soo damn quiet) and I too have noticed the frigging tires are almost worn at 17K miles! I have obviously been disappointed in Lexus "quality" and chose not to buy my wife the new GX470. Sorry guys, Acura MDX wins the SUV race. I do however love the way the car drives and accelerates.
