Pound per pound the Best car ever built
After thoroughly evaluating and test driving the BMW 745, the S500 and the LS 430, the Lexus LS is pound per pound the best car ever built. The interior of this vehicle is 2nd to none. There is no other car manufacturer that can beat Lexus in this category. The exterior is beautiful as well. Many people want to claim that the exterior is subdued, but I disagree. I get plenty of compliments when I drive the Lex. And third, and most importantly, is the reliability. Lexus sets the standard in this category.
True Luxury, Great Road Car
Everything one would expect from Lexus: the cabin is quiet and surrounds one in understated by unmistakable luxury. Very quick at all speeds and excellent braking. Cornering is OK, but this is not a "driver's" car. It is, however, outstanding on the freeway and on long trips and comfortable and capable if not exciting around town. GREAT highway passing ability. My actual highway mileage is 25+ mpg -- and I don't drive 55. In town, expect 15-17 depending on mix and how heavy one's foot is. The Mark Levinson sound system is magnificent. Back seat comfort is arguably better than the front seat. The shifter is extremely nice and can enhance driving experience and reduce brake wear.

Best car...ever!
I purchased this car 4 years ago and I never regretted it for a second. Refined, comfortable and with power to spare, I love driving this car. I drive a lot for work and reliability has been 100%. I change the oil every 5k and timing belt due soon which is a 2k hit, but I plan on keeping this car for at least 5 more years. I want to hit 500k. So far I'm at 180k and drives like new. I religiously keep up with maintenance schedules and have had no problems whatsoever. Nothing like a lexus!
Wow
I traded in my 2001 LS430, and just love the new version. Lots of nice touched, great ride and I love the Smart Key!
Nnothing Compares to the LS430
This is a truly superb vehicle in design, performance and reliability. It is our 3rd Lexus and it is hard to get my wife to let me use it. The seats are fantastic. This is an outstanding highway cruiser with outstanding fuel economy and comfort. We will buy another Lexus when we replace this one.
