A joy to drive
My 4th lexus and the best one yet. Wherever I am going I am never in a hurry to get there, enjoy the ride, the music especially and the quietness of the car. Only problem I have is with the Nav system. It's just a bit complicated. I am looking forward to seeing the new 2007 although I am not sure what they can improve. Maybe style if anything and hopefully the nav system will be a little easier to figure
good car, design flaws
This is my 2nd ls430 in a row. There is too much wind noise and the dealership, although accomodating (they even replaced the wind shield) could not find the problem. They took out the occilating front vents (great feature), the message recorder and the emergency sat link. All missed very much. The seats are less comfortable. This is my first "ultra luxury" package, and my last.

LS 430 Ultra is the BEST of the BEST
The LS 430 Ultra is the very best the car industry has to offer. Heated/cooled seats, perimeter parking sensors, laser-guided cruise control, integrated voice-activated phone - this has it all. My ONLY complaint is that Lexus disables 90% of the GPS functionality once you start moving. That is fine for safety (as the driver needs to pay attention to driving) but COMPLETELY ignores that there might be a passenger there who COULD use it. So instead, we pull over on the shoulder on the highway and risk death, to stop the car to put in the location - that we can't do otherwise because my Lexus is saving me from myself. This is going to be a GREAT lawsuit one day!
04 LS430 Bang for the buck
Smooth, extra quiet, 16-18 MPG around town. What a car. Maybe not as fast or as nimble but who cares when you are riding in the utmost of quiet comfort. Not much out there like it.
The Best Car on the Road
The Lexus is by far the best vehicle on the road. It is a joy to drive and is also very pleasing to the eye. Being the former owner of a Jaguar, I can say unequivocally that this car is so much more reliable, so much more comfortable and last but not least more quiet than a Jaguar. Kudos to the design genius that kept women in mind while designing this car. You thought of everything from the seat adjustments to the vanity lighted mirrors. Just pure enjoyment!!
