I test drove the Infiniti Q45, the Lincoln Towncar, the Toyota Avalon, and the Lexus LS 430. The Avalon was too small, the Towncar handled badly, and the Q45 was nice but I got a better deal on the Lexus Ls430. This car handles very well ( Not as well as the Avalon or Q45.) This car has the smoothiest ride ever and has a wonderful stero syestem.

This car has excellent lines, an exceptional interior design and is a joy to drive. I could not be happier with my purchase. It is an awesome automobile.

What a wonderful car. This is the kind of a car you want to get on the highways and drive. The ride is smooth and quiet, with all the power you could want for a luxury car.

Headon crash

11/29/04 we were struck headon by an intixicated driver followed with a rear crah by a truck that was unable to stop. Thanks to 4 airbags that deployed and fastened seatr belts my wife and I only sustained minor injuries. I'm convinced that the car saved our lives. The '04 was "totaled" and we just took delivery of an identical '05 relacement. Out 7th LS since 1990. Nothing compares to an LS regardless of price and now of safety also.

A true luxury car!

I traded a 2004 LS 430 for a 2005 LS 430 - wanted the 18" wheels and a lighter color. Although the Black Cherry Pearl of my 2004 was beautiful, it was a nightmare to keep clean. Traded for the Crystal White. Much easier to maintain the appearance and I love the sportiness of the bigger wheels. They cause a slightly stiffer ride, but coming from a cloud to a lesser cloud...? One amazing experience: I traveled from York, PA to Williamsburg, VA on a business trip so I had the opportunity to check strictly highway gas mileage. Amazing - I got just over 30MPG! 271 miles on nine gallons. In a V8, rear-wheel-drive car. Unbelievable if I hadn't done it myself.
