My twin brother car
The 2005 Lexus 430 LS is the best luxury driving machine I.ever driven. I have taken several long trips in it with my brother to the coast of florida . I drove it all the time. What a experience it was. I couldn't feel the road at all. I feltl like I was floating down the interstate. Awesome Mark Levinson sound system made the ride even more enjoyable. Heated and cooled seats long with plenty of trunk space just to mention a few extras. I don't understand why Lexus would quit making this particular model. It has the European look that makes it stand out even more. The quality in this vehicle is excellent. Why would you take perfection and make a mess out of it?

I love it twice...
My second LS 430, this one trumps the 02 I had easily. The seats are much improved, and near perfect now. Handling is better, though not a Bimmer, it's good. Dependability is perfect. Love the Bluetooth phone, which works flawlessly with my Treo every time. The A/C is the best I've ever known, and the cooled seats are welcome in the desert. Can't get more luxury value for the money, IMO.

The Dream Boat !
This car is the smoothest riding car I have ever owned. I bought it with 180k on the clock but it rides and drives like a brand new one. I have had several mercedes and all were good cars but this Lexus blows them away by far ! I probably will never buy another Benz because they don`t stack up well against Lexus !

Wonderful Car
I have owned most luxury brands, and this is by far the best car I have owned (I got the Modern Luxury package with SmartAccess). I tested the others, but the Lexus was simply in a different league. Ride quality is extraordinary-- both smooth and quiet. The interior is exceptionally well crafted. If you cannot get comfortable in the LS 430's seats, you simply cannot get comfortable in any car. Performance is better than I expected. The LS 430 does not have quite as many technological gadgets as the Acura or Infiniti, but it certainly has enough.
LEXUS TRUTH
Lexus is stand alone quality, reliability, and comfort. This car is no exception. It DOES have sporty handling - all the driver need do is utilize the controls at their disposal, namely to down shift and place in "sport" mode, and then the vehicle literally behaves like a sports car. Lexus is the enlightened choice. It is the most economical choice, because of its durability and reliability. Since it lasts three times longer than a quality cheap car, it is the most economical and enlightened car purchase choice. These are the facts. Safe driving to you.
