The 2006 LS 430 defined what being a Lexus means.

The 2006 LS 430 was the last year for the 430, as a result all the "bugs" (if any?) were identified the previous years leaving the refined 2006 LS 430 as the high water mark for the LS series and Lexus. The LS 460 has not enjoyed the perfection the LS 430 achieved making the 2006 LS 430 one of the finest automobiles available to this day and why the prices are very high, especially for the Luxury optioned vehicles with low mileage and service records being the ultimate vehicle available at any price today. My Uncle had a Bentley Azure turbo convertible that went for as much as many homes, it was allegedly the epitome of refinement but I can tell you at 120 mph hit the brakes on the Bentley and it might pull you out of your lane! I have driven every car you can imagine and none have the refinement od perfection of the 2006 LS 430. Look on the Lexus owners forums, the 2006 Lexus LS 430 is the car to be had for the knowledgeable aficionado.

Best car for the money

I'm in the finance business so I drive a lot. This is my 4th Lexus in 12 years all LS's. I went to test drive the MBZ S-Class, the 750 BMWs and the Infiniti M45 and I still come back for the best ride for the money. Reliability is a major factor in my decision plus I'm not a techno guy. Always looking for a solid ride and this car delivers. It helps that it has beautifull spacious cabin. Another 50 to 60hp will help against the Germans. I'm in my early forties I do feel the car styling a bit old fashioned. I know that the 2007 model new looks will help attract a younger crowd. Will trade up for new model can wait.

The car drives like a dream.

My last car was a Lexus LS 400.Car was 11 years old and ran perfectly. Will not own anything else. It is a quiet, comfortable and very reliable car. The car is almost maintenance free as long as you take it in for its checkups. The seats and interior are of the best quality and extremely comfortable. The sensors or parking guides are a big asset. The headlights shine 180, you are able to see the side streets at night to make a turn. You will have one of the smoothest rides you have ever had. Holds the road beautifully. The car drives itself. Will never own anything else.

25000 and rolling

The best car I've ever owned, so good that mentioning a few nit-picks seems out of place. Still, the front door are too long for easy opening in a parking lot. The nav. system was very hard to me to learn. The voice-operated controls are not useful and I keep hitting the "on" button for them with my left knee. But -- the mileage average over 25 in my rural medical practice, the sound system works flawlessly, guests in the backseat keep raving about their experience.

2005 LS 430 Excellence number 7

I have owned seven Lexus LS model cars. Each one has been better than the previous model. I have owned many other brands of automobiles in my life and none have been as totally satisfying as the Lexus. Nothing ever goes wrong with these cars. My latest LS 430 gets 21/22 mpg in all around driving and 26/28 mpg on highway trips.
