This is my fourth LS 430. They have all been the best cars I have ever owned. Prior tot he Lexus I drove Mercedes for twelve years and the difference is amazing. There has never been a better auomobile than the LS 430 in my opinion. I bought the 2006 because I had seen pictures of the 2007 and didnt like the styling as much.

This car is so quiet both inside and outside it is almost hard to tell when it is running or not. Very dependable. Comfortable seating front and rear. Fun to drive. Good response to power on the highway when passing.

One flaw ruins the whole car

Bought this used last year after a ton of looking. Found what I wanted and was happy with the deal. I would rate the car a 9 or better if it weren't for one issue. The driver's seat is one the most uncomfortable I have ever had. Certainly not at all what one would expect. Dealer says nothing is wrong and is unwilling to consider a replacement seat even though it is still under warranty. Others who have driven the car, say the same thing. Unfortunately, this one issue will force me to sell the car. Looks like my 3rd Lexus may be my last.

So far everything works except for the expected voice activation portion of the navigation system. I purchased this car because I wanted to spend very little time dealing with repairs and fixes. I’m expecting that nothing will require fixing and the only reason I will find myself at the dealership is to change the oil. This is a rear wheel drive car, so I hope it does well in the snow.

Do not get chrome wheels!!! Peeling after 6 yrs. tires can't stay balanced. Trying to replace wheels is a disaster. Even dealer can't guarantee that new wheels will fit with performance brake calipers. Closest dealer is 60 miles . I carry a tire inflator with me at all times. because of chrome wheels deteriorating can' keep tires inflated at proper Lbs Breaks beads. hvae to have them cleaned every 6 months. resetting maintanance schedule is a pain Have to crawl under dash. Blow fuses for cigaret lighter recharging Phones etc also trunk release finally had to have my wheels re done. @$260 each Outside chrome [Grill ] is peeling and turning black I wll turn 80,000 miles this month disappointed in such a high quality vehicle.
