This is my sixth Lexus vehicle and the best of all with the Executive Package. It is a solidly well built and quiet vehicle with absolute comfort and interior design, especially in the rear compartment which almost resembles the cabin of a private jet. Despite its 4300 lb weight, I get about 20 mpg around town and 30 mpg highway, depending upon traffic conditions. Its power is impressive as well as its 8 speed transmission which is seamlessly smooth. One minor drawback is the roughness of downshifting at 30 mph. Handling is good for the most part, except for some slight pitching on turns which is to be expected due to its size. Overall this car has everything one could ever want.

Car has been in the repair shop three times in less than 2 years. Brake problems. What a pain for a $75,000 Car.

I have owned this car for little more than 4 years, bought it at 60k miles and now it have 146K miles. Great car till it comes to front suspension issue, its a money pit. I have had my fair share of BMW ownership as well; however, my Lexus tops BMW in repair bills. I have put over $5K just in suspension work and no this car has never been in any accident. What happened to the legendary reliability? I guess it is only legend with this car, even dealership acknowledges the inherent issue. Shame on you Lexus for charging the premium price for this junk as well as the premium price for parts. Update: Dealer recommended to replace brake activator assembly for $3,706.91 for making noise,, they always refused to fix it when the car was under warranty because it was the character of LS460 and didn't cause any danger to its occupants. Interior of the car has started to melt in Houston TX heat. Just Google yourself "Melting Toyotas". Lexus has refused to fix 2008 and onward,,, they are only doing the recall on 2007 LS460. The most disappointing car I have ever purchased. Lexus LS460 sales have dropped 2007 - 35,226 to 2015 - 7,165 (US sales).... Keep making cheap cars Lexus..... Update: Steering went out (153K), had to spend $3,152 for a new rack and pinion. Also, dealer notified me that I need additional suspension repair for $2,168 to replace driver and passenger knuckle because due to worn out lower ball joint. My wife calls it "Bottomless pit". Update: finally sold it at 158K, it did bring more in trade then I was expecting. I know Lexus makes good cars even though LS460 was a total failure from me, I decided to purchase a GX460.

While I'm a little confused looking at the EPA estimated miles-per-gallon performance, I certainly do enjoy the performance of my LS. Around town, including a 25-mile interstate trip once a week, I'm enjoying 19-21 mpg. On a highway trip when traffic is moving, I can almost achieve 32 mpg, and that's at 75-80 mph. Except for a trunk opener failure, this is an unbelievable machine.
