Best Luxury Car

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.

I didnt know what all the fuss was about. I said I'd never spend this much money on a car. After test driving this I fell in love but after owning this car for 2 weeks I think its safe to say I'll never own anything else.

Third LS

This is my third LS. Having had 97 (still going strong with 235,000), 05 that I'd probably still be driving if it hadn't been totalled. The 09 performs great, highway mileage of 25mpg. Great in the snow. Shocks are a bit pricey at $1100 each with the air ride and sport suspension package. At 145000 had to replace the radiator and thermostat and a CV Boot. I have a 97 LS400 and didn't have to do the radiator until 240,000 miles. The 460's cabin is a bit noisy and there's a whine that's apparent. Dealer said it's not the transmission. Did have an issue with the interior but Lexus paid for the fix, eventually.

Excellent Car

True luxury vehicle with no real drawbacks. Acceleration excellent at all speeds and driving conditions. Went with all the bells and whistles. No wind noise experienced at highway speeds so far. Driver feedback from steering wheel could be greater compared to a M45 or 5 series. Liked LS 460 ride and street acceleration much better than considerably more expensive 7 series. Much more luxurious and larger than 5 series or M45. Great mileage so far. Fit and finish are excellent. Only driven 1500 miles so far but includes lots of driving including highways and rough back roads. Extremely comfortable.

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