Unbelievable reliability

This is my 8th Lexus and all performed very well. My major complaint with my 2014 LS460 is the very dangerous way the driver is required to take his/her eyes of the road to navigate around the dashboard with a mouse.

2014 LS460 F Sport

This is our third Lexus and have been very pleased with the other new Lexus's (LS400 & LS430) we owned. Overall, we are very happy with the 2014 Lexus LS460 F Sport except for two unresolved issues. Issue #1: Noisy front Brembo brake pads. They have a very loud and annoying squeal when wet or when the temperature is below 20 deg. Fahrenheit. Have had the car in for warranty service and have had the updated pads (fix) replaced. The fix did not change the noise problem. Lexus is saying nothing else can be done. Issue #2: The truck lid leaks water into the truck on both sides near the tail light assemblies when raised after a heavy rain or after going through a car wash. Have had the car into Lexus and also a Lexus Rep. reviewed the problem. I was told this is a design problem and nothing can be done to fix the problem. This again is a very annoying problem, need to have a towel inside on each side to collect the water. Long term concern I have is, if water collects in the truck lid and doesn't drain properly will I have premature rust out of the trunk lid.

Weird engine knocking at idle and low speeds

My mechanic says there is a major problem with the engine that should be covered by the Lexus warranty. The dealer agreed that the noise is not normal, and had the regional Lexus rep look at it. He said that the sound was normal! Nobody reviews this car and says there is a "normal" knocking noise coming from the engine. It appears Lexus claims that they sell a luxury vehicle for over $70,000 that sounds like a Model T. I am know trying to get some resolution from Lexus to try and remedy this problem and back up their product. Does anyone have a suggestion on who to contact at Lexus?

Luxury at its finest

This car is unbelievably smooth and quiet. Almost too quiet with the stereo off. It gets up and moves very well but leaves a little more get up desired. The handling feels a little heavy but not unreasonable for car of its size. I did just trade in a Mercedes E350 so I’m used to a car that feels like go kart. All around it’s an excellent car with great options and reliability.

Squeaky Luxury

BEWARE of the large brakes on the F-Sport model. I bought my 2014 in August 2014 and with only 2K miles, the brakes are driving me nuts. Lexus is aware, as my car is on version three of the brake pads, and these dont work either. "There is a price to pay to have this much performance" Hogwash! That's PC for we can't fix them. Driver interface with the car via the mouse is circa 1995, very clunky and not intuitive. Love the ride, but she's underpowered. Would NOT buy this one again....and I love Lexus!!

Just lovely

I came out of a 2001 LS430 and after testing a 2012 I felt I really should try a 2014 LS460 as recommended online on the lexus owners site. It was the right thing to do: It handles very nicely (no its is not a sports car but unless you like to drive on the limit often it fits the bill). Against the 2001 which is boaty, this is just lovely. Fuel consumption is not bad but not great neither - even if you drive in ECO setting. Flip side.....you drive a 4.6L V8 with 380 horses - you want them to run they need to eat. The comfort setting is super smooth and unless you press the accelerator, its very quiet. The seats are divine and supportive and very comfortable (I am 6'6"). The steering wheel gets close but given my built (living on stilts) it would have been nice to see it move out a bit further. When you press the accelerator IT GOES and that is good enough for anyone who actually is buying one. The other thing is the built quality, which is tremendous. Again Lexus continues to provide car that you can buy used and does not require you to have bottomless pockets to repair, unlike its competitors (had a S500 1991-1999 gen which was bullitt proof - now I would not touch one again). Reliability is key for many buyers/drivers, strangely (is it? :( ) most manufacturers make theirs cars less so. I had read some negative feedback on the use of the mouse to manipulate the screen. It works just fine, all you have to do is put in a little effort to get used to it.

Shop the Germans first, then come see the Lexus LS460, bring your checkbook...Well Over a year later and my LS460 just keeps on pleasing, and my friends with the German car's are finally realizing that Lexus might have something. Their car's are costing them a fortune in JUST ROUTINE maintenance, not to mention repairs, Well I love my $59.00 Mobile 1 oil changes and free car washes at the local Lexus Dealership..

Great car, one very stupid solution

We purchased this car new in Jan 2015 and have put since then 41000 miles. It is a gorgeous car, very solid, reliable, excellent gas mileage (21 mpg average). One thing is jumping at me is the completely inept positioning of the tire pressure reset button: hidden somewhere under the dashboard, extremely difficult to find and reach, requiring to be kept depressed until light is blinking three times while you are crouched under the dash, assuming you were fortunate enough to reach it 🤬😤. It’s a shame Lexus could not find either a better location , or an electronic solution that even a Honda Civic has. Keep in mind you have to use it each time you are inflating the tires !

automatic window wiper rain sensors don't work,

Very fun to drive, but three problems: 1. Automatic window wiper rains sensor is supposed to wipe automatically during rain storms. It has never worked, no matter how hard it rains or how fast your are driving. The dealer does a test when the squirt water onto the sensor. After about 15-25 seconds, the wipers wipe once, but this never happens in real driving conditions, even when going fast in heavy rain. Dealer keeps testing it saying it passes test but in real life it doesn't work. What good is it if it doesn't work when we are driving in the rain? 2. the Battery is difficult to get to if you need to use jumper cables. 3. You have to take your eyes off the road to look down to operate the control pane/radiol with a joy stick. Like having to look down at a computer operated with a mouse while driving. No very safe.

My car is the best car I ever owned. I've had it since 2017. So far it has cost me under 1000.00 ( one thousand). Everywhere I go the car gets complements. After 10 years, I'm convinced that the car rides better with age. I paid 45000.00 (forty five thousands) and still can get over 30000.00(thirty thousands) for the car. On the highway, it really shows off. I can go on and on,but what I'm trying to say is the car takes GREAT care of it's owner. GET THIS MODEL AT ALL COST!!!
