Unbelievable quality, put in Sport Mode for drivin
An LS 460 in enjoyable to own, and not like paying child support to a German luxury car. Want a better driving experience? Simply put the car into Sport Mode which changes shift points and firms the ride. With Michlin Pilots on the wheels, the sportiness is enhanced as well. These cars don’t break due to their unbelievable build quality. They are handsome cars with a ton of tech. The Base model alone is sufficient. In 45k miles, one brake job, one set of tires and oil changes. Nothing else. Previously had a 2008 ES 350 which was same experience. Loved a previous BMW 740i but it needed a short block replacement on the engine. A prior Mercedes E class wagon developed a suspension clunk which couldn’t be fixed. So, love the build quality of Lexus. Only downside is relying on rearview camera as turning around and seeing out the low slung rear window is difficult. Driving experience oh a highway is totally solid Sport Mode, Regular Mode or Eco Mode. Love this car and will continue to do so.

Great to own, not the best for driving experience
You could get more car and technology for your money from Germans, but great reliability, good service from most Lexus dealers and pleasant ride swayed me to purchase 2nd LS460. That's continued 8 years of LS after previously owned S-class. I consider MB better vehicle though. Even A8 is more of a driver's car. Most dislikes in LS model: driver's seat brothering my right thigh, lack of handsfree trunk opening, no heads-up display. Likes: overall driving is "pampering" and comfortable for driver and passengers with pleasant interior, reliable, old school large displacement engine and well balanced rear drive feel.

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!!
Eye-catching Luxury Vehicle
Show-room clean, ceramic coated. This vehicle is the ideal automobile as a company car or for a family looking for a luxury vehicle. Seats five adults with ease and comfort, especially the extra rear -passenger leg room. The Mark Levinson sound system makes driving enjoyable and the smoothness of the ride makes it comfortable. You'll be drawn to drive it. Lexus is "the pursuit of perfection."

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.
