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?

FIrst Lexus
Had two Infiniti Q-45 V-8 cars which were really fun to drive, especially the second sport model. Lexus LS much quieter with easier steering, not as sporty, but more comfortable. Lots of new electronics, especially huge view screen. Ventilated front seats wonderful in desert weather. Very firm lumbar support which is a bit low for my back, despite height adjustment. Have never found a comfortable German car except Mercedes S-class, which rode like a Chevrolet and was severely underpowered. Don't understand the previous review. This is the nicest car I've ever owned! Considered the F sport model, but almost all have black seats, not the best in 110 degree summers. A few mechanical problems with side mirrors, driver's seat memory(occasional). It took 4 years before a major problem: alternator went bad.

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.

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.
