This is my forth Lexus LS vehicle and they are by far the finest cars I have ever owned. My wife had a Mercedes E 350 and it was a piece of junk compared to the Lexus LS 430 I had at the time. The Merc ran ok, but the six was underpowered. The Lexus cars get better gas mileage, have better seating and far better build quality. Parts for the Merc were outrageous. The Lexus' don't break, so I've little to compare them to on parts cost. The Current LS 460 is quiet, as expected, fit and finish is great, the technology works as described and the interior appointments are what I expect for a high end luxury cruiser. again, the 2016 LS 460 is the finest car I have ever owned and I'm certain that it will last as long as the LS 430 that it replaced. The LS 430 had 150,000 miles on the clock with only one warranty visit during its long life.

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.

Owned three MB E 350 class cars that were good cars. I then traded in my 2015 RX-350 AWD, which was also a very nice car, for the 2016 LS 460. By any means, the LS 460 was the nicest car I have ever owned. The quiet comfort, quality, amenities and performance are superb. This car compares favorably to the MB S Class at about $25000.00 less, and is a lot more dependable. Low speed acceleration is acceptable, but high speed acceleration above 70mph is superb. Gas mileage however is poor, depending on the way you drive. Steering feel is better than any Mercedes, and body lean is also better. The infotainment system in the Mercedes was easier to use, but after some getting used to it, the mouse control in the Lexus becomes more user friendly. The voice command works quite well, and the Lexus Enform Apps are great. After owning the car for over two years and 22000 miles later, the car is still great, and my ratings would still be the same as the day I purchased the car. The Lexus Enform Apps however have deteriorated to the point of being useless.

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.

Excellent car and would buy a white 2017 LS460 with low mileage, if I could find one. I did buy a 2018 LS500, but traded it back in for the 2016, once I realized how dangerous and unsafe the 2018 was to drive, without the cruise control lever and a terrible infotainment center. I've owned many excellent Lexus LS models, which I can highly recommend, all before the 2018 LS500. Unless future LS Lexus models return to some the conveniences and safe operating systems they always had before 2018, they definitely will lose me as a customer.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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..

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 !

It looks good; drives great and doesn’t give you any trouble. I’ve owned a Mercedes S-class, BMW 7-Series, and Audi A8. Great cars but the LS has been the best and the least headache. My 2015 has close to 150k and it drives like it has 20k on it. Nothing to do but oil/filter service. Basically just gas and drive and enjoy.

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.

Loved my 1998, thought upgrading to get new technology would be an improvement. But so many things have been disappointing. The navigation system is a disaster with the remote mouse. BMW/Mercedes/Audi iDrive like are much easier to use. Forget about voice control. Doesn't work. Keyless entry sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Impossible to debug because it is intermittent. Have the F Sport, where the front seats are very uncomfortable -- back is too narrow unless you're a very small person. Both BMW and Mercedes have adjustments. Lexus doesn't. Also so many features that the german cars have and Lexus doesn't in this flagship car- massage front seats, contour seats, self parking, surround cameras.

Overall this is a quality car for the money.Interior leather for front seats is second rate. The leather cracks after repeated and expected use.The info unit requires an interface that is too time consuming.The upscale wheels easily fill with brake dust looking dirty most of the time. Dependability has been excellent.

What happened to going in and buying a car and not spending several hours doing it. Now they have all these additional things they want to see you....extended warranty, interior protection, exterior protection. In my opinion, when these things are pushed in front of you to buy, it makes me think the product is not as good as it is advertised or they wouldn't have to sell all of these protectants.

This is my 3rd LS460, 7th Lexus overall. Horrible control panel, terrible gas mileage compared to my two previous LS 2WD. This one gets at best 23mpg on highway, my other two got 28+mpg. Other than these two items, great car

Lexus LS460 should not be ranked as "next to last" in class to be fair: it should rank last. As other reviewer noted, technology is totally hit or miss (usually it doesn't work--bluetooth connection with phone, navigation, voice commands, etc). Visibility quite poor for anyone over 6'. Uncomfortable seats. Dealer and manufacturer support non existent. This is not the Lexus of old.

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!!!

I've had 4 Lexus LS460 over the years and have never had any problems. Have ridden in many other brand cars that friends drive and I find the Lexus to be the most comfortable and quiet. Definitely one of the best cars on the planet and they hold their value. I don't put a lot of miles on my cars so usually I can resell for a great price.

Too Noisy/Prone to Sudden Stalling Hazard

Got a new LS460 AWD 2016 in 01/2016. Currently it has 43K miles. The interior has become very noisy & I was not able to hear even the radio. Whisper Wuiet!!! What a joke? The car began to stall while driving at low speeds & I gave the benefit of doubt to Lexus blaming my new shoes. But the stalling was noticeable & pronounced when I took a right turn to a steep hill road I was forced to press the accelerator with all my strength to move the car forward. It slowly crawled to the top of the hill. I thought it could slide backwards causing major accident. Very Scary. Lexus sees interior noise level is normal by manual hearing & refused to use decibel measurement meter. Very tricky mechanics. Lexus ran computer diagnostic tests & it found no problem. Vehicle is sitting in my driveway & I am using my pickup. I am scared to take legal U-turn on HWY as I could become a sitting duck. I am a Lexus Kamakazi driver.
