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.

1970's full sized American car ride in this Lexus!

This car is amazing. I bought it 9-2018 with 9,000 miles at an incredible price and love it. Still have my old Tahoe (no issues at 152,000 miles) and bought this car for business trips. The 2017 LS460 is gorgeous, smooth riding, and certainly has enough get up and go for me. Whoever designed this car tried and was successful at getting it to look and feel like a 1960's-70's full size American car. The ride and feel reminds me of the old Ford LTD or Chevy Caprice but way more luxurious (and that's a good thing for me). I've never owned a car that exceeded the manufacturer's claim on fuel economy both in the city and on the interstate. The only issue with this car is that cruise control must be used on the highway to avoid far exceeding the speed limit!

Smooth like silk....

This car is just plain perfect. It has the ride of a cruise ship on a lake. You don't feel anything, you don't hear any outside noise, nothing. You can't even tell that it's running at idle. The seats are butter soft, large and plush. The stereo is fabulous, the rear seats are fantastic. The level of fit and finish is just so far ahead of the pack that it's not even a race. I just came off of a Jaguar XJL and although it was a classy ride it was always in the shop. Buy this car and see what perfection feels like.....

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.

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."
