My 10,000 mile service took 3-1/2 hours at the dealership. At 12,300 Miles, I returned to the dealership - the transmission is whiny and there is an issue with the brakes making a clicking noise when you use them. Dealership told me all LS460s will have whining in the transmission....seriously? And the brake actuator had failed. This is a $75,000 car with 2 issues before 15,000 Miles. Dealer told me all the LS460 vehicles sound the same...but the car we took for a test drive didn’t sound like this. Now at 17,000 miles - just had to have the navigation system (which includes the radio) totally replaced. This is a $6,000 System and was covered by the warranty - but why did it need to be replaced? The navigation screen kept going blank when I would be driving the car. Was first told there was nothing wrong with it - then after leaving the dealership, received a call that it would be replaced. I have also some “cracking” of the metal trim on the rear of the car. Looks like wrinkles are forming in the metal. No idea what is causing this! I now have 38,000 miles on the car. The navigation system is shutting down again. Taking it to the dealer again. Also the leather on the armrest has a small crack that looks like a tear. I was told this happens on all Lexus vehicles (my husband also has a Lexus and his armrest is full of cracks - but his car is 16 years old so I would expect that), not on a 3 year old car.

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.

The ride is silky smooth.. It is like going into soundproof room....I owned GS-350 2013 prior which was fantastic,,but this is couple rings above that car.. Both cars I had the F-sport..I like the more sporty look and feel of the F-sport..Better trunk than the Gs-350 and 460 has motorized trunk opener...The trunk is not motorized in the GS-350 and most of them are broken and you must use a stick to keep up..Dealer told me not to fix it will just break again..Car is fast for being 4500 pounds..Got 26.5 mpg driving to San Francisco..Not fancy looking but best ride I have ever experienced ....Does not break like BMW or Mercedes......

Awesome vehicle, very comfortable and moves good if you know how to drive it. Passengers fall in love with this car and the body shape is very classy. Again if you really know how to drive a car, this is one you can't pass up for comfort and style.
