This Year's Model Updates:

For 2003, 17-inch wheels are standard, replacing the 16-inchers. The climate control front seats and park-assist feature, formerly included only with the Ultra Luxury or Custom Luxury packages, are now available as stand-alone options. Finally, base cars ordered with the climate control front seats now feature perforated leather trim throughout.

Pros:
  • Superb ride quality, impressive array of standard and optional luxury features, top-notch interior materials, Lexus reliability.
Cons:
  • Not quite as athletic as its competitors, adding options raises the price to un-Lexuslike levels.

  • Its the Best - 2003 Lexus LS 430

    The quietest running car I have ever driven. It may be the best car I have ever owned.

  • BEST car I ever owned as long as regular maintance - 2003 Lexus LS 430
    By -

    Had many cars over last 30 years. This is by far most comfortable and reliable car. There was only 1 owner, older lady before me and she religiously took the car to Lexus for oil changes, timing belt and other regular maint. scheduled. It drives like on the cloud and it is super quiet on a good road. It flies over the potholes and uneven roads. Over last 2 years the car continues to drive like new, and keep in mind this is 2003 (almost 14 years old) Lots of new cars still dont have half of the technology what this car has. If you buy one make sure you see Carfax, so you know how it was maintained otherwise it might cost you a lot to fix stuff like benz or bmw. I will keep on driving till wheels fell off or this car might just out drive me. The engine in this cat is well know to go up to million miles plus if well taken care of. So the tranny and the rest. Love it. And milage is 18 city and 23 to 25 hwy. For V8 it is amazing!!! 320 torque and around 300 HP 0-60 6.5 sec Get one while you can, coz not many are around in good shape. After all 2001 was the 1st production year.

  • GREAT - 2003 Lexus LS 430

    This is my 4th Lexus (400/430) ..these are great cars, very reliable, excellent service, couldnt get any better. The only complaint would be on the on-line service which was sold to me and was misrepresented. I bought it, only to find, first it wasnt installed properly, secondly the price only was for 1 year and had to be renewed each year for a cost. I was never told that when I orginally purchased the service.

    Excellent auto in all features. Produced with care and user needs in mind. Dealerships are responsive and caring. Have rarely had any visits to the dealer other than for routine service. This automobile would be hard to beat in any price range. Am completely satisfied
