Overview & Reviews

After last year's major refresh, Lexus chose to keep changes simple this year. The lone change is to the optional 18-inch alloy wheels, which are now available as a stand-alone extra.

• Superb ride quality, impressive array of standard and optional luxury features, premium interior materials, Lexus reliability, top-notch dealer service.

• Not as athletic as some competitors, adding options raises the price to unLexus-like levels.

  My first lexus - 2005 Lexus LS 430
  By wesley callaway - December 16 - 5:46 am

  I purchased the Lexus Ultra. This model has all the creature comforts available. All the extra gizmos take a engineer to figure out how to operate.

  Great, but still room for improvement - 2005 Lexus LS 430
  By nickm52 - December 11 - 3:13 am

  Great car overall. Executive comfort package makes ride enjoyable for all passengers. The car performance-wise is good and It beats out my previously owned benzs and bmws in all of the categories except for handling and exterior design.

  LS 430 - 2005 Lexus LS 430
  By A Fry - October 25 - 1:00 pm

  The LS 430 is pleasure to drive. I recently completed a 10 hour trip in the LS and I was ready to turn around and make the return trip. I was not tired or uncomfortable at anytime during the trip. The radar cruise control is easy to use takes all of the stress out of the drive. The seating is very comforable and roomy. All of the systems, such as the navigation, satilite radio/audio and the ventilation system are easy to use. The air suspension and braking system is flawless.

  A great car - 2005 Lexus LS 430
  By ruth mcc - October 5 - 5:33 am

  This car doesnt only run perfect, it seems to glide. this is the 2nd LS430 that i have bought new, the only problem I have found you just cant go back to driving any other car. you are hooked. The gas milage isnt great but 28 mpg on the hiway isnt bad for a car of this size.

  I love the way my Lexus rides. I always enjoy taking a drive even if its just down the street. I would strongly recommend it to anyone who can afford it.

  My 2005 LS 430 - 2005 Lexus LS 430
  By Charles H. Hasper - September 1 - 10:20 am

  This is a comfortable luxury sedan that performs and handles like a sports car. I have had the other premium sedans, keep testing and know that I wouldnt be satisfied with another make. And its safe. Was hit head-on and survived well. NOTHING ever goes wrong with this car!

  Outstanding value - 2005 Lexus LS 430
  By mox1 - August 29 - 7:26 am

  I upgraded from RX 300 to the LS 430. To say that I am delighted with this car is an understatement. I cant wait to go to work every morning so that I can enjoy my hour long drive to work. With the rock solid reliability, the tremendous value for the money, the German rivals offer no competition. At 60K it is a bargain for all the features packed.

  Mcs LS 430 - 2005 Lexus LS 430
  By Latrece - July 20 - 8:56 pm

  The most powerful, well equipped luxury vehicle in any class. Our LS is equipped with the sports suspension. The power when I accelerate is unreal. The soft leather heated and cooling seats are the ultimate. It handles like a charm on the road. It is so comfortable that when driving I feel like I will fall asleep. The 18 inch tires grip the road. It makes you feel like you are flying on land. When riding as a passenger, I feel like I am flying in first class on a 757.

  My first Lex - 2005 Lexus LS 430
  By GhostRyder06 - June 18 - 4:53 pm

  When needing a new car with enough room for a tall family of (4), I did my research with the Lexus LS 430 and the BMW 745. As you can see, the Lexus LS 430 was my decision. I must say, what an excellent choice! For me to sit in the back seats and have room enough to close the doors and be comfortable was a must. Plus the reliability factor was a no brainer. Comfortable, quiet eye catcher! Not a car to reach 60 miles in 5.6 secs. Thats what the Lexus GS is for. This is a grown mans car. I took her for her 60k maintenance yesterday and it was a hefty bill. But I know it was well worth the money. My mind is made up to get another once the wheels have fallen off this one.

  LS 430 after one month - 2005 Lexus LS 430
  By Raymond Kearns - June 5 - 4:43 pm

  Seats are incredibly comfortable. Acceleration very good. Gas mileage around 20mpg. Extremely quiet. Ventilated seats overrated. Some features a bit complex. Best car Ive ever driven. Test drove the MB500S and like the Lexus and its features/engineering/price much better.
