  Bullet Proof - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By Henry - June 13 - 10:42 pm

  This is the best car ever. Nothing to repair and it was 11 years old when I bought it. Timing belt, a couple of sets of tires, oil change, cabin filters and windsheild wippers and thats it. My goal is to put another 80000 miles on it.

  An improvement over the 2004 model - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By tricky73 - March 6 - 8:00 pm

  This is my second LS430; the first was a 2004 model. I tried the ES 330 instead but missed the amenities of the LS and went back. The most striking difference relates to the improved documentation that comes with the 06. The 04 and 05 ES seems primitive by comparison. One can now actually find information and the description of how to do things now seems to be quite accurate. My only complaint is the reluctance to integrate a satellite radio completely. Leaving the placement to the judgement of the dealer does a disservice to the appearance of the vehicle if not done properly.

  Best car for the money - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By Mike - March 4 - 1:36 am

  Im in the finance business so I drive a lot. This is my 4th Lexus in 12 years all LSs. I went to test drive the MBZ S-Class, the 750 BMWs and the Infiniti M45 and I still come back for the best ride for the money. Reliability is a major factor in my decision plus Im not a techno guy. Always looking for a solid ride and this car delivers. It helps that it has beautifull spacious cabin. Another 50 to 60hp will help against the Germans. Im in my early forties I do feel the car styling a bit old fashioned. I know that the 2007 model new looks will help attract a younger crowd. Will trade up for new model can wait.

  Why buy German! - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By Big Mike - January 9 - 11:23 am

  Sedan driver all of my life and this is by far the best I have owned. My Mercedes did not stack up against this vehicle and Cadillac is way behind. Not the fastest vehicle in this class but plenty fast enough to get your pulse going and very easy to modify for speed.

  Dream car - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By Satisfied - December 8 - 9:06 pm

  This car is the best vehicle I have ever experienced. Other than standard maintenance, I have had NOTHING go wrong. Service trips have been an ease with no appts, etc. This car beats my Mercedes on all factors - power, style, comfort, efficiency, SERVICE, fun!!

  Love my Lexus - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By R Victor Wood - October 24 - 12:16 pm

  This is one of the top luxury cars in the world. I am elated! Before this I owned Mercedes automobiles. The Lexus is easily 15% better than the comparable Mercedes in comfort, quietness and reliability. Victor Wood

  This car is a dream to drive! - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By The Big Dog - August 24 - 5:50 am

  I have had many cars in my life and this car is one of the best cars I have ever owned. It is very comparable, but drives like the BMW 745. I raced one of the BMW 745s the other day and we never left each other. So for those out there who think Lexus is only an old persons car, you are mistaken. I am 32 years old and have four other cars including the BMW M6. And the Lexus is still one of my favorite cars to drive!

  Brooks review - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By Stephen Brooks - June 24 - 2:10 pm

  Very impressive handling. The LS 430 surprised me with its ability to accelerate, handle curves, and gas mileage on the road. Very spacious interior, with beautiful leather seats and wood grain interior. Beautiful car.
