  A masterpiece - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By L Dean - May 24 - 1:46 pm

  Riding and driving the LS 430 is like riding on a cloud powered by a jet! It is the most maintenance free vehicle I have ever owned.

  Headlights - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By Barbara - February 22 - 2:00 am

  I find the headlights dangerous. They cast a shadow and it is difficult to see the road when the road is unlit. The dealership says they cannot be adjusted. Im very disappointed that such an expensive car could have such a bad defect.

  2006 LS 430. - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By Leonard A. Meyer - February 13 - 4:20 pm

  This is my fourth LS 430. They have all been the best cars I have ever owned. Prior tot he Lexus I drove Mercedes for twelve years and the difference is amazing. There has never been a better auomobile than the LS 430 in my opinion. I bought the 2006 because I had seen pictures of the 2007 and didnt like the styling as much.

  Excellence & Suggestions - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By Lexus LS 430 - September 20 - 9:26 pm

  The 2006 Lexus LS 430 has absolutely superb performance in a wide variety of driving situations. Recently, we drove to the top of Mt. Washington, NH. Going up the performance was excellent and even better coming down with the manual gear changes to meet the percent down-grade. Our trip of 2,400 miles averaged 28.2 MPG which is better than the manufacturer lists. This included the mountain driving in New England. Handling and sharp curves were sure and comfortable even in this non-sport’s car. The automatic climate control required only occasional single degree temperature adjustments from 80 degrees to 39 degrees at the top of Mt. Washington.

  Best of all the Rest - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By val - September 15 - 12:53 am

  Ive not been a Lexus buyer in the past but when I gave up all the rest including the Mercedes I owned that challenges Lexus but doesnt perform as well no matter they hype, I found this to be my perfect car. Im hoping it doesnt last too long and hold my interest too long where I wont buy another new car for enjoying this one too much. And, the pre collision radar system is worth every dollar for safety making this Lexus the best of all.

  Love that car - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By jay - April 5 - 2:50 pm

  Love driving it, love the way it handles and the way it rides. The only two bad things about it is that the gas mileage is about 16 mpg all over and the voice recognition system does not work that well.

  LS 430 - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By Jeff Centers - March 27 - 4:43 am

  I just traded an S55 AMG in for this Lexus. There are many pros and cons to this car but it could definitely use more horsepower, more high speed capabilities, and features geared to the driver and front passenger rather than just to the rear passengers. Really how many of us have a chauffeur. I do enjoy driving the car but admit I was a bit spoiled by my German auto performance and its being geared to make driving fun for the driver.

  Very nice car - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By Pedro - February 21 - 11:23 pm

  Vehicle was a mfg buyback w/15K miles, ultra luxury package, supposedly had no start issues but under warranty. Paid 31K & just extended my warranty thru 8/75K so Im covered for awhile. Absolutely love this car, best I can figure previous owner didnt drive it much & left the Smart key either in or near the car and the batteries would die. Havent had any issues in my first year except had the front windshield R&Rd due to noise at 80mph against a headwind. Will be replacing original tires soon w/odometer at just over 25K. Just a beautiful ride, happy with everything except driver seat bottom comfort - its just not very comfortable on a long drive, needs more cushion and support.

  luxury tank - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By TJ Sexton - March 5 - 4:55 am

  Built like a tank to last holds all the amenities of a true luxury sedan. Had this since day 1 brand new purchased from dealer for $65k, still running like a champ to this day. Hands down best luxury and reliability for ever penny I ever spent.

  Not Quite A Mercedes. - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By Allan - September 25 - 11:50 am

  After careful consideration between another Mercedes S-Class, an Infiniti Q45, and the LS 430, I chose Lexus. Never having owned one, and with all the hype about the brands quality and service record, I found it to be the best choice. I was very pleased with my initial period of ownership. The performance was great for the MPG I averaged around town (compared to my 03 S500). The trade-off in power didnt disappoint. The cost of maintenance was also dramatically lower than the Benz. The vehicle has been mechanically sound so far and I credit that to Toyotas years of powertrain technology innovations. The only part that is lacking on this car is, in my opinion, a sub-par interior build quality.
