  Sophistication - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By Zoomer - July 9 - 7:26 pm

  After trading in my Jaguar S 4.3, this car is a pleasure. Scheduled service and XM radio install were the only service visits. Treated like royalty in the service and sales departments. The ride is unmatched. The drivers seat has a crazy number a possible adjustments including "depth" for taller or shorter than average drivers. Lexus has thought of everything.

  25000 and rolling - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By KEITH HARTMAN - June 20 - 2:30 am

  The best car Ive ever owned, so good that mentioning a few nit-picks seems out of place. Still, the front door are too long for easy opening in a parking lot. The nav. system was very hard to me to learn. The voice-operated controls are not useful and I keep hitting the "on" button for them with my left knee. But -- the mileage average over 25 in my rural medical practice, the sound system works flawlessly, guests in the backseat keep raving about their experience.

  A Superb Vehicle - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By mel - January 19 - 2:36 am

  First class dealership selling a first class car. The ride and comfort are incomparable; all the bells and whistles that anyone could want. The only negative would be that it is not supposed to do well in snow- so, have another vehicle ready for thoise infrequent days!

  2005 LS 430 Excellence number 7 - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By Don Taylor - August 20 - 2:43 pm

  I have owned seven Lexus LS model cars. Each one has been better than the previous model. I have owned many other brands of automobiles in my life and none have been as totally satisfying as the Lexus. Nothing ever goes wrong with these cars. My latest LS 430 gets 21/22 mpg in all around driving and 26/28 mpg on highway trips.

  Still one of the worlds best cars. - 2006 Lexus LS 430
  By excelsior1 - June 25 - 6:10 pm

  When the LS first appeared on the scene, it was so good that it scared Mercedes into over designing their cars resulting in reliability issues and the loss of the stately image that was their hallmark. Now the Lexus LS has become the standard bearer for those who want a solid, stately, reliable luxury car. The LS 430 executes this mission flawlessly, It rides beautifully, refreshing the driver with every trip. It handles any road surface well. The build quality and reliability are world class. Controls are simple and driver friendly. The Mercedes W126(1979-1991) had many similar traits for its time. I still own a Mercedes 1986 420 SEL and the Lexus LS 430 is its natural successor.

  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.
