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.

    Car is excellent..perhaps the best in the world

  • Never a problem - 2003 Lexus LS 430

    This my fourth Lexus of this series. The first was a 1992 model. I have never had a reason, other than normal maintenance such as oil change, to have any of them put into a repair shop. Lexus continues to make improvements each year. My 2003 is the best yet.

    Have had top of line lexus since 1990. Can not believe the change, over time, in this model. The 1990 was great, the 1997 better than great, the 2000, better than that one, but the 2003 takes the cake. I wonder how this automobile can get any better.

  • Excellent Car-All Mistakes Are Minor - 2003 Lexus LS 430

    This is a great car! It is a must-buy! There are a few minor details (mistakes) though. Its ability to turn isnt as good as the other Lexus models and they kind of screwed up the exterior design. Luckily, the controls arent nearly as confusing as the Mercedes-Benz controls. Also, I have to say that this car is the most addictive car ever created. Once you get in, you wont want to get out. It is a very silent car with a great engine and a really good fuel economy. Look for exterior and engine improvements in the 2004 model.

    This is my 5th Lexus and they just keep getting better and better. Every time I buy a new one I think this is the best, and the next one goes up a notch.

    Great car. Excellent performance. Outstanding quality. Silent ride. With a little forethought (see suggestions below) they could have taken this car to a much higher level.

    The car is a great value. Overall very happy with vehicle and service support of Lexus dealerships. I cant wait for the 2006 new Lexus model.

    Outstanding experience. Went back to a Lexus after driving a BMW for last 5 years. Just as much fun driving the Lexus without the headaches of numerous trips to the service department to fix all the little things that break on BMWs.
