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.

    Absolutely the best auto Ive ever owned. Suprisingly good gas mileage. Will replace with same or equivlant model but with sport suspension and navigation system.

  • Wow, what a car!!! - 2003 Lexus LS 430
    By -

    We have a LS400, and thought that was great, but nothing compares to the LS430, its the best car weve ever had. Not only does it ride well, but it has everything youd ever want in a luxury car.

  • An excellent car - 2003 Lexus LS 430
    By -

    A great deal of thought has gone into the design of this car. From interior design to collapsible side view mirrows, parking assist, comfortable ride, fuel conservation, eye appeal, an engineering marvel, this car is really, really great.

  • The Perfect Car - 2003 Lexus LS 430
    By -

    This car is great. Ive had no problems with it and I love it. Its 30000 dollars cheaper than the BMW 7 series and 40000 less than the Mercedes S class plus might I add its much more reliable and has no i-drive.

  • Our Third - 2003 Lexus LS 430
    By -

    This is the third Lexus we have purchased and could not be more pleased with the car. IT IS THE BEST YET! When we were looking for a new car back in the 90s I asked the manager of our parking fields, some cars valet parked, what car he would buy after having experience with every car on the market for 40 years he told me LEXUS. We took his advice and have never,never regreted it. Thanks LEXUS

    This car is amazing since the first time i sat in the driver seat i have been in love wit hit. Driving is so nice but the rear seat luxury group is tempting me to sit in the rear more than i already do.

  • New LS 430 - 2003 Lexus LS 430
    By -

    Traded from 2001 GS 430 and this car is the most comfortable and quietest I have ever owned. We have a 2002 MB S500 and there is no comparison especially on a road trip. The S500 is so poor ergonomically and the seats are so uncomfortable that I feel sure we will be rid of it fairly soon. It also spends way too much time in the shop compared to a Lexus. It is a better looking car---but who cares?

  • Buy again.. after 200k more mile - 2003 Lexus LS 430
    By -

    The only thing this car needs is 4 wheel drive. Otherwise, this car has everything you could possibly want. This is my second Lexus (LS 400). I bought both used. This one I bought for 22k and 60,000 miles. It will easily last to 200k and only go into shop for routine maintance.

  • Lexus - a dependable automobile - 2003 Lexus LS 430
    By -

    The Lexus LS430 is a very dependable and economical vehicle to operate. Although not as eye pleasing as my former Lexus LS 400, the ride is much more exciting and more similar to the Mercedes. I have owned and operated this vehicle approximately 1.5 years without any problems. My only complaint is the LS400 doesnt look that different from the Toyota Avalon which is less than half the price.
