  Best there is! - 2001 Lexus LS 430

  Amazing. Currently have almost 130k on car. Owned for 3 years with no issues whatsoever. Great for trips. Get 25-30mpg on hwy. City is 14-18mpg. Wish I could have splurged for the 05-06 with the newer styling. Would def do it all over again.

  Excellent car. I have had Lincolns, Cadilacs, Jags & their is no comparison. All Lexus dealerships I have dealt with for service have been more than excellent.

  Excellent road car. Handles exceptional for its size. Great acceleration. Im not happy with the braking, however, this may be a problem with my particular car. 27 MPG on the highway is great.

  Absolutely superlative - 2001 Lexus LS 430
  By PeteL - July 24 - 10:00 am

  The LS430 Ultra proves that its possible to conceive, design, and manufacture an automobile of such profound excellence and deep quality that it changes how you look at the concept of the car. It makes all the other cars seem irredeemably crude and tacky. Its so good in every respect that it simply cannot be appreciated without living with it and touring in it. How Lexus endowed a single automobile with all of everything is beyond me. This car is simply the highest quality manufactured artifact I have ever examined.

  Great auto, but without sport mode, rolles on mt. roads. Throttle response not quick enough.

  Flawless reliability, after 5 years and 95000 miles not one repair issue. My only visit to the dealer was to have the Nav system re-programmed due to a satellite change (they sent me $50 for my trouble). It is still as solid and tight as the day I bought it, still not a hint of wind noise.

  The LS430 has the best electronic wonder I have ever had. The voice activated, touch screen GPS is wonderful and the Mark Levinson stereo amazing. The car, however, is truely boring to drive and cannot corner worth a darn.

  A regal ride - 2001 Lexus LS 430
  By Pat Davis - November 16 - 10:00 am

  Quality, quiet and comfort ooze from every pore of the LS 430. Lots of room, easy to maneuver, plenty of power in a luxury setting. My "best ever" vehicle.

  Our experience over 7.5 years - 2001 Lexus LS 430
  By bob - August 7 - 6:33 am

  We have never had a mechanical problem with this car since the day we purchased it. We did have to replace the stereo amp, but in 7.5 years we felt we couldnt complain. Great car, great dealership.

  Its perfect, what did you think..... - 2001 Lexus LS 430
  By MikeC - March 5 - 10:00 am

  Ive had it 18 months & I feel like I still have a new car that i just love.. Only car I have ever had I felt that way about after that length of time... Expensive but worth EVERY penny... I always said when Lexus made a car this big I would give it a try. Can not even imagine driving anything else.....
