Overview & Reviews
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.
- Superb ride quality, impressive array of standard and optional luxury features, top-notch interior materials, Lexus reliability.
- Not quite as athletic as its competitors, adding options raises the price to un-Lexuslike levels.

By Big-O - January 13 - 10:00 amGreat Car, extremly reliable,Have owned other but......surprised when I got 28mpg on highway & get 21-23 in city. Super soft & quiet ride. Cant say enough good things about it. "Its just a Car" ...But what a car. More Power than my old Muscle cars of the 70s. Ive "drug" a couple of 5.0 mustangs to name a few...hee hee.

A Great Driver - 2003 Lexus LS 430
By H. Neiderhoffer - January 13 - 10:00 amThis is my 3rd LS Lexus...and the best. It is a great road car, quiet with excellent comfort, quick, with a great GPS that is user friendly...our other car is a MB CLK430 Cabrio that has had continuous mostly minor problems..but lacks the build quality of the Lexus.

Th Best Car Ive Ever Purchased! - 2003 Lexus LS 430
By Robert J. Landi - January 13 - 10:00 amI bought the Lexus LS 400 in 1991 and it lasted over 180,000 miles with no major, or minor problems. I purchased the LS 430 when it came out and it is better than the LS 400. The ride is worth every penny and I know this car will go 250,000 miles easiely if I dont "tire" of the design. For my money, I wont buy any other car but Lexus!

Poor brake design - 2003 Lexus LS 430
By Bud Hudson - January 13 - 10:00 amThe only complaint abaout this car is the very poor brake design of the front brakes. The pads needed to be replaced and the disc turned, the dealer informed me that this will need to be done again after each 20K. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE FOR THIS CAR.

Never satisfied - 2003 Lexus LS 430
By never happy - January 8 - 12:20 amBought well maintained LS430 with 66,000 miles 9/2009. Smooth, powerful responsive engine and transmission with good control via transmission alternative choices. Nice style, good mileage for size and power. Nice suspension, glad I did not choose harder Euro suspension. Steering too light, too much power assist for my taste.Excellent climate control ( no NAV) layout and function. Standard sound OK but nothing great. Seats look nice but lack lateral and thigh support. Passenger seat too short. NO SECONDARY SUN VISOR? Are you kidding Lexus? Gas pedal and brake too far to left, getting foot in middle of brake takes odd motion. Nice car but wish I had looked more at MB and DTS.
