This Year's Model Updates:

Lexus' flagship was completely redesigned last year. The only addition for 2002 is a new Platinum Blue Metallic exterior paint.

Pros:
  • Superb ride quality, impressive array of standard and optional luxury features, top-notch interior materials.
Cons:
  • Not quite as athletic as its competitors, adding options raises the price to un-Lexus-like levels.

  • From ES to LS - 2002 Lexus LS 430
    By -

    After owning an ES 300, my next natural move was to an LS 430. I cannot imagine owning anything else but a Lexus.

  • A Smooth, Exciting Advanced Automobile - 2002 Lexus LS 430
    By -

    After owning two luxury automobiles, a Mercedes and a Jaguar, it was difficult for me to believe that I could ever own anything as exceptional. However, based on my research, the reviews and testimony of friends and collegues; I decided, for my next purchase, to consider the Lexus LS 430. This car has exceeded my expectations in its performance and handling and smoothness, and the technology is absolutely amazing. It is unbelievable and in a class by it self. If there is anything more outstanding than the Lexus LS 430, I would not even want to know because I am sure I could not afford it.

  • Great Car, But Can I Have My Caddie Back - 2002 Lexus LS 430
    By -

    The car is amazing. Ive got 2000 miles on it now and there have been NO issues; perfect in every way. If you like gadgets and electonics, this is the car for you. And even better, everything works as it should. And did I say quiet? Oh, and perhaps I forgot to mention that the ride is like skating on smooth ice, yet sporty enough to get off the dime quickly and take a tight turn on command? Styling is nice, but not distinctive. My 94 Fleetwood had a distinctive style that stands out in the crowd. The Lexus looks like any other import. The LS430 is an outstanding car. But will my next car be a Lexus? The jury is still out...I still think about my Caddie.

  • Lexus Persuit of Perfection. - 2002 Lexus LS 430
    By -

    Ive owned this car for 3 years and have about 54,000 miles on it. One thing that continues to impress me is the integrity of this car. It is as solid and quiet as the day I first got it. I have not had one service issue in three years, (Lexus did ask me to bring it in so they could re-program the navigation system and upgrade it to their existing service level, they gave me a full tank of gas and sent me a check for $50.00 for my trouble). The fit & finish are the best I have ever seen. The ergomomics are outstanding, every control & feature make sense and is easy to use. This might not be a perfect car but it is the closest thing I have run across.

  • What a Car!!! - 2002 Lexus LS 430

    Great fun. Cant believe the cars gadgets and wonderful ride.

  • Awesome Luxury Car - 2002 Lexus LS 430
    By -

    I total love my Lexus 430! I have only had the car a month but it is hands down the best car I have ever owned. Just sold an Infiniti M45 haited the car. I have owned Mercedes and Cadillac but Lexus is hands down the best for the money. The Ultra Luxury package is awesome!!! You would pay 15K more on a Benz with the same equipment. I also got the Lexus warranty for 7 years and 100K! How can you go wrong! If you are looking for the best ride you have ever experienced for a reasonable price please look into the LS430. You cant go wrong!!!!!!!!!

  • QUALITY & SMOOTHNESS TO THE 10TH POWER - 2002 Lexus LS 430
    By -

    Ive owned my LS430 since April 04 and during this time Ive continually thanked myself for selecting this particular vehicle. Its clear to me that the Lexus (Toyota) manufactures spent a great deal of time focusing on quality in this model. I must applaud their attempt. The have DONE IT!!!
