2003 Lexus LS 430 - I love my car! Great highway car!
This car is awesome!

It got me around during a flood. The car never flooded or stalled. I was located in Fort Pierce at the time. I forgot what hurricane it was, but the lights were off for a week. We even slept in the car for A/C and to be comfortable. I had just had my newborn three weeks before. Were miserable in the house with no air or lights.

It got me around during a flood. The car never flooded or stalled. I was located in Fort Pierce at the time. I forgot what hurricane it was, but the lights were off for a week. We even slept in the car for A/C and to be comfortable. I had just had my newborn three weeks before. Were miserable in the house with no air or lights. I thought for sure we would not get through the water to go look for hotels. By the grace of God, we made it through. It took us all day, but we found a hotel. Then there was another time we got stuck in soft dirt, and I knew for sure we was not going to get out. It may have taken me an hour, but we got out without a truck. This car has gotten me through so times. I can ride around all day and not disturb my kids in the back seat at all. I traveled for three hours one time and only burnt a quarter of gas. I mean it was a totally smooth ride the whole time.
I really loved that this is not a gas drinker on the highway. It rides really Smooth. You can barely hear the outside contents in the car. I love that I barely have to have work on this car but when I do it is costly. I just had to get an used transmission and it rides like new again. I love the gray color because you can barely tell when it is dirty. I love how you can feel the power in the car. I also love the heated and cool seats. I love the vents on the floors. I love the rear seats have heated seats also. I love that the middle ac vents rotate and you can adjust the temperature on ei... (more)

I love the rear seats have heated seats also. I love that the middle ac vents rotate and you can adjust the temperature on either side of the front vents. I also love that you can adjust the seats just right. The rear view mirrors rotates down automatically towards the road. This car is awesome! This car is the luxury of luxury.
I hate how riding around town and it drinks up gas! I just hate that it's so expensive to fix. It seems like it's the perfect car for a while, and then, boom, when it needs fixed, it is expensive! I hate how the sun cracks the seats. I hate how the vents in the seats get clogged and air barely populates through. Then when this happens during the summer the seats are scorching hot. Then it's hard to get in the cracks and openings to fully and completely clean the insides. If you have light colored insides, then you can forget keeping it clean. The vents on the floor in the back gets dirty, ... (more)

The vents on the floor in the back gets dirty, and you can't clean them. Any little issue with the car is a big issue in pockets. Tires are kind of expensive. If one sensor is off in the car (as little as the gas cap), then your check engine light will stay on. Once your anti-brake lock system goes out, then you should be scared to drive while roads are wet. Then you could be driving and hear beeping noises you never heard before.
2001 Lexus LS 430 - OMG
There's no car out there to match Lexus quality, performance. Luxury or dependability (IMO). There is - literally - nothing about the LS series to not like. Surrounded in luxurious leather comfort and elegant walnut wood accents, touch-screen CD/GPS, plenty of power, maneuverability, uber dependability, and it's just downright gorgeous. Mine is black. I only have 185,000 miles on it, and other than some minor ($2500) problem with the rack & pinion steering (a problem it had when I bought it used in 2009), I've spent nothing else on it - other than routine maintenance and 2 flats in seven years. The air conditioner is solid and as cold as the day I bought it, and the Nakamichi sound system is glorious - especially at night with the moon roof open. I still totally love my Lexus!

I bought a Celtic Women CD, and drove up to a red light one balmy night with "Orinoco Flow" blarring out of the moon roof, and I to look over to the car beside mine, and this woman was laughing and giving me a "thumbs up" sign.

I bought it as my "town car," just to use for the few errands I now make in town during the week. I wanted power - it accelerates like a rocket - comfort, luxury, a sound-system to die for, and a very cold air, and I got all those things, in spades. I like that it can run on regular, if necessary. If I pull into a pump that's out of premium, I can put a tank of regular in it without much anxiety. It's hard to name one feature that's my favorite. I do love the many options for the steering wheel/seats/mirrors, the over-the-top appointments and attention to everything, the sound system, but ... (more)

Nothing! I'm sure it will - one day - but, do far, that day has never come.
There is really and truly nothing negative about my Lexus...maybe I'm lucky. The ONLY thing that's happened that was a little troublesome was I discovered (the hard way) that they can not sit for two weeks without being driven. I was in the hospital, and it sat undriven for that length of time, and the battery was dead as a doornail. These cars (I was told) have electronics running even when they're idle, and need to be driven regularly to keep the battery from being run down. Lesson learned.
