2006 Lexus LS 430 consumer reviews

2006 Lexus LS430 is as silent as a medieval chapel, and the electronics permit such clever features as a parking-assist system, which uses ultrasonic proximity sensors to warn of impending bumper banging, and the Dynamic Laser Cruise Control, which automatically slows the LS430 if it gets too close to the car ahead. These are just some of the LS430’s myriad standard or optional goodies. In addition to the usual luxury-car stuff, it comes with a water-repellent windshield, a power rear-window shade, and enough wood trim to build a canoe. Options include voice command features, a navigation system, a killer sound system, and voice activated hands free phone connection. If these aren’t enough, the Ultra Luxury option package also tosses in a variable air-suspension system, adjustable and heated rear seats with memory settings and massager option. There is also a car refrigerator in back seats and enough bells and whistles to start a marching band. Airbags surround passengers from front, rear, sides, knees to ensure the safety in an unfortunate event. I would skip going through the list of features that never seems to end, but if you are still curious, it includes: ABS Brakes First Aid Kit Power Trunk Lid Self-closing doors Air Conditioning Power Moon-roof Power Windows Alloy Wheels 6-Disk CD Changer, Audio Cassette, Radio Front Power Lumbar Support Rear Window Defogger Automatic Headlights Front Power Memory Seat with 3 memory settings Separate Driver-Front Passenger Climate Controls Front, Side and knee Airbags Side Head Curtain Airbag Full Size Spare Tire Steering Wheel Mounted Controls Heated Exterior (side) Mirrors Tachometer High Intensity Discharge Headlights Telescopic Steering Column with memory setting Child Safety Door Locks Interval Wipers Tilt Steering Cruise Control Keyless Entry Keyless starting Leather Seats Traction Control Driver Airbag Leather Steering Wheel Trip Computer Driver Multi-Adjustable Power Seat Passenger Airbags Trunk Anti-Trap Device Electrochromic Rearview Mirror Passenger Multi-Adjustable Power Seat Vehicle Anti-Theft Vehicle Stability Control System Electronic Brake Assistance Power Door Locks Automatic door and trunk closing

I bought my 2006 LX430 from a close friend a year ago to replace a leased vehicle that I just turned in. My friend owned the LS since new and preformed all required factory maintenance at the Lexus dealership he purchased it from. He also replaced the battery and timing belt at the 12 year mark, the car had 50k miles at the time, I purchased it with 50,400 miles. I only drove it 7k miles in the first year I've owned it, now it's my full time car. I have owned many cars, including BMW, Mercedes. Jaguar, Lincoln etc. The LS is very smooth, very quiet and very comfortable. The technology was ahead of it time, the bluetooth works well with my Samsung S10 plus with no problems at all! The cars engine is so smooth that I often look at the tachometer when stopped at a light to see if its running. The interior is beautiful, very comfortable and all the switches seem to be in the right places. This car was very well thought out. The exterior is almost flawless with excellent paint, not as sporty as its competitors but I can live with that. It handels great for such a large heavy car. I just switched to snow tires for the winter as I live in the Chicago area, I have 2 friends that have the same car and followed their lead and it does preform well in the snow now. Gas mileage in the city is around 16, on the highway I've seen ip to 28, I average around 20. I think I may be one of the best cars I've owned, I can't emphasize how quiet and smooth it drives, I love the car, mine is dark grey with black interior, beautiful combo. I highly recommend this fine automobile. Find one with good service records and a clean carfax and grab it fast. You know they say when you park your car and walk away, if you look back once or twice and smile its an keeper.....its true!

This car is a luxury tank. It has a lot of bells and whistles and is very comfortable to drive. Non highway gas mileage is not good. With the high gas prices a fill up is about $100. Other than that it is a trouble free cruiser.

The car is very comfortable and I sometimes get 400 Miles to the full tank. Most people who get in the car with me tell me they have never been in a car so quiet.

at 140,000 miles The Ride is Smooth but Taut, The Interior is Soft, the Fabulous Luxurious Leather Seats are SOOO Comfortable, the engine is Powerful (for its Time), and the Wood Trim is Gorgeous. I have owned it for going on 14 years and it has NEVER broken down...I have kept the service up-to-date, replaced the battery every 3 years, the brake pads twice, and and that is it!

This car has been with me since 2006 (almost 13 years) and is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. This is the second Lexus LS that I have owned over the past 23 years and both cars have exceeded my expectations both mechanically and cosmetically. I will probably buy a third one.

I have owned many brands of cars, but see no reason why any subsequent purchase will be any vehicle other than a Lexus. It exhibits superior performance, comfort, and value.

This car Perfect blend of style, comfort, and unparalleled reliability! The LS430 is one of Lexus? crown jewels, and its easy to see why its a Lexus fan favorite!

Excellent car love the body style love the it drives the car was well maintained the price of the car was reasonable and fair just a great car

I drove this car for 18 months and I regret selling it but need the money right now. Best car I have ever owned. Lots of cool features.
