  • BEST CAR EVER

    I’ve owned over 30 cars. From Mercedes to Honda etc. the Lexus ls460 has by far been the best car I’ve ever owned this car has never ever let me down or left me stuck anywhere EVER owned it since 2011 has 200k on it now. She doesn’t burn a drop of oil or leak anything at all. I’m also extremely hard on the car change the oil on time and keep up on the very low maintenance it needs and you’ll never be disappointed I highly recommend the Lexus ls460 to anyone who wants premium luxury without the insane maintenance costs. Well done Lexus.

  • My 2017 LS 460 Lexus

    This the third straight LS 460 Lexus I have purchased. It still continues to be the most reliable luxury car, with the smoothest ride, and the most elegant styling of any car I have ever owned.

  • Best riding and performance.

    The Lexus seems tome the best rated and best value on any car on the market. I have owned several and all have been beyond reproach. Truly a high quality automobile. Have a 2003 Rx300 which is my go to utility vehicle which has been flawless in performance and reliability. The LS 46O is great for long trips..nothing compares.

  • Best car I've owned

    My LS 460 Lexus is the fourth one I've owned since 2008, and it still delivers the same ( if not better) smooth ride as the first one. I've had no major mechanical problems, other than just routine maintenance. It's an excellent vehicle, and I'm a Lexus customer for life.

  • Comfy Luxurious Ride with plenty power

    Bought this car cos I needed more room to fit my long legs and my growing family. Wanted something I could keep a long time too and this car fits the bill. It's classy looking, rides like a dream and the Mark Levinson sound system is AMAZING. It feels like a bank vault. Bought it used, and after 60k miles, there's not a sweetie or take to be heard.

  • Best Drive train in the industry

    This car drives like it's on a cloud but takes the curves nimbly at high speeds. Suspension system is unsurpassed. Fuel economy for such a heavy powerful car is great, over 20 miles per gallon highway.

  • Smooth and Quiet

    Excellent car. Smooth ride even with 19s. Levinson system sound is crisp. It’s very comfortable, although with the seat, I took a while to find the best fit. Handles well for a big car, engine has effortless power and the mileage is good for a V - 8. I’m genuinely pleased and highly recommend it.
