Ijust like the ride and comfort of the seating. also like the response from the car. And the almost no maintance. I have owned a Lexus for 15 yrs, and have driven other cars, incl the cadalic, and none of them gives the ride and the performance of the Lexus. Elwood Janes, Bowling Green, Ky

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus LS 430?
Would prefer a softer ride (with car equiped with 18" wheels/tires), Bumpers that are more damage resistant in minor scrapes, better fuel mileage.

2006 Lexus LS 430 Review:
Comfortable car, well designed interior, excellent features, solid construction. All needed features.Well finished on outside. Comprehensive user guide.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus LS 430?
None that I can think of, but I am sure they will think of some on the new design of the 2006 model.

2006 Lexus LS 430 Review:
I have owned seven Lexus LS model cars. Each one has been better than the previous model. I have owned many other brands of automobiles in my life and none have been as totally satisfying as the Lexus. Nothing ever goes wrong with these cars. My latest LS 430 gets 21/22 mpg in all around driving and 26/28 mpg on highway trips.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Lexus LS 430?
Comfortable seats, controls are easily accessible.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus LS 430?
It needs more voice commands, the navigation system needs more available features when the vehicle is in motion such as the Acura TL. Stereo needs 5.1 digital sound and needs a much better subwoofer. My 2001 Mercedes had a better factory stereo. Car is subject to road wandering at high speed.

2006 Lexus LS 430 Review:
I just traded an S55 AMG in for this Lexus. There are many pros and cons to this car but it could definitely use more horsepower, more high speed capabilities, and features geared to the driver and front passenger rather than just to the rear passengers. Really how many of us have a chauffeur. I do enjoy driving the car but admit I was a bit spoiled by my German auto performance and it's being geared to make driving fun for the driver.

Radar cruise control that slows to a stop when something is in front of you, car or otherwise. Upgraded Navagation system. Steering. Seperate heat/cool systems for each. Sound. Rear backup. Awesome interior. Lighting. ETC ETC Amazing paint that allows you to take a scratch out painlessly.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus LS 430?
None that I've yet to find.

2006 Lexus LS 430 Review:
I've not been a Lexus buyer in the past but when I gave up all the rest including the Mercedes I owned that challenges Lexus but doesn't perform as well no matter they hype, I found this to be my perfect car. I'm hoping it doesn't last too long and hold my interest too long where I won't buy another new car for enjoying this one too much. And, the pre collision radar system is worth every dollar for safety making this Lexus the best of all.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Lexus LS 430?
It is hard to pick just one with all the wonderful features. I would have to pick the rear camera. Invaluable when parked at an angle next to a SUV. You get a panaramic view of what your bumper sees.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus LS 430?
Offer different voices for the navagation/voice command system. She can get a little annoying at times.

2006 Lexus LS 430 Review:
After trading in my Jaguar S 4.3, this car is a pleasure. Scheduled service and XM radio install were the only service visits. Treated like royalty in the service and sales departments. The ride is unmatched. The drivers seat has a crazy number a possible adjustments including "depth" for taller or shorter than average drivers. Lexus has thought of everything.

I love everything about it. especially the navigational system and how simple it really is to use versus mercedes or bmw's version.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus LS 430?
I will like the car even more if it was a little more attractive looking. i recently saw the preview for the next generation Ls on show at the Tokyo auto show and it looks way sexy and pleasing to the eye.

2006 Lexus LS 430 Review:
What a great car. you only hear good things about this car but once you drive it, or in my case buy it you can't stop raving about how well built it really is.

2006 Lexus LS 430 Review:
This car is a legend in it's own time!! Soon to be replaced by mightier machines, but the LS 400 and LS 430 are symbols that will live forever. The last "corp" of LS 430s are to be endowed with BOSE suspension systems, making them more awesome than ever. What really amazed me about Lexus/Toyota is they believed they could do it, and they did!!! No whines about budget or working more than 40 hours a week - they worked and worked until they hit their target, then started on L-Finesse, a whole different ball game. But the LS 400 and LS 430 will live forever - they established the brand name and they put the "LEX" in Lexus. The greatest cars ever!!!!!

Switchable sound system controls very easy to work with, seats better than any I've sat in anywhere.

Clean-up nav system so my wife can operate it.

2006 Lexus LS 430 Review:
The best car I've ever owned, so good that mentioning a few nit-picks seems out of place. Still, the front door are too long for easy opening in a parking lot. The nav. system was very hard to me to learn. The voice-operated controls are not useful and I keep hitting the "on" button for them with my left knee. But -- the mileage average over 25 in my rural medical practice, the sound system works flawlessly, guests in the backseat keep raving about their experience.
