Concerning the muted audio portions: KZread's Copyright claims in 2020 have gotten much stricter since this video was uploaded in 2018, and they forced me to either mute those sections where there was background music or have this video blocked entirely. It wasn't an issue for the first two years of this video's life, but you've probably noticed a lot more ads lately too, right? 😡😤 Feel free to play Kenny G's "Songbird" in the background when enjoying the silent bits. Thanks for the views and continued support 👍

'i wish more people appreciated them but most people where i live rather buy a crossover of various brands or drive around in bmw, audis or volvos...

Toyotas, which before went over 500,000 miles are no longer as reliable since they are made with a CVT transmission. Watch Scotty Kilmer’s video (a long time Toyota lover) who tells the story of how Toyota couldn’t get over the embarassement of recalling 3 million Toyotas for faulty transmissions. So they still did the recall, in what was the most massive of Toyota’s lies for the decade. Since they didn’t call it a recall for the Corollas and lied about the reason. Just stay away from CVT transmissions!!!!! And you’ll be fine

My 2005 was totaled at 220,000 miles, and my insurance company gave me $8900 to buy another one. "Quite torquey" is an understatement. They haul ass.

Funny thing I never did ride in the back seat much - it was the best seat in the car!

    David: Thanks for explaining the muted parts. I just replaced my speakers and was thinking they are junk. I own a 2002 LS430. I bought it two years ago for $5500 bucks. it has 110K miles. The car rides and feels like the inside of a commercial jet. Very quiet and smooth. So far only minor issues. PO115. The battery should always be full charge. If not, the dreaded red triangle may come on. It has happened and the car was bucking and jumping around until I drove the piss out of it on I-95 here in south Florida. The light went off on it's own. The timing belt was changed at 108K miles according to the dealer who had all of the service records. Thankfully, the guy took real good care of the car.

    Terrific review. Wonderful. These cars are absolutely amazing. The one thing to remember is that because it's the larger V8 it's far more expensive to repair when things go wrong. Far more expensive parts compared to the V-6 line which is pretty much shared across Lexus and Toyota. Personally I would love an LS 430 from the last two years of production. If it had low low miles! Then I could drive it until I'm into my retirement.

    People sleep on those early LS400/430s but they’re amazing testaments to Toyota’s work ethic.

    That's when Toyata was at their peak. After 2006 the new LS, GS, ES weren't as impressive.
