    Owner of 2007 LS460L here, 55k miles on it. I think I won't let myself to ever replace the car. After 4 years of ownership, only service it took was replacing the front control arms (Actually, the arms themselves were just fine, only the bushings were dead, but it was still easier to replace the whole thing with OEM arms). Air suspension like new, transmission smooth as it gets, 0-60 in 5,5s, electronics never failed (and jeez, how much electronics there is), ride is as smooth and refined as 2018 S-class and the Mark Levinson audio is one of the best audiosystems ever installed in a car. Besides an old-school interior (and now even exterior), this is still an ultimate car, true pinnacle of automotive industry. After 10 years!!!

    I've had 2 LS 460's. A short wheelbase traded in for a long wheel base. The long wheelbase is loaded with all power accessories including rear power seats, cool box between the seats, and power rear seat window shades. It is the best car I've ever had. Air suspension, in comfort mode, offers an exceptionally smooth ride. Have had absolutely no problems, keep if fully maintained, and have no desire to ever get rid of it as it is my dream car. I've owned almost 40 cars, being a car fanatic, and this car tops the list. Can't imagine anything better for the money considering the build quality, the comfort, and the power/economy factors. I've gotten as much as 31 mpg on the freeway with cruise control on. Can't say enough good, and can say nothing negative about this car.

They are Japanese and are built by the same company as Nissan, so to me it seems much safer to buy an Infiniti than anything German. I understand Lexus is at the top of the list though for best reliability and cost of ownership.

    @@dangerouscookie4790 I had to buy a brake actuator assembly for it right out the gate. With that said, don't let that scare you away from the car. If you're not an idiot who runs to the dealership to willingly get robbed, you can find brand new OEM parts like the dreaded brake actuator assembly for less than 1000 like I did, and a certified mechanic with the appropriate tools to do the work. Labor on the car isn't bad at all. My old 02 deville was more expensive to work on. The car is worth way more than I paid for and even put in. Mine is fully loaded. Parks itself and everything. Everything works. Its fast as hell, turns heads, comfortable, and makes this working class zero feel like an absolute baller. I love it. Its all I could ever ask for in a car. Strong and reliable engine and trans. It's a little heavy, but it gives it a solid and refined feeling that enhances the driving experience. That's not to say it drives like an absolute boat. It feels smaller than what it is. The turning circle is crazy. Easy to park and maneuver for such a big car. However you imagine this car being, its much better than that. If you get the chance to get one, do not hesitate. Easiest luxury car to live with in the world if you ask me.

    @@omarreynold6782 It is a dream machine. I'm very particular about my cars. Im a value for money guy. The LS460 is hands down the best value for money. The engine is an absolute tower of power. The transmission is very well engineered and for being the worlds first 8 speed transmission, it does a damn good job. Its so smooth, the driving experience is almost telepathic. Despite the steering being electric, you never feel disconnected from the driving experience. The ride is smooth without feeling floaty or boaty. It just does what you tell it in a way that makes you feel secure...like there's no situation in which it will fail you or make you think for a second that it isn't capable or unreliable. Best money I ever spent. If you don't have one, get it. The acceleration is shocking. It flies when you want it to. Its absolutely gorgeous even after all the years (mines a black on tan 08), and its a head turner. People will complement you on it. I've never had a car that makes me feel the way my Lexus does.

    I am a daily driver of 2017 LS460L and would like to share my two cents. LS460L is a lot roomier in the back seat than 430. I also enjoy the 35mpg highway fuel economy, but don’t buy one with adjustable back seat as it takes away way too much trunk volume, too small for two sets of golf clubs. 430 has the largest trunk space among all the LS models. Mine doesn’t have the optional Mark Levinson . The standard sound system is of average quality. The backseats are heated only, but in my area cooled backseats are much more practical. Good luck!

The dealer plugged it into the computer and said there is nothing wrong. He said the clicking noise is normal. I have no lights on the dash and the brakes seem fine except for the clicking.

    Thank you for posting! I have a 2017 LS460 SWB. I have been having issues I believe with the transmission but they are intermittent so I keep getting from the dealer ‘unable to duplicate’. The issue I have is when turning left and after sometimes the transmission holds in a low gear. It’s kind of weird. I think these cars have a gyro or something because I know when you touch the brake pedal going downhill it downshifts. Maybe something is going wrong with that system? Sometimes also while slow speed driving on hills it will clunk really hard too, I dunno where that is even coming from. It’s not throwing any codes. The other issue is clunking from the front end, my car has about 19,000 miles on it and when you touch the brake pedal at nearly any speed you get a clunk in the front end. I brought it in and the dealer reports it’s normal I’ve even scoped out some of the bushings and found them to look good. Then I have had the infotainment system completely quit being responsive on me, I have had to shut the car off to restart the system, I’ve had it reboot while giving me direction. Oh and the headliner around the sunroof is getting oddly lumpy and I dunno why, the dealer reports that is normal too. I also had a crazy whistle while driving and brought it to 2 dealers and had to get Lexus corporate involved to get it resolved, it turned out to be harmonics from the front brake pads and rotors, driving down the freeway it would sing really loud! I’m a little bit complaining because I went from BMW where everything breaks on their cars, but I found with BMW I never left with my problems not being fixed. With Lexus I’ve only once left with my problems getting fixed.

    The downshift going downhill is not a defect, it is a safety feature to prevent the car from speeding downhill causing you to use the brakes too much. Many cars have this feature.

    MB had regional reps to handle problems that dealers couldn' t solve. Lexus probably does, too. Call Lexus of North America to find out. Personally, I NEVER believe anything that dealer "service" tells me...NOTHING. I've owned an LS400 for 23 yrs.

    Transmissions have vents to equalize pressures, so contamination is possible. How long is "lifetime"? I think most people would change the fluid at 70K or so. Almost any vehicle "can go 500K" but the question is WILL my vehicle do it?
