I guess I like the center moving air vents a lot.

Since I have a 91 with no fancy do dads that a 430 has I'll have to say the cluster too. My 91 cluster looks better than most new cars. Surprizingly, new clusters are still very similar to the original design....just more info.

Simply put, my favourite feature is - The Engine. It sounds like the ripping of a delicate silk scarf when you stomp on the accelerator, she immediately downshifts and revs. MAGIC!!!!

So hard to choose! But i have one nobody has mentioned so far.... i LOVE the tilting and telescoping steering wheel, goes anywhere you want! Makes for MUCH more comfortable driving. In other cars i cant ever seem to manage to get the steering/seat combo how i like it.

This was one of the car killers. With the seat adjusted, sometimes to get the pedals right, the steering wheel was to close or too far. With this level of adjustment, the next check is the seat comfort. Haven't been in a Toyota yet that doesn't fit but the Lexus line just seals the deal on great seats. As far as our behinds like.

the telescoping steering wheel still (my car is a 94) gets a lot of attention whenever i get in and out of the car.
The gauges get lots of attention too. Now that they only work sometime, ppl immediately ask where my gauges are... and when they do the light dance when it starts to warm up they think its some kind of special mod like it flashing to the music... then when its finally on it looks really nice! but then ppl ask if i have enough fuel cuz its always PAST empty

I'm gonna elaborate a bit on this!!!..... Personally, I think the 98-00 LS 400 is the absolute best ever made, period. IMO, the engine is smoother and more silent, especially at lower speeds when accelerating, than the 2001-2003 LS 430 I've recently test driven several times. The ride is also a notch smoother/absorbant over potholes and sharp impacts (and I'm talking with the standard coil spring suspension versus the ultra's air susp!!! ....however, this may have a bit to do with the Michelin Energys my car is wearing versus the Dunlops the LS 430s were wearing - FYI, weird as it may seem, the 16" wheel-equipped LS 430 with the steel suspension rode smoother -virtually identical to my LS- than the 17"-wheel-equipped ULTRA). I also don't get the same NECK-SNAPPING instantaneous throttle response from the LS 430, that I get off-the-line with my LS 400, which makes the 430 feel a little sluggish off the line (unless you floor it) ......after researching, I read that they've implemented a little "delay" in there to make power delivery a bit smoother, but I personally don't like the feel of it.
.....so it looks like I will be taking my LS to my grave with me ....Unless the 2004+ models with the six-speed auto feel different (I will be test driving these in a few days)
