Took the LS460 on its first road trip
Thought I'd share. Just got back from a family trip to the beach, first road trip for the LS.
We have 5 month old twins and were traveling with my mother as well. No, we did not all fit in the LS lol. We found that without a rack and a carrier for the top of our Kia Sedona minivan we could not fit 3 adults and two infants in the van with all of our stuff, so we actually took both cars.
Added bonus, I got to drive alone in the LS while my wife and mother drove in the van with the screaming babies. Daddy win LOL
The LS ran great, incredibly comfortable and quiet...I kept having to slow down forgetting they were following me in the van. Air conditioning works great, cooled seats work great (although not as great as in that Sedona). A highway trip is where the LS really excels over the GS I had previously. Not a real long trip, 150 miles each way.
Very happy with the car. When we got there I got out and stretched, very relaxed. My poor mother spent most of the trip turned around in the front seat of the van trying to calm the twins down LOL
Only issue was leaving it parked outside all week. I actually ordered a custom sunshade and had it shipped to the hotel since we decided to take both cars so suddenly lol, arrived the day we got there. We had a HUGE storm yesterday (got home today), horrible wind, torrential rain and hail. LS was fine though...suffice it to say I wasn't a happy camper.

The LS 460 is so smooth and comfortable. I made 800 miles road trip to Atlanta and I enjoyed every mile of the trip. The LS 460 is remarkable and I hope more road trips are in your plans.

Great story. I actually believe the ride is so smooth it makes the journey so much better. Our 1100 mile round trip to Chicago back in April was incredibly nice.

There was also a guy at the dealer the same day purchasing a corvette and intended to drive back 24 hours to Boise, Idaho. I can't imagine how that was.

Congrats on your new car and I wish you good luck with it. Sorry to hear the amp went out on you already. I hope you can get it the seller to make some accommodation.
