LS Enjoyment!

The LS is my kids favorite. They love the back seat and can stretch out. Coming home late from parties always put them to sleep as its so quiet and smooth. They also love it when I drop them off at school as a lot of other kids approach them and ask about the car too. Easy to pick up soccer moms if I was single
This is the first car I haven't stripped down and layed Dynomat sound deadening material to solidify and quiet the car down, though after a long road trip this weekend riding on aftermarket 20's, I may lay some down around the rear wheel humps in the car to quiet it down further.

I have been driving my Nissan truck 300,000 mi for 20 years , I have gone through Audi A4 ko4 turbo slammed on rims , 2 Drift cars S14,S13 , KA, Sr20Det , Elcamino 400 block , ford crown victoria.etc..
What the heck was i thinking.. The LS glides on air, has nice v8 power and handles nice with the sport package and DF210 springs. I should of bought this car a long time ago. I could of owned 3 with the money i spent on the rest.
Its in a class of its own.

I'm thrilled with my LS430. I drove it 1900 miles from LA to Canada in 3 days in Feb. through desert, mountains, snow, prairie, everything. I was comfortable as can be and loved the passing power. My GF slept like a baby in the front seat.
I also paid an amount that people in my area might pay for a Mazda 3 or Civic so the value has me beaming . Lexus really got things right. The car is the epitome of refinement and luxury to say it shortly.
I always knew I wanted one and I'm glad I avoided distractor cars when I was shopping. For me it wasn't an "I guess I'll go with this one this time" it was more of a "Finally the one I wanted forever". I still glance at store windows to watch the body shape roll by. The headlamps and grill are beautiful.
I drive it every chance I get, my friends and family nominate me to drive every time because they love the comfort and it stays washed and detailed as often as I have the time. Just peachy

I too love my LS. Best car I have ever owned. Not that my LS is lous by any stretch but is there anything I can do to eliminate some of the road noise I am experiencing? I believe it has to do with the crappy San Antonio roads. The heat takes a toll on them so they are kind of rough. Not like the New Jersey Turnpike we drove when I was a child.

Make sure your tire pressure is not above what is printed on the door sill. You may also want to check your tires' age, type, and speed rating. Newer, softer tires with a lower speed rating tend to run quieter.

I have taken two road trips in my LS and they were the most comfy drives ever on the raod for me! Driving back in forth to work (64 miles round trip) made sitting in traffic a non issue, very quiet, relaxing and smooth. Man I miss my car, these rentals are killing me! You guys don't take your LS for granted b/c it is amazing all the little things that Lexus took care of, you notice how big there are when driving something else.

It's funny, I have such a sensitive butt that even the LS430 seems just a bit rough sometimes. But then I get back into another car and it feels like a rickshaw, so it helps me re-calibrate.
The LS really is incredible.
