There is a gear that you can put it in that is just like a race car.
Overall the car has been super reliable. It is fast, comfortable and great. It is midsize which I like. The only thing is the back seat is kind of small. The other thing is when something goes wrong it is quite expensive to have it fixed. I still love car and would highly recommend Lexus to anyone.

The 2011 Lexus ls 460 also self parks.
The performance of the Lexus ls 460 is outstanding. Driving around sharp curves is easy, very smooth ride, lots of space inside as well. It is like having a luxury and sports car all in one. Currently I have the 2011 model. I would absolutely love to upgrade and get a newer model.

Lexus leaves owners, drivers and passengers loving their ride!
Lexus is extremely comfortable. Much of the time it feels like you are gliding. Very reliable, but the comfortability is unsurpassed. Heated seats, steering wheel, camera features, amount of legroom, and aerodynamics are just a few of the marvelous characteristics of Lexus.

Worth the money easy maintenance would buy again.
Love the heated seats sunroof very reliable never had any issues with it very cheap maintenance lots of power very easy cruise control good gas mileage does not heat up even on long trips or in the summer heat have had it for almost ten years and would still be able to easily resell it if I ever needed to because it has stayed in such good condition.

The 2011 Lexus LS460 SWB: Most luxurious car that won't break down.
Not a single reliability issue over the 4 years I have owned it. I have only changed the oil and tires and added coolant (as it was low when I bought it). It is supremely comfortable as a full size luxury sedan should be, and it has all the technology you would expect in a model that was refreshed in 2010(?) including navigation, heated and cooled seats, etc. The performance is ok compared to it's German counterparts but it has more than enough power to get you anywhere you need to go in comfort and style.

It is a luxury car that is worth every penny you spend on it.
It is very reliable. It has a very comfortable ride and has minimal road noise. The space for both front seat passengers and back seat is exceptional. I do not like the radio/navigation system interface.

Solid transportation, nothing exciting.
Comfortable, fuel efficient. Terrible GPS, does not provide best or quickest routes. Decent storage in hatchback.

The best feature is the heated seats. It last pretty long.
Sometimes the iPod /aux feature does not work. The word 'Error' will pop up on the screen. That is the only problem I have experienced. That may be due to the year of the car and wear. Other than that it is a very reliable car and drives smooth. It is terrible on gas too I forgot to mention because it takes premium gas only.
