5 THINGS I HATE ABOUT THE LEXUS LS460/LS600: what to watch out for and what to know before you buy! 

To summarize his opinions: 1. Leather is cheap and peals/sticky over time. 2. Front vent fan controls do not have buttons. 3. Expensive oil changes with 9.5 quarts of oil 4. Spark plugs are hard to get to. 5. Many expensive control arms with complicated suspension.

Love my 07 LS460L with the executive package. Took advantage of the interior recall and received all new panels. Had the brake actuator, all control arms and front struts replaced in 10 years of driving. I've driven my LS460L 150,000 miles and it still rides like its floating on clouds.

The leather dash was not the issue, it was the dashboard with the soft touch synthetic materials would become tacky. You have the leather dash option which was not recalled. I have the same car. Also, the steering wheel issue is something different. that is simply the leather coating and any upholsterer can redo the leather dye and coating

Great video thanks bro

It’s not the control arms that go bad. It just the rubber bushings inside them that do. How Lexus screwed that up, i have no idea. Perhaps it was the same issue as with their sticky dashboards.

LOVE my ls600. Battery still good at 225k. The dr. prius guys have a lithium ion battery swap that's half the weight and double the capacity.Not hoping it goes out anytime soon, but when it does... good video

Yea I have the 460 and I love it too they are sleepers

FYI the LS460 2010 like mine has AWD or RWD available.and my interior drivers seat and driver door armrest are damaged. Great Video!

I have a 2016 ls 600hl that I bought used. It had 100k kms on it, but the hybrid battery failed and I had to get it replaced. I live in the middle east so it could be the higher heat that caused this. Other than that and a couple of control arm changes due to worn rubber (it was not that bad but I got it replaced) , the car is doing great and in showroom condition. Really love this car... Performance, comfort, audio system, the AC system all are top notch. Question.... Where's the hybrid fan filter on this car? I still haven't been able to figure this out. The dealership says that unlike the ES hybrid there is no separate hybrid fan filter for the LS. Is this true? I know that one of the main reasons for hybrid battery failure is clogged fan filter.. Hence the concern. Would appreciate your advise. There is no videos on RU-vid on ls600 hl hybrid system maintenance.

I believe your interior is in good condition, because the hybrid version is real leather for the dash and door panels instead of the melting plastic.

thanks

I mean Yes Lexus are Expensive to be repair but sometimes when you do it yourself your saving money

Okay the A/C complaint is kinda silly. Using the automatic feature is the best feature anyway that’s the whole point of it but whatever I guess to each it own.

I did the same had bushing pressed out pressed in lasted only few months broke again. The design is just horrible you need to get the 2013-2017 control arms to avoid the problem u can use those on thr 2007-2012s

Your oil changes in price depends on your mechanic shop,I own a 2007 Lexus 460 L with the exec package,my car use 9 quarts of oil for the change with the filter and I pay 75 dollars so I’m getting a good deal compared to others

The price for oil changes is not really related to the car. It just take 9.5 quarts of oil then you add filter and labor reasonable charge.

I just bought a 2010 ls460. Thanks for info. How can we update our display system

Is it to late to recall my 08 Ls460L for new interior? I purchased it at 70,000 miles .Now it has about 94,000 miles.

Part 2 of my comment ….. I’m a big guy so I want the L body if I get a 460, but i love the sun shades in the 600 and hate the middle console in the middle of the back seat in the 600,,, has its good and bad points ..

I love my 08 LS460

Mate how does it drive and fuel economy I really want to buy one

I have a 2015 LS 600hL and what I did not like was there was not front camera - I installed one (see link) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xfHSbnxC1fQ.html and I bought a extended warranty 5 years or 70K whichever comes first. Other than that the car is perfect and very rare.

Major service in uk in Lex cost £588

Ls460 has awd i have 09 ls460 some of the stuffis nit picking. Its still a more reliable vehiclethan almost anything out there

That *missing fan button* would *_really_* grate after a while. Heck---that would drive me nuts right away. It's one of those things that you need to access every time you use the car, and if it's only accessible from the _'climate control only'_ screen, then you can't be using any other function on the screen at the same time---another big design flaw in a lot of cars with touch screens. (It would have been so much trouble to put the fan control as a little icon at the bottom of *_every_* other screen??)

you bought a 5.0 liter car, and you are mad because of the oil volume changing it ? xD you are a silly guy. this is a luxury car with luxury features, of course it's harder to maintain than a 4 cylinder Suzuki Swift. If I want to say 5 things what I dislike: - interior buttons are like in a toyota (should be high gloss wood) - trunk space it limited because of the batteries (both are in the rear, which is pain in the ass!) - highbeam-headlights are not strong enough for my taste - suspension system in high mode is rough for no reason and feels unsecure - only suited for lower speeds - A-pillar has a wind noise at higher speed that must be modified with an aero plate as an add-on later on I already changed big & small batteries - but both are suited for 10 more years. It is worth the cost. Love this car, I could write 100 positive things about my LS600h which says a lot.

I have Is300h 2015 and i think to „downgrade” for Ls460 2007 what do u guys think? Should I or should i go with Ls460 2014?

Dude what sunglasses are tbose?

Wait until you have to fix that air suspension. Good luck to that.

Air suspension, boost it.

I watch this to look for serious problems! This guy is too petty. Nothing major

Any puts with a camera.........

Fan blowing across the microphone and you still posted it anyway? Bad video.
