2003 Lexus LS 430 Review
"Larger wheels and some features revisions are the 2003 changes to Lexus's flagship sedan as it awaits a 2004 freshening. The LS 430 comes with a 4.3-liter V8, 5-speed automatic transmission, antiskid/traction-control system, antilock 4-wheel disc brakes, head-protecting curtain side airbags, leather/wood interior trim, and 17-inch wheels vs. previous 16s. A firmer Euro-Tuned suspension is a no-charge option, and all-season tires are now available in place of performance treads, new for this model. An available Custom Luxury Package includes a navigation system, heated rear seats, and ""smart"" cruise control designed to maintain a set following distance. An available Ultra Luxury group bundles these items with rear climate and audio controls, massaging rear seats, self-adjusting air suspension, and Lexus Link service--basically OnStar assistance with separate Lexus-only operators. Both luxury packages require optional upgraded leather upholstery. They also include heated/cooled front seats and front/rear-obstacle detection, both of which are now available as separate options. The '04 LS is slated to get a 6-speed automatic transmission, revised front and rear styling, and additional luxury and safety features."
