- ( www.TFLcar.com ) The new and redesigned 2013 Lexus LS460 is the flagship for the Lexus car luxury brand. The 2013 Lexus LS460 is elegant, luxurious, fast and of course expensive. It is also finely crafted to represent the very best of what a Lexus vehicle can and should be. In this fun and informative TFLcar review we put the top of the line Lexus to the test to see not only how fast it can go from 0-60 MPH, but also how well it stacks up against the German competition. So does the 2013 Lexus LS460 have what it takes to be one of the best luxury cars in the world. Watch this video review to find out.
The Lexus LS is the finest car in the world.
I love mine! :)
airtouch01 i wouldn't say that but it's definitely amazing
Yes, it is the most reliable mass produced large luxury car, others are just more expensive!
The LS is a road trip king with no headaches.
True. It'll stay on the road forever if you don't feel like buying a new car anytime. And it will do so while spoiling you with comfort.
If you haven't driven a LS , then you won't understand why people go crazy over it.
overpiced toyota
Huy Thai I don't think fantomg can afford one hahaha.
I can imagine the LS to be nice because I have driven the ES. ES has less problems than the M. Benz E350
Have had mine for about 3 months now and its a beautiful car power and beauty and saying it's an overpriced Toyota! You're a fool and have no idea what ur talking about. Do some research cause you're far off.
There’s just such a refined feeling, from the sound of the engine to the way it handles, so elegant.
I hate when people don't understand the true meaning of luxury now days everything has to be sporty and fast you can't simply enjoy a "luxury" car without bmw etc throwing a 600hp engine under the hood when it's supposed to be a cruiser not a speed demon
One of the most comfortable cars i have ever driven
This V8 is a gem. It sounds fantastic!
Roman doesn't know the true meaning of "luxury" majority of the people that admire luxury cars buy Lexus because they don't care about how fast 0-60 can get on the highway they love the comfortable smooth 4.7 V8! BMWs may be fun to drive but all it stands for is Bring My Wallet because when those cars break down it literally breaks the bank. Lexus designs there engines to be most reliable to last a lifetime. I am.a proud owner of 2013 Lexus 460L best sedan i have ever driven so far.
BMW = Bring my wallet 😂😂😂
german cars are only expensive to fix in usa in europe german is the cheapest to fix this lexus is just so boring
Roman, is a bias Toyota reviewer. For car reviewer Roman has is too bias against Japanese cars. If you look at consumer report, Lexus second to none. Roman don't know cars.
How's that LS treating you??
I never understand why these reviewers think everyone buys a car to race. It's ridiculous. Most buy cars to have a comfortable driving experience during their daily commute without having to worry about breakdowns on the way. A lot of these reviewers do not speak on behalf of the everyday citizen.
Love this car - it's on my list. Lease it? This is a luxury car you BUY because it's going to still be reliable 10 years later.
Buy it off lease for a better deal.
A 10-year-old Lexus is worth the same amount as a five-year-old BMW!!
My parents have a 2007 460L with 158k and it's still a solid luxury car. Makes my G37x feel like a civic. I drove it for 11hrs from Key West to Andalusia, AL. I felt like a million bucks after 11hrs!!
this car is a no brainer. best sedan in the world hands down, deisgn,reliability,quality,power i would get the LS460L version its bigger way more legroom
Roman is a complete idiot! He completely misses the point of this car. It isn't supposed to be for boy-racer wannabees like him. That's what Mustangs or Chargers or M5s are for. In actuality, it's all about one word...refinement. This is not to be mistaken with the word boring. A Honda Accord is boring because it has a complete lack of personality and could basically be considered an appliance. On the other hand, the LS is not boring as it instills a feeling of excitement in people like myself who appreciate the extremely high level of performance, luxury, and reliability exuded by the car. Quite frankly, I would challenge anyone to find a full-size luxury sedan that is more well-rounded than the LS. In my view, none of the competitors, such as the Equus, 7-Series, S550, or A8, even come close. Sure, some of them are superior in specific areas like price and handling, but the fact remains that the LS excels in virtually every important area, especially reliability, whereas the others do not.
I don't understand how someone who reviews cars for their job can call this car boring. Either they don't know what they are talking about or they are German car zealots.
Since they can't find anything negative with this car, they decide to call it boring.
Who want's to buy a boring car ? Nobody. Basically they are trying to destroy this car's image and bring it down.
the infiniti q80 will be better than this car
Pet A File you're funny
I haven't driven an LS460, but I sat in a brand new 2014 the other day and I was so impressed with the interior. It was hands-down THE best smelling car I've ever sat in. Looking forward to a test drive.
6 years later... just bought one, that smell!!! Your absolutely right lol
I literally had both cars, and I like Lexus 460 way better. Period.
Demographically speaking the typical LS Lexus buyer is almost 60 and makes around 400 some grand a year. They're probably relatively close to the typical S class buyer. These are just not cars meant to be exciting overall but as a 2 time LS owner who's about to turn 40 years old I can say that it is the single most reliable car I've ever owned or driven and once you figure out its quirks it becomes a great daily. I drive a 2011 Sport with 3 mode air suspension and Brembo brakes. The transmission is the super quick Direct Shift from IS F. The rev matching downshift is flawless and always puts you in the powerband. The upshifts with the paddles are faster than the vaunted ZF 8 speed. The brakes are huge and it stops from 60 in a little over 100 feet. It's simple to keep it right at peak power. And all the while you have the killer ML sound. For 80k.
I'm a 31 year "young" guy and all I want is a comfortable and quiet ride, room, good sound system, and something that presents a positive professional statement. Tested one today and it is by far the best car I have driven out of about 10 different "comfort cars" out there. I am waiting for them to get one in with the Mark Levinson sound system and then I'll be set.
Fast is nice, super unique styling is great, but they aren't nearly as practical for the long term. I'll wait until I can afford to have a second car for fun to get something geared towards the "younger" crowd. I've switched between cars too much and really need to stick to something that has what I really want and need MOST of the time and will be practical long into the future. Then get something later when and if I can that gives me the things I want SOME of the time, like a convertible, something fast and furious, or something flashy.
I feel you, my last car was a subaru wrx, now a gs350. I'm 27 btw.
The big Lexus is 100 percent comfortable, 100 percent luxurious, 100 percent reliable and 100 percent not my cup of tea. I think that's pretty straightforward.
Realy like this design so much better than the new 2019. Big and classy.
I am a 28 year old female and I can’t wait to upgrade my gs350 to an LS460! Safe, reliable, and beautifully built.
Good luck miss
My plan exactly gs350s are also amazing and by far one of the best cars I own
I'm torn between the 2. I'd like to know your thoughts please, if you did end up upgrading. Thanks in advance.
@@BrightsonDavid im 23 and i own a 2013 awd mostly base model and its been fantastic so far. it has less than 80k on it so it runs great. its not a sport car by anymeans and it is a very heavy sedan. however, once inside you forget about all that because it is so quiet and comfortable, 0-60 for sure leaves something to be desired but its much faster in the top end. it handles speed better than any other car I have driven, you cant really tell the difference between going 60 and 80.
I'm only 18, and I'd love to drive an LS! This car is simply amazing! I agree with Nathan all the way, the car is awesome!
roman said he wants an exciting car like what the Germans make. you won't be excited when you're at the shop paying thousands for an unreliable piece of crap. I've been drivings Toyota's/Lexus since I got my license, won't buy anything else because they never let me down. I remember when my dad bought a new 2006 BMW 525i, that thing was crap
fuck bmw, mercedes and audi first you pay the super high cost of buying it tops over 100k and then your left with bills after bills of maintenance and repairs after a couple of years.
THE LEXUS LS IS LUXURY WITH RELIABILITY. WHICH IS WHAT LEXUS AND ALL OTHER ASIAN AUTOMAKERS IS ALL ABOUT.
From afar, especially in that color, it does look boring, but when you see it on the road, and see its true size, your jaw drops as soon as you realize what it is. It is glorious. Especially in black.
Lexus LS460 with conventional coil springs is smoother and quieter on the road than my S550 with airmatic suspension. Both cars are great. Just depends on what you are looking for in a luxury car.
Benz n bmw is a pos when hits 100k miles mark. Yeah its good when new.
You should drive a Lexus LS460 L with air suspension, even better!
Last week I test drove a LS4600 2008 model. Such impressive car. They have features that most current cars do not have. It hits 100mph without me realising it. The interior is superb. The ride is super smooth. Take it above 200mph and it sails along like nothing.
there's a video here on yt of a guy going like 180 in a stock 08 LS460. I love the shit out of this car, but the soft limiter sucks
This is definitely my dream car just because of its smooth and quiet drive
Yup- I am 35 and am wanting one so bad. Went from sport bikes, Ducatis and now this- I want comfort in a serious way and this is it!
Eric DeJesus I'm only 22 and want a 2010. I have a Yamaha r6.. I'm an Uber driver and my Accord cost 25k. Wishing I just started off with the used LS. Perfect daily.. who says you can't get a fun second car?
Lexus LS for 300,000 miles, 750li maybe 150,000 miles. You choose.
My LS 430 just turned 311K, and I upgraded to an LS 460 L. I had my LS 430 for 14 years. Also bought it used. It’s name was Mr. Luthor.
34 year old. I would kill for an LS460!
💀
Watching this review waiting for the MEGA MILLIONS numbers to come out tonight.
***** well I went from a BMW 5 series to the Lexus GS, and one big part was the lower maintenance. It's not the fact about being able to afford it or not... It's the fact that I like to drive the car that I bought. My Bimmer was constantly in the BMW dealer being worked on. Every other month. I was scared to drive long distance. I didn't feel secure and confident that it was reliable for me. I love the way my Bimmer handled but other than that I'm very disappointed at how my car wasn't reliable! My Lexus GS on the other hand! Is beautiful drives nice and all I do is regular up keep and maintenance. My car is and feels very reliable. I love lexus. I miss my Bimmer and wish I had better times but i got tired of driving the dealers loaners. I'm a lexus guy now.
The German cars are crap. If u don't sell them after 50k miles ,, hope you saved your funds because it's about to get expensive
mark Roderick what’s German about Toyota ?
Marcus Gren HES talking about bmws Mercedes etc
Exactly! I made a huge mistake in the summer of 2018. I bought a 2013 BMW X5 with 94,000 miles, within eight months I sunk nearly $2500 into it. Couldn’t sell it privately, wound up trading it in for my beautiful 2013 Lexus ES 350 with only 30,000 original miles. Now has 36,000 miles after one year and it’s just simply the best car I’ve ever owned. Most Dependable reliable car on the road today for the $.
I paid roughly $18k and and got a four-year extended warranty which is strictly peace of mind, in case anything like electronic goes bad.
If you don’t lease a BMW you’re out of your mind. Anything used over 50,000 miles and five years old is an absolute money pit !!
2016 A6 3.0t is still running strong at 90K miles. No issues.
My dad bought the same model as my first car. It hasn’t arrived yet, however I am excited. This really helped me get an idea about the car and I am even more excited about it. Great review giving two different standpoints on nice cars!
My envy is immeasurable I hope you enjoy the hell outta this road king
You want "Excitement" in a long wheel base luxury sedan? I don't. I want a quiet, refined ride, with great safety features and as little road noise as possible.
It takes more skill to make a car quiet as this. ANY car can be made to sound meaner, but to actually eliminate sound is waaaay harder!! Kudos to Lexus!!
Another thing : If you wanted more excitement in your LS, you should have reviewed the LS460 F-Sport. It has Sports-tuned and lowered Adaptive suspension, a Torsen Limited Slip Rear Differential and Brembo 6 piston brakes. And it would still be cheaper than and better driving than an equivalent 7 series.
I agree with Nathan the Lexus LS is really nice, If Roman wanted excitement I believe he should test drive the Lexus LS 460 F-Sport which has gotten good reviews! You get more for your buck with Lexus. Roman didn't give the LS 460 no credit at all. They really should get the LS F-sport i'm sure Roman opinion will change.
Im 35 years old and i really want this Lexus LS 460
I have a Tesla Model S (which I adore), a Mercedes E350 Cabriolet, a BMW i3 and a 2008 LS460. The LS is the oldest and has the most miles, but I can't seem to make myself part with it. My common sense says to sell, and I barely drive it. But sometimes, I love just sitting in it, with the Mark Levinson stereo cranking. The LS is a keeper. Even if it is boring!
I just bought one of these today at 18 I love it I drove it 300+ miles from Houston back to my home and I was comfortable the whole ride also through the multiple portions of twisty roads it was great fun I liked the heavy feeling there is so much mechanical grip so you can really just put the power down
I’m getting a 2010 ls460 today also as my first car😎 I just sat in it yesterday but damn is it nice
@@alexvargasmorales712 mine is my second car and I love it
Some people just can't handle an honest, informed review that points out downsides as well as positives, which you seem to talk about much more. You guys are going to be up there in views with Drive and Motor Trend if you keep it up!
I’m 31 and own this car. Absolutely love it. Nothing else like it.
roman likes crappy bmws and mercedes german cars that break down after a couple years. lexus is 10times more reliable and this is what you call real luxury a car that lasts forever it has quality parts. i dont see anything boring it has all the features. put some deep dish rims on it and this car looks amazing!
I have Lexus and s500,my Lexus held its value and never broke down on me comparing to the s500,
This is by far the best looking car of its class and Lexus is finally beating its competitors in style. I would take this LS over an Audi or BMW any day. Amazing.
I mean people forgot about the Ls 430 from those cars are still sweet. Now this is the new generation of that 430
Yes sir bro I own a 2006 Lexus LS430 and never getting rid of her she is a keeper
Nothing like this I got one I will never let it go! Beautiful in and out the beast car 🚗 in the world 🌎 period.
I have driven 10 and 12 yr old LS' models and they're still quiet, rattle free and the engine still smooth as new. This is quality, it's no wonder Lexus comes out ahead in both CR and JD Power surveys time after time, BTW came back to channel, I do enjoy your reviews.
The Lexus LS is one of the most comfortable reliable and best built cars in the world. Mine now has 100,000 miles and it feels no different than it did at 0 miles.
I have a 2006 Lexus LS430 and mines feels the same I’m never getting rid of her she is a keeper 😎
im 28 live in orlando fl; cant think of a better daily driver to sit in terrible traffic or pile some friends in to take the the beach on weekends. speed comfort stealth and reliablity, just what i want.
Coming from a 1999 lexus ls400 and being 24, I’m a young person buying this car, and many other people my age. They are comfortable and reliable, but when you hit the gas its a whole different experience.
The perfect large sedan.
Lexus' new design inspiration is beautiful, best looking grill, led lights and body lines I've ever seen on a car
Disreguard my username; Lexus is the most refined, reliable, and luxurious company in the world for the money, and can escalate over Mercedes-benz and BMW. Forget the rest, I'm getting a Lexus. And Hyundai is just a joke. Comparing a Lexus to a Hyundai is like comparing Louis Vuitton to Faded Glory(Wal-Mart's brand).
I got a little tired of the guys bantering back and forth ,probably watched longer than I should have.
One of my cars is the 2013 Lexus LS and I'm 30 and I love it.
Nathan is right. This car is really comfortable and easy to drive. Main thing is that this Lexus LS460 has Toyota's legendary reliability that the German automakers cannot match, that's why that engine is hidden under the plastic. I am a college student and this Lexus LS460 is my 2nd dream car(1st is LFA)
I'm only 20 and this is the next car on my list I have a 2016 lexus Gs350 and this Ls460 will make a fine addition to my driveway plus with an exhaust it is the sweetest note ever
Here's the problem: Car journalists have killed traditional luxury cars like this. 90% of people looking for a luxury car would love this thing. However car journalists are bored by it because they drive so many different cars they're always looking for something new and exciting. So when they get a car like the LS they say it sucks and people don't buy them. So car makers respond by turning their luxury cars into sport car wannabes. I don't want a luxury car that handles like a 911. If I wanted that I would buy a 911. I want a luxury car that focuses 100% on luxury. The LS460 is one of the best luxury sedans. No performance BS, pure luxury and a naturally aspirated V8. The new LS has a twin turbo V6 which isn't terrible but the V8 is so much better. Plus the interior and exterior styling of the new LS is too sporty and fake.
People who can afford these cars don't need the handling or speed. They just want luxury
Good idea but what if we both like or dislike the car. We always try to give our honest opinion. Thanks for passing it along and thanks for watching.
My dad bought an 05 S-Class and my mom bought an 04 LS430. The LS looks and drives like the day she bought it, and the S-Class is just...tired. The LS hasn't had a single problem of any sort in 175,000 Miles either. I hear you on road presence, but I would take an LS at the drop of a hat.
Not surprised you fell asleep in the back seat, I've had many of Uber customers from the airport fall asleep in the back seat, they said it's so comfortable back there. So glad my Lexus could give them a relaxing ride home after their trip. One day I had to go sit back there just to see if they were telling me the truth... They were. One day maybe I'll ask my wife to drive just to see how comfortable the drive is.
Beware, you might get more children...
Iam 31 and I would love to own one of this excellent Takumi Car 😍
I'm 28 and I just got a 2015 f sport. Love it. I wanted something quiet and comfy which economy cars do not really give you. And I wanted the tech and the presence that this car indeed has. You just don't really see it because Lexus is a young car company and is still in the process of establishing their roots.
I agree with nathan that Lexus is more focus on luxurious and actually LS is a fun car to drive, if compare to Germany's opponents, Lexus could be lose in the performance, some exciting drive functions, etc. But, Lexus LS is a good, nice looking car, if i am a sucessful business man, I would choose LS for the luxurious and comfortable :D
How exactly are we anti-Toyota and Lexus? We gave our highest "Buy it" rating to three of the four Lexus cars we reviewed over the last 2 weeks. We also posted a total of 5 new Toyota/Lexus car videos recently. In fact we are verging on becoming a Toyota fan club. Good Bye and good luck finding all Toyota fan boy channel!
Have to agree with Nathan. The car is engineered to be a luxury car to expect it to be as exciting as a porsch 911 is about as stupid as expecting a Ferrari to be as useful as a minivan.
Vehicles are engineered by the manufacturers for a purpose and I think lexus has hit nail on the head with the ls.
I dunno about it being an "older mans car" I'm 25 & I'm planning on getting a '14-'15 this year?
If you want to slot it into some category, then here it is: "The car calmly chewing up mile after mile of road - be it ice, snow, dirt, water, etc. - with a driver that feels at peace as he commutes to work with silky NA V8 glory"
Long story short: it's stupid reliable, has real full-time AWD, isolates you better than any other sh*t-box could, comes with a reliable D-4S V8 & doesn't require you to become best friends with your local Merc. service manager. What else do you want from a car?
P.S. - Plastic or no, mine will never see a dealer - I want mine to last =)
What I love about reviews are you guys anti as well as pro review. I love it. Good Job keep going. I hope you get more budget and review more cars. :)
That Lexus is not boring. I'll take a $75,000 car that has all the features of a German Brand for $100,000 up to $150,000 any day. That Lexus is a Beast.
I’ve got an LS and I absolutely adore it. I’m 22.
I love the sound of the door closing just lets you know its heavy and luxuirous. 4:07
Trying to figure out why Roman was even in this video, his bias against this car was apparent right out of the gate as a young person myself I kinda like the big luxury car.
I would choose an S class over its competitors any day but I would buy this car for my mom. The LS is still a great car.
I'm backing nathan on this one and I'm 17 years old. However, the biggest thing i agreed with roman on this one was how they didn't make a brand new LS. they just retouched it. Still looks seems a great car.
Yeah it is exciting waiting for your BMW to be repaired in the dealer, isn't it?
Im a 25 year old hitman, and i kinda want one 😂
The LS has the hammer of Thor invisibly thrusting you through space in total serenity
DA CAR IS A REAL BEAUTY AND MAKES THE AUDI A8 A LAUGHABLE OVERPRICED CHEAP ASS VW/SEAT/SKODA:)
Mate these cars are for refined drivers and passengers not for the race car enthusiast. Have you ever owned a BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar or a lexus. I have owned Lexuses for over 13 years. I work as a Limo driver daily and the Lexus is above the others in luxury, comfort and presence. We have one LS430 in the fleet that has done 650,000 kms and still hasn't had the bonnet lifted, just oil changes and wheel bearings every 150k. BMWs at same mielage are in the wreckers after engine rebuilds, transmission rebuilds front suspension rebuilds etc etc. Its not meant to be a boy racer. I also own a 9sec 67 Camaro that I race. Don't try and combine one car to do 2 things. As an Aussie you talk shit.
It's 2021 now buy it, It's still a kickass car!!! Think I'll buy mine in ah week👍👍
roman is a complete fool, nathan is right about the lexus it is quiet smooth elegant, it a extreme luxury car not a sport car
Nathan is definitely a better reviewer than Roman. This is a full size luxury sedan, not a Porsche. I feel at times Roman is very biased.
Then Roman, you pay for the unreliability of the German cars.
Roman hating on Lexus because of its reliability lol He wants cool looking BMW, Audi or Mercedes that are constantly breaking down on him xD
25 and I own one, loving it!
That is the most reliable luxury car where you drive by 6 year old german cars on the highway waiting for their tow truck
well mr. Robin if a car has 186 hp and accelerate from 0-60 in 5.4 sec don't excite you what do you expect to excite you!!! well i drove one of these cars and i will tell you what i felt, it's more sporty than Mercedes S-class which i drove also. and if you confuse from the front of the Lexus cars, you better be more confused with German cars specially Audi which has same front design in all his models. thanks
Lexus LS holds incredible value unlike bmw and Mercedes. This Lexus with 100k miles is priced well over 20 grand. A bmw 7 series or a class Benz is worth 18-20 grand tops with 100k miles yet you pay close to 100 grand for an overpriced luxury which depreciates in value like crazy. I’ll pick Lexus over German engineering any day
Roman, the LS will outlast the Benz, BMW, and the Audi handsdown for a lot less money.
my dad has one of those, he is proud
I love this lexus, and I'm 27. Nathan, I'm with you on this one.
Furthermore Slim I've driven and lived with the Merc, the Audi, the Hyundais, the Jaguar and the BMW. Have you? If not I would humbly suggest that my opinion is not only different but perhaps more informed as well. If anybody has the right to call BS...it would be me.
Roman, you did good. It is not a matter of being bias. What is important is the honest opinion you have for the car. Every car reviewer could say good things about the car and not gripe about it and everyone would love it. But that would be so wrong. I as a car enthusiasts would definitely want to hear the truth whether it is something good about the car or bad. We as the consumers are paying quite a hefty sum for it, obviously we would wanna know the pros and cons of the car. Excellent review.
I really like the looks of this car. It has a nice sounding exhaust note and sounds good at full throttle. Plus it should be very reliable. I like the luxury and quietness to. I agree with Nate on this one!
I think I agree with Roman, Lexus tries to make it seem like the LS is all new when really it's just a refresh of the old design.
Lexus is the best luxury car in the world considering pricing, reliability, comfort and of course no headache
Yes, Roman, this is an old man's car, and IF you ever mature to that status, you will appreciate it. Meanwhile, since you expect to get entertained by a car, you may consider going to the circus instead - it may be more your current style.
I agree with you Mayuresh, the XJ truly deserves to be mentioned and it's one of our favorite luxury sedans. Our reviews are based on driving experience and not long term; as such, running costs, maintenance and overall value is far too subjective for our channel. We don't do long-term - - yet. We don't rank vehicles in our reviews other than our "buy-it, lease-it, rent-it and forget-it" TFLCar scale. We simply cannot cram that much info into our s. hort format. Thanks for watching!
Sometimes you want a quiet car. Less fatigue, easier to listen to music. What's not to love? Get another car for the weekend.
