As we spent more time behind the LS's wheel, however, our admiration
shifted to dissatisfaction, back to the days of December 2007.
Complaints ranged from minor grumbles ("Side mirrors are too small")
to major grievances ("If you're a driver, you'll just find the whole
experience numb and uninvolving. There is no emotion to this car.
None"), all of which made us wish Lexus had produced more of a
driver's car than a curtailed limousine. "Too soft" and "floaty" were
common notebook entries, as was, "more wind noise than I expected." In
fact, at highway speed, the LS seemed to suffer from more wind clatter
than the lower-level GS 460. And lest we forget, the LS's gimmicky
Advanced Parking Guidance system -- you know, the one in which the car
parks itself -- was deemed clever when trying to impress friends, but
frustrating to use ("I've tried it twice and it's either scared me a
little or just refused to work at all") and unrealistic in purpose
("The real-life practicality of this feature is non-existent").

From the logbook

"When dodging in and out of traffic, the LS 460's relatively loose
steering and softened suspension made me feel quite detached from the
road."
- Mike Suggett

"I never thought eight gears were necessary until I had them, and then
I realized that more is merrier, more is smoother, more is luxury --
especially when Lexus is doing the engineering."
- Brian Vance

"My mileage for the round trip to Arizona was 25 mpg and the range is
simply extraordinary -- it appears to be about 530 miles on the
highway."
- Kim Reynolds

"The eight-speed auto noticeably hunts between ratios if you drive it
in power mode. It's not smooth, and if you come off the gas, then get
back on it lightly, you can fool the transmission into making an
unseemly thump."
- Angus MacKenzie
