Love the comfort, power, and (ML) audio quality. Hate how the back seats don't fold down! Oh and also how there is Bluetooth for phone calls, but not for music streaming

 

Agreed. The 07-09 didn't offer bluetooth audio. I had to buy a cheap bluetooth adapter. Starting with the 2010 they did. I still contend if I had a 2011 instead of my 2008, I wouldn't have sold it to buy the 2014. With that said, I love my 2014!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Love: Feeling like a baller.

Hate: Too much chrome.

 

LS600h, but an LS nonetheless.

Love, in no particular order:
The hybrid powertrain; totally smooth yet muscular
LED dipped beams feel superior to any other lights I've had
Ride comfort
Comfortable seats
Cabin noise levels
Adaptive cruise control maintains a longer, more relaxed following distance than other cars I've driven
It looks adequately ok (coming from a Jaguar XK...)

Hate/dislike:
The iffy clock from whichever microwave it came off
Interior styling is ok but hasn't aged that well
Button layout is a bit weird
Halogen main beams, really?
No pause button
No "next random track" feature
Voice control is pretty poor
Trunk is really small
Trunk lid opens fairly slowly
Steering is a bit numb (we'll see if an alignment helps a bit)
Steering wheel is not heated all around the rim

All in all, the pros still outweigh the cons.

EDIT:
Adaptive cruise control actually works at walking speed, and will stop when the vehicle in front stops. Apparently this is a EU spec thing.
I've since installed a Yatour YT-M06 MP3 player, and unlike the CD changer, it seems to happily skip to next random track.

 

Sport steering wheel is heated all around. Although no need to use it in So. California.

 

Interesting, I wonder why the half-wooden one isn't? There are plenty of Jags and Range Rovers with heated wood-trimmed steering wheels around. Moving hands from heated leather to cold wood while, say, parking, is pretty awful.

 

This is my 3rd flagship Lexus and I never had so many irritating little issues, the clock being one of them. How do you fix it? It runs but won't keep correct time.

 

Love: Quiet and comfortable ride, ML stereo, NA v8 with 386horses on the tap to just to list a few. I actually like the clock. IMO it is elegant.
Hate: With little over two months of ownership, I am still in a honeymoon phase

 

The clock people are complaining about is the old digital clock, not the analog one in the 13-17.

 

Didn't know that, thank you!

 

Hate: The 2013 non-ML radio and amplifier setup, I really miss my 2011 with ML. Can't replace it and can't pull the signal before the amp to replace the speakers and amp because no one makes any sort of amp integration harness for this specific setup, unlike other Lexus cars and the pre-2013 LS460.
Love: Everything else, enough power, smooth ride, comfortable seats, dependable, plenty of room even with the SWB model. I couldn't think of a better car to spend as much time as I do driving in.

 

Wrong! Mine is a 13 and the analog clock will not keep time. Have had it in to be repaired. It will take replacing to fix it, I'm thinking.

 

I LOVE when I’m getting onto the freeway, the car gets up to 80mph without breaking a sweat. The purr of the engine, the subtle yet raging power.

I HATE that this is not a set it and forget it car like my previous 1991 ls400 years ago. Please hold the “compared to Mercedes” remarks. This is just my personal opinion.

The owner of this car must know it will cost around $1,000+ per year for maintenance items, after the 70,000 mile mark. This is not a car for a kid going through college or trying to ball on a budget. This is a car that will last 400,000+ miles with attentive car.

 

I wasn’t talking about you. Earlier on in the thread people are complaining about the “cheap looking clock”, they’re talking about the digital clock on pre-2013 models.

There is a TSB about the analog clock for 2013 models Not keeping time. Needs to be replaced

 

My new-to-me 2010 LS460 is my first luxury car, and it’s that luxury with the smooth, powerful ride that I love about the car. After 4.5 years, that hasn’t changed.

I don’t hate the digital clock, but it doesn’t really belong on a vehicle in this class. On the other hand, analog clocks in cars can look cheap as well.

My main dislike is the outdated technology of the car’s navigation system and the voice command processing, which doesn’t seem to work that well. For navigation, I use my mobile phone with a clip attaching it to fins on the central heating outlet, and I don’t use the Lexus voice commands.

On balance, a great car that should be reliable in its post-100K life — at least compared with other luxury vehicles.
