The suspension smoothed out the little ripples to give a comfortable ride that we haven't had with most other cars. That dirt road in Virginia, as well as my street in Emmaus, Pa. were both located on the Lexus GPS navigation system. This is the first navigation system that had our home street on it, as well as side streets in all the areas we drove through. While we didn't use the navigation system for directions, we did use it as a map to track our progress. Had we encountered any difficulties or heavy traffic, we could have used the system to figure out a new route to avoid any tie-ups.
Front passengers sit in individual bucket seats that are heated and ventilated.
You can either heat them, as we did in the winter, or cool them, as you might want to do in the summer. The perforated leather surface of the seat allows an internal fan to blow hot or cool air through it. In the rear is a bench seat wide enough for three passengers and with enough legroom so those passengers don't have to suffer. In general the sound system was excellent, delivering good sound and versatility. After a while, these accidental changes started to annoy us, because everything else about the LS430 was so perfect.
