Another Testament To The Ls Ride

[Alex JB]

I took my LS for the 160 mile round trip to my parents this weekend.

We usually take my wife's 04 scenic but my LS was at the back of the stack in the drive so off we went.

We've also taken my previous car, Celica GT, but that wasn't the best for family comfort over distance.

We leave Stoke after lunch, usually 1pm ish, when we hit the end of the A50 to join the M1 my 2 yr old always wakes up then cries for the rest of thetrip down the M1 to Leicester...

Not today, not only did he not wake up at the end of the A50 but we got onto the drive before he even stirred! :o

Even with my 18" wheels the change in road noise when going from roundabout speed to cruising (70 as I have a bit of a disc/prop wobble above 70, my only problem with the car at the mo) is minimal, I'm loving the LS. :winky:

What Lexus LS model do you have? I have just bought an LS430. I also have an IS300 sport. I must say that apart from the toys the LS is smoother and the ride quality is better. I have just watched the LS460 parking video. VERY impressive. I beleive Mel Gibson has one! Nice to see stars driving Lexus.

My LS is a S1 with 177K miles but still smoother than my wifes people pig at 14 years old!

Love the subtle but slick shots of the LS in spooks each week, understated cool.

Yep, those cars are like funeral parlours, but even quieter!
