Powerful, smooth engine. Weak & fuel efficient at low RPM, powerful guzzler at high RPM. Transmission is not the best, has some kinks that were supposedly worked out in later models.
Has 50/50 weight balance, good tires. Handles very well for a 4-door luxury sedan.
The ride is smooth, what else is there to say?
The LS is quiet.
Paid $700 to replace the electronic throttle body, you will too if you have a 2003. Roof liner comes unglued, window regulators break easily, windshield leaks, ignition coils need replacement (recall), wheel bearings gone bad, A/C valve fails, et cetera
insurance is high. bought @ 12k miles for $17k now @ 60k miles, worth maybe $7k? dealer offered $4k on trade in.
a lot of the interior electronic doo-dads malfunction. this car makes me want manual windows, old school A/C, and an AM FM radio.
