Modern Luxury with the Sport Suspension kit is the best. No handling mods needed, just good rubber. UL package goes over the top with gizmos you likely won't use (unless you like to sit in the back seat) and doesn't handle as well.
The double panel glass windows are pretty sweet. Also the material around the interior is noticeable as well. If I had more money I would buy the Ultra Luxury.
hi @pushtoyota Do you notice a difference between the trims with double pane glass vs regular side glass in terms of quietness? Im torn between getting UL vs base version. Hope you see this message. Have a good one! 😇🙏🏼
He didn't point out that the rear seats are adjustable. That alone puts it in a different League from your standard LS 430 sport. And by the way I have a 03 non UL and it too has the voice recorder and emergency assistance controls. Another difference between the two is the 01 to 03s have an upper and lower glove box whereas the 04 to 06 do not. Another thing to note is while the 04 to 06 have a six speed transmission which is better for gas mileage the horsepower is actually down a little.
bro, you ripped those sun shade curtains up so fast, lol. That's the #1 reason why they break. Be easier on the cars man, buttons and all... Everything was meant to used, but not smashed hard or jerked.
KULL3R94 I owned an ‘01 with sport suspension for about 8 months until I found my ‘04 with sport suspension 5 years ago and I have to agree. The front fascia, smaller LED tail lights, and rear bumper with dual exhaust cutouts on the 04-06 just look waaaay better. Plus with the addition of the smart key, self-leveling projector HID that swivel left and right around turns, 6 speed auto, reworked suspension, power rear window shade, and knee airbags (plus I think I missed one or two more things)... the 04-06 is a no brainer compared to the 01-03
Wait till those electronics fail: LED lights, directional headlights, smart key. There’s a point of negative returns …. Oh you’ll pay, can’t just change an LED. After 03 Lexus realized cars were too excellent in every aspect; hence the electronic Tom foolery to force buyers into rip city dealerships. Shame they had it then penny pinchers stopped by.
I got the first year 2001 LS430. It have none of the features on this video. I think it's a base model. My 2008 LS460 is lovely but it's down right now. Planning to work on it soon.
Damn who ever owned that UL did not take care of that car smdh
If I did not get a GS300 then this would be my main Lexus pick for a daily.

i’m assuming the factory air ride on the UL was replaced with coilovers because you can’t hear the pump when putting it in high

This was a wholesale car, and it was not taken care of. I agree with you, I will try to be more gentle next time.
2004 has vanity mirrors I have one
I own an 05 and I wouldn't want a pre-facelift model, I personally find them incredibly ugly.
Same here, the cherry wood and leather is nicer though on 01-03. Everything else 04-06
@@pushtoyota The 04 has black leather with cherry wood. The 02 is the ultra luxury with gray interior.

@@lexusls You got one of the good ones - 04-06 w/ factory sport susp kit
I prefer the preface models less problems then the 04 n easier to fix yo self
I’d take the 04 because of the 6 speed transmission
I agree!

@@daffyduckphd This is a lexu not a bimmer
I prefer this car with the cream interior and the light wood
Thanks for sharing!
I have an ML and love it. If I had a UL it’s not like id be sitting in the back touching buttons
Does the an 04 modern Luxury have air suspension?
Is there a huge difference in the fuel economy between the two cars and how much each one gets
04-06 Has the 6-speed automatic and has better acceleration and fuel economy. I would say 3 mpg more highway compared to the 01-03 LS 430.
pushtoyota thanks bro really love this car they don’t make them like they used to

Good cars! You got good taste!
@@pushtoyota thank you too. My next one is the 99-00 ls400. I'm planning to get this on my birthday in August. I love LS lol
What is wrong with your LS460? I have a 2014 lexus LS460L with 53k mi.
Are these two Lexus for sale
should've compared UL to UL for both years. Ofc the ML will be missing things only the UL has...
Is that a compressor in the background?
yes my apologizes
TOO Noisy, For LS430's,One May Have A Serious Exhaust Issue.
Ed Cain one has after market exhaust, no serious issues lol
@@pushtoyota that whistling sound at 11:22 is the serpentine belt needing to be replaced on the 04.
@@BladeTheMotovlogger the tensioner and idler needs to be replaced also
Ok so 2004 looks different from front
Yes updated headlights
