What does Edmunds.com Say?
“A smooth, comfortable American sedan
with a good heart, but it lacks the refinement
and athleticism of its competition.”
The Pros and Cons from Edmunds.com
Pros
Confident steering and handling, optional
V8 delivers plenty of smooth and quiet power,
comfortable and roomy interior, optional
THX-certified sound system.
Cons
Lack of a manual transmission keeps it from
true sport sedan status, build quality lags
behind German and Japanese competitors,
not as nimble as other sport sedans in its
class.
Safety
In NHTSA crash testing, the LS scored a
perfect five stars for driver and front
passenger protection. Side-impact tests
resulted in a four-star score for front-seat
occupants and five stars for rear-seat passengers.
In 40-mph frontal offset crash testing by
the IIHS, the LS received a "Good"
rating (the best possible).
Traction control is standard across the
line, while the AdvanceTrac stability control
system is standard on the V8 Ultimate, but
optional on all other trims. The four-wheel
antilock disc brakes are equipped with Electronic
Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and BrakeAssist.
Side airbags for front passengers are standard
on all models; full-length head curtain
airbags and rear parking sensors are optional.
