Favorite feature: |
All of it. Exterior and Interior Design. |
Least favorite feature: |
I don't care much for the wood trim especially the trim on the steering wheel. If I had to change one thing that would be it. I like the trim on the Acura TL - no wood trim. |
Advice to buyer: |
The 2006 GS300 is going below invoice. However, I am perplexed at the invoice price plus options on this website ($1000 lower) compared to the $42,924 invoice price I received from internet sales. By the way, take another $700 off. $42,224 + tax & lic. |
Detailed review: |
I've test driven the GS 300 about 4 times, and like all other reviews I've read from other websites, it's true, performance is not the GS 300 strongest virtue. It is more of a luxury car if anything. However, I do like the soft and quiet ride and it does handle more like a sedan than a sports sedan as it claims to be. Comparing this to my BMW X5 with a 3.0L engine 225HP versus the GS300 with 3.0L at 245HP, I think I can adapt to the performance since I am content with the performance I get from my BMW X5. I am so glad to get rid of my X5 - too much electrical problems. Looking foward to the Lexus, a more reliable, dependable, and easy on the pocket book in terms of maintenance and repairs cost; at least that's what I heard. |
