In the UK these came out as the GS300 with 3 litre v6 and 247bhp. I had a 2008 model and it was superb. Fast, luxurious and handled brilliantly. Better than a 5 series or Eclass to drive. Loads of room and a huge boit (trunk). Needed lots of maintenance though. Suspension was the weak point needing replacing at 60k miles, mine had electrical niggles at 67k miles and twin exhausts burn through and spilt at Y junction from bottom link pipe to manifold meaning a £750 replacement system. To drive though they are fabulous even by todays standards. I have the rx450 now but its not as luxurious or good to drive as the older GS which was also their best ever looking fastback saloon.

They're always taking away something or reducing it, then after awhile they bring it back or upgrade the component. They probably concluded that not enough people used it.

I used to have Camry 2012 and i just bought 2008 GS 350 , the GS 350 is way better and comfortable to drive , also the GS 350 has more powerful engine than the Camry, in terms of maintaining cost, the GS 350 is very Reliable car just like the Camry , so maintenance cost will be a little bit higher than the Camry, because GS 350 is a Lexus !

I've got a GS460 which is slightly faster and has adjustable suspension, and i find the handling to be very good, best of any cars I've owned actually, but there is very little road feel through the steering wheel. So it takes a while to get used to

@michaelwarner2434 2 жыл бұрын

Frankly I'd prefer mine was a bit more polished. I have an AWD with 17 inch wheels and my BMW 750 rides way better with 20's. The Bimmer is way quieter as well. The Mark Levinson stereo isn't worth the money. That said, I really like the car overall plus it's WAY more reliable than my BMW.
