I recently purchased my GS 300 after debating a cheap new Accord, Legacy or used E-class, Volvo 70 series or BMW 5 series. The GS competes very well. My previous car, a Crown Victoria, was a cheap stop gap to my ever present car problem.
I am really enjoying this car.
It is quiet, comfortable, smooth and yes, fast. I was not very familiar with the GS before purchase, but found it to be almost exactly what I was looking for: in line 6 (cast iron block), rear wheel drive, sunroof, safety and reliability.
The dashboard has a very nice feel, the factory seven speaker Lexus sound system is awesome, the heated seats are toasty warm, and I love the way this car looks. Ital design did a wonderful job on the lines.
It can be thirsty though. In winter months with snow tires I am averaging about 18 MPG using premium fuel. In retrospect it has been a terrible winter in my neck of the woods and maybe 18 is not too bad!
Highly recommended!
Just a small correction on the Italdesign Giugiaro firm designing this car, they only designed the first generation. From 1998 on up it was designed in house.
