My 2nd GS
First one was a GS300, now driving a new GS430. Absolutely love these cars. The transmission is a bit hesitant on the GS300. The 430 is much smoother in excelleration, and has a very nice punch. Very satisfying G's in 0-60 accelleration :) Nav system is excellent, very good directions. Points of Interest database could be better. I really only use that to find a gas station. Sound system is the best I've ever heard in a car. It's a Lexus, it's got the best quality of any luxury car. Give me a GS430 over a 540 or the LS430 any day!
Must get another car for winter
If you are seduced to buy GS430, be prepared to buy another car for the winter. This one DOES NOT run even in 2 in of snow. Traction control is worthless. I have GS 400, Mercedes, BMW drive up my driveway 6 days after a snow fall, but my GS 430 got stuck repeatedly. WORSE dealership experience in my 25 years of driving. ABSOLUTELY unwilling to help. Be warned. BE very warned.
Love my Lexus
Car is quiet and a pleasure to drive. I've had other Lexus in the past and they have always been great cars. The car is so easy to drive it feels like it is doing all of the work for me. I have recently had other cars and they become boring and aren't fun to drive. Thanks Lexus for making this car so amazing.
One Great Lux Sedan
This is the quietest, smoothest, most comfortable, and most reliable sedans you can get. And it is one of the most powerful. It is so quiet & smooth, I can drive it all day without getting fatigued. And it does pretty well on the curvy roads, for a 4,000 lb. car. I get 29-30 MPG on the freeway at legal speeds, better than the car's rating.
Huge Power, Great Features, Smooth Ride
This is a great car. Tons of power, and all sorts o0f neat features tied in with the navigation system / ML Audio. People are always amazed at how nice the interior is, very roomy and done in an extremely classy fashion.
