Long Term Drive - GS300 AWD
Long Term Drive
Own 2006 GS300 AWD, NAV + ML, Mercury Metallic, 30,000 miles so far
Driving Habit: 60 miles per day highway and local combo.
· Major Issues: None
· Minor Issues: Rattle Sound at beginning. After the fixed by dealer no more issues.
· Driving – Smooth as silk and enough pickup when need it. AWD sticks to the road. Quite when you want it and hear the power when you push it.
· Exterior – Still looking gorgeous.
· Interior – Still beautiful. Every time new person rides with me the first time they touch it, feel it, and love it.
· Music – Fantastic! With ML. Turn on your favorite tune and drive the country road. This is why you bought the car!
· Trunk Space: Enough to carry 3 golf bags. Why do you complain?
· Customer Service: Fantastic - This is why you bought the car!
· Mileage: 24 – 26 MPG depend how you drive. I have Power mode turn on always. Fantastic mileage compare to other cars in the same category.
· Summary: Looking forward to drive the car everyday. I thought the feeling will die out after 6 month but I still have the same desire to drive the car as the first time I drove the car. After the break-in, the car feels smoother and more responsive. Lots of you complain about the small stuff but when you look at overall result of what you pay for, this is a car that delivers what Lexus do so well.
