Just got GS3 (mixed feelings...)
So I got 01 gs300, one owner, very clean car. At first I really liked it (going from 97 SC400), very luxurious, a lot of space inside etc. Now I'm kind of starting to dislike it... Feels large, and road feeling is more like buick... too soft. I actually had 98 gs400, when I was 19, and I sold it (got bmw e46 after it) for the exact same reasons - too big, too soft, no manual. Now I don't drive as aggressively but still it seems like this story will end up the same. How do you guys feel about your GS? Were you a bit disappointed after the purchase? Especially those of you around my age (22).

aftermarket suspension, i personally like medium. I dont like honda stiff feel everything in the road nor ls430 or town car boaty feel
I think the gs300/400 is a little more on the soft than firm compared to others like bmw but you can fix that with some aftermarket suspension

Felt the same way when i first got my car as well man. I'm 18, so i like the sportier feel as well. Coilovers are beyond a night and day difference! Don't even think about it. Just pull the trigger and get some BC racing coils. They only set you out about $900.

WHAT!? Your talkin about 2 totally different cars, if you wanted a more sporty feel stick with the SC or even an IS. The GS is is all about luxury and space. Can you tell I love my GS!? Haha

The GS fits my driving style well. I'm not a very aggressive driver. I enjoy cruising around and enjoying the ride for the luxury and the comfort factor. If I wanted a sportier car I would go with a BMW or an Audi.
