Eh, it gets boring after a while. Lack of space, noisy *** interior.....eh it was fun while it lasted. I've driven a bunch of GS, LS and IS and I'm ready for it. I actually wanted a GS before I got the Z but ended up with this instead.

Tell me about it. If I kept the car I'd get the sport brakes from the 370z which are WAY bigger than the older Brembo brakes. I even got R disk when I ordered my fronts in preparation for brakes but ended up never doing it.

actually before i bought my GS i went through 2 integras...both times i went and looked at Z's (brand new) and i couldnt see myself spending that much money (at the time) on a Z...but when i started making decent money i wanted an adult car...and ended up with a black on black GS. everytime i see a Z i wish i had one lol. nothing wrong with the GS...i just want everything i see.

I really want a 06+ GS430 but just can't afford it at the moment. I might wait, or use the money from parting out the Z as a down payment on a 06......but then all my modding money goes bye bye. I wanted to order wheels and coilovers right away when I get a GS.

Default Leased 06 G35 Coupe for paid for 03 GS430

I decided it was not worth all that money every month and the GS is a nice ride that is paid for!! (More money for mods!!!)

'02 Audi A4 3.0 6spd Quattro w/ 104k miles




I really liked this car and miss it while I'm getting used to the older '98 GS400 I replaced it with... but hopefully the GS will be more reliable over the 100k mark though, it's got 102k now. I have to say... maybe something is jacked up w/my seat, but I just can't get comfortable for long cruises in the GS... hopefully I made the right decision

The GS will be much more reliable than your old A4. I've witnessed some of my own friends make the transition. Not necessarily to a GS, but to other Lexus cars.
