Thumbs up Old "New" Hybrid

Hello everyone. Sello here form South Africa.

Just bought my GS450h in Feb this year. I must say it is a very nice car to look at. Needless to say, a chick magnet. .

Confort: Its not 100% smooth but it surely beats most cars in its class. It is quiet when you need it to be.

Drive: Mmmmm! its a beast. I am used to manual stuff and levers but with just a push of a button, you get the most surpring power from this car. It is fun to drive. do yoursel a favour, go and test drive one.

Fuel: Who worries about it, huh! .

Why I bought it: I got offered to test drive the 4G GS250. It was "sheer driving pleasure"...but i could only afford the 3G and i found her at a dealer waiting for me. Got her at around 61000km on the clock.

Gen: I must say that the Japanese thought of almost everything that a gentleman would need his car to do. Short of making coffee. The two things i am missing is a USB port and a boot space. Well, i am enjoying the car and i am happy to say that it is by far my best buy this year.

the trunk space is the reason why i purchase my GSh... i like it small, and rear seat can't be fold down, so people won't ask me to haul their dirty lawn tools and bunch of dirty stuff you can think of.

best way to post your pics here is to load them up to a picture hosting site like tinypic or imageshack, and then link them to here.
