Was a great car, sounded great, drove great... Car seat was too tight in the back..lol... (Hence the oddy now)

Infotainment was lacking

My biggest gripe....20oz didn't fit in the cup holder...lol

But no regrets moving back to Lexus when the GSF came out. I actually tried waiting to get a car , me and the wife shared the benz for about a year (family owned business so it worked out)...then finally needed my own car, and the GSF still wasn't out yet.

Yeah I feel you, I wouldn't have done it right away either would have just waited for the lease to finish, but we didn't plan to get the mini van right away, and the car seat in the Ghibli was just too tight.

Loved the IS250 but too small for a baby. The GSF exceeded all my expectation and love it. I can fit a baby stroller and a basketnet in the trunk, baby car seat in back with an adult in the front with full leg space. Best of all I can bring it to the track in the summers

Most Reliable - Lexus, Toyota, Honda(except their usage of cheap tires), Kia Sedona. Out of all these cars, the Lexus GX460 was the most reliable. Not a single problem with the SUV. Even the tires never lost its air pressure....
Most Fun to Drive - Lexus GS F, Mitsu Evo, Honda Civic Si, Honda Fit Mugen, Mazda 3 hatchback, Honda Accord EX-L, Ford Mustang GT
Most Unreliable(pure crap) - Kia Sportage, Ford Mustang GT
Most Comfortable Ride - Lexus GX460 hands down win this category. It is so comfortable, yet a boring SUV. Did not like it for road trips due to being prone to falling asleep at the wheel due to its comfort level....

Most Reliable - Lexus, Ford Escort. The GS4 is superb. I did have to have the timing belt/water pump re-replaced at the dealer since the previous owner took it to Firestone and they used aftermarket parts just a few months prior to me purchasing it with 121k on it. (The water pump failed after many days cruising over 130mph. ha the most reliable. The '94 Jimmy (last year of the 1st-gen S-Dime / S-15 trucks!) was also reliable. Terrible on gas, but always got me there, and had the siiccckkk digital dash and push-button 4wd for the winter months.



Most Fun to Drive - FOR SURE the MR2! Even though it was slow, it was sooo sweet, and low, and handled like it was on actual rails. Car could almost handle ANY corner, no squeal with the sweet staggered set of wheels that I put on it.


The 1992 Grand Am GT was a REALLY close 2nd-fav though. The transmission was the nicest feeling manual I think one could experience for any car that was UNDER 20k new. Even $30-$40k (new), honestly. Awesome pops/spurts from the stainless glasspacks on the cat-back that I had custom made it, also. 94 Octane from Sunoco made it extra fun, too. Seriously was noticeable. Quick little car for it's time.

The Supercharged GP GTX had a few mods, and didn't handle like anything that's ACTUALLY sporty, but it rode nice, made over 300hp (with about the same torque as the GS4)... sounded good, and was a fun daily.




Most Unreliable(pure crap) - Crown Vic! Ughh... thought I had a decent car to do whatevs with.. but it was a nightmare - due to suspension parts, etc. (albeit, mainly due to the bogus *** amount of rock salt it was exposed to)



Most Comfortable Ride - Lexus GX430. OBVIOUSLY. ha


But....when we FIRST installed the strut bags up front/rear bags + shocks in the rear of the "Grand Air"... that ride quality def topped the GS4 with over 100k miles on stock suspension. After a few years of hitting switches and (only) 10k miles of ****ty bumps/roads in the Northeast, it started to decline in 'ride quality' pretty quickly. ha
