Attention 06 or 07 GS350 owners.

I'm considering buying one, but I'd like to know your experience with. Have you had any

1. electrical problems

2. ABS issues

3. transmission problems

4. other...

Thanks in advance

Kris

none of those issues for me so far with over 46k's on my gs300 06

My 2006 GS300 gets an average of 29 in town and 34 on the highway. My best is 36mpg with the cruise control set on 60mph.

I too looked at an M35 before leasing and buying the GS300 06 because of the gas mileage difference. Trust me, the Infinity is a great car too but it is just thirstier.

I picked up my 2006 GS430 at the end of September during the Certified Pre-Owned special program. It had a little over 40,000 miles and they went $28,500 before taxes.

I was debating between the 300AWD (living in the snowbelt) and the RWD 8 cylinder. My wife asked one simple question: Wouldn't you want the 8 cyl. power more? She won!

Congrats on your pickup!

I will say when the dealership did the "We Owe" work, they gave me a new RX350. The Nav screen in the RX really made me sad when I looked at the one in my GS. I would DEFINITELY be interested in upgrading the screen for better resolution. ;)

Congrats to all you guys on your new GS's. They are fun to ride in, just get the right tires. I have Bridgestone pole position all season ultra high perf

I have a 2007 AWD GS 350 in the Northeast. I would describe the ride as harsh for a luxury "sports" sedan. After I replaced the Dunlop run flats with Pilot Alpin P3s on 17 inch rims for the winter the ride got much better. Still I can't say that it's as good as I expected. I've only notice one dashboard squeak in very cold weather.

I have an "06" GS300 rwd with no rattle after 46k miles and I bought it new. I had major problems with the Dunlops, especially the run-flats and changed to Bridgestone Pole Position All-Season, Ultra- high performance tires with OEM specs and it was like day and night for me. My wife thought I had gotten a new car. She had preferred not to ride in my car until I did something about the ride. I was so relieved it was the tires that made this lexus ride like a 4x4 truck, no exaggeration.

The ride feels a little mushy at first with the Bridgestones and needs some getting used to but it is so smooth and handles almost as good as the summer tires. It did pretty good in the rain with no hydro-planing whatsoever. As for the rattle in your car, I have a suspicion the dash was opened up at some point prior to your knowledge and not put back correctly. I'm on my 3rd lexus and never had any rattle problems.

hope this helps,

Vincent
