Had My Test Drive

[Lexusjohn]

Hi all, had my test drive in the New GS450h today, I lasted just 60 mins and had to get out.

The roads were wet and the handling on tight bends and roundabouts was scary, twiching and jumpy slides about, and this was not pushing it. Acceleration is good but much engine noise, seats uncomfortable ( not enough adjustment) Sat nav will NOT accept verbal or other commands whilst moving!!!!!

Economy averaged 38MPH did not go over any speed limit and got 24.5MPG, now thats crap.

Boot space!!!! NONE.

Sorry big none starter.

Just read that, dont know where they got those figures from (mid air probably) total rubish, Yes it does accelerate quickly and thats about it. Have a test drive yourself and see what you think, as for 35MPG in there dreams.
