Which Car

[kevinsgs300]

hi guys.

since feb 2008 ive had a 1996 lexus gs300 sport mk1 which is an awesome motor.i have been looking at a few lexus ls400 which look nice but never driven one. can you guys recommend which would be the best one to have.

one thing i have to admit is i do look a bit of speed now and again.

cheers kev.

I have a 99(T) Mk 4, and it's great.

The longer I own it, the more I appreciate the quality and finish, and it'll waft around sedately with barely a touch of throttle or hit three figures very quickly if you're a tad more brutal.

It's the only one I've driven though, so can't compare with the earlier models I'm afraid, but it did seem to me to be the best choice from what I read on here and other motoring sites, both from a reliability and performance point of view.

Though i dont own an LS, It depnds on what you are looking for. if you put comfort first before performance then LS400 will be the way forward and I think the MK4's were 5 speed box compared to the earlier ones.

but if you put performance/handling first before comfort then GS430 will do the job as both cars are similar in performance but the GS has been setup towards handling and LS for comfort and quiet drive hence GS's have low profile tires were as LS's dont.

Almost but the last of the LS400s had the DHP set up so stiffer,more sporty suspension and lower profile tyres so the best of both worlds.

The only problem.... finding a good one!
