Hi guys,
Just looking for some advice as I am a total noob when it comes to Lexus.
I have been looking for a new car for some time, and being a BMW enthusiast/driver for many years, I have been looking for the right E60 5 series, (525d or 530d auto), which I still have not found. Being totally honest, I am not a big fan of the E60 5 series shape, and let's face it - they are everywhere, so that got me thinking about what else looks pretty cool.
I remember seeing a 2008 GS in the car park at work a few months back, and thought to myself that it looked great - I love the rear of the car. Also, I hardly see any on the road, (which is good!).
Anyway, my annual mileage is around 5000 miles per year, which is pretty low, but I still prefer diesel cars. 99% of my driving is done in the city (urban).
What I want to know is what sort of mpg could I expect from a GS450h in the city environment. I understand that the electric motor runs until you reach 40MPH, which sounds ideal for city driving, (less than 40MPH), so I presume that no/very little fuel is used for the electric motor when in use? I am hoping that the GS450h would be the ideal car for my situation, (low annual mileage, with mostly city driving).
What I am concerned about is the 3.5 litre petrol engine, as I imagine that it would just drink petrol...?
My E90 330i I had a couple of years ago had terrible MPG.
Any other tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks
Raj ;)
EDIT: Oops, just realised I put 430h instead of 450h in the title!
