You got the 350 or 370? Did you get an oil cooler? What state do you live in? Why the change?
I have an 04 350 6MT. Didnt do much with mods, upgraded to 06 brakes with slotted rotors and SS lines. Im in NC. I like the Z but I got a few speeding tickets, and I drive 500 miles a week, so the mileage is kinda shytty. Also miss having a back seat and a trunk, my car is messy as hell. Mods are expensive as fukk too. Im thinking TSX but I'm kinda liking the ILX 2.4 too.

Ah, that explains it.
350 > 370.
TSX is a good car, breh I think you'll be happy with it.
I drive a Mazda economic hatchback.2014 Lexus GS350 F-Sport AWD.
I know.....I know....HUGE downgrade. But it was time to down grade for awhile. The next time I come up it's going to be
And the cash back I got on my trade will pay for a few vacations.
Things I miss:
- 507 HP
- Ruling the road/highway 99% of the time
Things I don't miss
- 11 MPG city
- It dropping to 8 MPG when in idle
- 15 MPG combined
The GS is a nice car. Understated.
Things I like:
- the MPG. Averaging about 20. Which is better than 15.
- don't feel every bump like I did in my CLS in Sport II Mode. Even comfort wasn't great.
- the maroonish/red interior
- the tech package, especially the lane change assist
Things I don't like
- I miss the feel of a V8. Hard to explain.
I test drove a Audi A6, BMW 535i, and an Audi A7. In the end the money that Audi wants for the A7 on lease just isn't worth it. Plus I'd hate myself every time I saw a S7 on the road. The A6 is too boring for my tastes. And the 535i sport is overpriced. The real value is in the 550i . But I went into this with the goal of being under $600 in payment.
Anyone else have a GS?
TIME FLYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After 25 months of boring boring boring boring driving it's almost over.
The GS is a boring ass car. It's kind of quick....for a grocery getter.... I guess....but boring. The kind of car that's reliable and just disappears around you. Even the new body doesn't change that. Lexus is currently throwing shyt at me to get into another GS. Even waving my last 3 payments/first 3 payments on the new car. No thanks.
Looking at a brand new 2017 M3 with the competition package. Found a few allocations. Or a used 2014-2015 M5. I'm weary of the upcoming body changes in 2018 for both models though. But I don't think I'm going to be able to go carless until next spring and I don't want to buy a beater.
Also looking at a used 2015 Cayman S or a used 2012 911 991.1. But wifey is bytching about 2 seaters.
Any suggestions from The Coli brehs? 2 years ago I was saying a Wrangler unlimited would be my next car.

I just started working for GM and I'm sorry. Most of these people have no idea what they're doing.shyt man I went from an M6 to an M3, to an older CTS this past winter that was suppose to be just my "transition car" and apparently ended up being just, my car.
That bytch in the shop right now. I just spent $2000 on a new starter, brakes/calipers, ECM and CPS within the past 2 months. Got to work on Monday getting ready to post a sale ad for the car when my assistant says "Aye, your car is smoking." My brake control module shorted, started a small fire and fried something. Now the car wont start and I have to spend atleast another $1000 for the EBCM replacement plus whatever else got cooked. Its summertime, the Blues festival is going down and the BEACH is popping this weekend. A breh gotta cruise Lakeshore but instead im buying a subway pass until I know what the deal is...

Get a 2011-2012 Cayenne Turbo, my brother just got one about a month ago & said its the best car he's ever driven. He's had everything, I still think he's trolling though, but he swears that its the GOAT.TIME FLYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not the Porsche SUV. I hate that vehicle. It's like a clown car. They done put the engine in the front like an SUV instead of in the back like a sports car.

Anyone drive the current M5?
I might pull the trigger on a 14' or 15' if I can get one before the winter arrives... not sure how I'd feel about driving one in the winter.

I like the GS
You Win Perfect
bow down
the f-sport is not the real 'F' version, they are like base models with a different exhaust ,suspension setup and fancy Dash thats it. you can literally buy a base model and buy the F-Sport parts and bolt them on later on.
they released the true GS-F for '16.
