Farewell Gs450H, Welcome Gs300H

[Zotto]

:driving:So, it happened

My GS450h MY2008 was in perfect shape, but I made the mistake to go and see the new GS MY2014, and I traded my 450 for it.

The GS300h is the top version, full loaded of all bell & whistles and with only 10000 miles, it was a official Lexus Italy car made for press presentation, and wonderful.

I was worried about less engine power, but actually in usual traffic it's not really a problem to have 220 hp instead of 345, and taxes are far lighter.

The new GS300h have many improvements on my previous 450, and this is really surprising as it was already excellent!

For the little time I drive it, I Noticed a better Handling, better brakes, less noise, a better steer, a complete inputs Mark Levinson...

Just to list some features:

Total LED headlamps automatic

Seats with 18 regulations

Night vision

HUD

Anti collision radar and safety pack.

Very happy, discovering my new toy

Congrats on the new car.

The new GS is certainly a big step up from the previous generation. I had a GS300h on 24h test drive and whilst I was very impressed with how the car had moved on and how well it cruised I couldn't quite get over the lack of oooomph.

It was also the main reason of my doubts, 120 HP less than former 450h , but after some time of driving , 300h power appears sufficient to usual needs.

Current generation 450h for you then? As you say a big step up in all areas.
