I'm on a Lexus learning curve

^^ that's the previous generation, Graham (the MK2). :) Not a GS300, but I do have its sibling the GS450h, and from what I can tell these GDI engines seem pretty robust. Never really heard of any issues with them. There was a valve spring recall but it doesn't apply to the GS300. Other than that, have a test drive and listen out for any creaks/rattles from the interior trims. I find the GS to be a very comfortable cruiser but just noticed that you have an LS so that may not mean much to you :P

There is a half way setting for the seat in the menu. How far it goes back depends on where you have it set to begin with. The full setting puts it all the way back.

A little update: went to cargiant yesterday with a view to buy an RX400H Limited Edition. Was so excited about this car. Well a bit less after I read about the executive ltd edition. Anyway, we were ready to get the car yesterday. I went straight to the car when we got there. From a distance the car looks "cool". I had a quick look around the car - multiple rusty chips on the bonnet, scuffed marks on the front sides, a small dent on the rear side and a big dent in the middle of the boot door (it looks so ugly), tear on one of the rear seat. That's what I could see, but I am quite sure that there are other marks on the car. I had no feeling whatsoever for the car after I saw all these. Kids were after me ... buy it ... buy it. My daughter was more interested in the badge/logo. I could not be bothered to go to the reception for test drive etc. We just walked away and went to have some proper fish instead (sushi - not everyones' taste, I know). It was RX400h Ltd Edition, 2009, 85k miles, £12,100 plus road tax. Last service due was Feb14, that was not done. Last service done Feb 13. There I am, carless but not careless .... the search goes on....

A GS450 sounds rather good I must say.... I don't buy the eco bit either it's all a load of smoke and mirrors IMO. The cost of disposal etc etc. Mind you I'm bit of a global warming sceptic anyway. Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC Me too mate....I think there is some truth in it, but they have to find a way of pegging China, Brazil and India etc back from developing too much.... Yep, and that's not going to happen until their citizens have all the goodies that we lucky one's have. I can really see the Chinese listening to the US, not!
