Pros: What do you like about 2006 Lexus GS-Series?
The resale value of a Lexus - you can't beat it. Specific to this car: The keyless entry is awesome. What a great feature to add. I also think the integrated bluetooth phone sounds wonderful. The keyless entry, bluetooth phone and push button start make you feel like James Bond.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus GS-Series?
The gear ratios seem set up for fuel economy - which is a good thing. You need to use the 'power mode' to get the sportier ride out of it. What I don't understand is why the car is always in 5th gear when engaging the sequential shifter. Why can't it engage while remaining in the current gear?
2006 Lexus GS-Series Review:
Lexus nailed it with this one. Great exterior design. It looks both sporty and elegant. The interior is typical lexus - well appointed and comfortable. I just felt at home the first time I took it for a test drive and the experience has gotten better each time. The engine is silky smooth and responsive when you need it. I look forward to getting behind the wheel.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Lexus GS-Series?
Smooth drive. Navigation system. Bluetooth phone support. Rainsensing wipers. Automatic headlights. Luxurious leather seats. Keyless entry. Miles that can be driven for available fuel. Fuel consumption information.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus GS-Series?
Support for different music formats. IPod support. Trunk could be made a little bigger. Need more exterior color options - current range is limited and the two colors we chose were not easily available.
2006 Lexus GS-Series Review:
This is an awesome car. It is so much fun to drive that I volunteer to go grocery shopping. We wanted to get the RWD, but got the AWD because we wanted a specific color that is not easily available. The slight drop in the fuel efficiency bothers me, but I forget all about it when I start the car.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Lexus GS-Series?
Keyless starter. Overall appearance. Quality feel.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus GS-Series?
Needs more interior room. Move control door to another location. Should have XM radio as standard.
2006 Lexus GS-Series Review:
Really nice car. Ride is a little too firm for me. Handling is very good. Direct injection engine is very good, but 'ticks' at idle. Interior is tight. Center console is too tall and wide, making interior feel cramped. Misc. control door near driver's left knee is very inconvenient. Highway gas mileage is excellent - 29 to 32 MPG. Avalon is probably a better value.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Lexus GS-Series?
Smart Key, AC/Heated Seats, Ability to program (3) driver setting preferences for seats, etc.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus GS-Series?
Make the owners manual a size that will fit in the glove compartment. And when they do, send all 2006 owners a replacement free of charge!
2006 Lexus GS-Series Review:
I'm a repeat Lexus customer. Love the new GS 300 for many reasons including the ride, comfort, smart key and gas mileage. Excellent car for highway travel with regards to quiet ride and comfort. In my opinion, Lexus has a winner in the new GS series. Don't listen to the critics, go try out this car for yourself; you'll see why I'm pleased with my decision to purchase another Lexus product.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Lexus GS-Series?
Never having a navigational system, this is a novelty to be sure. The performance suggests you have bought one heckuva car.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus GS-Series?
I can't think of any as it has all the features I would ever want in a car.
2006 Lexus GS-Series Review:
Graduating from an Infiniti J30 and an Audi A4, this car tops them all, clearly superior in comfort, dependability and class. In addition to a comfort upgrade, it has features the others omitted. The interface of the control panel takes some adjusting to but allows one into the 21st century. You have to check to see if it is running as the engine purrs flawlessly. It handles superbly allowing you a genuine feel of the road.

Mark Levinson sound system. Comfort...Quickness
2006 Lexus GS-Series Review:
This will be my 15th vehicle and as far as quality the best. The only downside coming out of a 7 Series BMW is the weight seems some what on the light side. Other than that this is truely an incredible machine.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Lexus GS-Series?
opening and starting and driving the car WITHOUT a key so that i don't have to fumble around looking for the key.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus GS-Series?
softer padding on the seats, parking assist sensors on the sides of the car (eg: just behind front wheel and on either side of back wheel) which will prevent hitting pillars during parking, quicker automatic locking of car after exiting (after all doors are closed) - 5 seconds suggested.
2006 Lexus GS-Series Review:
fun to drive with the optional standard feature & extremely easy to handle! great feel of control on the road and yet smooth and quiet. sporty luxury!

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Lexus GS-Series?
When I walk-up to the door, it unlocks automatically. The cool little lights illuminate around the side of the doors and it illuminate slightly all in the dark areas in the car. The rear view mirrors tent-up automatically when headlights are shinning from the rear. I can go on and on...
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus GS-Series?
If the front seats are all of the way back, it can get real crampy in the back area. I know that the front seats shouldn't be all of the way back, but sometime you need to lay back and be cool while driven. My brother in-law is 6'4" and over 300 lbs. He needs some room when we are hanging out.
2006 Lexus GS-Series Review:
What a car! It rides smooth and it has a very slick design. The cops pull me over at 90 mph and I didn't even know that I was speeding. The engine is powerful, but they say the V8 is even better.
