I went from a 02 wrx to a 01 gs430. I felt like I wanted a luxury car but the v8 sucks up gas like nothing. Its big and heavy but I never felt like I needed more power. However, if you like a car that handles well, its not for you. The 2nd gen GS's also have a weird vibration issue with rims. I went through many road force balances and it drove me crazy. I eventually got an integra gsr as a dd and found myself drving and enjoying the integra more. Needless to say, I sold both cars and am now in a 04 wagon. You can't beat a lexus if you want all out luxury, but the fun factor is not there at all. I would look into 330 zhp's if you want the best of both worlds.

Thats my only thing sjscooby. I'm definently going to miss some of the handling aspect of my car, but I definently want something out of my comfort zone right now and just need some change. I've been thinking of a gdb sti, but would like some luxury and I've always liked the 2nd gen GS. I was thinking about a 1st gen G35 as a possibility since I've always liked those as well.

Already took off the rear bumper lip (car too low and forgot about it...while backing up kinda smushed it lol)

Anyway, I'm under the same name on ZY. Nice to meet ya.
