What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Lexus GS
| Price of the Lexus GS: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 292-horsepower 3.5L V6 Hybrid 6-speed shiftable CVT RWD |
It can be pretty pricey but it is VERY worth it! |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW 1-Series
| Price of the BMW 1-Series: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
I pay $180 less a month on this lease than my previous MINI Cooper. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
The price is good forwhat you get. |
| Price of the BMW 1-Series: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
The standard features are lacking. Many cars costing half as much have more features than the 1-series. You can get better equipped cars for the same money with Infiniti (G37S) and Audi (TT-S, S4). |
| 2008 | 2dr Convertible 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Pricey, especially for convertible compared to coupe. Cost of auto-transmission silly compared to manuals -- and other autos. Early examples not offered with much discount from MSRP. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
When you add enough options you are approaching 3 series territory but still worth it |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Not cheap compared to Accord, Altima, etc. |
