What Our Members Are Saying about Lexus GS Materials and Workmanship
| Available Features of the Lexus GS: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 303-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The plastics are soft, the wood is rich and the leather is thick. Although the car is 3 years old with almost 40k miles, I have not heard a squeak or a rattle despite Houston's cratered concrete highways. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 303-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Fit and finish are impeccable |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 292-horsepower 3.5L V6 Hybrid 6-speed shiftable CVT RWD |
Materials are nice to the touch Material quality does not visibly deteriorate in less visible areas Excellent integration of leather into areas, where you are likely to touch it (knee support on centre tunnel) |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 300-horsepower 4.3L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Seemed lower quality than RL; plastic scuffed easily and wood was not as rich in appearence. Dashboard seemed to be old fashioned. |
What Our Members Are Saying about BMW 7-Series Materials and Workmanship
| Materials and Workmanship of the BMW 7-Series: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2001 | 4dr Sedan 282-horsepower 4.4L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
SUN EXPOSURE HAS CAUSED SOME INTERIOR PLASTIC WARPAGE, AND, OF COURSE, ANY AND ALL SERVICING IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN OTHER CARS (UNLESS YOU HAVE A MASERATI), BUT CAR REPAIRS IN GENERAL ARE BECOMING MORE EXPENSIVE FOR ALL CARS AS TIME GOES ON. |
