1. No Rattles, quality has been top notch (and I rack up the miles)

2. Interior is nice

3. Still going to be quicker than a GS

4. Still going to handle MUCH better than a GS

5. Satnav in the GS is great

6. ML is fanastic

7. Trunk is huge

8. Every car has problems. I had a 330Ci prior to this and I REALLY miss the suspension and steering feel. The things I miss but are not as big of a deal are the gas milage, the the headlights, the LSD the brakes and the manual trans. That said, after I would never touch another one. Having an all Japanese history, I took reliability for granted when buying the BMW. Oops. So, when the warranty was up I wanted something with 4 doors, more reliable and practical without being huge. I started off looking at LSs but they felt too big. GS was just what I was looking for. That said, I really don't consider it sporty car. You may be better off going back the IS if that is what you are looking for.

thanks for everyones replies,

I know it sounds like I should go back to the IS, but I can't. Im making a very very big purchase within a few months.

Im going to do it. But i think i will see if i can find one either black or lower miles.

Thanks again CL, hopefully I will rejoin the Lexus family again
