Pleased. A few things here and there really bother me, but overall pretty good.

Meh. So, so. As bad as it is, it was the best of the lot in this price range.

Disappointed. I can live with it, but I'll be looking to trade or sell soon.

Furious. Worst decision I've ever made with $50k. Not recommended. For sale/already sold.

3GS Owners: How happy are you now?
To those of you who own a Third Generation GS -- 300, 350, 430 or 450h -- how do you feel about your purchase now that you've had it for "x" amount of time?
Ecstatic, having buyer's remorse, or somewhere in between?

It's a better than most car in the price range I paid for my 07 450h.
Granted for the 74K I paid I think it suits my needs at the current time. Ya there are a few issues that I wish it didn't have but any car will have issues, I am just glad this car has less than most in the price range I am in.
The E550, well, that's a joke. The 550i, well I sold it when I had both. (it's a good car as long as you have the free maint.)
Personally, I am looking at saving a few dollars, and purchasing the new RS6, or possibly even the RS4. I think the 4 is a little to small for my size and taste, but I haven't decided if I want to dish out about 90K+ on the upcoming RS6.
Those who complain, will be met, by those who rave.
No car is perfect, but I feel the GS as a whole is a better than not car.

The complaints I have would be the same for almost any sedan. I tried a sedan for my dd once before. It was a J30. But it was small and agile enough to get me through the 3 years I drove it. I couldn't wait to get out of it. I don't know what made me try another sedan. I have had what, 10 cars. I know I'm a coupe man. I feel stupid for buying this thing. The door openings are too small, as any sedan would be. It's too big and heavy, like any sedan. Too many doors. Not sporty enough. Not quick enough.
I still like the car though. It's a comfy cruizer. It's got a little sport. It's attractive and it's cool. It's got some power and the brakes work well. Stereo sounds nice but could use a teench more bass. I'm sure I'll like it more when I finally get my 20's mounted. I also like my less than 500 a month payment for a car like this.

I'm not keen on the options available for the poll.
On a scale of 1 - 10 (10 being best), I'll give the car a 9. Main dislikes are not being able to program the nav (and input a telephone number) on-the-fly.. I didn't think the 'telephone issue' would be a concern when I got the car. But as time passes, I end up using my cell phone to place calls and then communicate via blue tooth.

I've looked at this car seriously since it first came out in 2005. I don't regret my purchase, and i'm very glad I waited for 2007 MY to come. Choosing the 350 vs. the 430 was definitely worth it.

I only have 6000 miles so far on my 07 GS350.. The car is free of sqeaks and rattles.. I am very pleased with the purchase so far... The only complaint is the softness of the paint (Black Saphire Pearl).. Now, just waiting to see what the new style RX will look like in 09....

If not, I bet you have a few rattles from the dash this winter.

I think if I could trade in my 07 for the '08 I would be a much happier camper. If they include nav for hawaii (and Toother, stay out of this. lol) it would've fixed everything that bothered me about the car except for the cushin for the driver seat, then agian, maybe they did.

I love the car.... just bored with it.... not much other than wheels / springs / sound system that I can really do to the car,.... and I've already done those things.... I'm still feeling the fallout of not having a tuner car.
