Default Trade 08 RX for a 08 GS AWD

I have had so many problems with my RX350, 6 months old less than 5k miles, (road noise, wind noise chain cover oil leak, not fixing it as they have to rip the engine out.) Leak in the sun roof, rattles in the dash, white dust from the AC system, need I say more, I have to trade it. I said I would not purchase a Lexus or Toyota ever again, however I saw a 08 Black GS AWD today and it looked great. Any one having problems or know of any problems with the GS350 AWD? Please help as I need to dump the RX before it self destructs. I am a little concerned as consumer reports dropped the GS AWD off the recommended list.I probably should not be concerned as consumer reports stated the RX was great and it is a true POS., At least mine is.

The GX and RX are both relieable cars, it will not leave you on the side of the road. If you are looking for a car with no minor issues, the GS is not it, keep looking. The GS is a great car beisde all the rattles and brake squeaks. Once you get those fix by the dealer, its a great car. If I were you, I would look outside Lexus.

He'll just keep trading his cars, losing money, because no car is perfect.
