Default Asia GS300 RHD

Hi Guys!

I just wanted to share some pictures of my GS300 in Indonesia.
I got this car a while back but dont have time to do any posting.
Either way there is only one Lexus dealer that operates here now (launched in Sept 2007).

Well I wish to hear a review from the owners here about dependability and also what mods do you guys do.
Thanks

Its common to have these kind of garage door and tiled floor but outside we parked 3 other cars (Uncovered). Thanks for the comment guys.
I have one complaint about this car whereby the OEM Tires (Dunlop SP Sport 2050) is really noisy at some concrete esp on some highway.
How does the USDM spec car hold up?
I was just surprised that the oil filter is a catridge filter (paper) unlike the ES that i had (Metal filter).
I am also up for the first oil change. What kind of oil weight should I use? They offer 5W-40 from the dealers but I remember somewhere states they use 5W-30

Yes its not that safe to drive this fancy vehicle to a certain areas but ...... If you go to the "better end" of town, it should be fine plus i rarely drive this out due to its ride height. I have another SUV to drive around every single day.

I believe most people who drive in Indonesia would drive these kind of cars. Sedans are rarely a choice for daily driving.

We consider a lot of thigns when we wish to purchase it.
Considering the E280 price is almost the same with more brand prestige here.
As for the garage, most people has those here.
I will take pics of the garage door when i am free.

Any complaints about noisy tires for this car.
I drove this car out last night and it was very noisy on the concrete asphalt.
And the worse i didnt speed though but the faster I go, the noisier it is.

Either way, I will change the tires once they are done.
I heard these tires wont last long.
