Not to rain on anyone's parade, but unless you are Peasodos, the car does not contain the auto folding mirrors, trunk closing, SD Navigation, Siri eyes free, or auto seat heat/cooling selection. I have a 2013, so I don't really miss what I never had, but there were slight upgrades done in 2014 and 2015 before the MMC of 2016. Still a fun car to drive.

yeah don’t see to many on the road even on auto trader where I bought it from only maybe six on sale. Mine doesn’t have the radar cruise or sunroof has pretty much everything else.
car insurance £2000 😪

Is it worth me spending money to get this tire light off the dashboard prev owner said tire pressure sensor needs coding which I don’t know he he honest.

its fast I’ve tried eco mode and Normal mode last 4 weeks only will try sports mode soon. I find the steering to light compared to Audi but I read sports mode steering gets better.


the Mark Levinson system is a different level of greatness compared to my audis boses that was good.

Yesterday I just purchased a Sandisk 64gig flash stick for music can’t complain my Audi only took 4gig card max lol


also I in blackwall tunnel have to drive in left hand lane only the car is to big to Keep in lane on the right lane.

In Japan, there are only 4 different grades of the GS450h.

Base, Version I, Version L and F Sport.

No one buys the Base, as it has cloth seats.

But they are better equipped in general than export GS's. For example, all come with triple LED beam headlights, 12" Nav, Nano A/C, AVS Suspension, Heated/Cooled Seats, Auto Folding Mirrors, HDD/DVD navigation, Headlight Washers...

Version I, L and F Sport all has rear seat manual blinds. Version L can be equipped with Night Vision and LKA.

Cloth seats? Wonder if those will be a big ticket model for import when they hit 25... that would be the funkiest Cars & Coffee mobile on the planet.

They are very high quality cloths for people who doesn’t want leather. Poor resale value as people think it doesn’t belong in a luxury car but it’s more quieter and more comfortable than leather IMO.

The price is too high. This dealer hasn't only dropped $4000 since it was advertised 6 months ago.
