Gadget-packed, comfortable ride, different to the usual German saloons, hybrid version available

Thirsty petrol engines, no diesel engine available, overly assisted steering feel

The Lexus GS – an alternative to the likes of the BMW 5-Series – has never been as common as its German counterparts. But those who prefer something different will find the Lexus a well equipped and refined alternative with great levels of standard equipment. It's packed with cutting edge technology too - there's even a hybrid option in the form of the GS450h. It features an electric motor alongside the conventional petrol engine, meaning outstanding performance but low emissions. Buying from Lexus dealers means you'll be getting the best service around - the company repeatdly tops nearly every customer service poll, both here and in the US. However, there's no diesel option and none of the petrols are particularly economical.
