Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Compared to Mercedes and BMW all the 'bells and whistles' are included as standard. I can't think of anything else you would want to have fitted.
Costs
Service costs are expensive and depreciation is high.

On the road
Driving
Relaxed, luxurious long distance travelling car.
Performance
Brilliant acceleration when required. The fruity engine roar at full throttle is exciting to hear.

Reliability
This is my second GS300SE over 6 years and nothing has ever gone wrong.
