2006 Lexus GS 430

2006 Lexus GS 430 Test Drive

Call us biased, but we think the redesigned GS is one of the best luxury sedans on the market.

Should You Buy This Car?

Here's another bias of this reviewer: Don't take only my advice when it comes to buying a car. It's a huge expenditure. Would you buy $50,000 of stock based on one guy's advice? I hope not. But unlike stock, when buying a car there's one person's opinion that matters more than that of the expert: yours.

So, don't you dare buy a GS, or the really great Acura RL or a BMW 530i, which we also dig wholeheartedly, without first TEST DRIVING them. I don't mean just sitting in a car at the dealer. Drive it. Would you pay the bill at a restaurant without eating? No. So why buy a car without driving it first? And yet millions of cars are sold each year in this country without a test drive. Don't be one of those people. Be smart, do your homework. That's the very best advice I can offer, even about a Lexus that's darned near perfect.
