For those of you who own the GS300 awd or the M35x, how did it do in snow conditions last winter? Thanks!

I drove the '07 M35X for the first time today. Nice...really nice. I've been driving a Lexus GS300 since I bought it new in 1998. It has been a terrific car and the dealer has been nothing short of spectacular. I could hardly believe I was test-driving an Infiniti but... The M was just a better feel all the way around. Certainly the NAV system was better. As a matter of fact, all the controls were easier to see and easier to access. The only thing better on the Lexus was the gas mileage and that is a bit of a guilt issue. I'll probably go for the M in a month or so. Too many items in the plus column to ignore.

It's a pleasure all of the time in just about every way. Pete

The Lexus has the same issues (ive been told by my two associates who own the GS) I think nothing will handle better than the Audi in this class.

Replying to: pete_l_p (Sep 16, 2006 5:28 pm) Pete, do you feel that the majority of issues that owners bring up on this site are isolated issues? The dealers I've been to seem to have it pretty much all together...very service oriented, and I'm feeling pretty confident about the service network.

Replying to: shermanl (Sep 19, 2006 4:28 pm) Sherman I think the issues that show are pretty isolated, but of course if a few people see their own problem a few times, they may feel otherwise. The car has been perfect for me in every way. I think the most accurate gage of reliability comes from broader surveys. Consumer Reports annual owner satisfaction survey (April 2006) asks OWNERS to rate their satisfaction with their own cars. The question they ask for this survey, as always, is: "Would you buy this car again?" The Infiniti M35/M45 came out number 1 with the highest percentage of satisfied owners of any luxury car on the road. The Survey lists the following cars (Shown next to the percentage of owners who would buy it again.) * 92% - Infiniti M35/M45 * 89% - Lexus GS300/GS430 * 89% - Lexus LS430 * 80% - Audi A6 sedan (V6) * 78% - Acura RL * 75% - Jaguar XJ Series * 75% - Audi A8 * 72% - BMW 5 Series (V8) * 70% - Lincoln Town Car * 69% - BMW 5 Series (6-cyl.) * 67% - Cadillac STS * 64% - BMW 7 Series * 63% - Jaguar S-Type * 62% - Mercedes-Benz E-Class If you subscribe to consumer reports on-line, you can find the survey here.

I dont know what you guys are talking about, im 6'3 200 and the Lexus has plenty of space for me. I also dont get the whole "feeling" of the road deal, how often are you racing around that you would need or for that matter want to "feel" the road. The lexus is smooth and quiet as can be and I love that about it.
