Didn’t know this one had the cooling seats too. Got a 2014 GS350, but if you buy the 3rd gen and update the wheels, sound system (if previously abused), lip/bumper, and clean the headlights, it’s as good as new! With a bit of effort this is a great car for the low. The v8 is as fast as the newer v6 too but v6 gets around 25mpg. New one also gets lane assist but if you don’t want that buy older

[@marlonbaird6070]

Might be the same but torque and top end makes up for that as well as the V8 sound

[@stocksxbondage]

@@marlonbaird6070 idk, the v6 is lighter. V8 feels different but is heavier. Performance is about an even trade off and neither are true sports cars. Upgrade the exhaust on the v6 and it sounds like a v8. It’s as throaty as a GT mustang. Listen to like a Lotus Evora which basically has the same v6 with sporty exhaust (tuned, and supercharged too). V8 sounds like an American muscle car but a good 6 cylinder sounds like F1. I’ve had a 5.0 v8 and I’d still take a high performance v6 sound over it as that race car sound climbs and the v8 is so consistent, the noise can get boring to live with as it sounds the same even when you push it. In short, if they were singers, v8 has bass and vibrato but v6 has range. Personal preference
