Welcome to the forum.
The GS is a fine choice, hopefully you'll decide it's for you and get one bought.
Others have come asking about GSs so have a read around. In brief, they're the last version of the 42 and are a sportier version, not available in manual. The gearbox is a bit marmite and not anywhere near as good as the more modern paddle shift. If a stop-start daily commute is it's primary role, probably not an ideal car.
Having said that, they're incredibly usable and surprisingly practical. I've had mine 3 and a half years and while it's not cheap to maintain, it's been as reliable or more so than pretty much every car I've owned.
There's not lots of choice on specs, and in reality your choice will be governed by what's for sale at the time (dependant on how patient you are) as there are rarely more than 8-10 cars for sale at any time. An MC Victory (rare!) is a GS with knobs on.
And the golden rule - always get the car inspected.
like many in here, I could bleat on about the GS for a long time. Have a read, have a drive and come back with questions if it looks like the car for you. There's some superb knowledge in here and, amazingly, it's generally free (might cost a beer at a meet).
Cheers

Thanks Woody, I used to own a e46 M3 with SMG2 - people used to complain its very clunky but I loved it - does anyone know how the GS box compares?
Welcome kman.
Love your work (photos). If i was in your neck of the woods I would get you to photograph my car.
Perhaps you can give us some photography tips
Thanks, more than happy to help!
