2010 Lexus GS 350 Consumer Reviews

Too many issues for the money

Vehicle

2010 Lexus GS 350 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Dash squeak in the cold, there is a coolant smell every once in a while and in the summer if you have the windows down there is a sulfur smell coming from the exhaust. This is a nice car, but with the amount of issues and the price I would never recommend it. Also I have noticed that Lexus dealers are very quick to deny or just use the excuse that its not a big deal when they are approached with issues. Very disappointed in the car and in the way Lexus deals with issues.

So-so audio

Vehicle

2010 Lexus GS 350 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

This is my first Japanese luxury car, coming out of 2 Audis and 1 MB. Though it doesn't have the tight road feel of the German cars, it blows them away with the technology, rear camera, parktronic and nav. But, having said that the audio sound system is disappointing, We don't have the Mark Levenson system. Our sound system doesn't have the fullness or the sharpness of even the basic systems in the German cars I have had. You shouldn't have to pay an extra $2,000 to get a really great sound in a $50,000+ luxury car.

MPG a big problem!

Vehicle

2010 Lexus GS 350 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I have never checked the mpg on a car in 40 years of driving. I complained to the dealer from day one and am still trying to get some help. My average is about 13 mpg freeway or city streets got it up to 15 mpg on the road. I have heard really stupid comments from Lexus, but I am concerned, and if no other drivers have this problem guess it must be the car and a problem. If other drivers (cars) do have the problem I would really like to know. 3000 miles at present on the car

Windshield wipers

Vehicle

2010 Lexus GS 350 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I just had 1,000 checkup and asked them to adjust wipers to lower or disappearing level. I was told they are in Summer Mode which is 1" from the tip of the wiper to the bottom of the windshield glass on driver's side and 2" etc. on the passenger side. Winter Mode keeps they UP EVEN HIGHER! Yet, in all photos of GS350 MODEL they either show it at angles that don't reveal this DESIGN FLAW or when you do see a photo clearly displaying the hood and the entire front windshield you do NOT SEE THE WIPERS! I can only conclude that Toyota has deceived us again by RETOUCHING THEIR PHOTOS. I welcome other GS350 owners comments.

Poor highway speed handling

Vehicle

2010 Lexus GS 350 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Have complained about wandering at highway speeds. Car requires continuous steering corrections. Factory rep checked, realigned and dealer has changed tire brands. Still the same. I don't trust Lexus (aka Toyota) to admit any problem especially since factory rep says he has never heard of any probs like this. He admitted he never reads Lexus sites. Relationship between electric steering, wheel/tire and suspension doesn't seem to be near as precise as my mbz clk500 but this car is as my wife describes: "jittery." I don't Dare take my eyes of the road for a second. I might end up three feet into another lane or shoulder of the road. Have 7,500 miles on odo.

Nice Car, Not a Race car

Vehicle

2010 Lexus GS 350 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

1000 Mile check up just done, nothing wrong. Reset computer options @ dealer to our preference ( 5 pages of options). Park assist a must as well as navigation with back up camera. Car has very good comfort programing. Such as Interior lights come on @ night when car is approached with transponder. Nag only goes to night mode when it is dark outside lights on or off. Flawless. Comfort car not a race car though. 3500 cc direct injection engine AWD gets 20 mpg city (all our miles are city) 2 mpg better than our 07 Honda Accord V6 3000cc. The $52K is a bargain compare to Jaguar 60K, BMW 65K, Mercedes 65K, or Audi A6 60K for the features and comfort. COMFORT!

A nice, luxury car at a fair price.

Vehicle

2010 Lexus GS 350 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

Very enjoyable car. Compared with an Acura RL, Infiniti M and the new Buick LaCrosse. If the LaCrosse was RWD & had just a a few more luxury features, that would have been the car to own at $6,000 less. Nevertheless, very happy with the GS. Performance is great. Good time to buy a loaded GS as the 2011 model is coming soon with a re-design. 15 MPG in real world city driving and 29 MPG hwy driving at 65 MPG with a/c on.

Excellent but miss my SUV

Vehicle

2010 Lexus GS 350 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

I purchased this Lexus in Dec, 2009 and traded in my 2007 Acura MDX. I really miss having an SUV. If you like sedans, this car is excellent. The car is super quiet and the ride is very comfortable. No problems at low or high speed. Equp.with Dunlop tires. The AWD is fantastic and this year was a good one to test this car with all the snow we had. Breaks and power steering are good with no issues. I only have 3200 miles but so far Lexus gets an A+

2010 lexus gs350 2wheel drive

Vehicle

2010 Lexus GS 350 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

have put 2300 miles and have found this car is unpredictable at highway speeds over 60mph and requires constant,repeat, constant steering adjustments to keep it going in a straight direction. may be the yokohama tires on 18" wheels and dealer is going to replace with michelins. if problem continues then i will have to assume it must be a problem with design as in the electric power steering. hoping not! rides very well but am going to investigate available optional sway bars. do not agree with some reviews that brakes are touchy. this baby stops! too much shifting with the 6 speed tranny. it shifts 3 times by 30mph and upshifts a lot even when you are just moderately accelerating.

Wonderful luxury sedan!

Vehicle

2010 Lexus GS 350 4dr Sedan AWD (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

Review

This is probably the best sedan I've ever owned. The engine is smooth, quiet and powerful. The ride is just right, not too soft..not too hard. The build quality of this automobile sets it apart from the other sedans in this class.
