Review

I just purchased this car and I have to tell you that I love it. I was driving a 2006 Ford 500 AWD and this is light years beyond what I ever expected. My mother has always loved the Lexus product, I now know why. It handles like it is on rails, the power is wonderful and the toys make driving it fun.

Favorite Features

I love the push button start, color (Blue), handling, suspension, luxury feel and finish.

Suggested Improvements

Just a few 1. Make trunk larger, the opening is tiny. 2. More room in back seat 3. The Nav system stinks - I can give better directions than that thing can. Overall though I love this car.

Lexus Super Car

Review

I've lived the German car experience and roughed it out with _MW. For those of you seeking a world-class supercar, the Lexus GS 350 AWD is clearly a remarkable machine. The performance is exceptional, particularly when one hits the open highway and engages the "power" mode-- that's when all he__ breaks loose. For those of you seeking a remarkable audio experience, the 330 watt Mark Levinson sound system is over the top...exceeding the audio quality of the majority of high-end home systems. The 14 speakers will definitely enhance your listening experience. The AWD is exceptional in the snow. After buying the GS in February, it easily proved itself on a steep snow- covered hill. Buy it!

Favorite Features

Acceleration in power mode; interior, exterior styling, Mark Levinson sound system...everything about the car.

Review

I owned a Volvo S80 T-6 then a Volvo S80 V-8 AWD before trading the for the GS350. Yes, I miss the V-8 growl of the Volvo, but that's all. The GS is superior in every regard and I only sacrificed 8HP. The GS is much easier to live with having 225 series tires rather than the much softer and lower profile 245's on the Volvo. I loved my Volvo, but I knew everyone in the dealer's service department by name. I experience Lexus reliability with my GS. Routine maintenance and that's it. The GS is fun the drive, corners like a cat, and scoots like a scalded dog.

Favorite Features

Flawless. Fit and finish is second to none. Drivetrain is smooth and the interior is exceedingly quiet.

Suggested Improvements

Adaptive cruise control on a car like this s/b standard equipment. It lacks some trunk space, too, but I'm having to look very hard for ways to improve this ride.

Review

Smooth, Powerful, "silky". The perfect combination of sports performance with 5.7 sec, 0 to 60 from 303 HP and a sumptuous, quiet interior.

Favorite Features

Powerful V6 with 25 mpg commuting! Quiet, smooth, minimum road noise. Very comfortable, ventilated seats.

Suggested Improvements

Add live traffic to Navigation System. Enlarge the trunk opening. Raise ground clearance 1".

Lexus of Ann Arbor and my GS350

Review

I came out of a 2008 BMW 535i xDrive prior to this. I was told by my BMW dealer that the GS350 AWD would be a disappointment in comparison. He could not have been more wrong. Everything about this car handles better. Although the performance may be a bit less than the 535i, I don't miss it at all. The GS is tighter and the luxury aspect is much better. Lexus of Ann Arbor has been able to answer all my questions and they seem to know a lot more than the BMW people did. This is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I tend to only keep cars for about 2 years, I am already excited to see what Lexus does to make this vehicle even better. I am very happy and would strongly recommend!

Favorite Features

Just the overall vehicle. The feel of it. It has all the toys, but so did my BMW, this car just feels more solid, more high end. The difference is incredible. That was my 2nd 5 series BMW, by the way, so I was fooled twice before, NOT AGAIN! I am a Lexus owner and proud to be now.

Suggested Improvements

As I mentioned, I don't notice a huge horsepower difference, but I always like lots of ponies. Very happy with the car, best car I have ever had.
