Used 2007 Lexus GS 350 Consumer Reviews
Loving my GS 350
Have been driving my GS 350 for almost 5 months now. Really love driving it and sometimes do not want to get out! Having driven the previous GS 300, this is a completely different animal. Is it perfect - no, not really. However, no car is perfect. Lexus has their shortcomings, even in a $50k vehicle, however, they do what they can to make things right most of the time. I am very happy with my choice and would purchase it again in a heartbeat.
Great vehicle!
Great vehicle. A little more road noise than I was expecting even with the performance tires. Trunk opening is too small. Vehicle handles great, above average acceleration. Nav system is the pits, you need a comp science degree to figure everything out. Also very annoying that you can't operate the GPS Nav while driving. I know it's a safety feature but should be my choice. As is, it takes away at least 50% of its usefulness. Vehicle is just a tad too small for my taste on the interior.

4000 miles in an 07 GS 350
My wife and I just returned from a 4000 mile trip to the California coast in our GS 350. The car met all my expectations, except for a couple of minor shortcomings. The info screen is too complex for my tastes, it keeps my attention too long when I should have my eyes on the road. The other small annoyance was the sometimes hesitation from the 6 speed transmission. This occured mostly with cruise control engaged. When I bought it, it had 18" wheels/tires which are not as smooth as 17s, but are tolerable and help the handling, which is excellent.
350 just right
I test drove all competitors and also the GS 430 - which showed no appreciable performance difference. It is solid, yet responsive, nimble yet glued to the road, beautiful yet subtle, a truly fine car.
Smooth as butter
Have now had my GS 350 AWD for 3 months. Beautiful ride. Smooth as butter, but when floored, one is thrown delightfully back into the seats. I test drove Acura and Infiniti, and there was no comparison in terms of the ride quality (although both were cheaper). The AWD provides superb handling in wet conditions. I have had no noise or rattling problems that others describe. The default surround sound system is superb (I sampled the ML system and would've gotten it if I truly thought there was a difference).
