Disappointed
I love the styling of my car and industry leading dealership experience. No one treats you better. I remain severely disappointed with the iPod interface. It's ugly (when it works at all) and totally unintuitive. I've been in several $20K cars that do it WAY better. The original Yokohama tires fell apart at only 30K with the plies on two of them completely separating requiring all 4 to be replaced way sooner than they should have been.
Research thoroughly before purchasing
I enjoyed driving this vehicle and listening to a sound system that was second to none. However, I experienced several costly, nagging issues. I dealt with the squeaky brakes and cracking sound on dashboard as other consumers mentioned, but other issues such as AC Evap Port clogging which leaked water onto the interior floorboards ($1000 to fix clog and dry carpet), ignition switch that caused the car to restart when attempting to turn the car off (Lexus never determined the appropriate repair) and the peeling of the drip mold (quoted as a $1200 repair). I view this as poor craftsmanship. Had I seen a review like this prior to purchasing, I would have purchased another vehicle. I got rid of mine this year after owning it for a year. 2007 with 95K miles. Smh

Reliability is Artifically High
While it has great performance, the dealership and the Lexus extended warranty are worthless. Rattles that I say exist are either can't be duplicated or if found, not covered under warranty (have to pay for diagnostics.) Complained about a rattle when starting the car but dealership could not duplicate. This year voila! - the rattle is a recall item which we received no notification but discovered when getting serviced at the dealer. Reliability- if they can't find it its not a problem - until the warranty runs out.
3RD LEXUS GS
I have had 3 Lexus GS's now and I do say that I love Lexus. Although I do have dash noise as well and I there navigation is unreliable. I have to buy another navigation separate because this one is too hard to function and never takes you in the right place or takes you way out of the way of where you should be going. Also the leather seats seem cheaply painted. I have had the color come off a few times and I wasn't very impressed. But I will say that they drive great and my AWD 350 does get through the snow very well. As far as the Bluetooth I have had no problems I think people are not smart enough to work it... I love mine! Nice looking car as well. But time for something different!
My First Lexus
This is my first Lexus, a GS 350. My previous cars were 335 BMW cpe and 330 BMW, and before those an '05 Viper (can't compare that beast). I test drove the RL, MB 350 and the BMW 550. I made my choice based on comfort, ride, looks and price. It was a toss up with the MB but I took the Lexus at 5k cheaper and w/ more equip. My car was hard to find w/ the ML stereo, silver ext and blk int and only two were available in the entire state with that setup. So far it's great! The Nav blows the BMW iDrive away and so easy to use. The seats are so comfortable. Hope this helps!
