Used 2009 Lexus GS 350 Sedan Consumer Reviews
I love this car
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.
I Love It, to my surprise
I'm a long time BMW 3-series fan. So when I needed to trade up to a bigger car, the natural course of action was to buy the 5-series. But wait. After driving both the 5 series and the GS 350 and comparing all their features, the Lexus made a lot more sense. Granted, the GS-350 is not as fun to drive as the 3-series BMW, but neither was the 5-series, after all they are much bigger cars. Nonetheless, the GS 350 is great to drive, is powerful, handles very well in the snow and is amazingly comfortable. I learned to love it very quickly and look forward to driving it whenever I can.

Good Car With Some Flaws
I really like my 2009 Lexus GS 350 AWD. I like the way it drives, and the feedback that it gives through the steering wheel. The car has an abundance of features like heated and ventilated front seats and a sunroof. My main issue with the car is space. I am 5'11" and the front seat is comfortable for the most part, but the back seat is really tight. The trunk is also on the smaller side. I have sat in small sedans and had about the same or more legroom than what is in my GS. My hood has a little bit of rust and the rims are chipping, but other than those minor inconveniences, the car is issue-free. Another issue I have had with my GS is front-seat comfort. The seats lack support for long-term comfort on long drives, with only a 2 way lumbar adjustment. My final gripe about the GS is the fuel economy. I average around 19 or 20 mpg with mostly city driving, but that's on premium fuel. Gas prices are getting high these days so it's painful to go to the pump. With almost 140,000 miles, it is running strong, and if you don't mind the issues I have brought up, the GS is a comfortable car that is dependable and has nice features.

Great Car!!!
Coming from a Civic Hyrbid this is an obvious step up and away from good gas mileage...I just wanted a larger car and found one that was a leftover 2009 with a 9K discount and could not pass up that offer on a Lexus. Great looking car and fun to drive, nice stereo....still getting used to the gas mileage versus my old hybrid, but that is ok it is still good for a 303 HP AWD vehicle.
Puts the Mercedes 560 SEL to shame
The Lexus dealership is amazing Prestige in NJ Handles on curves like a roller coaster no slip or slide The all wheel drive and the push button for extra power is amazing
