Beautiful, sporty car with a few things missing
I’ve had my GS 350 F Sport AWD fora year and a half now and it is without question a beautiful car—fast and luxurious; a real head turner. As you know, Lexus only makes luxury vehicles so if you think a loaded Camry is the equivalent of, say, a Lexus EX 350, it’s not. I’ve driven them both. You can load a car up but it’s still essentially the same car with leather and some tech features. Lexus (Infinity, etc) are born and bred luxury cars. The GS 350 F Sport has the advantage of being both sporty and luxurious. I can't really speak to the mileage yet because it's so new. I'm getting about 17 mpg city. For those of us who’ve had sports cars, the GS 350 F Sport is a natural evolution. Additionally, the Lexus buying or leasing experience is superior. They are very fair and easy to work with. You don’t leave thinking you could have done better. These numerous benefits aside, I’m surprised at some of the features the car DOESN’T have. I traded in my 2013 Ford Fusion SE Hybrid because although it looked sporty and had luxury pretentions, such as leather seats, it was neither sporty (as in fast with good handling), or luxurious. What it did have that I will miss are: • Blind spot warning in both side mirrors • Rear parking sensors that beep as you get closer • Touch screen radio with channel identifier This last point may seem small but in real life it’s very nice. The Ford was a very uncomplicated system that would let you touch the station you want instead of scrolling through the channels. In addition, it would label each Serius station (Howard Stern, Highway, Lithium, Classic Vinyl, etc) instead of just giving the preset number, which requires you to memorize what station they represent. The sticker on the Lexus is $25,000 more than the Fusion. Lexus ought to rethink these things and give the driver everything a $57,000 car can offer. I suppose if you've never has these features you won't miss them, but they should be standard. **Update. Now that I've had the car a year and half, I still think it's a very nice car but, to be honest, if the Lexus (or any premium) name doesn't mean that much to you, you can get a very nice sedan with similar features for $20,000 less. I don't mean to be dismissive of this fine car, it's just a personal opinion. My next vehicle will likely be a Jeep.

Quality and reliability
Absolutely love this car, from the quality of the interior to the smoothness of the ride, I’ve owned 2011 350 4matic Mercedes Acura’s and Audi’s a6 s-line. But this Lexus gs350 f-sport well exceeded them all. Japan’s reliability quality and engineering of the lexus is outstanding. I will never look back at anything else, lexus will always be my choice.

Reliability and aesthetically pleasing
Love my 2015 GS 350 F-Sport. It's super smooth, spacious, and sexy. The lights are bright. The infotainment system isn't the best but I mainly stress over the music and that's easy to control once you learn how to properly use it. All the features you would want like BSM, Park assist sensors, reverse camera, rear window shade cover, Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound, etc! Best Vehicle in it's class for reliability and comfort.

not your grandpa's Lexus
Where do I begin.. this car is a DREAM. In the 2+ years I've owned it I have had zero issues. Solidly, well built, handsome interior appointments, and beautifully aggressive exterior styling. Plenty of power to get-up and go, the sound of the V6 rumble is addicting. I've taken it on 4 cross country trips from CA to MN and back, and each time it has been a pleasure. This thing can haul a** as well as cruise like you're in a airline. If you're not pedal to the metal, you can get up to 350 on a tank, straight highway cruising. Otherwise around town the MPG is a bit disappointing around 220 or so on a tank. But I mean hey, this vehicle is WELL worth it and the styling is ageless, someone asked me at the gas station if it was a 2019 model. Plan on keeping this baby for years! I will note - do not purchase a RWD model if you live in snowy climate. If there is snow on the ground you may have to wait till it melts, or is plowed. You will get stuck. Lesson learned.
Second best car I ever owned
Purchased this car for my wife who drove it for 2 years and passed to me after getting 2017 Acura MDX. This GS is simply an outstanding value if you are looking for a luxury sedan but not willing to pay premium for a Benz or BMW or Jaguar. Reliability is second to none. Gas efficiency is excellent. The only couple of cons from me are 1) mouse for instrumentation must be replaced with touch screen. 2) Need to be updated with all the latest safety features. But that goes as a general thing - its been too many years without redesign of entire GS line. From reliability standpoint its great as car is 100% solid. But it's time.
