If you think Lexus couldn't make a proper, fun to drive sports sedan, the latest gen GS350 F-Sport is the one that finally gets it right. Quick, precise steering, grippy roadholding, and an engine that loves to rev and hold gear, is where the story begins. With the F-sport package's 18-way seats to hold you in place, accompanied with bigger brakes, adjustable dampers, and aggressive throttle mapping, "sport +" makes this car feel smaller than it is when you're hustling along. Basically what BMW used to be in its hey-day, Lexus has targeted with this car. It's back seat is a good size, though not as large as say, the current E-class Benz. The mouse based entertainment system takes some getting used to, but works fine otherwise, and voice-command is vastly improved from earlier iterations. The icing on the cake was the price of the '15's. The '16's were trickling in with some minor styling tweaks, but the '15s were thus getting hefty discounts across the board. It made selecting this car a no-brainer.

I have had a 2015 GS 350 which I lost to hurricane Harvey and replaced it with a 2015 GS 350 F-sport with Mark Levinson sound system, and a few other options. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the first one because of the lack of sporty handling. I had previously had an Infiniti M35, 2008 model with 20 inch wheels which handled magnificently. The larger wheels and larger tires on the F sport and the sportier steering and suspension made huge difference for me. I test drove a 2015 Audi A6 with 20 inch wheels and although acceleration was better, I found ride, even in comfort mode somewhat punishing. And the Audi system was truly frightening and non intuitive. To put on a radio station There were menus within menus within menu. The motorized screen seemed hokey and trouble prone. The GS motorized rear sunshade makes huge difference in heat of summer, much more than I expected. The regular GS radio is great except for bass, I had to add a subwoofer to listen, the Mark Levinson system superb, significantly better than the ML system on the IS, which I also drove. In sport plus mode very similar to IS, however in Normal mode the comfort of the GS is far superior. I plan on keeping this car for a long time. Could be better on gas mileage, but used turbo F sports were not available. I have heard so many complaints about BMW reliability did not want to test drive one. Next car will be electric. Fine way to say goodbye to gasoline engine!!! If you are thinking of a GS F sport I don’t think you will be sorry.

But embarrassing electronics. The navi and entertainment user interface is a joke. And it takes two screens just to toggle AC on or off. Truly embarrassing. But the car is bank vault quiet AND handles amazingly well. Smokes the 5 series and has a nice tendency to oversteer, like a great drivers car.

A few years ago I bought my wife a 2015 GS 350 - Certified Pre Owned. I think that this is a great way to go. The car had around 30,000 miles on it and due to the CPO program it came with several free services. I paid around $30,000 out the door. My wife is not a car enthusiast - she likes a car that is reliable, luxurious and isolated, and she likes a good dealer experience. I think that this is the perfect car for her. Previously, she owned a 2008 Infiniti M35 and then a 2012 Volvo S60. I have owned a Mercedes SLK230 and a BMW 335i. In my experience, a lot of German cars tend to start having issues around 80,000 miles, which is when I tend to get rid of them. However, this Lexus should have no problem going to 160-200k miles with almost no problems. It has been my experience that once a car starts having problems they just keep happening. So if you think about comparing this GS350 to a German car (Audi, BMW, Mercedes), I think it is fair to say that you will get 50-100% more "reliable usage" out of this car. So if you look at it that way, buying a 3 year old Lexus is a lot like buying a brand new german car for half the price. Now I would be the first person to admit that the Germans make a car that is more fun to drive. However, I think that for a person looking to own a car until it is 7-10 years old, this Lexus will be dramatically cheaper than its competitors, especially if you buy a CPO car.

I have a 2015 lexus gs 350 with the fsport package with Mark Levinson sound, park assist and blind spot monitoring. So far it’s been a good car. The car is very quiet and well built. The handling and steering are superb (in sport plus mode). I have taken it on a 2000 miles summer road trip and it performed flawlessly. The seats are comfortable and the ride is soft and quiet, an excellent highway cruiser. I also like the interior styling (red leather), very comfortable, soft and luxury. The multimedia control is a little difficult to use, you have to finest it. So far no issues with this car. I bought it because of Lexus reliability but now I love the Lexus luxury a lot more.
