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.

I bought my 2015 GS 350 AWD 3 years old with 15K miles. It is a CPO. I've had it four years and can report that it has been an excellent car. The ride is smooth, the seats are comfortable, and it's a bit larger than other mid-size cars. I'll admit that the electronics took awhile to get used to, but once I did, they are just fine. On the highway, the mileage is 26. Around town, like 22. It drinks premium, which is the only downside, but all offerings in this class drink premium. I am very happy with my choice , and had planned to keep it 6 years, but may consider holding onto it as at 7 years old it only has 63K miles.

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.

2015 GS350 F Sport

Nov2020 - Status is still the same. Great car if you take care of it. May 2020 - we still love this car. 60k miles on it now. During this quarantine we discovered if you don't drive it for a couple of weeks the battery dies. Lexus advised it's because the computers continue to work when it's not driven. Even though they are not pulling much power over a period of time it will drain the battery. November 2019 - we still love this car. No complaints. Everything still works like it should. May 2019 - The below review is still accurate. We still love this car. November 2018 - The below review is still accurate. November 2017 - I still love this car. Quiet, sporty, well built, all-around best sedan I've ever owned. Park Place Lexus in Grapevine, TX made our purchase a very pleasant experience. In and out in about 3 hours, including test drive. The car we chose had only 2000 miles and we paid $16,000 less than a 2016 comparably equipped, just because our vehicle was red. Apparently, people still believe the urban myth that red cars get more tickets, so Park Place was making a deal to move it. This GS is smoother, faster, quieter, and more comfortable than my BMW 330i was. The 6 year unlimited miles warranty on certified Lexus is unbeatable. We originally looked at the RC350 F Sport, but moved the GS for more room and comfort. GS is just as fast anyway, and offers more trunk space for traveling.

Great car

One of the best cars I ever had. Coming from a Cadillac that was a lemon this is very refreshing An all around solid vehicle with no mechanical issues. The navigation and mouse to navigate it has to go. It's the one thing Lexus will change because of the complaints. Other than that. This car rocks!
