This car is handling more and more like a German car. Not typical of Japanese car, steering has more feel.

consider the half life

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.

new 2016 GS 350 F Sport + Safety Package

Really fun to drive. Love the F Sport Instrumentation. Like the adaptive cruise and lane keeping. Extremely comfortable front seats and quality of finish and materials is outstanding. Feel like I got a good price since it was a new 2016 at $8000 discount from list. Only one with this equipment I could find. Had wanted a used LS but could not find one with the safety features. Decided to buy this and consider new LS coming out in the fall at a later date.

A Shark

Beautiful finish and exterior. Like a shark-it's quiet comfortable power and control sneaks up on you. Refined luxurious interior. Latest tech.-more than you'll probably ever use. Awesome sound system, steering, brakes, tires, seats, and handling. Test drove competitors - not one of them compared - kept coming back to the GS. Built in is the ultimate test of a quality vehicle -reliability and safety-you've got it here! Lexus bumped themselves up a notch with this car. Find out for yourself and buy it.

a fine luxury vehicle

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.
