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.

Disappointed - should have gone for Audi or MB

Bought a 2015 CPO F-sport - should have driven it longer than the 15 min. test drive. Very Very disappointed ....I normally keep my cars 6-8 years.....this one I've had 1 month, and cannot wait to trade in for something else......should have gone for an AUdi A4 or MB C300. Here is my view......POSITIVES......- Looks nice, F-Sport adds to the sporty look, quiet on highways and for sure will be extremely reliable having owned toyotas . NEGATIVES - Acceleration is bad, unless driven in Sports/Sports plus mode which kills the gas mileage.....no torque at low speeds and the transmission seems to get stuck in higher gears too long (kinda defeats the purpose of an 8-speed Tranny). Seats are rock solid leather...no comfort at all.....Metallic Gas paddle/Brake look nice but very hard on feet ......handling is so-so, and harsh with the 19 inch wheels......No holder for sun-glasses (really ? my toyota has it) ; no visor extender to block sun (again, my toyota has it).....Complicated electronics....too many menus to go thru for simple tasks.....and the mouse like controller is a PAIN......bottom line - overpriced for what you get.....4-cyl acceleration with 6-cyl gas mileage. Going to trade mine in soon while it is still under CPO warranty.....

Big bones performance- Engine, transmission, handling is wonderful. Technology package is HORRIBLE. Totally unintuitive, completely missed the mark. Can't believe how little thought was put into very basic controls. Disappointed is a complete understatement.
