The Importance of Being GS

Ideally designed as a conservative, red-state, luxury performance car, the AWD GS 350 looks modest in every direction one approaches it, that is until you put it into drive. Then, any notion of modesty slips off, the sports-mode turns up the heat in red, and you leave the ordinary playlist of luxury sports cars behind. It eats Jaguars and Maseratis like so much breakfast cereals. It impales BMWs and Mercedes Benz of similar class like Count Vlad of of Transylvania. And it does so with minimalist effort, as though dropping off the kids uniforms at the cleaners.Nothing about this car speaks of its great style and handling better than owning one and driving and driving and driving. The only drawback is that it is a beast in sheep's clothing. Never knew that gas could be consumed so quickly, by such a fuel efficient engine. But, test drive it. You'll see what I mean.

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.

If you are looking for a quiet , smooth ride with great acceleration this is not for you. I just bought the car and it is pretty noisy. The tires Dunlop Sport max 050 are very noisy tires. You can feel every bit of the road. It averages over 70 decibels and I get 73-75 decibels of road noise. That was a disappointing. Other than that it is great in all respects leave aside the navigation. Oh and no storage for bottles on the side or a compartment for your glasses. I like the car but not the road noise. Seems each Lexus comes with different tires. So check those tires and make sure you have Michelins if you want a quiet ride. After 7 months I feel the car is a bit underpowered on normal drive mode. Only on Sports mode does it feel sporty and powerful enough. My 10 year old Acura MDX feels more powerful and responsive. So I have to drive it in Sports mode most of the time to feel somewhat good about driving it. After 1 year , I do find the car underpowered in normal mode. I now drive in sports mode all the time and it’s good. After 2 years my feelings are the same. It’s an underpowered car which is basically a city car. After one hour of driving you need to stretch since it starts to hurt. After 3 years the car has grown on me. I realized that the tires have to be inflated with just the right amount of air and then the car drives like a dream. If tires pressure is low then it starts to drag very quickly. All in all it’s a good car. My only complaint with the car after 3.5 years is uncomfortable seats. You cannot drive more than an hour without your butt hurting or going numb - something I have never faced in my Acura. So for me this remains a city car and I don’t take it for long drives. After 6 years, the car has grown on me and I have found a way to make sure it drives well. Tire pressure is key and regular oil changes and it does a good job and decent pick up and a good ride. And Lexus reliability is great.

All around fantastic car

I owned a ES300 for 15 years and loved the entire experience, including the <$1000 on non-maintenance repairs in 200,000 miles, so I bought a GS350 this time around. Of course the technology leap is huge, but I am getting the same great feeling about the car as my last Lexus experience. Build quality, ride quality, (with more power and handling this time around), comfort and features are all fantastic. Love this car.

Love this car!!! Right at 2K with only good things to say. Work at an airport and often driving near jet aircraft. Amazingly quite with the windows up!! Fun to enter a freeway in Sport Mode. Great ride at freeway speeds with Mark Levinson sound system! Drivers seats so comfortable, have to remind myself I'm on the freeway and not in my living room. Not sure I'll ever learn and use all the technology built into the car but amazed at what I've learned so far. Love this car!!
