Lexus gem GS
This car wasn't selling because the herd mentality is following suvs. So the sedan industry is suffering. The german cars slightly and on paper outperform it, but, and there's a big but, the GS has such a great balance between luxury, performance, and the state of mind of the owner knowing that his hard-earned money's purchase is not going to break. I wouldn.t be feeling too good after wires start melting, and things start falling apart. Yes the infotainment is not as up to date, but the fit and finish, the luxury, and the ride is there along with the dependability which is what an owner cares about most. Take advantage and pick these used and induldge yourselves.

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.

The Un-Lexus
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.

A Downgrade From 2009 Lexus GS!!
What a disappointment. I bought F Sport model expecting vehicle to be at least as nice, comfortable and smooth as prior GS's I've owned. Instead, it is: not fun to drive, wandering all over the lane without constant steering corrections; extremely sensitive to road imperfections like center line reflectors; non-existent "automatic" climate control (need to use manually if you want any comfort); very uncomfortable seats for anyone with good posture who likes to sit up straight (lumbar support pushes lumbar forward but rams head into headrest which is NOT adjustable), I use a seat cushion for any ride over an hour which does block the air cooled seats which don't work that well anyway. Side bolsters are cute but too hot on your legs and sides to use unless you are on a NASCAR test track; a useless GPS map (beautiful display though) and Apple Car Play not available (I just use my iPhone which only requires ONE single phrase input); no center front proximity sensor and no surround camera so extremely easy to ding excessively low front bumper (did this on first day owned). I bought the extended warranty as we have loved all our prior Lexus vehicles. However, I'll be trading this GS F Sport in a year or two. My wife drove GS once and instead of a new RX, promptly traded her old RX in for a new Acura RDX which has none of the above shortcomings. It's too bad as Lexus has lost a 20 year customer who bought two new Lexus vehicles every few years.

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.
