Used 2019 Lexus GS 350 Sedan Consumer Reviews
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.

Reliable car, just like all other Lexus
Very nice build, the Lexus GS is made in mainland Japan factory. The quality control they have is absolutely wonderful. The only down side might be overseas parts supplies. If you hit a deer (I never did :) u might need to wait for a while for the parts to come, since most of the US dealers don’t have much in stock. The ride is great, I took my 350 to a 4700miles road trip last year. I have to said it is a very pleasure trip.

Top Notch!
One of the best vehicles I've driven. Athletic handeling, brakes, awesome sound system and tech, lux materials (paint, trim, - interior and exterior) that will last, well built and reliable engine (that separates a real car from imitators), and excellent safety features. Way underrated. This car is a dream drive and it will get you there without having to spend time and money in the repair shop. Bring it back Lexus!

GS 350 F Sport is the bomb
As an Lexus LS owner for the past 15 years I decided to downsize a little bit. I looked at BMW, Audi and MBZ but decided on this Lexus because of the local Lexus service. I found my past Lexus's to be very reliable but when it needed something more than an oil change I went to the local Lexus dealer. Their personnel were helpful and didn't try to set me up to service I did not need.I have had the F Sport for a month now and am very pleased with it. It handles well. The fuel economy is excellent...especially on highway driving. I like the red leather seats. This car is sexy.
