Used 2008 Lexus GS 450h Consumer Reviews
My new GS 450h
I just picked up my GS 450h last week and can already say that I love the car. The performance is amazing and I give Lexus high marks for the quality of the car. I traded in a 2002 GS 430, which I was extremely happy with, but this car has it beat in every category. This is the most fun I've had driving a car.
Have a 2000 911 Carrera 4 Love my GSh 07 450 More.
I am so much more into driving my GSh than my 911 I just find it so much better for comfort and when it comes to handling its really a close contender in the city. Stereo is second to none from factory. Cooled seats are the bomb and didn't come in my porsche and its something that I just love. If I head up to Whistler I take the Porsche for the fun driving and that is Porsche. 8 out of 10 times its the GSh.

Engineering Masterpiece
I understand the lack of trunk space - where else to put the battery. Worst mileage is around town at 23; best mileage 28.5 at avg. 75 mph on a 500 mile trip. Navigation system and electronics, particularly LED interior ligthing, are way ahead of competitors. This one was equipped with the collision avoidance package - speed matching on cruise takes some getting used to but is easy to over ride with the gas pedal. I honestly believe you could set the cruise at 80 and head for a obstacle or wall and the system would stop the car well short of it.
Fuel Economy and Performance!
This is a classy sedan. Mine was fully loaded. avg 27mpg with 0-60 in 5 seconds. This is a quiet ride with smart suspension and tight handling. The GS450h was designed to compete with BMW 8 series and it certain achieved it!

This Hybrid is a Stealth Sleeper
We bought two used GS450s and have been extremely happy with their performance, reliability and great fuel economy. The price we paid for them was money well spent. The first one has now logged over 410,000 kms and the second one is just over 320,000 kms with no engine/transmission repairs required. We did have to have the Hybrid battery replaced at about 390,000 kms, which was not unexpected. The GS450 Hybrid has been an excellent choice for our family.
