Purchased a Lexus Platinum Warranty, never used it, just oil change and tires. Only 700 imported in '09, still driving it 77K later, great torque & handling esp. in both sport mode & in electric pwr boost mode. Drives and handles like some of my favorite V8 BMW sedans, not your typical soft Lexus ride. Each GS450H is max optioned and it is one of the best cars I have ever owned. The trunk is a bit smaller, so drive it first in all modes, then look at the trunk before you get yours.

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.

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 car has a quiet engine, very comfortable interior, and can go from 0-60 in 5.2 sec. It has superior handling and excellent sound system.

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.
What an awesome car

I just drove my car home last night and still have to set up all the bells and whistles, but what a lot of fun just driving has been for 24 hrs. This car is smoking fast and the power is so smooth and linear - it just keeps pulling until you are well over 100.
Amazing Performance/ Poor Cabin Usablity

Hits: Car performs great lost of power and quality all over, Nice features (when you can use them). Clean lines - Lexus legacy luxury in a sport sedan. Great car !! A+++ Misses: dash usablity. Lock out when driving of features on most items, song list of CDs. (Only can play MP3 CDs (255 song limit) NO DVD MP3 even though it is a DVD changer.) Radio list remains at speed (why is this so different than a CD list I have no idea). 2007 Acura MDX have it right when it comes to the Glass Dash. You can use the features as expected. Lexus (Toyota) has taken conservative to a new level. I hope they lighten up and come up with a software update. (I'll even sign a waiver.) PLEASE LEXUS fix this!
Lexus GS 450h - Nice but not great

I received one of the first Lexus GS 450h hybrid sedans. I had been driving an LS model. The GS definitely feels like a step down in luxury. I have been getting a disappointing 20-21 miles per gallon. The interior feels cramped compared to the LS. However, the GS hybrid has plenty of power and is fun to drive. I would think twice before spending the extra money to get the hybrid model of this car.

The main two things you should know about this vehicle is the small trunk space which everyone warned me about and it has no spare tire so you will need runflat tires. After having the car for over a year it has had very little problems except for the CD and radio stop playing simultaneously. Also the maintenance schedule on these cars are not comparable to other luxury sedans of this year . You have to change the oil every three months and not sure about the tuneups but I know it is not 100,000 miles. The car is a very comfortable and steady ride extremely fast and easy to drive with the power mode settings and handling settings . Overall it's a 8.5 out of a 10
