This is my 5th Lexus. I cannot find better service in any other brand. Safety features really protect life. The car is fast, safe, luxurious, dependable and fun to drive. The sound of the engine rocks. I do not like the run flat tires. They do not hold as well as the high performance ones. The fact of driving without a spare is worrisome. I made a trip recently in which the nearest facility that could fix a run flat was greater than the range that you can run flat your tires. I bought a spare and when the present tires are done, I am getting high performance tires, which is what this vehicle needs.

This is very comfortable car and very fun to drive. If you are not used to driving a powerful car, be very careful on the acceleration pedal and don't blink. It goes to 100 MPH in an instant. If you have teen-agers in your household, beware, don't let them drive it. It tempts you to drag race competition. Sound system is excellent and I like the folding side mirrors too, this help side swatting or accidents when moving the car to and from tight spaces such as my house garage.

Quality is good overall, but not as good as the 2001 GS430 we owned before. Fairly quick sport sedan. On hard acceleration, you can feel the lag while the computer tries to configure cam timing, fuel mapping, etc. The GS engine is de-tuned 40 hp from the LS460 version, so there is 10% left on the table; seems like a waste. Ten-quart oil changes are a little costly, but maybe that allows for a “reserve” since the engine uses 2+ quarts in a 5,000 mile service interval. New spark plugs at 120,000 miles pepped it up some. Failed ignition coil at 128,000 was a surprise. I really expected more than that from Lexus, but it’s still a decent car I suppose. ABS unit failed at 154,000 miles. $3000 for a new part, has to be programmed with special software to bleed brakes. Forget about a used one; they all fail, apparently. Complete BS. I couldn’t see putting $4,000 in a car worth $5,000 fixed, so traded in on a 2019 CPO NX300.

I've been a Toyota fan for many years and just moved "up" to a Lexus GS 460. The build quality, luxury features, and performance of this car are simply remarkable. I chose it over a competitive BMW model after test- driving both. I couldn't be more pleased.

Just picked it up by trading 06 GS 300 AWD. Considered BMW 335 (too small) and 535 (too much) before driving GS 460. Tried GS 450h but did not like CVT. 8 speed transmission on GS shifts smooth up and down and so far never seems to hunt for right gear. Using 18 inch accessory wheels with Dunlop M3 run flat dedicagted snow tires in Minnesota. So far better than the average RWD car with snow and ice. Like the new soft leather seats, upgraded stereo. Expect no problems. Fast car, good gas mileage (for V8) and no iDrive!
