I FREAKING love this car and there is something a lot of reviewers forget. The climate control is all Auto and it intensifies on the side the Sun hits on the car and also works for the heated and cooled seats. I this would outright last longer than any S-class or BMW. Awesome review as usual
I love that you include night shots!!! Lets you see the cars from a different perspective and you see the lights and how they all look at night!! Bravo!
Beautiful ride. 30 MPG on the highway is really impressive! I'm with you on the rear amenities, though. For $102k, they should at least have peasant blockers in the rear windows.
This is one mighty fine car. But it would be so much nicer with the glass inserts rather than the aluminium one...I also would prefer the non f-sport as I feel it suits the car more. The f-sport grill seems to cheapen the look of the car a fair bit I feel.
@@suhailahmed4449 i owned one, the e-class diesel, and i decided to change the car because it was always broked down, and now i have the GS who never broke down with almost 190.000km
Nice video man. I really like the LS 500 F sport. The power drain is so incredible. But in China we do not have this model. We only have LS 350 and LS 500h. What a shame
OMG! My favorite car reviewer and my favorite car it doesn't get any better. Great in depth review Forrest, quality work as always. Keep up the great work bro.
I got mine.. used.. 2018 F Sport for $71k out of Maryland. Fully loaded without the executive rear package. Which i didnt want or need anyway. Same color as well -) I get more questions asked and head turns than any mercedes, audi or bmw on the road as not many people have this car in my area. Actually, never seen one around my area yet.
In Orange County I thought the Asian community would gobble this up but I’ve only seen 1 in Irvine. Mercedes, BMW, and Range Rover galore over here. I actually thought this wasn’t fully released yet until I saw this video today and it’s November 2019. Lots of other Lexus models every like IS, RX, ES in OC.
The LS sounds fantastic and not fake or monotone, stop picking on the beautiful handsome and aggressive LS .And I think it’s a good idea to pipe in the engine notes for more driving excitement listening to the revs and shifts in Gears
Lexus offers a special backseat package (because China) that has everything you could imagine. Also, the F type is an appearance only package, there are no differences in the suspension tuning.
Appreciate and love the review bro I will say this on some of the comfort features most of the time you're going to window tint the vehicle anyway and will probably never use sun shades. You won't fully loaded go with a higher trim level💯👍👍
You should have reviewed the top of the line LS with all the extra options - Full Massage seats, Kiriko Glasswork with hand-folded Alcantara door panel, right rear full recliner, rear center console control, etc.
I'm almost certain that the heated rear seats and sunshades are exclusive to the ultra luxury models not the F sport models... I think I'm not too sure haha
You sir are correct. As my F Sport, which is the same color combine as he test drives, doesnt need tor come with that package I believe. But TRUST ME, you will get heads turning and questions asked about this car! haha
Take a look at the European/ Australia versions. It’s so much better than our US version. They have better color options and HAS dual rear dvd screens, rear seat sun screen, etc. I dont understand why they left out those options on the North American markets.
Stunningly beautiful? ABSOLUTELY! Cramped, loud engine, no toe space, no head room, unluxurious ride and terrible controls? Yes! Lexus needs to fix this!
I have a 2005 LS and have those missing features in the rear seats such as heated and cooled seats, reclining seats and sunshades. Plus everything else that you mentioned. Funny, they took those away? Maybe it only comes in a certain package.
I have to say, for a $100,000 sedan, I am a little underwhelmed. It is missing a lot to me for a car that is supposed to compete with the s class. I would buy an S Class over this LS. The exterior is beautiful and it does have impressive features on it. It is fast and turns nicely also. I would think that the Mercedes Benz S Class would have more features on this than the LS does. Edit: I would expect to get a V8 egine for this price because you can get a Chrysler V8 for a lot less.
The base S class has a V6 engine (the S450). You can upgrade to a V8 engine (the S560) but it will cost a lot more. The V12 engine models can run up to $200k, so you can't compare the V12 Benz with this LS
I would never buy a German car over a Lexus. I don't like the race car stocky feel, and I don't want spend costly repairs like one usually do on German cars.
2 weeks ago I looked at a 2018 LS500 at my Lexus dealer. 16,500 miles. Sadly, it's interior had issues, the center armrest was broken, letting me see how it was made. Cheap plastic. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. To be fair, it was in the backlot, just taken in off lease. The armrest will be repaired, but, ugh. It had other issues due to the crappy leasee, rear bumper was very obviously damaged, and a number of scrapes down the sides. Again, I'm sure the dealer will address everything, but it left me disappointed.
@@Maxiemilain LS models tend to depreciate faster, in 6 years this will be about 30k-35k with 100,000+ miles which is nothing for a Lexus. Can't wait haha
Yes, it's disappointing to know that a luxury Lexus flagship sedan has no heated/ventilated seats and sun shade. I think you need to option it which is ridiculous. One thing I am not fan of is the Lexus steering wheel styling it's so basic but the exterior look is beautiful.
Johnny Tampocao same thing I said. That steering wheel looks so plain and doesn’t fit the car, and I think the interior could use some extra styling like the exterior. Otherwise this is a very striking car in person.
Why do you have to say Japanese coolest sedan??If it was a Mercedes,BMW it Audi,will you say Germany coolest sedan??You guys need to be fair with your reviews. Lexus are better than German cars anyday.
19:07. U r right. No excuse for less features. Fsport is more like Fstupid. They think that s as long as they throw the useless term “sport” in the name they can fool enough customers into being satisfied with less. And that engine is TO DAMN LOUD.
ES doesn’t even come close to this in terms of looks, power, smoothness, comfort, luxury, road presence. ES is based on the Camry, LS on the other hand is something else.
Why did lexus change the entire ls line up into basically a sports car. They already have a sports car in their line up. I have owned 5 ls and the ride in this one is harsh on bumpy roads. Because of the state of this countrys infrastructure i shall hold on to my 2017 its much quieter and smoother engine and cabin.
Francis Fernandes So you can tell right off the bat what’s Lexus and Toyota soon as you take one for a ride cuz the former is definitely more upscale, having better ride quality, right?
What? No heated or Cooled seats and no side window screens and rear seats that don't recline. I thought that this was a Top of The Line Lexus. I don't believe that this is on par with Mercedes, BMW, Audi
happy welshguy I don’t think that option is available on the F Sport edition. There’s an executive edition that has a fully reclining seat on the passenger side.
First of all ... this is the F sport model... that’s why it doesn’t have the side shades , cooled and heated seats soooooooooooooo.... and btw the engine sound isn’t synthetic... that’s the sound of the intake ... dude u r cool but but u should’ve checked the other specs before u test the F SPORT model
Probably the slowest $100,000 car you buy. Lexus really messed up here. If I'm spending $100K, I'm not gonna want a Turbo V6. And it sounds horrible. No cap.
@Joshua Jacob yeah Lexus hasn't updated its GSF in forever. It doesn't even have AppleCarplay or any Collision avoidance features. A Camry has better tech than a 2019 GSF.
The current generation Audi A8 has a twin turbo V6 with less horsepower than this. The Mercedes S450 is underpowered as well. Did you complain about those cars too?
