Mate I wish they did! Even if they updated it to be up to date with the touchpad and Apple CarPlay system that would be enough to make it a car to keep for the future. Even though it’s not the be all, having an easy infotainment does make a difference in the long term. And knowing Lexus they wouldn’t be changing their engines 😂
Right bro just tune it yourself. Lexus IS a luxury reliable brand mainly so I’m sure there’s a reason why their cars don’t have the craziest horsepower stock. But u can if u want to
Hey Sergi. Good to see you again. I have a 2019 gs 350 fsport, and the funny thing is I like the aspect of sitting a little higher because I can see my surroundings better. I also note that I would enjoy the more sporty aspect of the IS but if its your only car, I know guys that don't like to feel the road all the time continuously on long trips without a break. Different strokes for different folks. I don't like to feel cramped. The type of balance that the GS fsport brings between luxury, refinement, interior space, and some aspect of fun, so much hits my sweet spot. Also I want to let others know about something I discovered about the ML system. I am very much into audio. When I 1st got the car, I tested the sound, and noted without a doubt, that the best sound would be had from a cd. The amazon music or the internet radio sounded awful. Then I got amazon hd. Changed the settings in my phone so I can download the tracks at the ulta hd or highest quality in the amazon app as well as on my phone. I bought an external sd card so I wouldn't fill up my storage, And Wow!. What a difference now. I created playlists in high-quality downloads and it sounds super awesome. Like you wouldn't believe. The reason I mention this is because I never read or heard it , in any review. Well thanks so much Sergi. Keep them coming. The blue is a beautiful color.
Jose!! It's been a while!!! Hope you're well :) You're absolutely rirght about the GS, its a combination of everything in one car and that's what makes it so special!! And about the music, yes it's amazing what downloading it on high quality can do!! I have Spotify and luckily have a lot of data so I just set my streaming on Ultra High quality and it is amazing to say the least!! Going for a cruise with good quality music is just sensational 😄 Look forward to seeing you on the next one, may be another week or so and is something rather different!! Also Jose have you seen I've made a second channel? Feel free to subscribe to it, it'll be my podcast channel!!
Hey Tan!! Mate welcome back and appreciate the kind words 😄 To be very fair at this point it’s just a coincidence the cars are always the same colour 😂 And mate I’ve got soo many more videos coming!! And between us a second channel too.... 😜
The GS350 is the best car Lexus ever made. It has it all and does it all. It will be back, and its why I bought one and will hold onto it. Its already went up in value 13k in two years.
Hey Jeff! Congrats on getting a GS350 they are an awesome car! I believe it too and I know most cars have increased but especially as bigger engines get off the market I believe they will only continue going up! Anyways thank you so much for watching Jeff and hope to see you on the next one 😄
LS owners would beg to differ, but if I wanted a ultra-luxe Lexus the GS would be my choice as well. The LS is an incredible Mercedes S class alternative, but thats another car that really doesnt appeal to me. The truth is I'd forgo all of them for the awesome looking '21+ IS 350 (or IS 500 if they werent so expensive) It has enough luxury and performance to satisfy both needs for me.
Great review! IS 350 for me, crazy fun and perfect for congested cities and places where parking is always an issue, as long as u don't have a need for passengers in the back!
I currently have this GS f sport and even though the IS has a “newer” look to it, it’s not really faster, and the interior materials on the GS is much nicer all around when you sit in both back to back. A lot of harder plastics in the IS. I still would be happy with a new IS though
Hey Lukas, Firstly thank you so much for watching the video :) And definitely agree with you there!! The GS is of a upper class feel overall and should really hope so when it cost about $30k more brand new (here in Aus) 😄 You've got an awesome car, what colour combo is yours?
Great thorough tutorial and comparison of the two luxury cars from Lexus. I have a GS 350 F Sport and love it, but it's always nice to see how it compares to it's hotter and smaller cousin, the IS!
Hi Mohamad!! Thank you so much for watching and your kind words 😄😄 I’m trying very hard for it haha! If you did like it feel free to ask 3 of your friends to subscribe and help get ya to 500 😄 It would be amazing 😊 See you on the next one!! 😄
Great reviews/comparisons of the cousins but id have to go GS especially since i have kiddos and most of my travel is 70+mph so comfort is huge. Sad the GS is gone but luckily for i cant afford a new one anyways well maybe im not lucky haha. 1st time your videos 👍🏾
Hey Sandile, thanks so much for watching and checking out the channel! Got plenty more coming this way :D Also have a podcast coming soon if you like that style of video be sure to check it out in my channels tab :) See you on the next one!! 😀
Mate!! So glad you watched the review 😄 Did you enjoy it and the real question is would you buy it in that Blue or is it too much? See you on the next one 😄
I have a 214 GS350 Luxury in Nebula GP, and it still turns heads today. Elegant and still relevant. Also, the Luxury package with the polished wood appointments, dual 18way adjustable, dual 3 way memory settings for both front seats is just over the top comfy and luxurious. Keep in mind, the GS is the model where Lexus stuffed all the spoils for an executive, cabin. The rear seats even have heated and ventilated seat, climate and media player and privacy shade controls, and even have ashtrays in both doors (god forbid if anyone should ever use them as such) but you get the idea…The GS is more sinister, An Executive Gangsters’ sedan . Vs the IS which is just a bad ass, hyper-styled true sports sedan for the meme stock millennial. Not to mention, larger humans, (not by western means) just won’t fit in an IS. If you’re over 200lbs, forget it. A good way to imagine the demographic for each is to imagine what CD or Audio track or Artists the respective drivers would be slamming on the ML audio system….GS = NAS ,- IS = Post Malone. Great review! Very objective and fair assessment of both stunning vehicles!
Hey Mālama, firstly thank you so much for watching and your comment! I really appreciate it :) How long have you had your GS? Those options are awesome!! They never came with those options here in Australia, although the LS did have most of those. If you can send some photos on instagram - @sergcarreviews . Merry Christmas to you and family 😊
I 've owned 4 Lexus' so far, 2 ES300s, 2 IS350 RWDs and I put a deposit down on the IS500. The GS has never spoken to me, but I have always wondered how it compared to the IS. This was a GREAT and in-depth comparison, awesome video in more ways than one. :-) #NewSubscriber
Tony mate!!! Congratulations !! That's so frkin awesome!! Very excited for you can't wait to see it :D!!! We don't get it here in Aus so no more V8's from Lexus here now. Appreciate your kind words they mean a lot! I do work hard on them so glad to see people enjoying them 😊 Mate I'm actually also started a second channel where I'll be doing podcasts, feel free to follow it so you can see when it's ready :) Thank you again and look forward to seeing you on the next one 😄
Hey mate! They are super reliable and that's the best thing about Lexus, the fact that they make a premium quality car which is still reliable! Hopefully Tony can share his experience ofcourse :D
@@beastmode1980434 SUPER reliable! As long as you understand Lexus makes ‘quick’ cars, not ‘fast’ ones (there’s a difference. 😉), you’ll be super impressed for many years to come. Just follow the maintenance schedule to the letter. Good luck! 👍🏽
George!! Yes mate I’m back!! This took way too long to do but been very full on in life lots going on :)! Hope you’ve been well mate!! I’ve been working on plenty more to watch and it’s coming soon 😄!!
@@yes8032 yess I like that idea! It’s funny though the ES now actually looks more like the CLS though. So many ES - CLS and GS more executive sedan such as 5 series. It’s just such a shame they never updated it to what it should’ve been!
Mate I really appreciate you 😄 I'm so glad to have you on board mate I'm gonna be posting a lot more very soon 😄🤫 If you want I update my insta every day feel free to check it out - @sergcarreviews
The IS 350 also was missing the carbon fiber mirrors , which go good with the BBS. Super rare to find one with it but we have one in stock with the carbon mirrors
Hey Sebastian! Thank you so much for watching 😄😄 Here in Aus we don't get either of those options which I can only imagine would look soo good!! Where do you work??
The GS350 F sport had as options Rear Wheel Steering and a Torsen Limited Slip Differential. If you drive a GS 350 with those two options only found on the rear drive models but are hard to find and are more rare. The only way to tell if they have those options is to look under the rear of the car.
Cool video. I liked & subscribed, from the States. I currently have a 2011 GS 350, AWD, it’s a nice ride but I was curious about the differences between these two models, which seem to both have 3.5 liter V6’s. I may upgrade to the newest used low mileage GS 350 F. I bought mine just before the pandemic & it seems to be still worth what I paid for it, it had only 50k miles, now 95k. I got it for about $21k USD.
I was thinking about doing that but really the reason I did these two was because the brand new IS price was the same as a one year old GS price, so it made a bit more sense haha :) I do have a pre-facelift IS vs facelift RC video coming out soon :)
I’ve heard a lot about the “Adaptive memory” of the transmissions that learn the drivers habits and adjust accordingly. A lot of sites say to reset this. Is there anything to it?
Hey mate! Firstly thank you so much for watching! I've heard of this as well, I know the newer cars definitely do this, not too sure about the GS since it's more than a few years old. Good question to ask the service centre and if it is to reset it especially if you're buying pre-owned! Let me know how you go!
Hey mate! Absolutely is! So just Sports mode will have the steering, throttle response and gearing in tighter and more responsive feel. Sports plus those all that plus stiffens the dampers. Hope this helps with your search 😄
And mate would love to but haven’t even seen a GS450h in a couple years! Would be such an awesome car to drive! Btw thank you so much for watching 😄 Feel free to subscribe cos we’ve got plenty more coming 😄!
I dont know why the reviewer is suprised that it doesn't drive like a sports car..its a lexus...of course its NOT A SPORTS CAR..its a comfortable, reliable, "sporty" luxury sedan..its not supposed to have Mods, loud exaust, and sports car performance..ITS A LEXUS maaaaaaaan!!!!!!....😅😅
You would be mad to buy an is if you could get a gs for the same money. Being 1 year old is no problem, just run in. I recently bought a 2014 gs350 fsport, for 35k, in new zealand. Only 44000km, full service history. Bargain. Such a great car.
My parents 1989 Toyota Camry had adjustable headrests. Lexus is shamelessly cutting features to make people upgrade to actually newer and more expensive models
Hey mate, Firstly thank you so much for watching :D!! About the car, I'm in Australia so couldn't comment on anything in the UK but generally at that sort of mileage there will be some maintenance required. Usually not too much on a Lexus but make sure it has always been serviced and looked after 👍
The age group that is going to buy this car will not notice point 4 seconds difference or extra body roll. They probably will never even use the Paddles
Hey mate, firstly thank you so much for watching! I understand your point but as these cars get onto the used car market more and more younger people are purchasing them as opposed to the clients that used to many years ago. Thanks again for watching! 😄
Hey Guanzhong, Firstly thank you so much for watching! And between the two there isn't much of a difference but I did notice the IS to have better insulation from road noise, but GS had a bit (literally a bit) better insulation from engine noise. Hope that helps! Are you thinking about getting one?
@@SergCarReviews Thanks for the reply! Yeah I have been thinking about getting one. Also, is there a lot of differences among the 2014/2017/2021 IS models? I dont really care about apple carplay tbh cuz I just let my playlist go shuffle.
@@DarkDetectiveLight Between 14 and 17 not really, it's much the same car, however the 20/21 models you will definitely feel a difference in the IS350 especially, the gearbox is a lot more seamless. And mate it sounds like you're like me as long as musics playing you're alright 😂 really either you go you'll enjoy them 😄 Watch the IS vs IS vs IS and skip to the driving parts I really go into more detail about how it feels compared to the previous gen. Let me know how you go and feel free to get in touch on insta if you want 😊
Hey mate!! Firstly thank you so much for watching and coming over from Dougs channel 😄 Totally agree! Ive actually reviewed the LS as well, have you watched it yet? Catch up soon 😊
i own a 3GS350. Good looking car. not as good looking as the 2gs but worlds better interior and tech. having said that, i would never own a 4gs.. just too vanilla looking. wouldn't even consider it. looks as exiting as a ford taurus, even the f version. that is though, that IS350 is a masterpiece of a refresh! IS is just too cramped and uncomfortable in a world of traffic jams though.
It’s funny it used to be me too but the new IS has grown on me more and more! Would you get it in this blue colour though? Thanks so much for watching Jawad! I just posted the new 2021 LS500, if you want to watch it 😄
With out a doubt it is nice but I'm not a fan of electronic steering an brakes after hearing about miss billionaire who died in her tesla . I am in control of a manual steering an manual brakes
I’m in a little pickle here. The IS 350 looks better and is cheaper but surprisingly weighs more than the GS 350 unless the GS 350 is the AWD model and the IS 350 isn’t…
Hey mate! Firstly thank you so much for watching :D And the biggest question is do you need an AWD? If you do then there's no other way around it you'll have to get the GS... but if it isn't needed, I'll say get the IS350 for more fun, get the GS350 for more comfort. Let me know how you go :D You're welcome to DM me on insta - @sergcarreviews Talk soon!
Hey Justin!! Firstly thank you so much for watching!! I would've agreed if I had the previous generation IS but they've come such a long way that saying the GS was the better car, I would be called biased for the car 😂 But I do love the GS and see where you're coming from 😄 Have a good one and hope to see you on the next one :)!1
Great video! Small correction - GS350 has an auto-hold button. It's located beside the steering wheel and directly behind the windshield wiper control. You can kind of see it at 14:12
Hey mate! Firstly thank you so much for watching 😄 So the GS350 definitely doesn't have the auto-hold. The light which is under the windscreen wiper stalk is only a light to indicate the hand-brake is automatic. I did do some research because I doubted myself there for a second and apparently the GS450h does have an auto-hold feature so you are right however not on this car 😄 haha Anyways thank you again for watching and hope you enjoyed it :D! Look forward to catching up on the next one 😄
@@gtr07rocks71 Hey mate thanks so much for watching! I double and triple checked with others as well a bit more knowledgable than me 😄 it wasn't the first one that I had driven and noticed it didn't have it so the only thing I can think of is maybe Aus having a few less features? I really don't know haha, either way thanks so much for watching :)
Used market I can buy a GS 350 F sport for around $30,000 usd with 50-70k miles since they are reliable and a new is350 f sport will be 50k minimum. I'll go with the GS for sure can upgrade the Rims and probably do a minor performance ECU Tune and exhaust upgrade!
Hey Ishman! Firstly mate thank you so much for watching the video and commenting! At that price difference the GS is very nice! And with the upgrades ooft!!! Send me some photos on instagram - @sergcarreviews :) Speak soon!!
Man im trying to get a Is at least the 2021 but these dealers are insane charging a lot of money over msrp and I’m thinking the same I might have to go with the 2019/2020 GS
lol i know this is a 2 year old video but isnt the gs350 5.7 0-60 mph? or did that somehow change to 6.0 for the 2020 model? just curious if anyone knows
If Lexus had redesigned the GS for one more time and also gave it apple car play and about 50 more hp..I think they would have sold much more units
Mate I wish they did! Even if they updated it to be up to date with the touchpad and Apple CarPlay system that would be enough to make it a car to keep for the future. Even though it’s not the be all, having an easy infotainment does make a difference in the long term. And knowing Lexus they wouldn’t be changing their engines 😂
Fugg Apple, in a few yrs you will be glad they didnt
nah
Just tune it
Right bro just tune it yourself. Lexus IS a luxury reliable brand mainly so I’m sure there’s a reason why their cars don’t have the craziest horsepower stock. But u can if u want to
Hey Sergi. Good to see you again. I have a 2019 gs 350 fsport, and the funny thing is I like the aspect of sitting a little higher because I can see my surroundings better. I also note that I would enjoy the more sporty aspect of the IS but if its your only car, I know guys that don't like to feel the road all the time continuously on long trips without a break. Different strokes for different folks. I don't like to feel cramped. The type of balance that the GS fsport brings between luxury, refinement, interior space, and some aspect of fun, so much hits my sweet spot. Also I want to let others know about something I discovered about the ML system. I am very much into audio. When I 1st got the car, I tested the sound, and noted without a doubt, that the best sound would be had from a cd. The amazon music or the internet radio sounded awful. Then I got amazon hd. Changed the settings in my phone so I can download the tracks at the ulta hd or highest quality in the amazon app as well as on my phone. I bought an external sd card so I wouldn't fill up my storage, And Wow!. What a difference now. I created playlists in high-quality downloads and it sounds super awesome. Like you wouldn't believe.

Is it possible to have steering in Sports and suspension in Normal? Also you should compare the Lexus GS450h F-Sport to the IS350 F-Sport.
Hey mate! Absolutely is! So just Sports mode will have the steering, throttle response and gearing in tighter and more responsive feel.
Sports plus those all that plus stiffens the dampers.
Hope this helps with your search 😄
And mate would love to but haven’t even seen a GS450h in a couple years! Would be such an awesome car to drive!
Btw thank you so much for watching 😄 Feel free to subscribe cos we’ve got plenty more coming 😄!
I dont know why the reviewer is suprised that it doesn't drive like a sports car..its a lexus...of course its NOT A SPORTS CAR..its a comfortable, reliable, "sporty" luxury sedan..its not supposed to have Mods, loud exaust, and sports car performance..ITS A LEXUS maaaaaaaan!!!!!!....😅😅
Funny my old 87 Corona has the head rest ajustable the same click click
I'm loving driving on the other side of the street! Lol!
The GS also gets folding mirrors and automatic trunk lol
Thanks so much for watching 😄 From memory not the F-Sport (here in Aus anyways). This was a few years ago so I can't remember exactly.
I remember my mom's 1985 Toyota van had those headrests. 🤣
Hahah
Which one has a smoother and more comfortable ride?
the new lamp waaay better on the 2021 version
I agree but I also still love the previous model too 😆! Thank you so much for watching 😄
Ill take the gs 350
Hey Joe, thanks so much for watching :)
GS all day long.
They're awesome!! 😄👌
You would be mad to buy an is if you could get a gs for the same money. Being 1 year old is no problem, just run in. I recently bought a 2014 gs350 fsport, for 35k, in new zealand. Only 44000km, full service history. Bargain. Such a great car.
No way Pete!! Congratulations mate :D!! That's so well done!! Congratulations again :)
very impressive good review 👍👍👍👍
Barev Serob!! Thank you so much for watching and hope to see you on the next one! Feel free to check out the instagram and send me a message :D!
@@SergCarReviews much love i have the 2021 is 300 amazing car thats what brought me to your video i wish you best
@@serobboshnakyan1048 No way bro! Congratulations man awesome car! Which model did you get? Also are you a fellow Armenian?
@@SergCarReviews well i have the 2021 lexus is 300 rwd an amazing car really love it and yes i am Armenian my brother
My parents 1989 Toyota Camry had adjustable headrests. Lexus is shamelessly cutting features to make people upgrade to actually newer and more expensive models
Hey mate, firstly thank you so much for watching :) It's interesting you say that!
You could shows us some memes so your channel attracts the GenZ
Hey Sameer, mate thank you so much for watching and commenting! Can you check out my UX300e video and let me know what you think?

Is the Lexus Gs300 a good buy at 130k miles will it be expensive to maintain in the uk?
Hey mate, Firstly thank you so much for watching :D!! About the car, I'm in Australia so couldn't comment on anything in the UK but generally at that sort of mileage there will be some maintenance required. Usually not too much on a Lexus but make sure it has always been serviced and looked after 👍
Hello my friend, who is the fastest?
GS is classic
Agreed!
No its not lol, i see GS everywhere.
GS all day!
Such a good car!! 😄😄 Thanks so much for watching!! See you on the next one 😊
Is the foglight on GS at 2:28min factory installed or aftermarket?
Standard in Australia. Thanks so much for watching 😊
The age group that is going to buy this car will not notice point 4 seconds difference or extra body roll. They probably will never even use the Paddles
Hey mate, firstly thank you so much for watching! I understand your point but as these cars get onto the used car market more and more younger people are purchasing them as opposed to the clients that used to many years ago. Thanks again for watching! 😄
how about the silence in the cabin? are the noticeably different?
Hey Guanzhong, Firstly thank you so much for watching! And between the two there isn't much of a difference but I did notice the IS to have better insulation from road noise, but GS had a bit (literally a bit) better insulation from engine noise. Hope that helps! Are you thinking about getting one?
@@SergCarReviews Thanks for the reply! Yeah I have been thinking about getting one. Also, is there a lot of differences among the 2014/2017/2021 IS models? I dont really care about apple carplay tbh cuz I just let my playlist go shuffle.
@@DarkDetectiveLight Between 14 and 17 not really, it's much the same car, however the 20/21 models you will definitely feel a difference in the IS350 especially, the gearbox is a lot more seamless. And mate it sounds like you're like me as long as musics playing you're alright 😂 really either you go you'll enjoy them 😄 Watch the IS vs IS vs IS and skip to the driving parts I really go into more detail about how it feels compared to the previous gen. Let me know how you go and feel free to get in touch on insta if you want 😊
@@SergCarReviews ohh i thought the suspension was like higher or smoother on the 21 IS. much appreciated with your reply! i will watch it!
@@DarkDetectiveLight Keep me posted 😄
Hi would you please make a review on outlander 2022 ES 4wd
Hi Manzo, if I get a chance I definitely will!
The IS 350 is a sports sedan. The back seat is for packages and kids. If you want lots of headroom in the back seat buy an LS.
Hey mate!! Firstly thank you so much for watching and coming over from Dougs channel 😄 Totally agree! Ive actually reviewed the LS as well, have you watched it yet? Catch up soon 😊
Are es350
Glad theyre moving back to one head lamp cuz the split led is ugly
i own a 3GS350. Good looking car. not as good looking as the 2gs but worlds better interior and tech. having said that, i would never own a 4gs.. just too vanilla looking. wouldn't even consider it. looks as exiting as a ford taurus, even the f version. that is though, that IS350 is a masterpiece of a refresh! IS is just too cramped and uncomfortable in a world of traffic jams though.
I have the same car but will be getting. Rc350 soonish
Awesome mate!! Send me some pics on instagram - @sergcarreviews 😀
Sure is beautiful but you clearly can’t park the right way
Thank you so much for watching 😄😄😄!
Gs for me 👌
It’s funny it used to be me too but the new IS has grown on me more and more! Would you get it in this blue colour though?
Thanks so much for watching Jawad! I just posted the new 2021 LS500, if you want to watch it 😄
With out a doubt it is nice but I'm not a fan of electronic steering an brakes after hearing about miss billionaire who died in her tesla . I am in control of a manual steering an manual brakes
I have a GS and never understood why all GS looks so dated. So sad.
They're so good though!!! Thank you so much for watching! 😊😄
I’m in a little pickle here. The IS 350 looks better and is cheaper but surprisingly weighs more than the GS 350 unless the GS 350 is the AWD model and the IS 350 isn’t…
Hey mate! Firstly thank you so much for watching :D And the biggest question is do you need an AWD? If you do then there's no other way around it you'll have to get the GS... but if it isn't needed, I'll say get the IS350 for more fun, get the GS350 for more comfort. Let me know how you go :D You're welcome to DM me on insta - @sergcarreviews Talk soon!
I can't get over how charming you are.
U don't made any sense 😒 gs>is
Hey Justin!! Firstly thank you so much for watching!! I would've agreed if I had the previous generation IS but they've come such a long way that saying the GS was the better car, I would be called biased for the car 😂 But I do love the GS and see where you're coming from 😄 Have a good one and hope to see you on the next one :)!1
Why u keep on laughing?
Why not? 😂
I think the Lexus GS is bigger more space then the is looks better
Hey Maurice! Thank you so much for watching 😄
Hello my friend, who is the fastest?
Great video! Small correction - GS350 has an auto-hold button. It's located beside the steering wheel and directly behind the windshield wiper control. You can kind of see it at 14:12
Hey mate! Firstly thank you so much for watching 😄
So the GS350 definitely doesn't have the auto-hold. The light which is under the windscreen wiper stalk is only a light to indicate the hand-brake is automatic. I did do some research because I doubted myself there for a second and apparently the GS450h does have an auto-hold feature so you are right however not on this car 😄 haha
Anyways thank you again for watching and hope you enjoyed it :D! Look forward to catching up on the next one 😄
@@SergCarReviews kinda weird as I thought the auto hold came standard on the GS350. Mine is a 2016 GS350 F Sport equipped with said button.
@@SergCarReviews i got a 2017 gs 350 f sport and it has auto hold brake where he said it was, always use it in traffic. So maybe u missed it.
@@gtr07rocks71 Hey mate thanks so much for watching! I double and triple checked with others as well a bit more knowledgable than me 😄 it wasn't the first one that I had driven and noticed it didn't have it so the only thing I can think of is maybe Aus having a few less features? I really don't know haha, either way thanks so much for watching :)
Used market I can buy a GS 350 F sport for around $30,000 usd with 50-70k miles since they are reliable and a new is350 f sport will be 50k minimum. I'll go with the GS for sure can upgrade the Rims and probably do a minor performance ECU Tune and exhaust upgrade!
Hey Ishman! Firstly mate thank you so much for watching the video and commenting! At that price difference the GS is very nice! And with the upgrades ooft!!! Send me some photos on instagram - @sergcarreviews :) Speak soon!!
Man im trying to get a Is at least the 2021 but these dealers are insane charging a lot of money over msrp and I’m thinking the same I might have to go with the 2019/2020 GS
The IS looks way better than the gs inside and out but the car size is built for woman
Hahah I wouldn't say that but they are a lot smaller.... Very tight in the cabin 😂
not the inside trust. I had the 2016 IS which is basically the same interior and the 2018 GS, the GS is in another league
Great comparison!
Mate!! Thank you so much for watching! Which one would you take??
Also I just put up the new 2021 LS500 if you’re curious 😄!!
lol i know this is a 2 year old video but isnt the gs350 5.7 0-60 mph? or did that somehow change to 6.0 for the 2020 model? just curious if anyone knows
i guess the year im model / year im referring to is 2018 rwd but maybe the awd is slower due to the weight? lol taking anyone's knowledge
@@fish4272i think the older ones 2007-2012 were geared more aggressively so it got a quicker 0-60 time compared to the newer ones.
