The GS turned out to be the best bargain of the midsize luxury sedans. It’s far more reliable than any from the other side of the Atlantic and it is even better than the Infiniti G35 ( now Q50). The GS has the balance between price, luxury, technology, reliability and quality.
Agreed! I bought my white on red 2016 GS350 F-Sport a year & a half ago & it's been absolutely amazing! It had 41k miles when I bought it for $28k (Original MSRP $58k). I really can't ask for a better car as of now & am probably gonna keep it for a very long time. It's my ultimate dream car for sure! I test drove a 2009 Infiniti G37 a decade ago & loved its style & performance which that car was my previous dream car, but couldn't afford one at the time, but prefer Lexus for their quiet ride, smoother engines, but still strong performance & of course most importantly their legendary long term reliability.
@@ahahuehafook4207 How has been going? I'm thinking to get a AWD one (same year as yours) but I'm still thinking, only thing holding me back is the fuel efficiency, can you share the mpg you get on heavy city? Regards.

You said it! I bought a used white on red 2016 GS350 F-Sport about a year ago with 41k miles for $28k (Original MSRP $58k) & has been an incredible car so far. Easily one of the best used vehicles you can buy right now.
@@carsaregood911 ikr like its been 8 years new way better technology has come out, of course your comment does make sense since it was 8 yrs ago and it actually was a really good system back then....
Name me one toyota that looks feels and drives like this. The engines are even different. Its the same block as in the camry but its got direct injection and other technologies that give it about 40bhp more than the Camry. The materials are all padded and soft touch right down to the door sill and its built in a purpose built facility in tahara, japan that has won Numerous awards from JD power and the rest for its attention to detail and quality that is unrivalled.
I like this review. The reviewers thoughts are well taken. I just wish he had spent more time explaining the many features of this car. Its obvious Lexus has upped the ante in this segment and its a worthy consideration for anyone looking spend in the $50K - $60K range. Having owned 3 Lexus over the past 22 years their reputation of quality, reliability, and value is well earned in my opinion. You can certainly do worse.
This guys voice is nostalgic. I’ve had a 2006 GS300 which I absolutely loved. Now I just got a 2013 LEXUS GS350 from Lexus of Sharon Massachusetts. I love it so much
I'm thinking about grabbing one within the next few weeks. I really want an F-Sport but they seem to be substantially more pricier, even for a 2013. Any gripes about it so far?
@@imyanigmw Wanted the F as well but they are out of my reach. Would love the new design (2016) but they are around 30K. Did you end up buying one? I'm considering a 2013 with 67k miles for $19,000.
@@chucknorris5141 No, I still haven't bought one yet. Hopefully soon after the winter is over. That one you mentioned sounds great, no way I'd be able to find one here in Philly with those type of miles for that price. The only F-Sport same year I seen for that price had about 95k miles on it
For everyone complaining about the sound generator, the sounds it makes aren't fake, they come from the engine. The car with FAKE engine sounds is the new M5 that plays recorded sounds through the stereo.
Not sure how I ended up here today but my 2014 AWD has been great for 53,xxx miles. Wish gas mileage was a bit better but an otherwise great car. Love having the smaller grill as well.
This is such a well made car that you could possibly pass it down to several generations of family members before it would finally die! Our GS350 has only visited the dealer once for warranty repair in the 100k miles that we have owned it. My German cars on the other hand have needed thousands in repairs well before 100k miles. From a quality standpoint our Lexus makes my Porsche and BMW look like a cheap Chinese toy.
zoltron30 I've had the car for a year now. Only thing I have paid for is basic maintaince like oil change and tire rotation. I took the car toyota because its cheaper than taking it to Lexus dealership. Usually cost 65 dollars
Depends on the mileage and condition. Also depends what model you are trying to buy. The base model, luxury package or Fsport package. I bought the luxury package because I felt it suited my needs better and I still have the adaptable suspension. I paid $31,995 for my GS luxury package with 30,925 on the odometer last year January. It was a really good deal. The car was $61,000 brand new. But to answer your question the base models are usually around 23- 25 thousand the luxury is about 25- 30 thousand and the f sports tend to always hold a higher value so they usually go for 30- 37 thousand. If you buy from a lexus dealer the cost will be on the higher side because they refurbish the car. I bought mine from a porsche dealership.
Deno Reed Congratulations Deno. Very beautiful car. Quick question, do you feel a difference when you change from Eco, Nornal to Sport modes or is it barely noticeable?
I'm seriously looking into buying one soon. Most of the 2013 models in the Philadelphia area for a decent price have high miles, which really isn't an issue for a Lexus. Any gripes?
@@imyanigmw no gripes so far running good. I got a 2015 with 20k miles though. My little ct200 hybrid has 60k and still feels like the day I bought it.
Nice! I've had an '03 GS300 before and currently drive an ES350. Stills drives great and is reliable as hell, just really want something a little newer. Thanks for the feedback, I think I'll make that move
imyanigmw I love the style of the 03 myself. Been wanting a GS since high school. The first generation still have a timeless design in my opinion. Me and the wife will probably always own this brand of car from now on
I drive a 2014 GS F Sport Steering tight just like a bmw on sport+ with half the cost in service My fathers BMW is quicker The GS is like driving on a cloud - sports car cloud
There is no difference in steering even in sport+... Normal, sport, sport+ steering remains the same... Steering is actually wack in this car, bmw got much heavier sporty and precise steering, can't compare to Luxus
What the difference if the sound comes from a sound generator or if you put a different exhaust on its all being enhanced buy something the end sound is all that matters.I love my f-sport smooth and fast enough for me.
I'd love to know what "German rivals" they think have superior feel. 5 series? Numb now. E class? Always numb steering. Audi? Numb, detached, front heavy. They all have a great history, but not the current non M, non S, non AMG versions.
Dear Motorweek, why did you delete BAJABUSTA's channel? I liked your review of the '98 GS400. That was and still is my favorite generation of the GS from Lexus ('98-'05).
@adamY2K If you watch the video it says the estimated it at 19/23 but the actual estimates are 19/28. Still the Infiniti M and Genesis get similar mileage with more power. And this just looks like a complete 5-Series rip off
gs is nice but passenger back seat looks really small for leg room for this car. NOt bad if you just want to drive the car but the passenger has no space to stretch their legs in the back.
I really like the Audi, but this Lexus blurs the line a little for me. It would really come down to driving the two back to back. I couldn't decide just from reading or watching videos.
I am a long time hater of Lexus and Toyota for creating appliances rather than soulful machines. I test drove one of these new GS models other day, and it looks much better in person than in pictures/videos.
