Nice car man! I have a white on red 2016 GS350 F-Sport that I bought three years ago & I absolutely love it to death! I love the color combo on my car but the color combo on your car is what I would for sure go for with my next car. As much as I love the 350 which has a very nice balance of everything, I would love to find a 450h with low miles if I bought another GS which I would go for it if I ever did find one, but yea, they're very hard to find.
Great work. I just picked up my GS450h in UK last week. 2012 model with 94k on the clock in red like yours but with ivory leather. Love it to death ! I don't think I've got heated steering wheel but everything else seems to be there. In your view is it worth getting an upgraded system for Android Auto or Carplay?
Personally, I love pre-selecting maps and having my navigation wirelessly pop-up automatically on the screen so I would! Regardless, get out and enjoy the sporty hybrid V6
I have not experienced the Burmester audio in a Mercedes so I can’t answer that question. The acoustic dual pane glass is an option so you’d have to be very specific when looking at each vehicle to see whether it is dual pane or not. It is a very quiet ride in the rear, probably 9/10 quiet to the point you can’t hear the front passengers when they are talking! Thanks for watching!
I think Lexus' Mark Levinson is very comparable to Mercedes' Burmester. They are both reputable highend brands in audiophile world. I've listened to Burmester system in 2020 GLS450 but I still liked Mark Levinson sound in my 2013 GS450h. I wanted to like Burmester more due to their historical but I couldn't come up with any reason. Don't get me wrong! The Burmester sounds amazing, it's very silky smooth with all the micro details. However, I feel like it lacks (or doesn't have enough) of mid bass that Mark Levinson is superior. Therefore, I feel that the Mark Levinson in Lexus pours the music into my ears a bit better than Burmester. It could be Mark Levinson speakers are more efficient than Burmester's speakers.
I have the 3rd gen GS, the sound insulation is definitely comparable to Mercedes E/CLS in the GS. Ride quality I am not so sure I find the GS a bit rougher. The Mark Levinson setting has good tremble but lower bass. Can't really tell them apart they are both really good Burmester feels like it has higher base volume. Depending on the song perhaps extra speakers would play a part in the difference?
Amazing video. Would you recommend buying a high mileage GS450h? I 'm looking at a car with 175,000 miles (280,000 KMs) on it, selling for a good price. I absolutely love the GS, but am scared of the mileage (specially due the complexities of the hybrid). Would love to hear your comments on it.
I see no problem with a high mileage Lexus as long as it was maintained properly. These V6s are stout, Lexus quality means that the interior shouldn't be in shambles, and in fact high mileage Hybrids are better than low mileage ones due to the fact that batteries sitting stagnant is not good for them.
I only used Sports mode once. I always kept it in Eco and drove like a grandpa so I could get the best mileage that I could - while at the same time having the power to pass someone
Black on black is fire 🔥 that red on the outside isn't popping. Just like them new escalade black on black is the best look..the inside nice but your taste for red is 🤮why you think red cars 🚘 are cheaper
To each their own! I love red, the color combination with the tan is amazing. Black is terrible in Arizona because it burns off the clear coat from the sun, shows scratches and swirls more, and is hotter inside (makes AC run harder) to keep it warm. Hard to find a GS450h in the first place, let alone a specific color combination. Thanks for watching!
Just bought a 2007 3 weeks ago. Only 40k miles with full lexus history and its amazing
Congratulations, drive and enjoy!

Thanks, very unique vehicle for sure! The fsport looks objectively nicer in my opinion, so make sure you enjoy it!
Kyle, thanks heaps. Appreciate your review. Helping me think through a potential purchase. Keep up the good work!! Sydney, AUS.
Thank you for watching! I truly appreciate the comment. Stay tuned as next week is the top things I dislike about it video :)

Is the sound system comparable to mercedes' Burmester? And are the windows double layers? Because of isolation. Thank you very much :)

hello sir, just wondering if you got the 450h you were looking at, and if so how is it holding up?
The GS450h and IS300h cars are ULTRA RELIABLE
Me and my two brothers drive them last 6+ years not even a bulb gone yet..
Flaxen is the interior color
Thank you, it’s a beautiful interior!
I cant find any of these for sale. Must be rare.
They only sold about 522 of them in 2013. Rare unicorns that are often held by their owners!
Oh yes very
Yo can u sell it to me?
Thank you for watching and for your interest, however it’s already been sold!
@@KylesCarVlog 😭😭😭😭😭 can the seller sell it to me? How much did you sell it for
@@marquisstrongchild7535 I sold it in the beginning of December to him, not sure if I still have their contact information. I sold it for $21,500.
Ah dang it. Already sold!@@KylesCarVlog
