    Excellent car that looks awesome and performs even better. Comfortable, speedy and very reliable. Lexus did not go wrong with the GS and the F-Sport package is a MOST HAVE!!

    Most reliable car I’ve ever owned

    I recommended this car for my husband to purchase and I liked it so much that he gave it to me! I feel so safe in it. It is easy to use and extremely comfortable to ride in.

    All Around special vehicle

    The F-Sport really adds the "polish" to this model. Can't say any negative about the car. Will buy this car after my lease expires. Style, comfort, engine size, handling, all 5 STAR ratings.

    I love my car! Fun to drive ! Love the F Sport package when I feel like gettin on it. The stereo frustrates me when I plug in my car charger it goes off, but that’s the only complaint. Beautiful, sporty sedan!

    Best car I’ve ever owned

    This car is by far the best most reliable, sleekest, luxury sports sedan, if that’s even a category that I’ve ever owned. Lexus is definitely a remarkable auto maker and this GS 350 F Sport lives up to every expectation possible. Great gas mileage, amazing sound, handling and the look turns heads daily. I love this vehicle and Luxury Imports Auto Sales in Florence, KY is by far the best dealership I’ve ever done business with. I salute you both Kelly and Rola, thank you for making a dream come true!

    This vehicle met all of my specs: Low mileage, nav system, sun roof, price, and comfort. I test drove two different types of Lexus Models and decided on the GS. Sam Ballard was very helpful in the process.

    Not a sturdy car, outdated in technology. Too much plastic inside and outside. Sports grill looks good but very delicate. Lexus must update this car. Doesn?t have the comforts for the driver or passenger.
