  • Best car or GS I’ve ever owned

    I bought this 2017 GS 350 as my third GS I’ve owned. It is the best of the 3. I bought it new and had for 10 years. Still looks great and runs the same. I love driving it and will hate giving it up at some point as they no longer make them.

  • This is the seventh Lexus that I have bought.

    All of the Lexus vehicles that I have owned have a certain similar feel to them. They all drive amazingly great and they don't break down. Very reliable!

  • Blown away at how great this car is

    Wow, just wow. The car rides smoother than any other car in its class. The interior is beautiful and the leather is second to NONE. The safety feature are best in class as well. The enform entertainment could use an upgrade but that’s the ONLY complaint I could make if there is one to make. I’m planning to keep this car for at least 10 years if not longer. Lexus always holds up its resale value too so I’ll get my money’s worth and than some.

  • Great luxury car

    This car met every requirement I needed for a luxury car that was priced just right! Have always been a fan of Toyota and this upgrade to Lexus only confirmed I made the correct choice in staying within the umbrella.

  • Best Value in Sedans

    It's a bit expensive, but it's worth every penny. You won't regret spending a bit more on this car. I cannot say enough good things about this car. It's almost perfect, and it will be around years longer than most cars. This car handles great, much better than most, but it's not a sports car. The handling on this car is remarkable, but the suspension and tires are perfectly tuned for comfort and luxury. Also, the automatic 8-speed transmission is amazing. I thought an 8 speed would be a joke. Wrong! The total result is you don't feel it shifting and in fact you get amazing fuel economy. At 70 mph the cruise rpm is like 1800!! The engine is hardly off idle at cruise! The end result, I was getting about 23 or 24 gallons/mile, which I thought was great considering this car is not a compact and accelerates faster than most. You switch to "sport" shift and it jumps off a stop light or passes cars with ease. The 8 speed makes it feel effortless.
