2009 Lexus GS

Trim: GS 300
by CAR2071 on 07-31-2017
It's a very efficient vehicle
it's nice and comfortable. I went in expecting to purchase a used vehicle. I didn't even want to consider a new vehicle thinking it was out of my price range. Dave Sosnowski took the time to give me all of my options and was never pushy. I ended up getting a brand new car that I LOVE and can afford. He even took the time to make sure I knew how everything worked and was set up properly as far as connecting the blue tooth with my phone, etc. I highly recommend. It was worth the hour drive to get there.

Amazing Ride!!
This car has been the go-to car for all my family members. It sleek, small and very luxurious without breaking the bank. The car is everything I've always wanted, the height, the leather seats and the brand.
I would highly recommend this car to anyone as it has always been a safe and smooth ride to any destination.

Pure Sport Luxury Sedan
Just purchased the 2013 MY GS350 and I'm extremely impressed on the ride quality, materials quality and performance. Amazing vehicle, albeit a bit on the pricier side but definitely worth the cost of entry for those wanting sporty and luxury combined into a nice package!

2013 Lexus GS

Trim: GS 450h
by Oakville_Dude on 01-05-2017
Best car I ever had
Bought this used from a GTA Lexus dealer as CPO - my trim has all the options possible (tech package) including the LED headlights and foglights, which are superb.

The torque and power of the hybrid powertrain are excellent and in Sport+ mode the handling is fantastic for an almost 2 ton car, on the highway passing is a breeze regardless of speed and you can smoke most of the "sportier" looking cars without a sweat, while looking at their driver's amazed faces :)

Fuel economy is great for a car this size, I'm averaging 29mpg combined in 23.5K km. Make no mistake, this is not a fuel-sipping Prius and drinks premium - but if you want the power of a V8 with the handling and fuel consumption of a small 4 cylinder this is the car to get.

All in all, gets very close to having the cake and eating it too :)

Bullet proof
I have had two of these cars and put on 200,000 kms between them. Change the oil, tires and brakes as necessary and then drive. The quality is unsurpassed, tons of power and has a unique look.
It's a high value low cost vehicle and will probably go 500,000 kms.

2007 Lexus GS

Trim: GS 450 HYBRID Premium
by Paul-6698 on 10-29-2015
Stylish, fast and economical
This was my first Lexus and was I happy I choose the hybrid. This is a luxury car with all the usual options and then some. This Lexus drives like a track car with the economy of a small car. Highway driving, it is fantastic on fuel, getting over 650k's to the tank. You do not even feel when the hybrid system cuts in and out. Such a smooth transition. The heated and cooled front leather seats are great for all seasons. I did notice a difference for the better in using summer tires over all season tires, so I bought a set of winter tires and rims as well to go along with the summer tires. This Lexus has been a dream to drive.
The only negative about this hybrid is you need to use Premium fuel, which actually burns cleaner saving wear and tear on the internal fuel combustion system, but with the milage you get, thats a great trade off.

2006 Lexus GS

Trim: GS 430
by DeanZ on 09-19-2015
A very Comfortable Luxury car that Handles Like a Sports Car
I have owned this vehicle since 2008, I purchased it used with 40,000 Klms. It is now over 130,000 Klms and the only things I have done are oil and filter changes and one set of new tires. Absolutely nothing else has required attention.

The car has great torque and passing power, 90 to 140 Klm/h happens VERY quickly. On twisty roads in the mountains it is nice to have the passing power and it will corner with BMWs, Audis, Corvettes and other daily driver type sports cars. It is far more comfortable for 1000 klm days than the Audi or BMW and the Corvette doesn't even come close to the ride comfort of the other three.

The naturally aspirated V8 is a great motor, too bad it is now only available in the LS version. It was a great blend in the sportier GS. I will keep this car forever as it is the best combination of 4 door sport cruiser I have ever found short of a Bentley. The Bentley costs far more to purchase and maintain and won't give you 25 mpg in town and highway of up to 32 mpg at 120 Klm/h, like the GS 430 will.

2008 Lexus GS

Trim: GS 460
by LexLeezard3939 on 06-03-2015
So few made, so wonderful to own
From 2008 to 2011 (total number made less than 1800) this has got to be one of the best / highest quality vehicles ever made. I've owned countless Toyotas and Volvos since 1978 -- 4x4, AWD, turbo and performance. The Lexus GS460 (I am the 2nd owner) is amazing. No problem in Winter -- select "snow" and make sure you have good tires -- the intelligent traction etc. is superb. Performance tires for Spring, Summer and Fall -- everything is a total pleasure. ALWAYS great fuel mileage, handling, performance, comfort ... everything works ... A/C is excellent ... seats are extremely comfortable (for an old guy like me!). The GS450h is also very good. Buy either, used, if you can.

Best handling car on ice, I have ever driven. Lots of power, very responsive and little road or wind noise. The back seat is good for two, but the third person in the middle is best to be small.

2002 Lexus GS

Trim: GS 300 Premium
by DSnow on 10-23-2014
A beautiful, reliable luxury sedan
When I first saw this car, I thought it would drive like a sofa - but I was very wrong. The inline 6-cyl motor is paired extremely well with the ECT transmission, both of which are smooth and composed.

Comfortable for long-haul highway driving, and with enough pep to keep you interested when tearing around the city, I'm very pleased with the vehicle. And it has one of those designs that in my opinion, will never go out of style.

2001 Lexus GS

Trim: GS 300
by Clemway on 12-07-2013
Classy eye-catcher
This car has definitely received many glances when it rolled around the city. If you're looking for a classy ride, this will be the right car to get. With it's wide and long style, it gives it the luxurious look like the Lexus LS and the BMW 7-series. With the exception of the newer 2013 GS's, I believe this model was one of the nicest ones Lexus had come up with. My experience with this car was mostly positive, besides the fact that I had to fix a few things here and there.. But hey, can't expect a 14 year old car to be perfect right?

Classy eye-catcher
For a almost 14 year old car, this has a lot of class to it. A definite eye catcher when you roll down the streets in those 18-inch rims. With the exception of the newer 2013 generation, I believe the 2001 models were one of the nicest Lexus has come up with. If you are looking for a luxurious style while driving around town, this car will definitely match your taste because of the wide and long body, giving it the look of the Lexus LS and BMW 7-series.

2008 Lexus GS

Trim: GS 460
by LexLeezard on 11-17-2013
Could this get any better?
I've been on the road for more than 40 years, with many Toyotas of every description, plus many Volvos. Got the 2008 Lexus GS460 used, with just 66,000 KM (44,000 miles). This is the best yet. Last car was a 2004 Volvo V70R M66. Loved it, but everything about the Lexus is better EXCEPT for the AWD (duh!). Regardless, the Lexus is fabulous in bad weather, excellent fuel mileage, great handling, superb braking, all the creature comforts. Reliability record is unsurpassed. CANNOT RECOMMEND MORE HIGHLY. If you can find a "series 3" V8 GS460 -- BUY IT NOW!

1998 Lexus GS

Trim: GS 300
by HarryM on 10-14-2013
Most Reliable Car EVER!
I have had this car for more than 2 years and honestly this was an amazing find. It is a 1998, but the features it has is at par with today's more modern cars. It has everything from traction control, to automatic headlights, to home link. I thoroughly enjoy driving it due to its refined drive and performance. What I love even more is its timeless design. Everyone is shocked to hear that it is a 1998. Its very cool as there aren't many on the road either, and very few for sale. These cars will last forever if taken care right, and no that doesn't mean expensive repairs every 5000km. More like routine oil changes and wear and tear items like breaks. I love this car but only reason that I am selling it because I own two cars.

A 28 MPG Rocket Ship
This car has proven to be the best car that I have ever owned. BY FAR. It is rock solid reliable, a blast to drive, fast, quiet and "tossable" for over 2 ton car. Fun in town and great on the highway.

The weight of very large battery in the truck provides a nicely balanced car and gives added traction for the rear wheels in bad weather.

Show me another car that can seat five comfortably, does 0-60 in under 5.5 seconds and gets over 25 MPG in town.

Other then the useless trunk this would be a perfect car.

Luxurious yet subtle
Owned this for over 3 years now, and love it. Super silent, smooth and very powerful ride. It looks different from boring BMWs, Mercs, Audis....etc..It's powerful engine blows smoke at arrogant drivers, showing off their "sporty" looking cars on any streets. Love the look on their face when they struggle to keep my tail pipes in sight.

Fuel Efficient
I wanted to get on the bandwagon and be more eco-friendly however I am having some doubts about this car, I purchased it in 2011 and although it has great mileage the design, comfort, and durability of the car itself has left a lot to be desired. I've owned a Lexus is the past and have been very happy but this hybrid is a bit of a disappointment, now I know why everyone rips on them, Bring me a hybrid that actually runs and feels like a care for 42k and I'll eat my show.
