A couple of years later, January 2020, my dad decided we have to go to my home country in the Middle East, and we're not taking the car, so my dad took the car to his friend to sell it, or something.

I found that a lot of the creaks and squeaks in my 2007 gs350 were solved by putting felt strips between the center ac vent and infotainment system. There was also a ticking sound coming from the driver dash area which was fixed by putting more felt strips on the gauge cluster bezel. Now the car is extremely quiet, and you only hear noise over really rough roads.

​@abgpsycho9758 you take the radio and then the climate vents out, put felt tape or insulation on each side and put it back together -- you can also use regular craft felt folded up thick and then shove it between the dash and windshield wherever you have noise. google and research all the forum posts that show up when you search "3GS dash rattles" or things like that

what does the power mode and S on the shifter do?

@perspectivedrives4920

2 жыл бұрын

Power mode will change the shift points and make the throttle more responsive. S on the shifter is "Sport mode" which will hold the gears longer and downshift sooner to give the car a more sporty feeling!

DOES the Power mode makes it drive better than shifter S mode and can you use both at the same time? I test drove one 2008 AWD but my 07 ES 350 FWD accelerates alot more aggressively. I was disappointed tbh.

Honestly I cant really tell a difference, but I'm surprised to hear the ES was faster. Because the GS should be faster!

shifter S mode makes almost no difference, PWR mode definitely sharpens your throttle pedal and it'll actually hold gears if you let off the gas quickly at high rpm. GS is definitely the quicker of the two
