    Just got this car with the triple led option, they make the car more aggressive espically at night. Got the Sonic titanium colour and I absolutely love it. too bad lexus enform is not available in my country. Being an owner of the previous generation gs I can tell that they made this car completely different, it's really a more "fun-to-drive" now. will be posting clips of acceleration soon after I'm done with breaking-in the engine. Thanks for posting your review it really helped me make the right decision.

    Should I get this or BMW 535i M sport? Need help can’t decide. Is it also worth the 5-8k to go from the 15 to a 16?

  • @FullThrottleMedia

    @FullThrottleMedia

    5 жыл бұрын

    The 535 will undoubtedly have better handling than the GS. In terms of power, it is personal preference. Some like the instant throttle response of the naturally aspirated GS while some like the turbocharged in-line 6 of the 535. The 535 definitely blends in while the GS F-Sport does stand out in the crowd from what I have seen. If you do decide to go with the GS, I think the upgrade to the 16 is definitely worth it. You get the full digital gauge cluster as well as the exterior restyling and the interior finish is a little bit more solid. I would test drive both the 535 and the GS to see which you would prefer. Best of luck

  • @FullThrottleMedia

    8 ай бұрын

    Between the 2016 and 2015 models, you won't find a night and day difference between how they drive. After all, the 2016+ models are just a facelift and not a redesign. That being said, there have been a few tweaks to the engine and it makes a couple more horsepower and torque, and from what I've heard, it seems to be a little bit more responsive. Suspension is going to be adaptive on both the 2015 and 2016+ models. There may be minor tweaks to dampening and spring rates, but from what I know, it is relatively similar. The only major differences you are going to find are with the exterior styling (front bumper, headlights, tail lights, etc.) and the interior (mainly the digital gauge cluster). Hope this helps!

    +Average Car Reviewer happy to report I got mine, white with flaxen interior. I just couldn't find the triple LED's. Lexus of Manhattan says they can order it, but it will take 3 months to get. I also wanted HUD and Mark Levinson audio. The Canadians get all these options from the videos I've seen on KZread. It seems that these first GS' are missing the cold weather package, which includes the headlight washers button above the heated steering wheel button. I also can't believe they won't give us power trunk closer at this price range. Eco/normal mode is lazy. I always keep it in Sport or Sport +. Otherwise, it drives beautifully in NYC. Lexus Enform is outdated imo. The mouse like controller is too sensitive, even at its lowest feedback settings. I'm hoping they overhaul it with the new LS.

    It is a nice in between of soft and stiff. It is soft enough to daily drive. After all, it is a Lexus. However, it does not have much body roll through the corners and handles very well
