Even though this GS platform is long in the tooth, I really like the looks of this car. That infotainment system is very disappointing compared to its German luxury car rivals. At least Honda/Acura is trying to upgrade their systems while Lexus and Infiniti are content with their 5 year old systems. Toyota and Nissan have improved their infotainment but apparently they aren't sharing with their luxury divisions.

Lexus recommends premium because their engines use compression ratios that take advantage of the extra octane. No other reason. You get more power and torque from the same engine with a higher compression ratio rather than a lower one. The result is a smoother and quieter drive because you don't have to rev the engine quite as much. If you decide to use regular, the car has to compensate, and the result is a deadened or laggy throttle response, and decreased performance, which of course comes across as less smooth and less fine-tuned.

with the AWD model, you get the 6-speed instead of 8, get increased ride height, with F-Sport models AWD removes variable gear ratio steering, dynamic rear steering, and you lose the larger 2-piece high performance front brake rotors. RWD is the way to go with the GS!

Like the video, however, premium gas does not affect smoothness of a car. The only difference between premium and non premium gas is the octane rating. Lexus uses premium so they can use higher compression ratios and thus more power.

@WHERESSS

2 жыл бұрын

In the US, octane is the most important part of premium gas. However, all of the major brands, especially top tier dump significantly more detergents into their premium fuels. It is sometimes double the amount of regular gas of the same brand. This is comparing top tiers fuels, which have a government mandated minimum that even the regular grades meet. If your car is port injected only it likely won't matter much at all and you'll get rid of the car or it'll rust out before the pistons build up enough deposits to increase compression enough to knock. This particular GS uses the 2GR-FKS which has the D4S dual injection system. It is running in direct injection mode most of the time, and only utilizes port injection during cleaning cycles determined by the ecm. The extra additives therefore will help more here than in a port injected engine in keeping in keeping it running smoother for longer.

Just a shame the new GS couldn't be given a good V8 when a '98-00 GS400 and later 430 have the exact same power output but much more torque and all over a wider band. 20 years old. I'd still prefer the UZS160 if I got to choose between that and this.
