What's plaguing these new Lexus reviews (GS-F, RC-F, LC500) is the fact that Lexus isn't trying to build rivals. It's a LEXUS FIRST, THEN a sport sedan. Meaning traditional Lexus values trump performance for a better package/experience. It does everything very well but few things exceptionally.

Lexus was the first luxury car I ever owned, I bought a 2011 ES 350 in 2015 with 29,000 miles. I only took it in for regular maintenance. I traded in for a 2015 GS 350 F-Sport with 48,000 miles last December. Granted I don't drive this car that often (I drive a VW Passat as my everyday car) but man when I do drive it, I fall in love with Lexus all over again!

Chris Harris recognising the virtues of the Lexus confirms everything about the great man. Quality, durability, character of its own

Now this is the review we all want. Everyone is out here talking crap about the RC-F and GS-F, some even the LC500, but they all don't matter. Chris Harris has the most unbiased reviews, and even when they are biased, he realizes the true potential of cars and starts to love the underdog for its true colors

There is no doubt that the Germans make spectacular luxury and luxury performance cars. Great technology and performance is guaranteed with German cars, however there is something else that is guaranteed, electronic issues and quality issues coupled with reliability issues. Sure, some people won't care, they lease these cars and give the shitty end of the stick to the next owner. Lexus on the other hand, well different story. You get reliability, quality build and sportiness. Sure they don't have an output compared to their counterparts, but the benefit of the quality and reliability exceed the cost of power. If you want to push your car on a consistent basis and not sweat over all of the color warning lights that will populate your instrument cluster withing a year or two, buy a Lexus performance vehicle (Or Japanese performance vehicle in general).

My 2000 LS430 is well clear of the 2 ton mark yet its a hoot to drive, and even on 20s and lowered suspension, it still drives like a magic carpet. Plus you know you're getting Toyota reliability when you buy a Lexus, and in 10 years, a GSF will still be ticking along quite happily while an F10 M5 will be having hernias left right and centre when a sensor decides to take a dump

Apparently it is factual that you don't know anything about prudently evaluating an automobile. Here are the key information stated by the Top Gear representative in regards to the Lexus: (1) The driving position is absolutely spot on(6:18 to 6:23). (2) It also has the best seats that i has driven in the last five years (6:24 to 6:35). (3) The normally aspirated engine is excellent (6:40 to 7:16) and (8:53 to 9:13). (4) The suspension in regards to ride and handling is much better than the BMW (8:11 to 8:29). (5) The steering is much better, he also feel much more confident when turning into a corner (8:29 to 8:44) . (7) Visibility is much better (8:45 to 8:52). (8) It drives better than the BMW even when the traction control is off which means the balance of the vehicle is spot on (9:27 to 10:01). (9) Braking is excellent (9:53 to 9:56). Only thing this BMW has against this vehicle is just the power which is a disadvantage to the car itself.

The speed it so instant that you are way beyond the speed limit before you've enjoyed the acceleration. The traction was terrible even in the dry due to the huge torque so low in the rev range.

I have seen this video for at least 10 times and together with SavageGeese V8 Redemption video, these two mainly convinced me that GS F is the greatest daily supersedan to own and possibly ever created. I bought it and never ever looked back :-) Love it. The BMW M5 is superb, I have huge respect for it but GS F is just better for me. And original, reliable... You should really try and be amazed after longer drive in it. That sound, feel and also practical living with it (of course sedan somlimits are there but 2 kids with ease ;-) ). I had to move from IS F because the 2nd child. My wife is tolerant so I was able to.go into another crazy daily car ;-). Surprised how easy you can live with the GS F though.

Excellent work Pep : )

Every now and again I come back to this video, and everytime it reminds me of what my dream daily is.

Always thought the GS-F was sharp looking and I guess it's just as good at driving. 👍

M5 is the better performance car. GS F is just the better car.

Well technically the M5 is the performance version of the 5 series...and the GS-F is the performance version of the GS...so the review should have been about performance in the first place...

Harpreet Singh considering these are not full on track cars and it's something that fits a family it shouldn't be just about more power and more to but how it all works together.

i only have one of the last manual Chevy SS. If i had the money id have a GSF too. What an amzing car.

Yes, another "Chris Harris drives" video! More of these, MOOORE I TELL YOU!!!

Chris we yanks love to hear you talk...also good production!

as usual. quality review.

I’m waiting for the GSF to depreciate to low to mid 30s. Nothing like an old school 5 L V8 Japanese saloon.

& the great thing is, unlike the old V8 BMW's you can currently pick up for next to nothing because if they haven't already started to experience critical engine failure, they soon will, the Lexus V8 will keep going for decades to come.

I have never driven a 600 hp car, but I drive a 500 hp, rear wheel car every day, and I could use some more power. But agreed, 4 wheel drive may be needed to put down 600 hp, I have no idea of knowing this for sure tho. M5 and my SL55 cars are built for autobahn, English country roads are best left to MX5 and maybe Morgans, there is nothing to do there with 500 or 600 hp. But in ice and slush? lol. Even in the rain, I don't go faster than 130 kmh on straight road, because the wider the rear tires, the worse the my 500 bhp rear wheel drive gets in slippery conditions. But this road in Harris' video, in snow and ice? What next, take F1 car there, and then complain the car has too much power? Cars have their place, F1 belongs to perfect surface race track because it has 800 hp. The review is so useless. Take the cars to Berlin, and drive to Munchen, and then drive it to Rome, then tell which is better. English LOVE their country roads, I get that, but to bitch that M5 isn't all that great for these roads is idiotic. Again, take these cars to bahn, where they belong!

Ah, so I can get it for cheaper at the BMW dealer then? Btw, his expectations for the new M5 are in the same line: 9:30

the GS has aged better, it sounds better, its more reliable and its the last of the naturally aspirated rwd big saloon on the market SO END OF CONVERSATION, BUY THE LEXUS!

Was looking at used GS Fs and thought I should see some reviews. Harris, Carey, job done. Content decisions for a review are 100% informative and entertaining. They should just let Harris decide who he wants as TG co-presenters.

These videos are infinitely better than the full TV show. Chris Harris is great.

BMW undoubtedly is probably the better drive, by a huge amount I don't think so. Lexus wouldn't feel that much off. However my personal experience with some friends with BMW's and one friend in particular has bought a few BMW's over time diesel and petrol. Both had issues. You could argue lack of maintenance. However, if he took my Lexus is250 and just changed the oil once and didn't bother servicing for a couple of years it will start and act faultless. If I was rich I'd buy the BMW. If I had my own garage and could service my own cars I'd take a BMW maybe. Lexus cars are fantastic though. The V6 engine, smooth and reliable. If I'm not gonna be rich anytime soon and I want safety I'm sticking with Lexus. I'll try the RX one day

@Beer_Dad1975

Yup, I've got a 12 year old GS460 - it still looks and feels as good as when it was new - no drop in performance, no oil leaks, no mysterious clouds emerging from the tailpipes - every single thing on it still works, everything looks and feels amazing still. Equivalent BMW would be a 550i - which after 12 years is a ticking time bomb if it hasn't already had serious engine and electrical issues that would write the car off mechanically. BMW don't build anything to last anymore - for Lexus, it's part of the DNA of the brand.

Have a GSF and I absolutely love it!

14:32 I wish the running lights lined up with the head light shape.. they look like an after thought in that spot.

I've owned Lexus and BMW's. Give it 5 years and the BMW cabin will be falling apart. The lexus will still look pristine afte 5 years and even 10. And thats tha cabin only. BMW's are ultimate driving machines for the first 5 years, after that they will be the ultimate headache.

It’s a mad cabin for a completely mad car. Chris Harris said it best.

this was beautifully shot

We have two Lexus cars (Lexi?) for our South Wales Chauffeur business, RX450h Advance & GS300h Premier, and find them great for reliability and comfort. As for no postcode search on the Sat Nav there is page one and two for the Navigation and the Postcode function is on page two. Love the video especially as it is quite local to me.

Chris is so much more natural in these videos compared to the TV program.

Lexus is a more pure car, it's more of a traditional V8 sports sedan. In Australia at least a lot cheaper too it's more the price of a of a 540i M Sport than an M5. The other thing is if you want to pick up a 5-10 year old GS F down the track, it's probably a viable option. A used M5 with it's ultra sophisticated electronics, twin turbo and DCT, means it's probably going to be off limits for most used car buyers who don't want to (or a able to) remortgage their homes for servicing and repairs.

I have an E39 M5 and I have to agree, I really think I'd rather have the Lexus. If it were a manual, it'd be the superior car hands down in my opinion. Granted the new M5 has AWD, but I have to agree that the F10 is just too much of a handful in conditions like those.
