Picked up a low mileage 2013 F Sport at the beginning of the month, and all I have to say is I LOVE THIS CAR!!
1. F-sport
2. Starfire Pearl/ Cabernet
3. Nav / Mark Levinson
4. RWD
5. DRS
6. 20" staggered wheels, Lexon lip and side skirts, LED fog lights, and Invidia cat-back.
7. I was looking at Jeep Grand Cherokees then drove this and my decision was made. The GS replaced a 2010 Acura TL SH AWD.
And I've already been bitten by the mod bug. (sorry about the crappy IPhone pic)

I got my GS 350 AWD F Sport back in the winter, but didn't have a decent picture until now (taken when I tracked it last month.) No mods, no changes from stock - just a great car.

1. GS F-sport
2. Black/Black
3. Nav No ML
4. AWD
5. No DRS
6. Maybe some Vossen Wheels next year - loving the look for now! Tinted the windows, and installed RS*R Down Springs the second day
7. I was considering an Audi S4, IS 350, or a Infiniti Q50 - Always loved and had Audi's, but they are great when you are single, when it comes time to start a family a Lexus will always win out. Have a 2003 GS 300 and love it! Drives like the day we got it, and I am expecting the same with this.
Looked around and waited for dealerships in Washington to get a decent lease return 2013 GS F-sport AWD, but I don't think anyone wants to get rid of such an awesome car! Long story short, found one in Minnesota and had an amazing time driving back to Seattle! Got into town last night and the first thing I did this morning was get my RS*R springs installed...like many before me have said, what the heck was Lexus thinking? This is how the car should have come from the factory! For those of you still on the fence about getting springs for your AWD's, DO IT! You will regret not doing it sooner. I drove this car for the past two days non-stop and then today after my springs were installed...literally no difference in the ride quality. The only thing I noticed is, in normal mode there is a lot LESS body roll! Initial drop was about an inch. Oh and here are some pics! The first couple are from my drive back, and then after the spring install.
(I apologize..these were all taken with my phone)

Thanks! I think it handles very well, but haven't had a chance to really test it out. I do feel the extra mass compared the the E93, but have no complaints because I was looking for a smoother, more comfortable ride and the GS definitely delivers there as well. The car does have to be put into S or S+ mode though for spirited driving. I wish it would remember to stay in the sport modes like it does with economy, but no big deal to make the change.
Congrats! It's definitely different from the vert, but I love the ride. I wanted the same color combo you went with, but I had to work with the existing inventory of 2013's so couldn't be picky. I do miss the Coral Red from the BMW but have no regrets because after seeing the Cabernet in person it wasn't red enough for me, in pics it looks much brighter/redder.
I do miss the drop top, of course, but really need a bit more utility so the 4 door works for me and I'm glad I went with the GS instead of an SUV. Any mods planned for the GS?

My new fsport.
Just doing my intro on this forums ..long time 4x4 forum member ,haven't been into cars for a good few years ... Sold the wife's lx 450 that was lifted and locked..also have a fully built fjcruiser and a 49 merc pickup that we are rat roding out ever so slowly.
2014 gs350
rear drive
black on black
Fsport package
with rds..
Will be building this for my next shop vehicle..I run and own a tattoo /art studio in Abbotsford B.C ..We will be building this in a modest VIP style car, with full body kit.20"rims with mss ,Tint on windows not blacked out but smoked..lots of carbon fiber will replace as much of the aluminum trim on the inside, will get custom Center caps for the rims with my shop logo on them and very mild graphics for my store..don't worry it won't be tacky Lol.
I will start a build thread when we start the project ...have a bit of work to do and parts to order so it will be a few months before we get started...but when I start most of the outside mods will come hopefully at once. The inside will take abit longer if I have to take the car of the road to get custom carbon parts made or wrapped around the ome stuff...stay tuned.

Hello everyone! Picked up a 2014 GS350 F Sport in Ultra White with Cabernet interior a few weeks ago. Came from a 2006 IS250 and loving it so far. The difference between the two are night and day.
Barely got it and already began the modding process
