Default Lexus GS DRS

Hey, i have a few questions.

1- Is DRS only available as an option on the F sport or can you option out a luxury with DRS?

2- After driving a GS with DRS would you say that it is is the most stable Lexus vehicle on high speeds, even more stable than the LS?

3- Is there any obvious cost cutting in the GS?

4- How does wind noise on high way speeds compare to the LS?

5- Is steering feel better on the 4GS than on the LS?

6- Does the side mirror/rear view mirror have an auto dimming feature?

1. DRS is only available on the f sport for RWD, no other models are compatible.

2. I don't think the DRS makes much of a difference to be honest at high speeds in terms of stability. However the difference in the car being planted in normal mode and sport + is great.

3. No power side mirrors and trunk.

4. I get a decent amount of wind noise whenever I go over 70 mph. The ls is definitely more quiet at high speeds.

5. Compared to my father's ls, the gs definitely has a better feel in handling.

6.yes

Thanks a lot for your help ialexxx, i really appreciate it.
I wasn't expecting it to be quieter than an LS though, so that is not really shocking.
Overall seems like a great vehicle, i hope that someday i can proudly call my self a GS owner.

I actually am surprised by how much the GS reminds me of the LS on the highway.

With the AVS and Sport + it really is like two cars in one.
