Yup
Agreed. I once was walking toward my '97 Mazda 626 in a Home Depot parking lot, the car was only 6 months old, and a lady was wedging her shopping cart between our cars so she could unload it. As I walked up she yanked her cart out to dislodge it between our cars, leaving a nice gouge in my paint right to the sheet metal. There was a fresh fragment of paint dangling. I looked right at her and said something like "Really?" She said "What?!" And from there it devolved into me being not so nice and her lying through her teeth that she "didn't do that" and on and on until she drove off. People are nuts.

Just purchased a 2015 GS 350 F-Sport AWD it had a little over 17K miles.Really enjoying the handling, power, and nice features like the heated steering wheel, adjustability of the seats, etc. Hoping this one lasts a long time.I just wanted another vehicle with AWD and my 2015 Forester XT's suspension basically went to crap. Wanted something with a rep for reliability.

Hello,
New member... first post. I’m not a GS350 owner quite yet but I am currently shopping for a L- certified F-Sport with AWD. I am finally moving on from Audi. After nearly 20 years of being an Audi fanboy, I have finally learned my lesson not to trust those cars after 100k miles, and I’m over it. After a recent test drive, I am totally convinced that this is the right move and the right car for me. As someone who keeps (or tries to) my cars for a long time, I gotta get 250k+ miles out of my next car without financially devastating major engine repairs. Anyway... all of the Consumer Reports reviews... JD Power rankings, etc... for owner satisfaction and long term reliability, everything suggests Lexus is the obvious choice. I just wanted to say hello and hear your feedback on how your ownership experience has been over the long haul. I am looking forward to this new experience and excited to find my next car!

I recently purchased my first Lexus GS FS 350, its a 2015 model. I had a hard time finding the what I wanted (white with Red/Cabernet interior-dark limo tint), so going with a 2015 model proved to be the best choice, had 15k miles on it, and I love driving it. It is like having my own personal sports car, that has the engine and muscle to back it up. Of course my college age son thinks its to much car for me to handle, but recently was able to take it out onto a test road and really open it up...Even was able to take it for a comparison drive with another Make that offers the same kind of engine, and my Lexus out did it, and put that other muscle car to shame. My husband has had an NX and an RX, but nothing compares to this GS. It has all the bells and whistles that were offered on the 2015 model. Even though it is a 4 door, it is not comfortable for anyone over 6foot tall, that being said, is the only downfall with it. Although, I don't see it as a negative, because there are only two of us, so no kids to ride in back. I am a little sad that the GS model will be discontinued after the 2020 year, so I am hoping to get that model next since it will be the last of its kind.
