GS loaner experience
Sup GS owners,
Just wanted to share with you all how my experience with the 4th gen GS was. Well to start off I went in for service for my ISF...Due for an oil change and was notified by my rep about the TSB on the wiper blade. Also it looks like my endlinks were damage so I had them inspect it. Sure enough it is so I am waiting for Figs to make them. Anyways I was ask what loaner did I want to take, sure enough they had the new GS350 on the lot, the last one. I never drove in one but I have seen the display models at the dealer. My first impression just driving off was wow. This thing was smooth, I felt more feedback then my old IS250. Then I had some open space and gun it a little but not too much as I don't like speeding, but just to test out the acceleration and torque of the car. It is good enough for me to get by as a daily. Hopefully they will release a GSF...anyways I decided to take it to the mountains on my way back home as I have to go through that direction. This is where it shines. I was amazed on how it handle the twisties up and down hill. It was fun to drive behind the wheel. I must say I am impress with the driving experience. I wasn't a fan of the front grille but thats cosmetic and my wife seem to love the car when I picked her up from work...this experience has left me with wanting to drive the GS fsport or if they make it, the new GSF. so you might have another member joining your ranks but until the price is right or the GSF.
Anyways happy driving and enjoy your GS...

Thanks for your personal feedback.
Did your GS loaner come with adaptive suspension? Those with adaptive suspension have Sport S + mode in addition to Eco/Normal/Sport S.

i agree hopefully they keep at it and don't settle for anything less or going backwards on stuff. i appreciate the little details and feature. like the blind sight warning on the side mirrors. i know they not the first but wish i had that on my car. my only gripe was the nav as it was hard to get used to from going touch
It takes some time to getting used too. But after that period, there is no going back

I have a GS400 and finally went for a test drive in a GS350. Wow, great car, so smooth, awesome steering feel, far better than my GS. The V6 has excellent power, but compared to a V8, it feels "busy" and I just don't like the sound of a V6, spoiled I guess? But, yes, I would absolutely buy a new GS if I could.
