Default Picked up a 2015 GS350 F-sport

Finally got the deal I wanted and picked up a Nebula Gray with Cabernet interior GS350 F-sport. Came from a 2013 Nebula Gray with Flaxen F-sport. Liked the exterior color too much to change.

Very nice!! Does this one feel any different than the last one? Do you notice any different in intake/engine/exhaust sound?

It feels better built. Everything seems to be screwed in tighter and have more heft. I like the updated infotainment system, but I'm having trouble setting up Enform Remote. Intake and engine sound seems more prominent (which I like) and seems to have a deeper growl than the last one. The dual-pane windows help a lot with wind noise. My 2013 had lots of rattles and creeks. It just seems like Lexus made the car more refined. I like the 8-speed right now and not sure what people are complaining about. Maybe they tweaked it for 2015?

I agree and think the same thing with the 8 speed. I don't really have any complaints other than when it's cold. And those power folding mirrors lol

That's exactly what I am afraid of with my 2013 GS. There are too many rattles that can't be fixed by dealer because it is badly built. Recenty I met same F Sport but 2014 and we talked very quickly on traffic lights. Driver was very satisfied with quality and not experiencing any rattles.

Good for you that you did a change for a newer model. I wish I could do so. I will never buy first production year of any car again.

My 2013 is as tight as a drum at 19K miles...but I'll probably trade it for a '15 because Lexus seems to have eliminated the few things I don't like about my car (the crap trunk springs are at the top of the list). Still, no regrets at all and whoever ends up with my car will be very happy.

That upcoming US spec 2015 450 hybrid F Sport seems VERY enticing.

Found these F-sport leather key gloves in my glovebox. Either all F-sports get them now or they were a surprise gift from my dealership.

nice! congrats.

i got those keyholders too.

and yes i agree the car just seems more solid. even my bro sat it in for first time today and noticed the front doors were a lot heavier and solid.

the engine/intake sound is a bit different as well.

Mine didn't come with that airbag warning sticker, dealer must've thrown it away.

But I did get the F key gloves.
