Hello,

I just purchased my first Lexus this past weekend. I picked up a CPO GS450h with 31k miles. Still haven't taken delivery but would like to introduce myself since I will be on these forums quite a bit. Any other users from the Charlotte NC area?

Congrats! I love the liquid platinum! The bamboo accents looks good too.
ML audio....jealous!

Thanks Dano, been looking for a GS for awhile and this car happened to check all the boxes. Only thing missing is the power trunk closer.. which is a bummer for a $71k (brand new) luxury car.

Congrats - beautiful ride! I'm diggin' the triple LED headlamps on the hybrid...very unique for the '13-'15 model year GS's.

Enjoy your ride! It's a beau

Sweet love it. Interior trim is nice and different from the 350's.

Beautiful ride that seems very nicely equipped. Welcome to the GS hybrid club - not many of us on this forum.

Thank you! another fellow Hybrid owner.

any Ups or downs about the car since you have owned it?

tejanp

Thank you all!

yeah, I was lucky to find a combo like this. I have owned white colored cars for 20 years now so was on the hunt for white but this was a combo just too good to give up. First time owning a silver car.

Almost everything has been an UP for me. The hybrid rides so beautifully, quietly, is extremely comfortable, gets excellent gas mileage, and has the POWER (especially TORQUE) when you need it.

The only "DOWN" (for me, personally) is the lack of up-to-date technology for $70K+ car. I'm a big techie though and when I compare our vehicle to a Tesla Model S (which was also introduced to the market around the same time), I'm disappointed with Lexus not having the forward thinking approach that Tesla has when it comes to technology. That's to be expected from just about every classic car manufacturer these days.

Alas, you can't have everything! I'm just thankful and fortunate to be an owner of such a rare, well equipped, and "perfect" car for my needs. I continue to smile every time I drive it or have passengers in it.

You'll come to appreciate the "little things" that Lexus has done to give this car finesse as you put miles on her.

All the best,

A few annoying quirks..

why does the passenger side memory seats settings disable when the vehicle is in motion? i understand driver's seat.. but i was expecting the passenger's side seats to be less restricted.

Is there no way to disable the controls for the radio from the rear seats? It can be annoying when someone in the back seat decides to mess with the radio and be a pain.

The nav map is of 2012, is it worth updating?
