Default From Honda to Lexus

I traded in my 2013 Accord V6 coupe stick shift with for this certified 2013 GS350 F Sport with 40k. I was having a hard time driving stick shift due to some lower back problems and sciatica issues.

Really loving this GS! I've always wanted a Lexus so I'm extremely happy with this one.

You'll love it, it's a big step up from the Accord Coupe. Power is probably about the same but the chassis is unbelievably capable and secure.

Congrats! I traded in a 2014 Accord Touring Hybrid for my 2014 F Sport AWD. I miss getting 45mpg but not much else.

The Accord had put down 289 whp with some tuning and a intake and hight flow pre-cats. It was fun but not as comfortable and quiet like the GS.

Nice! The only thing I miss from the Accord is the blind spot camera haha

Congrats!

I, too, went from a Honda to a Lexus, although my transition was form a Civic to the rare GS hybrid: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...erage-guy.html

Glad to read that you're really enjoying the GS. It's a beautifully made & well designed car that has luxury all over the interior. It's an excellent combination of sportiness and luxury for a 4 door sedan imho. If you have kids or plan to, it will future proof your purchase/lease.

Congrats, I made the jump from an Acura TSX Wagon (Honda). Hope your back and sciatica problems have been addressed with your new comfy Lexus.

Thanks! They have definitely gotten better now that I don't have to manually shift.
