Default New 4GS Owner: 2018 GS350 F Sport

Hi everyone,

I just recently picked up a Brand New 2018 GS F Sport AWD USB with Flaxen leather interior. I've learn a lot from this forum already. Here are some photos of the car. I cant wait until it snows to test out the AWD

That exterior color is rare but that exterior with your interior is even more of a rare bird...you may have the only Ultra Sonic Blue on Flaxen i've seen period! Nice choice - Congrats and enjoy

Thanks. Coming from a Honda Accord this cars been a blast to drive. I saw a USB with Rioja Red and it didn't look right (too flashy). After driving a few used GS the Flaxen grew on me and this color combo was calling my name.

Welcome to CL! I also have this color and it is a rare beauty when seen on the roads!!! although, the color is VERY hard to maintain and needs a wash at least once a week! It always gets dirty fast :/ But I love the color!

How do you know yours is AWD? I got mines as CPO at the dealership. So is there a way to tell? TIA

I agree. I saw a USB IS the other day and I'm like wow!. I am having that problem right now keeping it clean since its been snowing off and on. Not enough to shovel but enough for the salt trucks to come out . Pardon the dirty car, I will wash it this weekend haha. As for the AWD question, my car has the AWD badge on the back. Maybe someone else can chime in. Still very new car to me lol

First opportunity you have, drop a coat of wax on. Or if you simply don't have the time, some Meguiars Ultimate Fast Finish, or similar sealant, will help minimize the amount dirt, salt and road grime that will stick to the paint.
