Thinking about jumping back into the LS world. Had 08 and now have 2010GX as my 4 wheel drive but could also use a sedan. Have driven the sport model and like it a lot. Seems the suspension is right on and much more sporty than the normal. Also, the steering is more responsive. Does anyone have one who can comment on how they like it? Would love to hear your opinions. Thanks.

 

I have one that I've owned for a little over 3 months now - might have been one of the first ones off the boat. I happen to like it a lot. It doesn't drive like my now departed 550i Sport but in the Sport setting it handles quite well and I didn't expect it to take turns like it is on rails - it is after all a Lexus. I think that the car is a good blend of sporty handling and luxury at a price point well below MB and BMW. I leave it in the Sport setting almost exclusively. The sport seats are pretty good but I would have liked to have more lateral support from the back bolsters for those times you want to take the twisties somewhat aggressively. The acceleration is pretty good and it is fun to drive in the manual mode and use the paddles. I beleive that the transmission shift points are tuned more like the those in the LF-A. and are more aggressive than the normal LS transmissions.
