Welcome back everyone,
Today, I give an in-depth POV review of a 2007 Lexus GS350 RWD. I give an exterior and interior tour and take it for a drive. The GS is a very comfortable, affordable daily driving vehicle. It gets relatively good MPGs and is cheap to maintain. Check out the video for my thoughts.
If you liked this video, make sure to leave a like, and please consider subscribing. I want to hear what you guys daily drive, so make sure to drop that down in the comments below.
Once again, thanks for watching.

Bought a 2007 gs350 awd last year. It has around 120k miles and the value is unmatched. Less than $10k, even though it is going on 18 years old, but over 300hp with honest reliability, this car was way ahead of its time. Highly recommend!

I really cant find a better alternative to this car. 300hp, luxurious interior, technology years ahead of its time, reliable as any toyota. Few minor downsides like no fold down seats but not much else to complain about.

I had a very rare GS460 with the v8. I lent it out and it got smashed and I was really proud of picking that car out. I still love the rear look of this model, and with a small update to the headlights, I replaced them with LED ones that gave that checkmark sleek look. I've upgraded to a Mercedes E63, but I still loved this car. Reliable, and very quiet.

@@fucore85 it did not help me out. However, he is correct about synthetic blend oil, that's what my mechanic started putting in my car every 3k miles and it actually burns almost nothing now with about 110k miles. Also use Chevron 91 or 93 gas if you can, it helps with carbon build up and the knock learn rating on these cars which is pretty sensitive. Do those things and you will be golden. If you don't mind me asking the same question how is your transmission, I haven't been able to figure out my clunky one, and sometimes when the car is cold it will hard shift quite abruptly.

@@colelockridge5816 The gs300 is the dud of this generation. Weak power vs the 350 and faulty transmissions. I looked at them and researched before ending up with a 2010 is350. If you look up clublex or lexus owners club forums, there's long threads about the gs300 Trans. They're garbage. Best bet is drain and fills of fluid or possibly solenoids. Honestly I would just get rid of it before you have a $3,000+ replacement bill.

Occasionally they're just firm, especially when warming up. I came from a gx470, but most people would probably think it shifts like butter. The RWD ones had solenoid issues when you wouldnt change the fluid or get the TCM updates, the AWDs didn't. But ya it's not as good of a car as a gs350 (I think power is fine) but it's better than 95 percent of cars out there

Yessir, bought my 2011 AWD GS 350 last year, black on black, ridiculously clean. I tinted the tail lights and tinted the windows, gonna powder coat the stock wheels gloss black in a couple weeks. Giving it that complete Darth Vader look. I was lucky to finance mine with 87k miles for $12k which is a steal in my opinion. I would love to have the V8 version (GS430) but I'm in love with my car regardless. Sleeper forrr suree

There is also a 450h! The most powerful of them all while being able to achieve 30mpg on highway without a problem. At least that's what I was averaging on my 900 mile journey home. The only "disadvantage" it has over 350 is that it's not awd and it's an actual performance sedan. Much like 460 but it's actually quicker and has more power. It's the same 3.5L from 350, slightly detuned but paired with an electric motor. And together they produce sooo much torque. Most people who find this vehicle look at the gas engine rating and go "pfft only 290hp" But in reality it produces close to 350hp and 360 ft-lb torque and it's instant and there is no gear changes because the transmission is the electrical engine. They are also easier to find than the 460s. 5000+ of them were produced for the American market from 2006 until 2011.

This Lexus has somewhere between a 45%-50% tint on the front. My BMW has a 35% tint on the front. As far as nighttime goes, a lit road is totally fine at night but an unlit road was a little tough to drive on. The only reason I was fine was because of bright headlights. If you have xenon or HID headlights then you'll be fine with a dark road and tint.

Nav must be updated at the dealer (no way around it, there is a special firewire port). Higher resolution screen. No DVD, it has a hard drive. There is also an app in the center where you can track all your maintenance and it can give notifications at time/mileage.
