The GS 350 is one of my all time favorite Lexus vehicles. It has been around for a long time in the Lexus family of cars and is well-known for performance, style, and reliability. The F Sport model takes everything that the GS is and ramps it up to another level. As you may have already figured out, I am IN LOVE with the aggressive spindle grill that adorns the face of this car.
Lets take an in depth look at this amazing and luxurious performance machine from Lexus...the 2017 Lexus GS350 F Sport.

I have a 2013 GS 350 and love it, It has been bullet proof with no problems, no recalls, no airbag faults, no rattles and reasonable upkeep. Lexus baby !

I have to say that initially, I was not a fan of the new spindle grill design. However, over time, it has won me over. I have to agree that of all the Lexus models, it is most flattering on this GS350 F Sport. I've been a Lexus owner for nearly 10 years with two different models... the first being the IS250 from '08 and my current 2015 GS350.

With everything being shut down right now, it's the first time we've bought a car without my wife getting to see the car.

Just bought a used 2016 GS350 F-Sport (white exterior, red interior) three months ago with 41k miles for $28k. It has the original window sticker & the original MSRP was $58k. Been very happy with the car so far especially the price I paid for it. It replaced a 2017 IS200t F-Sport that I drove for a year & nine months & is a massive improvement, especially the engine & cupholders which are in a terrible position in the IS.

Thank you for this helpful video! I learned a lot, but I have a couple of questions, please. I turned on the auto for the side-view mirrors, but they're not automatically opening and closing when I turn the car on/off. What am I missing here? Also, I've been pressing on the pages button on the right side of the steering wheel next to the lane assist button, but I don't see any pages changing, so I'm confused about that. What pages is it for?

Would you buy GSF or GS 350 F-sport, and why ? I live in Cleveland and it snow badly. AWD is attractive, but is not available in GSF. I do not know how GSF handle in the snow, but if GSF comes with AWD, I would buy it without questions. Now, I am considering GS 350, because of the AWD, but I still want the V8 in the GSF.

@HowToCarGuy 7 жыл бұрын

Excellent question! I would definitely go with the GSF IF you can go without AWD - no comparison. BUT if you NEED AWD then I would recommend the GS350. You don't want to be stuck in bad weather even if it is TONS of fun in good weather. Better yet, buy both! Thanks for the question and I hope you'll come back soon! Brock
