This gen GS is honestly one of the best looking sedans lexus has made in my opinion. The side and rear profile look better than the new ones

Hey man, you are helping out ALOT of people with these reviews. Keep up the great work. Thank you

I bought one of these shortly after watching this review. 2009 GS350 AWD with 109k miles. People thought I was nuts for buying a car with over 100k miles, but frankly this thing is holding up MUCH better than my girlfriend's 2012 BMW with 80k miles. I love my Lexus

Lexus= great luxury, great quality, excellent reliability,

Reliability .. luxury .. sporty .. family car Lexus is the sheikh of cars 👑

Bought one in 2011. Still have it. Battery, lower control arms and a water pump is all I have replaced in 11 years of ownership. Best car I have ever owned.

Decent and sensible tips. Remember though, WD40 is not a lubricant, however much they try to sell it as such. You need something much more viscous for door hinges.

I own a 2006 Lexus GS300. I bought it used in 2012. Great price for this car. I still own this car and really love it! Is it perfect? Of course not, but it performs very well and is super comfortable. Great car to travel in. At 50,000 miles the car had carbon build up and needed an engine rebuild. Lexus did FREE of charge. I ended up with virtually a new engine. The car is still performing quite well......

Be sure to add the rattling at cold start. Older engines have a VVT-i system related rattle that is not dangerous, but more of an annoyance when the engine is cold. It is due to a worn spring before oil pressure locks the gear in place. After warming up and starting the noise is not repeated. This applies to the 3,5 liter models including the Hybrid and Toyota Camry.

Great review! Thanks for adding this to your channel.

Best used car reviewer on KZfaq, useful information and entertaining

Just bought a 2008 silver gs 350 and I love it!!!

I really enjoyed this video and your style. 👌🏼

Outstanding job my friend

Great video! Thanks for the helpful information.

01:35 Dreel holes in them. No sheet.

Thanks for the video. I plan on getting one in the upcoming weeks. I commute daily for work. I wanted the V6, but not sure. Not to picky on gas, but don't want to just blow $$$ if I don't need to.

excellent video, its very informative and funny and on point i love it. Keep up the good work! Maybe next review can be of the predecessor of this GS? I'd love to see a video about that.

Nice video mate and some good detail in the commentary. I have a '05 GS 300 with only 112,000 kms and so far it is fantastic.

Let me save everyone about 6 minutes: these cars don't break.

Good information many thanks. Was thinking of buying the GS300, but now I'm not happy to know about the carbon build up issue.

Seems like a great used buy, very attractive car!

I already knew most of the info, but good job turning it into a watchable video!

Excellent guide ! thanks for making it !

Thanks, very helpful review.

I have a Lexus GS300 SE-L. 2006 car and it's fantastic in every way. Silent, comfortable, reliable and very fast! It also returns 43mpg on a motorway at 75mph in cruise and between 21 and 29mpg around town. (UK figures) I will not be changing my car for a very long time. Since I've owned it, I've changed the oil and filter every 3,000 miles, using fully synthetic oil only. Apart from that I've only spent a total of £500 on the car, including tyres; making it the cheapest to run car I've ever owned. You're right about the door hinges, I solved the issue with a light spray of WD40 - no more problems. These are arguably the best mid-size saloons in the world in my opinion

great comprehensive video. Thanks brother

Great video, the best review I have seen for. In dept which is great because I am contemplating buy one. Definitely gona get GS350.

Just the video I was hoping for. I already have a 2010 Lexus GS 300 but this video is very informative and now I know more about the car and what to expect in the future. Thanks bro, keep up the good work!

im a 2006 gs430 owner best car i have ever had by far. fast, smooth, comfortable and incredible reliability

I am looking forward to buy this car. Thanks alot for the awesome detailed video.

Its a really nice car actually, and for the time being when it came out the equipment was really ahead of competitors. I had one before and it hade, cooled and heated seat, back up camera, touchscreen for multimedia etc, softclose, rear heated seats and of course the other thing he mentioned in the video. For 2007 model year thats prettyr nice! Only downside was the engine noice though.... It was a 450h so it hade the CVT transmission which locks the rpm in some wierd way and changes gears ther after which made a really boring noice, but it was pretty fast though.

Good review, nicely done.

very useful review thank you

Great review 👍🏻

Great video thanks!

Thank you. Very useful.

Great video!!!

Hi DCR... great video! I am about to buy a low mileage GS 350 from 2013. Have the issues you mentioned in this video been addressed in the newer model? My only real concern is the adaptive variable suspension (middle east version). Please advise.

These hold higher resale value than all of its German rivals for a very good reason. They're made to last unlike their high tech complicated German counterparts. My parents prefer Mercedes if I do get one but they don't know that this is not their W123 W124 luxury tanks these are high tech fragile luxury phones. If I want a Luxury that lasts,Lexus is the only option.

Very honest, practical and direct to the point. this video helped me to broadeing my search for a good, reliable highway cruiser besides Ze Germans. Thank you.

thank you for the advice

All the new hybrid Lexus range at the moment are the most reliable new cars in Europe on sale better than any new diesel

best review!!

Thanks, can you review the RX350 and the LS460 ?

I have the gs450h 2011, it's an awesome car.

Awesome job dude, appreciate it a lot. What about the RX Lexus, I am looking at 2010 one mostly the air suspension parts and the battery pack for the Hybrid one, if it goes out how much does it cost. :)

It seems the 2006 has transmission issues that them from a solenoid and computer management of the transmission. The computers surface mount components solder develop micro fracture over years from cooling and heating cycles. These micro fractures cause varying resistance and in turn the signal is compromised. You will notice harder shifting as it progresses. the 2006 gs300 I own is on it's second transmission. There is also a high pressure fuel regulator that goes out and can cost a lot more than it should. The dealerships will try to replace the entire fuel rail. Given the older age of a typical gs experiencing these issues. It'll more than likely break the brittle plastic of the injector when they remove them from the fuel rail. At $400 a pop, cost can go up quick. They will also try to sell you a new fuel rail. If you go online and dig around for more information. There is a service manual that details the proper procedure. It entails removing just the high pressure fuel sensor and machining the fuel rail on the car to seat the sensor better. The computer that causes the transmission issues can be sent of for repair found online. They will refurbish it and send it back. I'd suggest that if anyone start to notice the transmission doing this behavior.

Hi m8. Can you do video on LEXUS LS600HL please. Really want this can but don't know too much about them. Thanks

thank you very much!

useful... thank you

Great vid. Only things i would add: The batteries can be replaced separatly so it can cost less , but here in the uk they about 50/ piece.. According to forums and my experience I went / and recommend the 450h over the 300 in every ways. And definetly buy one after 2007 , the oil consumption probs been sorted after. They r amazing cars, of course not flowless, but far mor realible then others..

Great review never seen one with cloth seats before. Main issues; TPMS, a real pain in the arse, sensors expensive from Lexus, I am in the UK, things may be difference in other countries The cooled seats have the cooling power of an asthmatic mouse Check the exhaust at the 'y' joints Lexus exhaust very expensive. Check for wheel corrosion, every Lexus I have has this issue Good points Very good economy for 3.0 v6 can do 38mpg on motorway Very quiet and refined Fully loaded as standard, keyless, electric seats, blinds, xenon, heated seats, dual zone climate etc Very reliable

Did you do a video like this for the GS350

You the man

Older models of Lexus GS and LS would also be nice.

On my GS300 only had a failure of electronic steering system. Expensive to fix

Can you do the (2012-2020) Lexus GS review?

I found a 06 lexus gs430 with 40k miles, all it needed was the car to be put in relearn mode to straighten out the rack and pinion.

Mjf theme in background 😎🤳🏾

Review the base Mercedes CLK 200 kompressor w209/c209 with hardtop please.

please make a vid for the first gen SC

I want to buy the hybrid version but I don't know what to look for. Very hard for a non mechanic to understand in which state it is before one buys it. It has 215.000km so I am scared that the battery pack will fail soon.

You forgot to mention main problem in V8 models which is ABS uinet it fail after 80K km (50k miles) And its very expensive to replace cost around $2500

Nice enough that Buick copy that line per line with their lucerne

I'm planning to purchase one. i have a question for Gs300 owners. how bad is fuel consumption on this car? i heard it's pretty bad and will cost quiet a lot of money on fuel.

Great Vid!

The v8 in the 460 uses timing chains, not a timing belt. Unless it’s not the 1UR-FSE engine you’re talking about?

Definitely going to be my next car. Can get a good one for around 10 or less.

If I was to get a 2010 or 2011 all the leaks would have been already fixed by then?

Love my GS 450h

is it a bad idea to buy a 2009 GS450h with 280,000 kms?

I'm looking to buy an '08-'11 GS350 for nice weather and an '05-'09 GX470 to drive during winter conditions. Both should cost me about what I'd pay for a new Corolla.

Great video! Can you make a video on Land-Cruiser 120? 2003-2009

Thanks a lot for your GS300 and GLK350 review. But from your review I don't know which one is more reliable, people usually think Lexus is far more trouble free than Benz, but from your list they seem to be same level, this might be a point you can clarify or improve.

Hello mr. Dracula, You are very informative. Thanks

can u do a video on lexus es 350 (2017)

Thank you. In 2022, you can answer which car is the best, as asked in the beginning of the video. The answer: Which of those cars are on the road right now without having thousands of dollars of repairs? Exactly.

I have a GS 300 with 150,000 miles and it already consumes a lot of oil

Volvo 2012 S60 & XC60 please

How is the Fuel Consume???

I would love to have one but I’m quite concerned about the boot (trunk 😅). A bit small for à family of 4.. My second choice will be the RX 400H for this reason!.. Anyone who experiences both?

Damn I found a 2006 gs300 for a good deal, but now I’m reconsidering since that year has the carbon build up issue, plus the gs350 has more hp which is always nice to have lol should I still go for the 06 gs300?

My abs module broke and needed to be replaced. Is this common?

Is that MJF's Theme song in the background???

STABLIZYER

Hybrid version have problem with 5 and 6 cylinders. They loss spark and some time you will hear big boom from Exhaust.

Which of the Lexus GS 350 Models(2007 - 2011) comes with the Bluetooth Audio Specification???

no way its mjf's theme song😭

i have the gs 350 is it normal to hear ticking in the engine its not loud u can only hear it when really close but other then that she's really nice n im in love 💘

I could listen to this accent all day. Idk why either.

Should I buy a 2008 Lexus Gs350 185,000 miles Clean title Grey-black interior for $7,000?

I have a 05 GS300 with 80000miles. It is running smoothly for now. No oil consumption at all. The only thing went wrong is the TPMS which I haven't fix yet.

"This Car had a lot of Recalls"....is very unLexus 🥳🥳🥳....I will recommend the Gen 2...with the 2JZGE...👏

But which is besttttt?!

Stabelazier?

My next car will be a GS450h or a IS250.

Great car for not a lot of money my brother swears by them.

Is the gs300 2006 that bad? I saw a one owner with 95k for 8k. Looking at it for a commuter car?
