What Owners Say
"It handles very easily and efficiently. A joy to drive."
Anonymous, CA (2013 Lexus GS)"The care drives so nice and smooth, but you can shift it into sport mode and it handles like a sports car. Fun to do when you get the urge."
William S., SC (2013 Lexus GS)"Besides the stability on any roads witch is remarkable I love the performance of the hybrid system. It works like a dream."
Anonymous, ON (2013 Lexus GS)"Accelerates and handles well. Big improvement from previous Lexus GS models."
Anonymous, PA (2013 Lexus GS)"Very good acceleration for expressway driving."
Anonymous, MD (2013 Lexus GS)"the response id very predictable and reliable."
Anonymous, CA (2013 Lexus GS)"It's extremely responsive, especially noted when someone nearby drives erratically, allowing me to avoid that individual quickly. Acceleration is excellent, aiding one to get from an on-ramp on the freeway into traffic readily."
Anonymous, CA (2013 Lexus GS)"Excellant accélération and handling. Very solid on twisty roads."
Paul P., VA (2013 Lexus GS)"This car is a joy to drive and is very quick on acceleration."
Anonymous, TX (2013 Lexus GS)"Excellent in corners and in getting up to freeway speed"
Anonymous, CO (2013 Lexus GS)"The Lexus GS with the V6 has 312 horsepower which from that standpoint alone provides exceptional performance. There is never a lack of power available when needed for passing or accelerating up to speed to merge into traffic on an interstate on-ramp. This, combined with the ability to select between three modes of operation which include Eco, Normal and Sport, make this car perform at or above expectations at all times. The modes of operation effect the transmission shift points, engine responsiveness and handling characteristics. This car is exceptional in all aspects of its performance and is an absolute joy to drive in all types of situations. The All-Wheel-Drive brings everything together in less than desirable road conditions to maximize vehicle performance and safety."
Philip N., IN (2013 Lexus GS)"This car doesn't easily creep up from stop to moderate city rolling speed; you have to push the accelerator a fair amount which results in a more abrupt start from the line than you'd want for better gas mileage. However, once rolling, the car is extremely responsive to both subtle and sharp gas pedal modulation. It is deceptively smooth and quiet at high speeds on the Interstate -- you can exceed the speed limit by multiple tens of miles per hour and not realize it. Steering wheel handling is always very response and reassuring, with great feel of the road."
Thad F., TX (2013 Lexus GS)"Great acceleration and handling...a joy to drive!"
Brad L., UT (2013 Lexus GS)"Good acceleration, very good handling, great at accelerating through a turn, nice ride"
John M., IL (2013 Lexus GS)"The car handling is second to none for a regular car. I don’t use that much because I tend to speed. Our roads have never been in the best condition and this is a deteriorant to use the car because could damage tires, wheels and suspension. Love my car but will be changing to a SUV with bigger ride height and robust suspendion to handle our toads in Purrto Rico."
Anonymous, PR (2013 Lexus GS)"it's a sporty luxury car that you can push hard if you desire."
Anonymous, NJ (2013 Lexus GS)"Although not as exceptional as our Tesla Model X, it’s a solidly handled vehicle."
Robert K., FL (2013 Lexus GS)"More acceleration than needed and handling for size is super"
Anthony D., OH (2013 Lexus GS)"It accerates good around town and on freeway. It handles pretty well especially will aftermarket michelin PS4 tires"
Anonymous, CA (2013 Lexus GS)"For a car of that size and weight - it really handles nice but has the option of putting it into sport mode."
Anonymous, CT (2013 Lexus GS)"I enjoy driving the Lexus GS350 with the adjustable modes. It continues to impress me with only 305 HP. The vehicle ride is stable and comfortable and yet can be tight and controlled in the sport mode. I have seen no degradation over the nearly 90,000 miles i have driven it."
William O., UT (2013 Lexus GS)"Remarkable acceleration and handling for a sedan. Throttle pedal to engine response sometimes disconnected; definitely not linear nor predictable."
