Lexus GS Saloon (2012 - 2018) 450h 3.5 Premier (ACC/PCS + Sunroof) 4d CVT Owner Review

Having previously owned an RX400 & RX450, I was a little apprehensive about 'downsizing'. However, my apprehension was short-lived as the car was equal to and in many ways better that the RX's, apart from luggage space. It also has to be the most confortable car I have ever driven. It oozes luxury throughout, with many reassuring safety features including adaptive cruise control. Driven with a light foot and using cruise control, I have manged to get 48.6 mpg on a motorway journey and often manage 42 mpg or more on journeys and even manage an average of 37/38 mpg on daily local driving. One thing I do miss from the RX450 though is the heads up display and I can't understand why this car doesn't have it, especially as it was two years younger than the RX. The Mark Levinson sound system is excellent and you can even watch DVDs whilst stationary, whilst the dynamic route guidance proves useful when confronted with enroute traffic congestion. And if you're feeling like being a 'boy racer', flick it into Sport+ and hold on to your seat. The combined power of the V6 3500 litre engine and hybrid battery will zoom you up to 60 in the blink of an eye. I cannot fault this care, (apart from lacking the HUD) and would highly recommend it.
