For your first video, I applaud you! I own a high mileage, dealer maintained version of this car, I got it in Feb of this year. Despite being rough around the edges, it’s a great vehicle. However, I agree with the gripes you have with it, namely infotainment. It’s also heavy, but it’s pretty athletic despite that. The traction control is also very artificial, since there is no LSD, but keeps you from going sideways even with all the VSC stuff off. Great highway cruiser (which I use it for), and surprisingly efficient. I get up to 32 mpg going 75-80mph, and it’s smooth.

Excellent Video...(thank you) I’m 67 and had a 2007 Porsche 911 Cabriolet (regret selling it), then I bought an ES and I gave it gf (needed car). I didn’t want to put out the big pesos for another Porsche so I looked at getting a good used car car. I bought a 2013 Charcoal gray GS 350 (paid it off in six months). I have ZERO complaints: It performs EXACTLY like you described. (I don’t have the luxury edition) but the standard version is LOADED. Recently, I was thinking of getting rid of it to get another Porsche but the prices have skyrockted so I am watching video to appreciate the car I own: I FORGOT how cool our car’s really are...thanks I needed this...BTW I live by the coast as well (So California) I ride by water all the time.

Love my white on red 2016 GS350 F-Sport that I bought used three years ago with 41k miles, now with 72k miles & has been an incredible car. My first Lexus that it replaced was a 2017 IS200t F-Sport that I owned for just under two years & is a huge improvement in every way as it's much more luxurious, rides better & even handles better. I'll more than likely keep it for a very long time as it still puts a big smile on my face every time I drive it. I've driven the current ES several times as loaners & I hated it compared to the GS.

I actually think the Luxury trim is better! It has the adaptive suspension from the F-sport variant with the 18-way memory seats for driver and passenger, rear seat controls, rear window sunshades, and power trunk. The 8-speed auto would definitely improve fuel economy, but I heard it’s much less willing to drop gears under higher throttle input vs the 6-speed. Is this true?

The main things I use it for are nav using Waze/Google Maps and for Spotify. For those purposes, it’s fine especially for the price. The CarPlay system integrates with the original OS and screen, but doesn’t work too well with the in-car controls since the cursor on the second screen also moves with the one on the CarPlay screen, and the joystick’s physical stops misalign with the cursor positions to click buttons on the CarPlay system. But Siri basically solves that issue when you want to control things when you’re moving, and you can always use your phone when stopped.
