2020 Lexus GS 350 F Sport Review...The Final Chapter

2020 Lexus GS 350 F Sport Review featuring a RWD model. 2020 will be the last year of the Lexus GS 350. Most importantly, this GS 350 F Sport was incredible to drive and it is a shame the GS is no longer in production. See my 2004 GS 300 Review: • 2004 Lexus GS300 Revie...
I have done several Lexus GS 350 reviews and I thoroughly enjoyed the 2013-2015 GS models to the point where I compared it to a Porsche Panamera. Before 2020 ends, I wanted to cover the last year of the GS 350 and I was very impressed with this F Sport model.

Sad thing, bmw 2 and 8 coupe line are discontinued as well. In the market for a new car, talked to BMW sale, my dear 2 series coupe will be discontinued next year along with the big 8 series. Reason? Same with Lexus, NO ONE IS BUYING! Same with Lexus LC500. Gorgeous car, no one buys. ES sold 45k+ in 2019. GS? merely 5k. It's not amazing cars are gone, it is AMAZING car enthusiasts are gone This is a war. You buy SUV? Now you have a much heavier street legal tank than me. In a car accident, SUV owners are much more protected vs small car people. So you buy SUV, I buy SUV as well. In the end, EVERYONE will buy SUV just to save their lives a little.

[@robecor_]

Man, can never get enough of these GS reviews, Mr. Kev.. It just proves how much of a driving pleasure they are.. Nothing wrong w/ the GS obviously, so it's discontinuation's likely due to a combination of the deaf/dumb/blind masses + manufacturers' focus on SUV's.. As long as I'm alive, the GS will live just as long, if not longer.. Am @ 95k on my '13.. All while still on the lookout for a GS F.. Got a feeling that there'll be more GS reviews coming in the not too distant future.. Thanks again, Mr. Lex!

[@ajclark6815]

Thank you for the change of heart with the GS 350 F Sport. As it stands, I'm keeping my 2018 GS 350 F Sport after my lease is up. It's that great of a vehicle drive and own. Lexus made a huge mistake by discontinuing the GS. They could've kept it fresh and exciting like the Germans did for their midsize luxury sedans. The only compliant I have with the GS 350 F Sport is cost of tire replacements and front brake services. Otherwise, it's a great vehicle to own. The ES just can't fill the shoes of the GS. Lexus salespeople wants their customers to think otherwise, but that's fake news.

[@Kenevans1258]

I agree. The ES is sharp and a nice ride, but not a replacement for the GS. Hate that they have discontinued...maybe they'll change that in the near years to come.

Thanks for all your in-depth coverage on the GS models from Lexus, Kevin. Your videos have made me understand my 2015 GS350 F-Sport much better. The upgraded infotainment in the 2015, Mark Levinson speakers, exclusive white paint, double-pane front windows, all make the car really enjoyable to drive on a daily commute. I will truly miss the GS model; hopefully a GS-F is in my future! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@ModernDayMixtapes]

We had both a 2015 and 2018 GS 350 F-Sport RWD at the same time. The 2018 was definitely more responsive to drive and seemed to handle and be as much fun to drive as the 2015 while being smoother, more luxurious, and more refined. This was the review I've been waiting for on this car. The pre-facelift and facelift GS models are very different! Lexus doesn't go into any detail about any changes that were made, but there were tons!

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Thank you for sharing this my friend! Yea although I haven't tried a 2018, those are similar sentiments to how I felt about this 2020 GS vs the 2015 although I still like the 13-15 cars. You're right, Lexus never properly discloses the changes even to the press but the changes are there and very prevalent. Happy holidays!

[@Capitalistic_Commie]

@@MeynMotorGroup May I ask if you had an opportunity to drive a 2018 model. If so, is it as good as the 2020 model from this video or not as good as similar to the 2016 model?

[@7477238]

The fact that you can get an AWD version of this to still weigh under 4000lbs is pretty impressive considering the space and comfort factor. I've said it before and I'll say it again; Lexus cars are a solid choice because refinement is at the top of the priority list yet you can still spiritedly drive it if you wish to do so. Add in that you have AWD (made even better with winter tires of course) and all of the creature comforts along with reliability it's worth every nickel.

[@stephendibari5010]

BMW’s cant compare, they all turn to crap after 50k miles and 5 years old! Electrical problems are the worst.. MAJOR empty $ pits.. Lexus IS undeniably the most reliable, dependable cars in the industry! Loving my 2013 ES350, just turned 40k miles a few days ago. Love the GS 350 also, at the time (April 2019) when i bought my ES, the GS was about 5k more.... I took a pass on it for that reason... Definitely more aggressive and sporty with rear wheel drive.

GS will definitely age well considering it's classy styling, I am totally in love with it when seeing and sitting in my friend old 2014. While I'm not too keen on the outdated infotainment, but everything has trade off (except the LC, that car is such a masterpiece), such a small one compared to the refined ride quality and long lasting reliability it offers.

I had a 2015 Gs F sport in atomic silver , A 2018 F Sport in caviar. And just recently. I was lucky enough to get one of the 210 made for USA Blacklines edition . This one is a keeper. I came from Cadillacs for 30 years. These Gs vehicles have been the best cars I ever had. It’s a shame they axed it. The higher price kept people into the Es . Which is apples to oranges for me . For the record all 3 of mine were AWD and performed identical. I’m subscribed 👍. Nice review

Had Bilstein tuned the suspension this thing would be great overall.

Great review. Living in Chicago I bought a 17 AWD GS this past July and freeeekin luv it. I mention July because as soon as the weather got cooler my brakes started squeaking pulling out of the garage, after a couple stops, gone the rest of the day. I’ve never owned a luxury car like this ( had Pontiac, Saturn, Dodge cars) with these huge brakes so apparently it’s normal that they squeal a little. Hey, I’m ok with a little “squeal” because I’m pretty sure this GS will outlast any of my previous vehicles. Once again, keep up the great reviews🙂

I’m so happy you did this review. I have the same config but in a 2016 (caviar, flaxen interior fsport). The car imo opinion is a jack of all traits, master of none; but still excellent. I test drove 440i gran coupe, c300 coupe, Kia stinger, mustang, 17 is & a few RCs (left out a Macan s for now). My car seems to drive like this one is the video. I got it because the overall car just felt amazing w/ great performance, build quality, unique sporty looks (I love the sporty spindle grilles). From the Lexus’ I drove, the GS had the most solid/refined platform imo. Like you, I don’t care about “gimmick” tech. & the HUD like the typical buyer. I feel that stuff becomes obsolete in 6-12 months like cell phones and flat screens (unless the car gets live updates like a Tesla’s). I’ve had it for a year and there’s no problems, squeaks or rattles and blacked out the chrome accents/grill. TBH I thought the stinger GT was the best driving car but I’d never trade in the Lexus’ overall experience for the performance of the stinger.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Nice!

[@markaromero12]

Great reviews I’m looking at a 2017 GS 350 F sport for 31K ...I cant find any changes from the 2016-2020 but doing more research.

[@robertharlow9531]

There are NO changes at all in the model years you mention - I just bought a 2016 GS 350 F Sport AWD - spectacular car.

[@markaromero12]

@@robertharlow9531 I think the only difference is the labeling of Lexus safety system as standard in 2017

[@Justin-zw1hx]

Great review as usual, can I ask a quick question, in terms of quietness, is GS350 a lot quieter than IS350? Or they are similar?

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Thank you my friend! Yes GS is noticeably quieter but not day and night difference

[@ridwantahseen1999]

I have the 2016 awd f sport. I agree with you. Sometime when you step on the gas it feels like there is a lag and feels a little sluggish at times. But sometimes it surprises you. Every time you get a different response when you step on the gas lol. Also I agree the Sport plus mode sometimes feels like the normal mode is better

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Hey my friend thanks for stopping by and sharing, yea I think I drove an AWD 2016 F Sport with the 6 speed auto, perhaps these RWD models are tuned better but who knows, I will try to check out another one!

[@Geknight]

Buying 2020 f sport this weekend I already know its worth every penny

[@Isles8]

This would be a great car in the used car market if you asked me. It's comfortable, reliable, and drives nice.

[@salmanddj]

Hey man love your point of view i am so interested in this car... I drove this same car with 6 speed certified pre owned exact same setup awd with this inferior. So that was 2017. On normal mode it was very slow and barely any power, when i put it in sport and sport plus it was awesome!!! Few days back i drove a non fsport and it was so much more responsive in normal mode.. i am so confused now i do want to get this f-sport but i did feel a slow response in normal mode but sport and sport plus were awesome!! What would you suggest!! Please respond

[@iheartgs400]

It’s all in the transmission programming. Gotta get them to demand a reprogramming if you ever feel its laggy.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

True my friend

[@xMrDanky]

I own a 2013 GS350 AWD and love it.

[@Istaychiseled]

Me too; my 2013 GS350 drives outstanding after buying used..

[@kiwiinterstates3190]

The GS is just a beautiful car. I have to admit I see why it didn’t sell great at the end of its life. The ES is the better overall package for the average Lexus buyer who doesn’t care about RWD dynamics. Happy Thanksgiving Kevin.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Correct my friend the ES being cheaper and about the same size, a new lexus shopper will only choose the ES. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family my friend

12:50 I am going to buy a used GS350 - please tell me exactly what it is about the BMW-like turn signal you hate - is it the feel of the lever? the clicking sound? the indicator on the dash? You have ranted about the turn signal in several videos but never explained. Otherwise, great video!

[@jawadmabood676]

I have currently owned 2013 Gs 350 f sport and absolutely love it. I could trade mine for 2021 but sadly there are getting rid of it

[@alpappalardi7044]

I’m going to add to my story. My 18 in caviar only had 9000 miles and seen rain twice ( yes laugh at me, retired life) I had a few months left . Every dealer here in the NE wanted to get me out but did want to get me a dime. The buyout was 34g on the lease. I knew what they were thinking. The retail was a lot higher. Pohanka lexus in Virginia gave me 38. And delivered my Blackline to NY .I made 4000 on a old lease. They sold that car for 46g. Tailk about holding value in 4 years . Johnson Lexus was a player also for me. But didn’t have any Blacklines

[@arabianknight49]

I have a 15 GS350 base none F Sport. 71k miles. No creeks or rattles. Quality of these cars is amazing. I sell new Chevy’s for a living, so I’m always around brand new cars. I trade for very nice newer cars. Everything from domestic daily’s to expensive luxury and exotic cars. I’ve driven everything. The beauty of Lexus Is that as a used car it feels new no matter how many miles. Yeah my car does not have car play or radar cruise or lane keep assist. But what it does have is the most important quality in a machine for transportation….peace of mind and comfort. I love the GS. No plans of ever selling her.

[@cahti8610]

love the GS

[@MeynMotorGroup]

I do too my friend

[@digmacdiggydoo]

I just traded in my 2018 Kia Stinger GT for a 2016 Lexus GS350 F Sport with only 30,000 miles. Very happy!!! I was concerned about the long term reliability on the Kia. Love the car, but years from now, I do not want repair bills.

[@fenderbender5987]

Yeah good choice. Also considered Genesis and Kia but went with Lexus.

[@bnfl23]

It will be a classic. Hopefully, they will bring it back with a twin turbo for the anniversary edition. Like you stated, you may want to go back and test all the 350 F Sport iteration.

[@ravipeiris4388]

Thank you Kevin.

[@ezzz8432]

I have the 2018 gs350 Fsport. It does not disappoint that’s for sure.. it was a big investment but anyone looking to get one, it is well worth it.. 💯

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Very nice my friend glad to hear it. Yea not a cheap car but the resale value is amazing

[@jsz2619]

Durham, NC. That's where the can opener bridge is located.

[@rushabhshah558]

I bought my first Lexus - 2020 GS350 F Sport Black Line - and I agree it is an amazing sports sedan. In the past I have owned only German cars, MB BMW Porsche, with the exception of Land Cruiser. Relatively speaking the GS350 is comfortable and more accessible fun for the street.

[@phillieraj]

The reason why the 2016 and the 2020 felt different was most likely due to the primary driver’s habits memorized in the computer. These cars are very personable. It took me a while to change my 2016 GS driving style, close to a year/4-6k miles.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yes another viewer mentioned this as well but oh my gosh that's a crazy long time and I'm shocked it would make that much of a difference. Idk, I think the one I drove was AWD but I'm not sure. Regardless I will try to find another

[@xFlared]

@@MeynMotorGroup The G37s have the same system built in. The transmission slowly adapts its dynamics by studying how you press the pedal throughout time.

[@kempowarrior]

@@xFlared I have a Infiniti G37S coupe as well, can you explain in detail? Curious mind want to know 🙂

Ive driven a 2014 GS350 F sport 110,000 miles back to back with 2014 E350 spor 38,000 miles and Mercedes rattled and the panoramic roof pops and cracks when going into driveways at an angle. The lexus drove like new.

[@Josefy7517]

[@ogyedanjuma7413]

Hi Kev, Could you do a review of the GS 350 f sport with AWD

[@blazegamefame]

I had the same experience going from a 17 is 300 base to a 2020 350 f sport. It's hard to believe that the f sport package or even the power bump has this dramatic of an effect. Throttle response is much better on the 2020 is in normal mode.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Yea my friend those slight differences make a big difference in a car enjoy that awesome new ride!

[@MeynMotorGroup]

These things have amazing resale value but yea this is a great pre owned car

@@JarivLetap cargurus is not a good site to buy this. Check out different sites, craigslist and private listings.

Only reason I want this car for daily driving because it’s naturally aspirated V6 (something that’s gotten super rare for sedans) and it comes with the Toyota/Lexus reliability. I’m looking to get the ‘13-‘15 F sport as I like that years’ styling
