2020 Lexus GS F: Here's Why F Is Better Than M (4K) - Take 2 Ep. 6

One important thing though, IT WON'T FAIL!!!!

Bought one of these about a year ago and it's the best decision I've ever made

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

Nas Glad you’re still enjoying it! What made you choose it over the Germans?

[@gigaforce56]

@@ClutchKickOfficial Needed a reliable daily driver that I could enjoy on weekends. Plus I wanted to buy outright, not lease or finance. This car felt so much more special than any of its competitors and it hasn't given me any headaches at all. I've heard some nightmare stories about German long-term reliability lol

I'd take a M5 if it was giving to me, but if I had to spend my hard earned money, I'd have the GSF in my garage.....😄

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

Good call

[@donaldlin586]

I tried M5(F10) twice and still think my stock GSF's handling is sharper... I also put Ohlins on it recently. Now my GSF becomes as fun as Farrari and as reliable/practical as Toyota!!!

[@allenzillmer1917]

And I'd take the M5 only if someone else paid the maintenance bills :)

[@R1senb18c]

I love my 2016 GS F. It blows me away every time I get in and drive it. It's magnificent. Everyone that rides in it also feels the same.

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

They've really nailed creating a car that speaks to the heart, rather than the mind.

[@JulezWinnfield]

The steering wheel camera angle is next level.👏👏 I will agree that there is something appealing about this old school powertrain that makes this car special.

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

J High It’s amazing what some tape and a GoPro can do! The old-schoolness is very unique. Got to respect Lexus for that. I typically like an old school approach to cars and this is such a great blend of old and new.

[@Toyota4Life]

This Lexus is also the most powerful Japanese sedan on sale. Lexus takes the title of that.

[@WF72431]

@日産スカイライン I drive a lexus, couldn't speak for other manufacturers

[@alwaysiyi272]

This car is very underrated in my opinion, oh it's very old, it doesn't have the power to compete with its rivals, so and so but one question I have always asked is that when are you able to use that horsepower, on the road except you are on a track or highway 600 hp would feel like 200 on a windy road or in the city where the car would spend most of its life, but one thing that would never fade is the driving experience, and that is what the Japanese do well, They might not make the most powerful cars or they might not have the best tech but the driving passion is almost unmatched, cars like the BRZ/GT86 and the Miata have shown that you dint need 600 hp to have fun, you need communication between the driver the car and the road to have fun and enjoy, that is why a Civic Type R can beat almost any sports car on a track despite being fwd and having less power than them

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

Iboy Dafreshest My man. 💪🏼

[@Billfish57]

[@danielchapter70128]

Great review! I tested a 2016 GSf last weekend and wow was I impressed with it for all the reasons you mentioned. It just feels so balanced and special. And a total sleeper! I am not the type of person that wants every Scatpack or M5 to be constantly challenging me on my commute. But it’s sure nice to be able to smoke someone and watch their face change because they absolutely had no expectations of that capability in that family sedan -ish package.

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

The understated-ness is definitely one of the top selling points! Thank you for watching.

[@grandmastagrimm8773]

Did you end up purchasing it ?

[@jordanbuttkevitz6895]

You can do burnouts. Sport++ mode with traction disable puts it into expert mode then set the TVD to Track. Also to note the chief engineer of GSF worked on the legendary Supra markIV. The GSF is tuned to be abused on the track so yes it’s HP/torque do not compare to m5/AMG BUT it can be regularly taken to the track unlike a 550i.

[@boisantana7962]

I currently own a 98 gs400, lowered with nice lexani ice 20s. Still be seeing ppl look at me like is that a 2010 model. Nope 98 with 1uz fe vvti baby pushing about 320 hps rite now

[@ryanb8736]

I had a 98 gs400 and loved that car. It was a quick car for its time. That generation was the last of the real Lexus where they were always trying to stay ahead. I ended up moving to Audi years later and now I have an RS3 which is amazing! Ultra quick with AWD and an amazing sound from the famous 5 cylinder turbo.

[@p_enta5012]

I leased one of these new around 7 months ago. Amazing car!

[@bodegaboys7475]

Hope I can purchase once you turn in

[@SilverLightning88]

Excellent and insightful review! Numbers do not tell the whole story... which is why I’m currently searching for an Ultrasonic Blue GSF. Was lucky enough to go to a Lexus track event and drive GSF&RCF pretty hard. Very capable cars that are reliable. Highly recommend both for those who want an everyday performance car!

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@spencer82rocks]

I got Lexus GS200T low miles and I love it, GS little brother of this one, perfect design, few on the round makes it spectacular

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

Congrats! Hope it treats you well for many years to come!

[@spencer82rocks]

I’m saving money now , for exactly the same car and I might just keep my gs200T for my daily , this car cost a lot less than bmw and Mercedes but then when it comes to maintenance expenses I will win and got extra cash to blow , ❤😂😂

[@itzmrchan]

I love my 16 GSF and look forward to any excuse I get to take it out. I want to keep it for a very long time which is another reason I love Lexus. I’m a 10+ years type of car owner.

[@ryosaeba8718]

Difference is you will get to enjoy the drive more than suffering the car in the shop

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

These are facts.

[@MikeB-jn2bu]

What's the age group buying these cars? I'm 57 and stepped down from a ls460 awd to a gs 350 awd because I wanted something a little sportier. I like the gs but would love the power of the gsf.

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

I'm not sure what the age group is because it's such a small group of people already that truly appreciate these cars over the faster competition.

[@computerhelpcc]

Your age! I’m 52, prior owner probably 62. Most expensive car I ever bought, yet having driven LS sedans over 10 yrs plus for each. and paying maintenance on out of warranty 911, figured this way best choice, especially when I saw higher resale prices for IS F 2011+ and Chevy SS than I could accept. Experience tells me I can probably drive this 5 yr old car with 30k miles till retirement….

[@wanyelewis9667]

This particular color scheme, with all the extras (ML sound system, cold weather/heated steering wheel, passenger side memory) is especially appealing. Make all the wheels the same size (Lexus will do that for you) and I'd make it my daily driver in a heartbeat.

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

What's funny is you can buy the exact car in the video (the exact car, VIN confirmed) at CarMax. They've had it listed for almost a year now: www.carmax.com/car/19273399

[@kamtra2]

Also a fan of the wheel cam. Nice work!

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

james tillapaugh Highlight of the video. Thanks for watching!

[@kewl820607]

You nailed it, lexus is not about numbers its about luxury quality and experience that no one can come close too!

[@2ZZGE100]

Given the price difference, it is a true m550 competitor since it I undercuts the M5 by more than $30K or so. Also, those cars are 400 - 500 lbs heavier than the GSF. That is why Lexus compares it to the m550i. It does extremely well against the m550i. It is superior in almost every way to the m550i except the 0-60 mph (but, GSF accelerates faster at higher speeds).

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

2ZZGE100 Correct but the M550i starts about 14k less than the GS F.

[@emekaiheanacho6971]

@@ClutchKickOfficial The m550i is by far faster than the GSF... Has way more torque too and is far more luxurious!!!

[@o-townminideals3104]

Plus, the 2020 M550i has the upgraded 523hp and 553lb-ft with a great AWD system... don't forget the tuning capabilities of that specific motor as well👍. BMW you lease GSF You buy😎

[@roskataqv]

I can tell right now why it's better even before watching the video. It's reliable..

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

Not just because it's reliable, it's the fact they didn't get suckered into the turbocharged, higher fuel efficiency trend. Lexus focused on sensations rather than rational sense.

[@leowashington8991]

Love my 2018 GSF I don't regret buying it at all

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

This will likely start appreciating in the next few years, especially since it's already discontinued.

[@effa114]

Also, I think I love the GSF so much because - let’s be honest - the 550i range of performance is all (more) than I could need on a daily. But I don’t love that those are not the “top tier” cars. They therefore don’t get very differentiated styling, or sport seats. Those two things would make me want the M5, taking bmw as an example. Here, you get the best of those things with a level of performance that you can dip into a bit more on the road. Oh, and it’ll just run.

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

To be honest, a lot of BMW’s have started feeling like Mercedes these past few years and they’ve only just now started to get back to where they used to be. It’s been kind of sad seeing BMW go through an identity crisis. Meanwhile, Lexus has been developing a great, unique style of their own.

[@zeebracove2992]

does a supercharger not give instantaneous power??

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

It should right?

[@hesko125]

I plan on buying one next year. Hope prices don't spike due to discontine

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

Hesko 1 I hope so too because I've really enjoyed seeing how cheap the 2016's have become. Incredible value when they're a couple years used but I fear you're right... the discontinuation may drive up prices.

[@spencer82rocks]

Every time you drive around, you made all Audi and Mercedes look before you pass , it’s been proven ❤❤

[@effa114]

Great review, great car. Would love to see how you think the rcf is in comparison. I’d love a gsf but there really aren’t many used ones available. RCF is much easier to find.

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

Great comment and thank you for the positive feedback! I have driven the RC F and I was very pleasantly surprised with it. Everyone said it sucks in track, too heavy and understeers too much. But for a street car, I think it’s more than enough and it definitely has some of the same magic as the GS F even though the GS F is a little sharper and better tuned at the limit. Me personally, I kind of want the old IS F but that does not have as much hp as the newer cars despite having almost the exact same engine.

[@effa114]

Clutch Kick Thanks! Agreed I’m tempted on ISF. Wish they made a current gen one. Realistically I’ll be shopping in about 1.5-2 years and by then I think I’ll just want the more modern car. I think RC F’s have a bit more depreciation ahead so this could work out great. Thanks again!

[@zyou8er]

I love my supercharged gs-f!

[@ClutchKickOfficial]

They sell supercharger kits for these?!

[@zyou8er]

Sounds great, steers great (other daily cars are 911 manual and Boxster), and no rattles on 5 yr old car. Launch into hyperspace ability in a car often overpowers driver appreciation of a car’s merits (hence, for 911, I prefer lower models over the Turbo).

You can tell all the excuses to yourself but in reality less tech and less power does not make it better.

Think about it though? How many people actually track their car? Or, who races for money? All of those tech, power and turbo shit, really doesn't mean anything, if it's your daily (which most people buy for status and showing off). Lol There's a thing called speed limit on the streets and fwy. People buy Lexus because it's still fun to drive with lower maintenance costs and reliability.

Simmy Yin The thing is, Mercedes and BMW still surpasses Lexus in sales. Lexus reliability is great but their weak engines and outdated tech really puts off most people. I have more fun in my 500 horsepower AMG than any Lexus. I mean even Lincoln already has a mid-SUV pushing out 494 horsepower. It might not have good power to weight ratio but those number really attracts attention. If only Lexus combines reliability and power, they’ll be unbeatable. Lexus already has a bad rep of being a grandpa mobile and I thought they’re going to change their principles when they announced the LFA, but sadly, they still can’t keep up with the Germans.

No hate towards Lexus owners but this is such a downgrade from an M. A proper competitor would be an M550i considering they're way closer in price. Nobody considering buying a GS F has enough money to buy an M5 let alone an M5 competition, it's in an entirely different tax bracket than someone in the market for a Lexus. 4.5 seconds 0-60 is incredibly depressing when compared with the M5's blisteringly fast 2.8 second 0-60 and it's constant pulling at higher speeds. And the look of the car on the outside is dull and boring; it looks like a regular sedan that I could see my grandmother buying. An M5 demands your respect on the road and you'll be glancing in your mirror thinking "wow, is that really an M5?" vs not even noticing this.

It is noted in the video it's closer in price bracket to an M550i.
