Lexus GS (05-11) - Review Review by Ben Wall on 22 May 2006 Last Updated: 27 October 2009 The Lexus GS – an alternative to the likes of the BMW 5-Series – has never been as common as its German counterparts. But those who prefer something different will find the Lexus a well equipped and refined alternative with great levels of standard equipment. It's packed with cutting edge technology too - there's even a hybrid option in the form of the GS450h. It features an electric motor alongside the conventional petrol engine, meaning outstanding performance but low emissions. Buying from Lexus dealers means you'll be getting the best service around - the company repeatdly tops nearly every customer service poll, both here and in the US. However, there's no diesel option and none of the petrols are particularly economical. 3.5 out of 5 Other Lexus reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 4.5 out of 5 BMW 5-Series Saloon (03-10) Aspirational image, great to drive, exceptional fuel economy on diesels, modern cabin Styling still not to everyone's taste, firm ride Read full review 4.5 out of 5 Jaguar XF Saloon (08 on) Modern and elegant styling, unique interior, supremely comfortable, classier image than a BMW or a Mercedes Rear seat space a little cramped Read full review 4 out of 5 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Saloon (09 on) Exceptional refinement, solid feel, roomy interior, range of tax-efficient diesels, excellent on the motorway, sharp styling Slightly noisy four-cylinder diesel, smaller petrol engine rather lacklustre Read full review Find other saloon cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
