• Small trunk, excessive reflection off interior surfaces, some awkwardly placed controls.

  Unbelieveable Power - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By Chuck - July 21 - 4:30 pm

  Best car Ive ever owned. My wife and I fight over who drives it. Very hard to stay under 100 mph. Always looking for someone to race.

  Engineering Masterpiece - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By jmh - March 21 - 8:26 pm

  I understand the lack of trunk space - where else to put the battery. Worst mileage is around town at 23; best mileage 28.5 at avg. 75 mph on a 500 mile trip. Navigation system and electronics, particularly LED interior ligthing, are way ahead of competitors. This one was equipped with the collision avoidance package - speed matching on cruise takes some getting used to but is easy to over ride with the gas pedal. I honestly believe you could set the cruise at 80 and head for a obstacle or wall and the system would stop the car well short of it.

  This car has a quiet engine, very comfortable interior, and can go from 0-60 in 5.2 sec. It has superior handling and excellent sound system.

  Amazing Performance/ Poor Cabin Usablity - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By LC Boca Raton - October 13 - 6:36 am

  Hits: Car performs great lost of power and quality all over, Nice features (when you can use them). Clean lines - Lexus legacy luxury in a sport sedan. Great car !! A+++ Misses: dash usablity. Lock out when driving of features on most items, song list of CDs. (Only can play MP3 CDs (255 song limit) NO DVD MP3 even though it is a DVD changer.) Radio list remains at speed (why is this so different than a CD list I have no idea). 2007 Acura MDX have it right when it comes to the Glass Dash. You can use the features as expected. Lexus (Toyota) has taken conservative to a new level. I hope they lighten up and come up with a software update. (Ill even sign a waiver.) PLEASE LEXUS fix this!

  Best of Both Worlds - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By Rick Crall - July 19 - 7:20 am

  My experience with the Lexus GS 450h, although brief, has been overwhelmingly positive, both in terms of performance and mileage. I drive 500+ miles a week; 80% highway, 20% city. I have consistently been averaging 28+ mpg highway (150 + mile trips), 27+ mpg city (5-15 mile trips). Having the minute-to-minute feedback from the gas consumption screen enables you to maximize your mpg, and once you learn the correct way to drive a hybrid, the fuel economy is certainly attainable, if not beatable! And that includes a mixture of usual gas-hungry aggressive driving such as frequent quick accelerations such as merging from an entrance ramp, and just blowing away fellow drivers when passing.

  Green luxury - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By flid - February 17 - 4:53 am

  This car rocks. Excellent style and finish with all Lexus has to offer, while setting the bar on environmental responsibility for discriminating buyers. Performance is off the chart for a hybrid and I am averaging approx 27.5 MPG at 15,000 miles. Service is Lexus excellence plus and I couldnt be happier with this vehicle. Anyone who can afford to make a vehicle purchase decision based on luxury, performance and most importantly environmental impact should consider this car.

  A superb sedan - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By former vette owner - August 15 - 3:43 am

  I migrated from an 06 Corvette C6, and was expecting a letup in performance. Not so! This car is extremely fun to drive, and I am averaging around 26 mpg, compared to 19 in the much-lighter Corvette. I am totally satisfied with this, my first Lexus ever.

  An opinion - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By hadrien - November 17 - 8:36 pm

  It is not a BMW 550i, but it comes quite close in terms of handling. Interior materials are a bit superior to those seen in a BMW, especially when it comes to sound. Given Lexus/Toyota high levels of reliability this vehicle was a better choice for me.

  Practical and fun - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By jeffw54 - September 24 - 8:20 am

  Love the acceleration and the feeling of driving a "sports" car while getting decent gas mileage. Have owned two other Lexus vehicles and this vehicle continues the streak of flawless fit and finish. Ive gotten many compliments and a few negative comments about having a "luxury hybrid". I chalk those comments up to jealousy. Gas mileage has been consistently in the 24 - 26 mpg range (and I have a lead foot sometimes). With Virginias tax credit, this wasnt that much more expensive than the regular GS model and I get to use HOV lanes!
