• Blistering performance, seamless hybrid operation, super-silent ride, fine build and materials quality, athletic handling.

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

  Incredible performance - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By link - May 12 - 11:16 pm

  The performance of this car is mind-boggling. If you floor the gas while driving at 70 to 80 mph, you WILL get pushed back into your seat and blow by everything else on the road. If you are over 6 feet tall, you should definitely sit in a GS before purchasing, especially if you tend to sit straight in your seat. Im 6 1" and my head touches the roof. The trunk is definitely tiny, but I personally do not place large suitcases or any other significant cargo into the trunk on a daily basis, so this is a non-issue. For trips to Costco or the airport, we just use the other car, an SUV. The navigation voice recognition takes some practice, but otherwise the nav system itself is powerful

  What an awesome car - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By supercooper - April 26 - 3:06 am

  I just drove my car home last night and still have to set up all the bells and whistles, but what a lot of fun just driving has been for 24 hrs. This car is smoking fast and the power is so smooth and linear - it just keeps pulling until you are well over 100.

  Quiet, reliable, satisfying power - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By otis - October 3 - 4:46 am

  This car blew my mind. I have never accelerated so fast from 70mph and in such comfort and tactile excellence. 24 mpg is great with this level of performance. Navigation is intuitive and easy to talk to. The music system sounds like Im in a concert hall. I love this car.

  I found the perfect car - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By Deej - September 11 - 4:56 pm

  My wife and I decided to go from 3 cars to 2, so we traded in a 2001 Accord EX V6 and a 2003 BMW M3 for the GS 450h. We ended up with a car that carries people better than the Accord, performs better than the M3 (really), and gets better gas mileage than either (we get between 26 and 27 mpg). If you drive it like a high-powered sports car, it will perform like same - right down to gas mileage in the teens. If you drive it like a sedan, it will give you all that plus another 5 mpg. Visibility is excellent. Controls are perfect. Everybody can find a comfortable seating position.

  Lexus GS 450h - Nice but not great - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By Andy Kimball - May 14 - 10:16 am

  I received one of the first Lexus GS 450h hybrid sedans. I had been driving an LS model. The GS definitely feels like a step down in luxury. I have been getting a disappointing 20-21 miles per gallon. The interior feels cramped compared to the LS. However, the GS hybrid has plenty of power and is fun to drive. I would think twice before spending the extra money to get the hybrid model of this car.

  Certified GS450h - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By winks - August 4 - 9:03 am

  I recently purchased a certified GS450h. It is in excellent condition and having the 161 pt check done gives me peace of mind. I am blown away with how fast it is. A friend with a Porsche drove it and said it is much quicker off the line. The lines are great and I love the the design hasnt changed, so you cant tell that it isnt brand new. Got to love the Lexus Experience.

  Great ride - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By Dan - May 26 - 7:53 pm

  Wonderful car overall. I had owned an Acura RL and BMW 5 series prior to purchasing the Hybrid GS450 only about 4 weeks ago. Downsides are small trunk space and less than predicted fuel economy (so far, only one tank and I got 22 MPG...the vehicle rating claims are 24-28 MPG). I find the car to be a great combination of comfort and performance.

  You can almost have it all - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By bhamer - May 15 - 11:50 pm

  What I wanted: reliability, green car, sporty handling and acceleration, ability to fit five passengers, ultimate comfort, 4 wheel drive. What I got: everything but 4 wheel drive. What an amazing car. Dont be fooled by the similar appearance to other GS versions. I test drove the standard gas version of this car and found it lackluster, noisy and boring. This car is totally different. It is the fastest and most powerful in the GS line up and has remarkable acceleration. It gets around 27 mpg in non performance mode too. Its an amazing blend of comfort and technology.

  Incredibly Mediocre - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By BLS - January 27 - 10:13 pm

  I bought this after 3 BMWs and did so because service is so awful on BMWs in Southern California. Lexus service is truly amazing and so far ahead of any other car type that it is hard to believe. However, this car is like driving down the road on a jello square. It handles loosely, and because of the continuously variable transmission it feel like you are driving a motor boat more than a car.

  Not so happy with new GS 450h - 2007 Lexus GS 450h
  By disgruntled in NC OH - January 8 - 6:53 pm

  Have a 1998 GS 400. Have owned/leased at least 5 others since 1993. This one does not live up to the hype. Extremely annoying feeling of gas- electric-gas kickin/out etc. at speeds around 59 mph. Miniscule trunk. I am currently attempting to get out from under this "Edsel". PS: the mileage is really only a 4-5 mpg better than my GS 400.
