2009 Lexus GS 350 Review
The Lexus GS 350 is a rear-wheel-drive sports sedan with a powerful V-6 engine and available all-wheel drive. The GS 350 competes with midsize sport sedans like the BMW 535i, Mercedes-Benz E350, Cadillac STS V-6 and Acura RL. To get a V-8 with the GS, look at the more expensive GS 460. The hybrid GS 450h uses a gas-electric V-6 powertrain.
Exterior
Lexus says the sedan has a futuristic look. The GS 350 has a long hood, a very short rear deck and wide, tapered C-pillars that flow back to the car's rear. Long side glass and a steep back window enhance the car's performance image. 17-inch wheels are standard, and 18-inch wheels are optional. A moonroof and power rear sunshade are also optional.
Interior
Five occupants fit inside the GS 350. An optional navigation system comes with Bluetooth, voice activation and a rearview camera. A 7-inch dashboard screen works with the navigation system and also serves as a monitor for the Intuitive Park Assist system. The refined interior includes an aluminum-face gauge cluster, 10-way power front seats with heated leather upholstery, available fan ventilation, push-button start, dual climate control, 10-speaker, six-CD stereo, 12.7 cubic feet of trunk space and an available Mark Levinson surround-sound system with 14 speakers.
Under the Hood
All-wheel drive is available for the GS 350. Hydraulic controls in the system vary the front/rear torque split from 30/70 to 50/50 and provide what Lexus calls the performance advantages of rear-wheel drive with the traction of all-wheel drive. A 3.5-liter, 303-horsepwoer V-6 engine making 303 horsepower is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Summary
The 2009 Lexus GS 350's reserves of power, serene ride and respectable handling should easily satisfy most drivers. The capable V6 is civilized enough for the daily commute, yet possesses enough grunt for spirited driving. The GS confidently carves and corners, thanks to its rigid chassis and sophisticated suspension, but lacks the athleticism found in other sport sedans. Initially, we found the brakes had a bit too much grab, but they were certainly effective, as our testing showed the GS 350 could stop from 60 mph in just 114 feet. For those who expect to drive in inclement weather conditions, the all-wheel-drive option makes an excellent choice.
