    I have a Lexus GS430 and it still runs like a brand new car and can still leave most cars in my dust effortlessly. Its amazing my wife has a rx400h and it's still perfect. No other company can build vehicles like Lexus. They have no rival.

    I used to own a GS350 AWD fully loaded. Seats are amazing and even the 311HP was great. This is the perfect car for someone who has a growing family but also likes fun (over RCF). Too bad Lexus has rattle issues lately. Also, the fact this only comes in RWD is a bummer for colder weather areas.

      You can adjust the bolstering in the F-Sport models. It's not a fixed position. Not sure about the GSF but the GS350 F-Sports have 16-way adjustable seats.
