2016 Lexus GS F - Redline: Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 дек 2016
- With a screaming naturally aspirated V8 making nearly 500 horsepower under the hood, the all-new Lexus GS F promises to be the most potent sedan to ever grace the Lexus showroom. Throw in a refined cabin, spacious interior, and wicked styling and what you have is a legitimate alternative to German and American luxury sport sedans. Just don't compare it to a BMW M5, Mercedes-AMG E63S or Cadillac CTS-V.

This car will hold its value way better than any of its competitors.
i doubt any of these types of super sedans hold value well. There isn't a big market for these cars. And people are saying new GS-F models are already being discounted by 10K+
Mally Mal used ISFs are still pretty damn expensive, hard to find them less than 30k even the early years
Lukas most Lexus hold there value well.
And if you know about the value of a BMW or Mercedes, they will drop below 10 grand before the Lexus will.
I just bought a used 2017 IS200t F-Sport in great condition 15k miles for $30k after taxes & it was around $45k new.
This won't break down like its German competition which is reason enough to pick this.
most with these types of cars likely lease anyway
Yes, but for the rest of us that love to pick up used models and drive for a few years and then move to something else, Lexus reliability is a god send.
Too bad because they're so reliable they hold their value so high, even 08 ISFs with 100k still go for over 20-25k
Tyler is right, no matter what car you buy, you should always have at least one car that you know will always be there for you when you second car gives up the ghost. Corolla is bullet proof but boring, so Lexus is an awesome choice to always have in your garage in case the POS german toy suffers a stroke and has to stay at the dealership for six months.
@Human Bean like everyone who will buy this car will constantly drive it at a damn race track everyday? Lol majority of its buyers are typical boring suburban ppl with small families anyway so im sure they could care less if it is out performed by a german car!
Love this fast Lexus. I have the V6 GS which has been a fantastic car.
Favorite car review channel right now. It's in depth (at the same time really concise) and fun to watch.
Kohei O., I agree! Sofyan rocks! His channel is so intriguing and informative while not being boring! Sofyan just found the perfect happy medium!

This is my exact car, same exterior and interior, I put black high gloss rims on it and carbon fiber black spoiler. Love it, very fast, fun to drive in sport plus, a great highway cruiser, quiet and smooth in normal. Travel a lot, very comfortable, decent MPG for the V-8, and I drive the shit out of it.
Ray Braud this car comes with a carbon fiber spoiler from the factory you fkn idiot
It’s comes with the carbon fiber spoiler from the dealer u idiot
@@MrTrained2Go xD
if lexus concentrates more on performance it's over for the germans
I agree.... they keep it conservative with just enough HP to give you that performance taste.
And internal technology
As performance goes up reliability goes down, adding turbos and tuning the engine causes alot of problems, no wonder most cars produce by lexus has a naturally aspirated engines. But hey it would be a cool option to have a fast lexus and also a better infotainment system.
high performance and innovative tech does not go with reliability, thats why lexus is always slower and behind in tech
@@Kimchi203010 472 HP with almost 400 torque is perfectly fine. But they can definitely do better with their internal technology. I don’t see how that can reduce their reliability. Led night lights etc
Every time I watch a Lexus review, there's one thing I wish other luxury car manufacturers really focused on. And this is a Toyota/Lexus staple, IT'S RELIABILITY. I swear to god, no other luxury car manufacturer focuses on this anymore. They focus more on the impressive engine and interior technology, which I understand, it's modern-day luxury, but Lexus vehicles last a long time for a reason, and it's because they focus a lot on reliability. I mean Lexus is one of my favourite luxury brands, not only because they have really cool and nice interiors, great value, but also they will last you a long time, they will still be very solid after many years, and will cause you very little problems. I mean I see older Lexus vehicles from like the 2000s, and they're still looking and driving like brand new today. So Lexus, in my opinion, is a very underrated brand, and it's sad that most people don't really consider reliability as a top priority, and Lexus will give that to you. Why would you want to buy a car that'll give you huge maintenance nightmares and you will be spending a crap ton of money to fix that? Lexus vehicles, you'll be spending like very little money to fix anything, or even spending no money at all, because they're just tanks, and this V8 will last you a long time. It's sad that people don't consider Lexus a good luxury brand, because they certainly are, and to me, the best Japanese luxury brand in existence, even more so than Acura and Infiniti.
My dad has a 2000 Lexus with over 120k miles and the only part his replaced is the water pump (wasn't broken but recommended by the garage) and 1 suspension spring ( lots of speed bumps where he lives).
I bought a 2009 RX 450h SE-L and everything still works perfectly including the air suspension.
In 2 weeks I'll be bringing home a 2016 GS F with 35k and all the extras inc painted disc calibers, sunroof and mark Levinson sound system.
Still keeping the RX because it's lovely to drive and the GS F will be my summer weekend toy.
my dad got an S550 and it broke down 3 months later outside a restaurant. really unfortunate but while we ate the Mercedes technicians came there and then to sort it which was impressive. i really appreciate how reliable Lexus have made their cars and so does my dad because use to have the lexus LS in the 90s. he adored that car and in 12 yrs of owning it not one thing went wrong.
Should get a ls 500, great value for used with good miles, and it’s fast for what it is
Yes, the other big boys in that category make more power and get to 60 a half second or more quicker. The problem is, is that they are in the SHOP ALL THE FREAKIN' TIME !!!
Lexus are built like bank vaults and NEVER break. Driven them for years and they are the most rock solid cars on the road. Period.
Fax, have my 2007 Lexus gs350 rwd with 220k miles on it, works flawlessly besides the alternator acting up
Sea Urchin alternator is easy fix probably costs like 50 bucks
Hey I’m a big time infinti fan and American muscle fan,but you’re 100% right about the Lexus. It’s reliability is superior.
Yea Lexus is a lot more reliable than most cars but I’ll be honest, if I have the money to afford the maintenance of an m5 or an e63 I would get those cars over this. You can not put a price on pure speed and those cars will blow the doors off of any f-sport
Tony Scar ... It’s not about the money, or being able to afford the maintenance. It’s the hassle of constantly having to take the car to the shop. Being on the highway and waiting for the next problem. Not wanting to use that vehicle for a road trip because you just don’t trust that it’ll get out and back without leaving you stranded. I’m looking at the LX for my wife, and possibly this one for me. I just want vehicles that I can daily drive without the damn thing wasting my time and needing to go to the shop. I’d like to save a large chunk of money and buy each one at about 4 years old. With Lexus, I hope to get many trouble free years out of them.
Love your channel, you always make great content! I really enjoy watching your reviews!
It does have remote start. With an activated/active Enform Remote subscription, you can use the app and key fob to start the car. For the fob, just press the lock button 3 times and hold the last press until the car starts (it takes about 5-15 seconds).
I love the Lexus lineup. I think they did an awesome job. They'll definitely be the first dealership I visit when I'm done saving up
I hope u were able to save up and get the Lexus of your choice 💪🏽
"This standard sized sunroof is standard."
Lol
I like your channel. Very informative and not just reviewing fancy cars. Most of the car channels they focus on expensive car which most of us can't afford at all. By the way, anyway to review the 2017 Malibu premier?
noobwow2009 thank you! We actually already filmed a 2016 Malibu Premiere earlier this year. Not sure if Chevy made any changes to the car for 2017. It was just redesigned for 2016.
Redline Reviews except 2017 premier have 9spd
Another great review man. Youre one of the best out there. After the review, it feels as if I drove the car.
Bro, you do such good reviews.
I test drove one of these and fell in love. I don't know how other super sedans feel, but this thing was fast as hell I thought. I owned 350z and currently drive cadillac ats 3.6.
What cars do you have today lol
so sexy, Lexus killed it with the GS F, it is just as good as its German and American competitors with its own unique personality.
justin bouche Exactly. Lexus excels and they are with their German competitors!
i love it, with Cadillac and Lexus are now beating BMW and Audi at their own game (or at least matching them) at a much more affordable price and much better reliability.
justin bouche Yes. I definitely have a sweet spot for the CTS-V. I love Cadillac aswell now.
:D ♥♥♥♥♥
iHeart GT86 haha lol
Nice review and great car. I miss my IS-F, the GS-F had just arrived on showrooms when I traded mine in 😐
Justin's Pit Lane should have kept it those things will hold value
I don't get why Canada gets electric controls in the rear center console and the US doesn't. Also don't get why Canada gets an automatic trunk, but the US doesn't.
That8oySimba9302 cause we cool and nice
US has been getting the dumber version of car models for years now.
It's a Japanese Grudge against the U.S. The U.S have placed harsh displacement taxes on Japanese vehicles for a long time. So fuck us right
@@eojgnoix Plus that A bomb thing, soooooo,...
Those red seats are amazing
I love the blue accents in the engine bay and on some of the dashboard stitching.
My currant want...looking for used GS-F in atomic silver with the red interior. LOVE IT
I think you're nitpicking this car too much, pano roof, fold rear seats, metal paddle shifters,360 camera, rear 3 zone climate, no rear side window shades etc, you want everything? might as well get the homer Simpson car. Anyone buying this car could careless about these options, they're buying for 1 thing which is performance and reliability. You might as well add in that you want a espresso maker and a rice cooker as well, just focus on what this car is meant to be build for.
LMAO Homer car
KingVDT519 having the car MSRP at 80ish k, it stands perfectly well why there are nitpicks. Its a Luxury car that’s lacking in some luxury
Well said.
LOL homer Simpson car hahahahah
😂😂😂
I'm sold on this car! It makes great noises, has a killer interior and an untouchable reliability record! You can't go wrong. I'd rather this naturally aspirated V8 to any turbo 6 simply for the sound. And you are right to not compare it to the M, AMG & V! Love your vids!
You'd prolly steal it. :-)
you can compare, but not 63 AMG series and M, compare with 43 AMG and M sport series
GSFs come pretty much fully loaded already, the only major option is the Mark Levinson audio
This taught me how to unlock my GSF without pushing the button thank you sir
15:24 Lol
I too want to make sounds like that inside a fast car one day.
this is the most excitement I've seen from you =)
We genuinely enjoyed the GS F and liked it way more than the RC F we filmed earlier this month!
Pramort Phonsakkhwa have you watched Sofyan in CTS-V? F-Pace? I mean hes having fun in the Lexus but not ton lot fun like he did in those previously reviewed cars.
Redline Reviews I hope you someday review the CLA45 2017 :). You loved the GLA45 burble and crackle and pop.
Also the new Infiniti
Pramort Phonsakkhwa He was pretty excited driving the new Infiniti Q50 with 400 HP or something...
Currently own a 2015 GS 350 F Sport AWD but working my way into one day owning this beauty😍
Been 2 years. Get the GS F yet?
Sofyan, can you invest in a boom mic system :D. I noticed the audio is tinny and now I can't unhear it :( lol. But as always, great content. And this GS-F is fantastic :O
My GS-F got the details you mention are missing like the rear passenger luxury features (3 zone AC) heated and cooled seats in the back too... I do like that Apple or Android does not interfere into my car space :-) This is a great car for a fan :-) And the AISIN Automatic shifts great on full manual mode. on Drive it lacks the superspeed :-)
Whoh!!! Was not expecting that growl at 4:53. 👌🏽👌🏽
was trying to look for a used 2016 gs f thinking it would be like 30k or lower. Was shocked to find out it’s value is over 60k holy shit
I absolutely love how well spoken and eloquent you are buddy, always using the right adequate word to describe any feature of the car; you are very well versed in your car literacy indeed. Great review btw.
STFU freddywayne lmao. You sound creepy asf lol
@@apthashooter860 LMAO! 😂🤣😭 I wrote that 5 years ago when his channel was still fairly new to keep him encouraged and give feedback.
And I was also making fun of an old wheat thin that has written something similar on a different Redline review about how well Sofyan speaks.
Unlike Ratis ride who is screaming like an animal.
Omg I would take GSF instead of BMW M5.
And an m5 will take the gsf so bad on the street lol
@@hds8182 Yea and be in the shop a day later.
@@hds8182 No it won't, because it will break before the finish line. And how much did the BMW cost?! Yeah, great cost to value ratio. 10% on the street, 90% in the shop.
Crow Killer 30k isn’t a lot.. LMAO
@@hds8182 And your point is? No one is buying the GSF to race. Choosing a GSF over an M5 is an easy choice for me. I don't like fixing cars all the time.
Yep I just bought a low miles certified 2017.....it rocks !
They like 50 Gs now might have to cop it
Beautiful car,fair review...The Pursuit of Perfection!!!
Always going up to Mclean to film. I see you Sofyan ;)
Sofyan, hope you have a wonderful new year! See you in 2017! ;)
these v8s sounds so amazing
Sofyan can you do an updated 2019 video of the Gs-f
Went with the GS 350 F sport instead
V6 AWD, bit cheaper on maintenance and insurance and I still love it.
GSF is still a beautiful model.
Sorry
That hair and jacket are on fleek
Thanks to your Review I Finally Brought one
Great review. My dream car!
That motor sounds great. Add a supercharger, downpipes and exhaust and it will probably be sub 4, sound incredible, be reliable and still cost less than a M5 competition or E63s
being a Toyota owner 7 years with almost 200k miles I had no major hicups with it.this lexus looks like a beautiful upgrade being it's reliable lexus is a brand you can buy.all the other foreign cars might be powerful under the hood and might offer more but I'd only lease them cause they have there issues
Can you please review the 2016 GS 350 F Sport
Love the reviews. Does anyone notice that besides Honda, the Japanese car companies are reluctant to add Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to their vehicles?
We noticed it too, hopefully the other Japanese brands will come to their senses :)
I think Toyota has already said they are going in a different direction with another tech vendor. Not sure what they are thinking, but in car tech has never been their strong suit or focal point.
Its sad when a honda has it but Acura' doesn't, that makes no sense to me
Sexy GS-F V8 sport sedan that will Outlast other competitors!
I find that in every other review on this car, the handling is universally praised especially on tight bendy roads, and the consensus is that the steering is super precise though a bit light. Sounds good to me for a daily commuter that I can wake up for an occasional growl. What I love best about it is unless someone really knows what they are staring at, it’s a total sleeper. Looks like a 6 second Dad car.
But as The Straight Pipes declared of this car in their review “this is about 5 levels above Dad-fast”😂
I’m 19, I already have a 1971 classic Chevy c10 fixed up, but I want this as my daily! I will do it
Mindwinder As a Lexus fan the car is great and all but I felt like this cars interior is outdated, maybe I will wait a couple years and see the outcome
Do you know if this car is being “axed” as well as the GS 350/sport?
Beautiful car .. it's own personality but fits in just well .. improvements
It's too much of a concept rather than abstract. I like the 2013 MY a lot better, in my opinion.
Nice choice .. yo
@redline_reviews The GS-F in Canada has tri-zone climate control with heated rear seats, rear audio controls, rear side window sunshades with a power rear sunshade control and a power trunk control. Everything you wish this GS-F had. Plus headlamp washers for that added touch of luxury. We have do luxury right in Canada 👍. Love this review of the GS-F @SofyanBey
We always get shafted here in the states :(
Keep in mind that cars in Canada also cost more, especially after you factor in how shitty the Canadian dollar is valued at right now.
Mike all that comes in a luxury package here..Minus the headlight washers they all have that.
Oscar Li yeah I live there is ca can be msrp to 95k dealerships are ass holes omg
Well, I know where I'm going to get a GS-F in the future
This is my dream car 😍😍😍😍
I liked your videos when you were reviewing cheaper more attainable cars. None the less great job
There will always be something you can argue is better and faster, but it's very intriguing to see a fast V8 sedan that will last a long time and hold its value. For people who don't want to burn through money and have a great car, this is the one.
Can you make a review on the 2017 Mazda 3 GT?
name of the song at the beginning? also great review!
That is what makes Lexus more reliable and more affordable than it's German competitors, the fact that there are a lot fewer electronics and options. They don't even offer Apple Carplay, which is really surprising. What would aggravate me the most is the transmission being sluggish when driving aggressive. However, I like the fact that it is something different than the competition and I would consider buying one because I like the way it looks.
BADASS LEX!!!
Very nice vehicle / review. I agree that Apple CarPlay / Android Auto and a panoramic roof would be welcome additions. And 500hp wouldn't hurt either.
Can you do a review on a 2017 Lexus ES350?
I think the GS F takes the m550i, amg e43, cts v sport, s6 recipe and makes it so much better. Take a fully loaded model of any of those four and it'll match up price wise. The GS F comes fully loaded. If you want a truly M5 and 63 S fighter, wait for the new 4.0TT V8. Either way I'm so happy Lexus is expanding the F line up.
Finally! A reviewer that realizes that the GSF really competes with Audi S6, Mercedes E43, BMW 550i, and Cadillac CTS V-sport; not the RS, AMG, M, and V models, especially when it comes to price and performance. Yes, the Lexus F models are suppose to compete with the highest performance models, but not until Lexus offers higher performance numbers and match their prices.
Love the sound of that N/A V8~~ You can't go wrong with a Toyota V8~
sounds awesome
Does this car pump in engine noise through the speakers ?
Lexus IS F, LFA, RC F, GS F best cars in the world and lambo too :)
those black sideview mirrors are dope
Shadow 1118 only when you erase every better car from existence
Just because it’s slower than something else, it doesn’t make it slow.
This car is so so so amazing This Lexus way better than any German or American or British cars. And its made only in Japan 🇯🇵 be proud to own one Lexus IS made only for smart intelligent people because this is the only car company that worth the. investment
Anyone:::: Would you recommend the Lexus GS F or the Audi S6?? I am really confused about the two of them that I want to buy both of them but I can only afford to buy one. Please let me know!!
Is this car better than the 2016 Infiniti q50 red sport ?
Can you do the new Audi Q7, Lexus GX, or Lexus LX?
Would you say it's better than a 2016 Cadillac CTS v
What's the difference between gs f sport and the gs f base ??
Can you review the Audi s7?
Are you gonna make reviews on the new bmw series?
the gs is my favorite car ever
Do a review on the IS F
now it's time to review a gs 350 awd I don't like rear drive for winter
This is a good luxury car. Nowadays it is so hard to find a luxury car with big power and smooth ride. German makes force you to go with very firm and sporty models if you want more than v6 power.
What is the intro song? thx
nice video, good on lexus to keep an N/A V8
I find it weird that the GS-F doesn't offer power trunk and rear window shades when my family's relatively low option 2017 GS350 premium has both.
It probably does as an option, he just didn't mention that.
@@ZS-xi4xk It does. I've seen videos of at least the 2020 models with those features.
Damn, if only the rear seats folded it'd have been perfect for me
You know damn well an $80k plus car is $75k out of your price range.
Kool Acclaimed™ Lol 80k hell yeah. But that's why I do a trade in. What's supposed to be 80k will be around 45k which is well inside my budget
+Adrian Macias 40k in your budget I think u using public WiFi in malls now 🤔
@@muadali9465 😂😂😂😂
are u sure the paddle shifters are plastic? i thought they are magnesium or other light metal which make them feel light
najmi ismail We promise they are plastic. Especially when we had the Cadillac CTS-V at the same time and those were made out of magnesium.
This is by far my favorite modern sports car! I feel like it would make a pretty good daily driver too due to Lexus reliability.
can you do a infiniti q70
It has performance, good handling, ride quality and comfort not to mention power, and it won't break down like its german competitors? This is a very easy choice to make.
If we remove the reliability factor then I would definetly go for the Germans
folks on the club lexus forum are reporting steep discounts on these. We're talking 15-20% - around 70 OTD
At 70-75 grand I think it's a great bargain. At 85? Not so much
We saw that too, this car is certainly much more tempting at $70,000.
That's why it is called a LEASE due at signing.
Has a little bit of Nascar V8 noise to it. Kinda old school but also kinda cool
Son getting my Tacoma next year and this car is #1 on my list to buy. It isn’t the fastest but its got plenty of power and most of all….Lexus/Toyota reliability.
dream car
Yep, I'm getting one.
idk why people hate on the lexus grill i really dont see anything wrong with it i think it's unique to the brand
I wish the GS 350 F-sport had more HP other then 306..
