    The soft door closing is so satisfying.

      I don't think the GS has soft closing doors, except for the boot 🤔

    I’m driving a Toyota Yaris for a while now and I began to want something luxurious fast and comfortable(Japanese) That’s why I’m going for the GS450h.
    Like this comment to remind me to come back here after I get this car.

      Sport mode changes the suspension. If you're on a bendy road put it in S mode you will feel the difference.
      As for power mode. I always leave it on. The throttle is way more responsive and never really notices any difference in fuel economy.

      I use it as an engine brake when going downhill. It also supposedly charges your hybrid battery quicker when coasting downhill.

    If it say Hybrid walk away no runaway now, don't think just go. Those batteries are mandatory for that car to run and don't offer much more in efficiency over the independent NA engine. Those batteries are also very expensive to repair aka replace while the engine itself is extremely reliable with scheduled maintenance. Buying a newer model Lexus hybrid is different if you plan on selling down the line before problems arise and the resale value drops. However buying this used model and the like can be a deal or a money pit you wish you avoided. When the NA is the better option to buy it's your choice but Lexus won't tell you they ruined perfectly good vehicles making them a hybrid.

    • @ShaksAutos

      I couldn’t disagree more. I have had a dozen of these old Lexus and sold them to customers years ago who still drive them without problems.
