Lexus GS saloon (2005-2011): owner reviews

"Brimming with standard equipment, the Lexus GS is powerful, quiet  and comfortable. It's also extremely reliable, but has only one engine option."

Very comfy and luxurious, but I'm always worried hybrid components will fail and cost a ridiculous price at the back of my mind. Reliability of the hybrids is poor. For a well looked after car will full lexus service history and immaculate condition. I've needed A hybrid coolant pump replaced for £650, a radiator leak fixed for £800, discs and pads replaced, (general wear and tear) £800. The active suspension warning light has now come on, Lexus isn't willing to help. And the small actuator motor which needs to be replaced will cost a ridiculous £6000. If Lexus could design and build a part properly and to last and it still shouldn't cost 1/6th the price of the car. I don't know how lexus dream up the cost of parts.
