2019 Lexus GS F long-term review: Build quality

After five months with multiple different drivers, we can honestly say our GS F feels as tight and as well screwed together as it was the day it landed in the CarAdvice garage. There are no squeaks or rattles anywhere, but we would have been disappointed with any less of a result.

Next month, we say goodbye to our GS F long-termer, so stay tuned for a final wrap-up of the go-fast Lexus sedan.

Finally, a detailed, non biased reviewer, who doesn't focus on drag times and how fast the infotainment system is. And not paid by the big manufacturers to advertise their crap.Lexus is all about the build quality and perfection, not splitting second times and drag times, which in real world count..Not. Superb masterpiece of a car and fantastic review. Subscribe!

Future classic car.

That screaming V8 is a masterpiece combined with a fantastic driving appearance and handling. Real driver sedan that’s not just about numbers but about feel and sound. Being a Lexus you know you won’t have to deal with crazy repair bills 10 years from now.

Toyota/Lexus is #1 when it comes to Durability/Reliability!!

I recently purchase a low mileage 2017 GS F in atomic silver/red interior. Stunning car, best car I have owned.
Truly a supercar.

I have a 2016 w/73k miles. Absolute dream to drive and never a single issue

[robsnizzle]

I absolutely LOVE this car. Lexus vehicles in my opinion are very HIGH quality vehicles, and the F models are beyond nice.

Another vastly underrated Lexus..vastly underrated car full stop.

I've seen Lexus IS-Fs with 160k miles and still run like brand new with very few cosmetic damage

I currently have a Lc500 have had it for the last 7 months and done 17, 000... it is absolutely stunning in every way, it puts to shame most cars worth twice the price, in terms of quality, finish and execution

This car has the best craftsmanship of any sport sedan out there... it is so detailed and well built over bumps you don’t hear anything squeaks or odd sounds.

When I bought my TSX I was fooled by Motor Trend magazine who praised the car like it was the second coming. Few years later after the shiny wire off, I started to see the crappy paint job and sloppy structural rigidity for what it was. I picked the TSX over its at the time Japanese rival; a Lexus IS350 AWD, and I wish I hadn’t done that. Lexus knows quality like no other manufacturer.

Lexus is an amazing brand and has great cars to own for long term. I wouldn't buy any American or European cars, they're good to lease only.

"You're probably wondering what Takumi is"

Me: oh it's the kid that used to sell tofu

[MA-oofw]

ones that know they know, this beats other cars in its class and yes im looking at the germans

[marlonbaird]

N/A engines are the best and have such unique tone... Beast of note.. Enough power u dont need more... So smooth...

[borishasarrived]

Lexus is like a Seiko watch, nice and well-maded which can do it's work for 20 years like an expensive Rolex.

[penvon]

I’m all about hybrids but this car might make me step out of my bubble 🙂

[AbzAden]

The only thing Lexus needs is great infotainment system and it would be perfect and honestly if it doesn’t have that it’s not something that would make me not get it as long as any car has Bluetooth and Aux than I’m good

[oldsklteg]

Trust me I already knew what a Takumi was.

[MaZEEZaM]

I had heard nothing of this regarding Lexus before, interesting to know 🐨
