Default New to the GS family

I've owned two IS350's and now have upgraded to a GS350 F-sport. Picked it up a few weeks ago and absolutely love the car. It's a 2013 with black interior. Already picked up all weather GS350 floor mats and a few other small things.

Congrats! If you don't mind I'm asking how much you got it for. I'm on the market for a 13 or 14 F Sport, white or black ext, red int

Don't forget to stretch out, you have elbow and leg room now. How do you like the handling in Sport+?

I purchased from a private seller in Atlanta. Got it in the mid 20's with 55K miles. The area has a lot to do with the price as you know I'm sure.

I love the extra room this car offers. It's an absolutely pleasure to drive. I drove it home from Atlanta which was about 4 hours and it was silky smooth. The Sport + handling is great. I personally love the sporty feel of a car. The steering response is very quick and the engine note when you hit the gas pedal has a nice touch with a solid rumble. My only complaint so far is the front driver side door rattles around the window buttons when the radio is turned up to about 25-30. I listen to a lot of hip hop music and have the bass turned up. All I do to fix this is lean my leg against the door and the rattle goes away, ha-ha. Does anyone know how to fix the rattle in the door panel? Not a big deal but if I can fix it I will.

Congrats! Any plans for modifications?

Intake and springs are pretty common for this car!

There's a dealer tsb for the rattle already. They pop the switch assembly out and line it with felt tape. Well documented.
