GSdre

I must say, my GS300 (1999) is 16 years old , I have minor things wrong with it such as worn suspension and a few codes , but with all that said , I have owed cars that would break the minute something was wrong , it's been 3 years of owning this car with the same issues I got it with , and it is consistently reliable. I give the GS model a 9.5 in one of the most reliable cars ever made.

GS brake by wire??? Does the '16 have this as I was not aware of it? I know that PCS will operate the brakes but for normal braking the pedal is still operating the master cylinder mechanically correct?

Good point, I saw two GS2's just this morning on the way to work. One black and one grey, both looked like they had been cared for.

I had 2007 GS350 which I kept till 160k with normal maintenance, this generation looks and drives very solid. The other day I saw a '13 with 123k miles.

Believe me it will. Those V6's are bulletproof

My experience has been that the major components will go beyond 200k easy. But, things like seals, pumps, electric motors will fail and those things can be very expensive if you elect to repair them. They don't cost the same as a new head gasket or rebuilt transmission, but they add up if you decide to stay on top of them. If you are mechanically inclined and research forums like this one you can fix a lot of things yourself, but it also helps to know a reasonably priced mechanic.

My GS is a 2002 with 315,000. Original paint, motor, transmission. Looks good, runs great!

the lexus gs has already enough luxury and a great powerful engine. this thing will last you

Just look at the previous generation gs350s, and is350s same engine, and same 8 speed trans as the ls460 and gs460s and you don't see major engine or trans issues with those. I've seen 3rd GS350s with over 200k and one member on their forum has over 300k

The GS will last - historically high in reliability for each generation. The GS has the same "genes" as the LS so keep that in mind as well...

yes brake by wire. no physical connection between your foot and the brakes of the car. I know it sounds crazy and when I first learned about this it freaked me out but found it really interesting so I looked into it. there is a main wire that goes to the braking system that attaches to a multiplex circuit that feeds electric to the actuators. sounds sketchy but its 100% fail safe. there is the main wire that brakes but there are 4 back up ones incase the main one fails. and if the car looses power there are capacitors that store energy enough to brake if theres no power to the car. its also throttle by wire and (almost) completely steer by wire as well. I know it sounds crazy but look into it. the LS is also like this.

It's not steer by wire at all.

Stereorob

yes and no. its power assisted but electric does most of the work. try driving a GS with the power steering out. its VERY hard almost impossible. same with the current IS and LS. drive it for a few days without it and youll look like popeye the sailor lol

Having electric assist is not steer by wire. The steering wheel is still physically connected to the rack and pinion. In steer by wire, there is no physical connection. A computer reads the steering wheel inputs, then sends them to a motor on the rack. The Infiniti Q50 with DAS is the only production car with steer by wire.
