Default Can't decide, please help

Hello all, I'm having a tough time deciding on which Lexus to purchase but, I am leaning more towards the GS, which is why I posted here.

Can you please let me know the pros and cons between the following:

GS-350 2013-2015
ES-350 2011-2012
IS350-2010-2014

Which is considered a higher quality vehicle and which one is most spacious as well.

Thanks

The GS is the highest quality vehicle of the three you listed -- Comes in RWD or AWD. The ES will likely be the most spacious but is the least sporty of the bunch and is FWD only. No large "hump" in the rear of the ES since its FWD. The IS is smallest and cheapest of the three -- comes in RWD or AWD.

The IS and GS are the sportiest sedans in the lineup. The IS is the smallest, especially the 2011-2013 models (i owned a 2011 and found it too small after a year of ownership - traded it in for a '13 GS350). The 2014's are a bit bigger than the 2011-2013 IS models. The IS350 is small, sporty and the quickest off the line...likely will get the best gas mileage.

The ES is very soft riding - steering, suspension are all very floaty if you like that sleepy, luxury ride. No F-Sport variant with the ES.

The GS. There are no cons.

ES is for your parents.

IS is the junior version of the GS. Handles like a smaller version but so is everything accordingly. Not a bad vehicle per se. Mind you, you should probably ask the same question in the ES and IS threads.

In addition to what was already mentioned...Sit inside each one and you’ll find the GS interior to be of higher quality in material and more tech compared to the other cars mentioned.
