Default 2016 GS 350 F sport

Just picked up a 2016 Gs F Sport and can’t be happier with the purchase. Have a couple of questions;

1) Anything I should watch out for as far a issues anyone has had with there 4.5GS?

2) Currently car has 40k miles on it and previous owner did all service at the dealership. Front pads were replaced at 30k and wondering if I should get the rears looked at yet?

3) previously had a 2014 GS and the new model seems a lot louder when accelerating? Is this due to the difference in the intakes from the two models?

@40K, car is still pretty new, other than the fuel pump recall, I'd just drive and enjoy.

Never a bad idea to check brakes and fluid levels.

3) previously had a 2014 GS and the new model seems a lot louder when accelerating? Is this due to the difference in the intakes from the two models?
Didn't think there was a difference in intakes... maybe the previous owner swapped it out. Take a look... and pics are always great for the group

3. I don't know what the difference is but the newer one is definitely louder and more aggressive.

Did you check for performance air filter? Valve cover oil spout moved.
