Gs250 is made from 2012-2015 is many markets including Australia, Japan, NZ, UK and Singapore, Korea.

They are sold in numbers because it’s cheapest to get into the GS line.

One thing that people don’t know is that it has the shortest braking distances of any GSs and track time is very close to the GS350.

Just so you know D3 Performance has a nice Tune for the GS250. It is very well liked by all that have it.

Interesting how the 250 can feel like it has more torque…
I think the 250 sounds really good as it is, makes good intake noise.

That makes sense actually.
Weight difference between the 3.5 and 2.5 must be substantial.

I am not a fan of tunes where clueless people just load them in and doesn’t look at any real time measurements.
Also this is just a daily driver
