have not forgot about posting pics of my 1st lexus

car is currently away getting full detail and cermaic coating applied

once back i will get pics up

have to say really enjoying the GS experience. it certainly is a nice place to sit and have a relaxing drive. even though the car has decent handling capability you dont feel the need to push on as much i find.

i am not so sure IF I would feel this way if i did not have my NSX or my motorbike in the garage in order to have some proper fun but so far so good ownership is nice and i really like the car even though the cvt gb in terms of driver focused driving lets you down but then the car is not for that.

will check this out. cheers

i have a feeling its the phone ... the Iphone was on in an instant

i should buy my wife a better phone! :)

I paired my Moto G 1st generation to car when first got it, my wife also paired her wileyfox. Can't remember how it was done, however my wife has since disconnected my phone from system as she could never get connected. Haven't really taken much notice as I very rarely use my mobile, especially while driving. So I know the Motorola android can be connected. Might be worth, completely deleting your apple phone and try setting up your wife's phone first to see if it is possible to connect as a lone appliance. Hope this helps.

hi

reluctant to do it as mine is working fine! :)

but she is the main user of the car and i would like to get it setup 

i was hoping not to do this ...

Have you ensured your phone is visible too else the car will not be able to register and pair.

The current GS has “many faults”???

One being that it's a bloody good car and totally underrated and ignored 

I mean that I ensure the BT is off on my Iphone (the phone already connected)!

hi

i have a 2014 GS300h f sport and I cannot get my wife's phone to pair with the car 

my apple x connected in seconds but i cannot get the moto to pair i have used the settings menu on the phone and keep refreshing to no avail of signal

i dont have my phone on me whilst trying to pair and ensure that BT is off etc but still no joy

very infuriating ... anyone got their android to work etc?

i paid up for the extended warranty on my GS purchase as well. I normally dont buy these type of things but the Lexus one read fairly comprehensively and you are getting AA road side assistance thrown in which costs a few hundred quid anyway.

you have to treat it a bit like an insurance policy ... "in the event of" ... and going on the basis of Lexus reputation i would like to think that if anything major happens within the warranty period having this will be beneficial.

as i said i normally dont touch these things with a barge pole, and do not consider the Lexus to be something i would be worried about but my wife is a community nurse and her office is the car so with the AA cover etc this was useful

just my take on it ...

its disappointing to read the demise of the GS as this is the car that brings me to the brand for the very 1st time ... hoping to pick up my used GS300h this weekend :(

its a really nice car but its no surprise that the german/uk publications marketing scheme and great leasing schemes have virtually killed off the sector with their output. its going to be difficult for anyone else to make in roads.

real shame

Hi guys

there is a set of alloys to fit an Is220 with tyre size 225/50/17 that may be available to me. I have attached a pic of the rim 

do these rims fit the GS mk4 I.e same pcd specs etc.?

any help advice much appreciated 

Thanks guys 

on the hunt for a 2nd set mainly for winter duties.

let me know what you have got.

NB just need the rims will sort own boots out

Cheers mate!

Yes going to be a change from Honda engines vtec or idtec for sure. But looking forward to it. The car will be mainly used by the wife (hope she likes). We are replacing the CR-V with the GS and she was worried about the size of it when first purchased so I am sure that initial feeling will be with her for a couple of days till used to it.

i could not even bring myself to purchase anything German. They don't interest me and all look very similar. I appreciate there is similarity to the 5 series in the GS but there is more to the Lexus than just the exterior look.

german cars are all about high volume sales and the UK market appears to gorge on it without thinking. 

When I buy a car I want quality and reliability and hopefully the Lexus will deliver.

Hi

is it possible to run a set of 17" rims on a gs300h and put winter tyres on?

there is no clearance issues with brakes or discs.

what is the minimum size to run on this car?

thanks

Good man and thanks for providing the feedback.

will certainly avail of this update once I complete purchase of a 14 GS 

RC is a lovely car and both cars above are exceptional. Lucky guys!

unfortunately the rear seats are pants in these lol

Met the dealer and the car today! Hope to pick up the Lexus GS at end of this month so deal in principle done and agreed. Just need to fund the remainder of balance owed. Full details on when I pick up the car (tempting fate)!

All information supplied by dealer was pretty accurate and they appear a decent bunch of guys. Very accommodating.

@ryanmch67 Mate, all you have to do is ask!!

if you see me about don't be afraid to introduce yourself!

you thinking of a Lexus too?

oops just saw your sig ... already have one :)

Welcome to Lexus @nsxer...well, almost!

Honda UK seemed to lose the plot a couple of years ago. It isn't just the lack of a new Accord - no MPV option, no city car, no S2000 replacement...and no hybrid options from a company once in the vanguard of that technology. The CRV is old now, the Jazz nice enough but not reallly competitive - hopefully the Civic will turn their fortunes around.

Good luck with the GS, I hope it works out.

Hi mate, I recognise you from HK and I have the same thoughts as you. The new civic is very nice but just fancied a change. I will be selling my trusty CR-v for the GS.

you still enjoying your switch over?

Hi many thanks for the welcome.

with regards to the new civic, it was on my shortlist for sure. I could have got a 17 car for less than the GS I potentially buy with the right engine size and spec but in the end the civic ain't a Lexus ... and I fancied a change.

the new civic is a great car to drive and would be better than a GS but it's too familiar and hence the leap into this model.

aye there are a few usernames on here I recognise from Honda karma forums 

Hi

Just put a holding deposit on a used GS300h F Sport today so heading over to dealers next week to view and drive the car prior to finalising deal all being well. Don't want to say too much about the car till secured but so far communication and detail from the Lexus dealer has been 100%

Hopefully be a new Lexus owner by end of the month and will make use of these boards and hopefully get to know some community members etc.

I am a long time Honda customer and will remain so as I still have a couple of their toys in my garage, but unfortunately due to Honda UK being managed by morons they refused to bring the Accord to these Islands to much annoyance and disappointment I have opted for a GS. Been a long time admirer of the Lexus brand regardless of biased U.K. Car mags and reviewers. Japanese cars and manufacturing is hard to beat so looking forward to trying Lexus/Toyota (first time) outside of Honda, Mitsubishi and Nissan (prior to Renault involvement).

more updates soon ...
