Hi Mr Vlad.. Car goes just fine, eco mode gives lazy throttle response hence the feeling of just being lazy with it around town.... Normal mode removes that lazy throttle response and I mostly drive around with that setting... Sport mode sharpen's the throttle response and gives quicker shifting through the gears... Sport plus adds adaptive stiffer damping and quicker steering feel also... It can be hussled along quite well then, especially in manual with the gear stick or the paddles...A lovely rev blip n downshifts too when driven hard... F Sport also has better front brake cooling... It's a big car though so don't think I'll be doing any o that too often.. Apart from that it's a lovely car to drive and has a lovely induction roar when pushed through the VTEC rev band , F Sport has a flap within the air intake giving out this nice feature... As far as how it goes compared to an IS250 I can't comment.. It's not a slow car at 200 odd hp but it's not exhilarating either... It's a motorway cruiser for me and already can get 40mpg on a run... That's mostly doing 65mph though which feels real slow with the level of refinement... Hope this helps a bit to what you were asking... Scotty.

Hi peeps Thanks for the welcome... An absolute keeper of a car as you can see... 1st Owner was Lexus Guildford, till 1 year old then a Mr Patel who has cared for perfectly and full LSH at Lexus Twickenham.. Once I talked myself into accepting a black car I then found her... Has had a factory privacy pack hence the extra tint in rear windows and rear decal removal.. Lovely thing to drive, lovely on motorway and 2 cars in one with sport plus mode , TBH I didn't get a Lexus to go revving it's head off....Just floats along... It's everything I wanted... Hope to use it as initially intended and be a Euro Trip car , like minded friends who are up for the trip and get somewhere in Europe, have a good few bevvy's then meander home.... Again, thanks for the welcome..

Hi Thanks for the add to the LOC Been proud owner now of a GS250 F Sport in black now for about a month... Had my eye on getting one for a wee while now and eventually pounced on a keeper of a one.. Full Lexus Service History and only 37k miles... Researched them a while beforehand and it ticked all my boxes.. Yes, they're a bit o a niche car and only were around 2012 and 2013. I guess diesel was king in that era and anyone loyal to the brand probably held out for the GS450h. I had a tad too much Hybrid anxiety at that age of car and coupled with the CVT and smaller boot went for the GS250 instead.. Nice car and the keeper and motorway cruiser I'd been after some time.. Hope the club has some meets to go to once the Covid dies down.. Be good to have a beer or 10 with like minded people... Scotty
