Inside, critics find a high-quality interior with comfortable seats, and although the 2013 GS carries a similar engine to the outgoing 2011 model, reviewers remain pleased with its capable handling and comfortable ride., , However, some reviewers think that by trying to please everyone, the 2013 Lexus GS may end up losing its own distinct identity. Consumer Guide writes, “It strikes a decent balance between the sporty character of the BMW 5-Series and coddling of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, but the fact that it doesnt really stand out in any one area might put the GS at a disadvantage among discerning luxury-car buyers.” , , Despite this concern, many shoppers might be well-suited to the Lexus GS’ even-keeled nature, and a number of improvements make it a more attractive luxury large car than the 2011 model. The cabin and trunk are more spacious, and fuel economy is slightly better than the outgoing GS. And while Lexus offers the same basic warranty as rivals like the Audi A6 and Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Lexus also backs its vehicles with a separate power-train warranty, which should appeal to buyers who intend to keep their cars longer.
