Lexus GS Reliability
Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Lexus GS rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?
TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."
The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Lexus GS reliability information based on owner experiences through June 30, 2010:
| Successful Repair Trips per Year (per 100 vehicles) | |||||
| Year | Make | Model |
Trips / Year | TS | Cars Mon/Car Av Odo |
| 2006 | Lexus | GS* | 14 7.2 47400 | ||
To see how the Lexus GS's repair frequency compares to other model years and competing car models, and for a table key, click here. Updated quarterly.
To provide comprehensive results, TrueDelta needs reliability data on all cars--not just the Lexus GS--from people like you. To encourage participation, those who help provide the data receive free access to the site's car reliability information. Find out the details.
Lexus GS Repair Histories
To supplement our Car Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Lexus GS repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.
Individual responses to both the Car Reliability Survey and the Car Repair History Survey are posted here:
2008 Lexus GS Problems and Repair Histories
2007 Lexus GS Problems and Repair Histories
2006 Lexus GS Problems and Repair Histories
2003 Lexus GS Problems and Repair Histories

Lexus GS Gas Mileage

Want another perspective? Since 1999, Michael Karesh, the developer of TrueDelta, has contributed reviews to Epinions,
where he is one of two people who oversee the autos section.

Note: The older the review, the more likely it has become outdated owing to more recently introduced competitors.
Lexus GS Tire Reviews
The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Lexus GS tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Lexus GS--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.
The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
