basic warrantyCompeting in the midsize sedan segment, the 2011 Lexus GS 350 Sedan is a direct competitor to the BMW 5 Series, the Audi A6, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. With standalone trim, the 2011 Lexus GS 350 Sedan carries an MSRP of $46,900. It offers a 3.5L V6 engine and a 6-speed automatic transmission, producing 303 horsepower and 274 lb-ft of torque. Through this powertrain, the Lexus GS 350 manages a 0-60 of 5.7 seconds and a combined fuel economy of 22 MPG.ÂÂ
For the price, the GS 350 is very well equipped despite only offering one trim level. Our recommendation is to opt for the Luxury Value Edition package because it adds features like a 14-speaker Mark Levinson surround-sound audio system, a hard drive navigation system with real-time traffic information and weather reports, a rearview camera, voice controls, and more.
