I am a new Lexus owner and am very disappointed with the quality of the FM and AM radio reception. Lexus has advised me that the radio is operating "within factory specifications" My response is that they have a very low bar for their factory specs. I previously owned a Jaguar and I also own a Jeep Grand Cherokee--both vehicles have superior reception compared to the GS350. In the same locations within the NY metro area, I have received perfect reception on the other two vehicles' radios--in the Lexus I receive static. For the price of this vehicle, I expect better than that. Since this is the best that Lexus can do, this will be the last Lexus that I own.

My take on this is that Lexus wants to distinguish its premium ML sound system and uses a cheap run of the mill system as standard equipment. I got stuck with the same problem in my new GS350. The Bose system in my 6 year old Mercedes E320 was superior in every aspect.

Two other complaints. The garage door opener selector isn't lighted so it's difficult to open a garage door at night. You have to feel around and hope you push the correct ( 1,2 or 3) button. Also no automatic light in the small trunk. Have I missed something?

I just bought an '07 GS350 and have less than 300 miles. I want to get competitive prices on Platinum Extended Warranty from Lexus, not 3d party. . I'm confused about the various terms of the warranty. My last car, a Mercedes E-320 I purchased an additional 4 years for a total of 8 years and a max of 100k miles. I received a quote from the dealer I bought the GS from. For $2,000.00 I can get a Platinum, 0 deductible good for 7 years or 75k miles. Is that a good price?
