I bought this car for my wife new in late 2002.
We loaded it with every option including the Mark Levison audio and the Navigation.
We also looked at the Audi A6 and the Lincoln LS-E.
The GS300 was hands down the winner.
There was no comparison.
The fit and finish of this car is amazing.
The styling of the exterior was what really made the decision for us.
The interior is so amazingly comfortable and everything just fits well and works well.
The Lexus navigation was so much better than the Audi and Lincoln.
We both love this car and bought a second Lexus when I was ready to replace my SUV.

If you want styling, design, reliability, performance and comfort, this is the car for you! The car is super quiet! Sound system is awesome! Couldn't ask for a better car! (BMW & Mercedes can't touch it!)

Review
Traded in a 95 LS400 which had 173000 miles and still going strong. The GS300 car handles as good as my 91 corvette without the harsh ride. It is firmer than the LS400 but not harsh. The inline 6 cylinder is smooth as silk. Took a long trip and got 26.5 MPG; in 5th gear at 70mph it is turning 2800 RPM,which seems high for overdrive (compared to 2200RPM on the LS400). This car is an excellent blend of performance and luxury. The brakes are much more responsive than I am used to, but really prefer that. You must drive one of these, very impressive!

Very enjoyable car, this vehicle exudes quality and craftsmanship. Everyone who has ridden in this vehicle loves it. I wish I'd bought a Lexus sooner!

This car is a dream. Every day I get in and thank heaven that I went with Lexus instead of something else. Service departments are ALWAYS easy to work with (and I have worked with four different dealership service depts). Handling is great, brakes are amazing, and I could never be without navigation again. Nothing says luxury, dependability, and safety better than the Lexus GS300!!

Excellent vehicle, superb ride and
comfort. Build quality is better than
any other vehicle I have owned.
Dealership experience is actually
worthy of the vehicle.
Only complaint, and it's minor, is the
amount of power available. Could use
25 more HP and 25+ft/lbs of tourque

Review
I found that the car tends to get really
boring really quickly. The steering
feel is isolated from the road, and
acceleration is VERY poor at low speeds.
After about 30mph though, the car has
some decent pickup.
There is alot of lightweight material in
the dash, the moonroof cover is loose
and rattles at high speeds. There is
alot more wind noise on the highway than
i would have expected.
For a blah 6 cylander engine, fuel
economy on this car is pretty
disappointing. Especially for a Toyota
product.
Lastly, with the standard issue tires,
this car is utterly useless in the rain.
I'm going to replace them soon.

Fun car to drive. Looks good on the
road. Acceleration is a bit slow
initially but car has power. Blind spot
is large. Gas mileage is standard.
Quite, smooth ride. Hand conrols are
easy to use.

Review
This is my second (and last) GS 300.
The first one was incredible. It was
2.5 yr old when we sold it and bought
the new one. Our new one, since day
one, has had squeaks, creaks and groans
from the dash that the dealership has
been unable to fix. Thought I would
trade it in for a new one (it is only 5
mo old). Was told the dealership would
give me $33k. About $8k depreciation in
5 months. Finish out detail problems
like what I am experiencing are amazing
for a 'luxury' car maker like Lexus.
Learned my lesson. Next time- BMW here
I come.

This is the best car I ever bought. It
rides smooth and you can barley feel
the car shift gears. I like the
Bodystyle also. Its perfect if you
want to put bigger rims on it.
