2005 Lexus GS 300 Consumer Reviews

Almost Got A BMW 525, Glad I Didn't !!!

2005 Lexus GS 300 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)

Review

I did my research and found that the GS 300 Lexus is a much better car. It's a lot more comfortable in side than the BMW 525, and guess what they both cost about the same. Yet, it has a more stylish body.

Favorite Features

Automatic Steering wheels which projects and retracts when you turn off your car. The individual heat seats. Smooth, Fast, Quiet, Quality, worth buying not leasing. When you drive this car you wouldn't want to be restricted to 15,000 miles a year.

Suggested Improvements

ALL Lexus cars worth over $40,000 dollars should include a navigation system. "I bet very few people will oppose that".

A Very Good Car

Review

This is a very quiet and comfortable car. It has good power, great steering and great brakes. Controls are logical and well placed. The standard sound system is a good one. Very solid feel. The interior is nicer than that of competing vehicles. If you have to have a very fast car, look at a G35 or TL, but neither is a quiet or roomy. The G35 makes significant noise if you are cruising and step on it even a little bit. Smaller, more expensive, but very nicely done is the Audi S4. All of the little things are right on this car, but it is the last year of this version.

Favorite Features

Quiet ride is the best, but steering and brakes are only a little behind.

Suggested Improvements

I would prefer a single CD changer in the dash, rather than a multiple player in the glove box. A personal preference.

Review

An excellent sedan. Quiet, roomy, comfortable, great steering and brakes. Controls are logical and have the right feel. Not as fast as a G35, but much quieter, better ride, much more logical switch gear, useable side mirrors (size) and, best of all, no snow moblie noise the minute you step on it. More room than a TL and no torque steer. TL is nice and worth a look if a little less room will work for you same with an M45. The car will grow on you as you drive it as all of the little things are right. Prior years owners are VERY satisfied with this car. My reliability score is based on what I have read.

Favorite Features

The quiet ride is my absolute favorite. Good suspension. Great steering feel and powerful brakes.

Suggested Improvements

Last model year, so no changes to this model, but getting the CD player out of the glove box and into the dash would have been nice.
