Review
The GS400 is a true automobile. Unlike many "cars" on the road, its capabilites far exceed your expectations. Strong aceleration, nimble cornering capabilty and good stopping power, this luxuary coupe can run with the best sports cars on the road, even today. With its superlative acceleration and shifting, and excellent quite, ride, it is well worth the price. You get what you pay for.
Favorite Features
Electronic shifting in the steering wheel. DVD Navigation, and touch screen control system.
Suggested Improvements
More padding in the door sill, to rest my arm while driving. Redundant radio controls in the steering wheel.

Review
I have owned over 75 cars, including all sorts of other luxury vehicles, sports cars, etc. The GS400 is the best car I have ever owned! It combines style, luxury, room, convenience, and of course performance. By the way, I also own 3 other Lexuses (LS400, IS300, RX330). I have the Platinum Edition and I've done some other things to it, including a full REAL wood dash treatment, strut tower bar, and K&N air filter performance kit -- and all that makes it even better!
Favorite Features
performance, push button shifting, fit and finish, interior, build quality. It's a car that I can park, walk away from it, and look back to admire its great looks.
Suggested Improvements
Put the shift buttons on the newer GS430. On second thought, don't and then I won't be tempted by the new body style due out in 2004 as a 2005 model.

Review
8 years ago on my honeymoon, we got an upgrade to a 95 GS300. After driving it I knew I would always pine for one of my own. Well, I finally stepped up and bought a used GS400 model and have not stopped grinning since. I live down a long, curvy country road and I look forward to that drive every day. I play with the manual shifting option (wish it would shift more quickly), the POWER option, or economy mode with the VSC feature enabled. I haven't been let down yet. It's a roomy car with very comfortable seats and easy to see gauges and instruments. The steering is slightly loose with a bit of an understeer, but that's what you get with the luxury ride.
Favorite Features
Auto memory settings for the seat and mirrors (sounds silly, but it's great anytime I want to let someone take it for a cruise), the manual shift, and the V8 engine. Seats, comfort, and style, what else is there to say?
Suggested Improvements
A quicker shift time in the manual mode; better fuel economy (which can be achieved with some high performance air filters and fuel-injector kits).

I was very disappointed with the performance of the GS400 after our recent snow fall of 2". The car was loose even is the snow traction feature. It over all is poor in any slick conditions
