What’s new
New sport sedan looks great, but fails to deliver much performance. Arrived late in 1993 with dual airbags, ABS and CFC-free air conditioning.

Great car

1993 Lexus GS 300 4dr Sedan
My Lexus 1993 GS 300 is nearing 400,000 miles and she still runs strong. I don't think she will ever quit, hardly ever broke down, other than water pump. Keep up preventive maintenance, like tune up, oil change and brakes. That's all she ever needed and still purrs like a kitten. Love this car.

A car that never gets the respect

1993 Lexus GS 300 4dr Sedan
This car is amazing, it may not be the fastest but it's capable of reaching 140mph on the hwy. It may not be the most luxurious but it knows how to coddle its driver and passengers.The BMW 5 outhandles it, but I can take it on a back road and it handles the curves confidently. But this is the most reliable car I've ever driven. BMW can't even come close on this point.

VERY reliable!!

1993 Lexus GS 300 4dr Sedan
Bought this vehicle preowned with 50K miles on it and it has been very very
reliable. I now have 190K miles on it and EVERYTHING is original on this
vehicle (except for wear item like brake pads, and one timing belt
replacement which was done at 175K miles!!). Although structurally it's not
as solid as the German cars (i.e. MB) the reliability and comfort are top
notch. Whats … amazing to me is that this vehicle accelerates, drives,
handles, and sounds just like the day I bought it. You really can't go worng
with a Toyota product, you might pay more for it but it will more than pay off
in the long run.

Best Car Ever

1993 Lexus GS 300 4dr Sedan
I brought this car about two years ago. I had no problems with it besides the tires which i kept having to replace because of the custom rims. The car really had no mechanical problems until recently the head gasket blew out. The car has close to 200,000 miles on it and i really like the car. If i ever get another car it has to be a Lexus. The car is the most reliable car i've ever … driven or known.
