Have been driving this car for 4 years and there are no issues whatsoever just regular maint. Very quiet ride inside the car, they used top materials to build it. Very impressed and don't want to sell. Definitely would buy again.

What can I say. It's a Lexus! I am not in the least bit disappointed. It handles like a dream and is quick, safe and comfortable.

Something wicked this way comes

I can still tell you where I was when I first saw the “Something wicked this way comes” television commercial for this car, that’s how much and how long I’ve liked this generation of the GS. I’m an eclectic car guy. I’ve had big sedans, sports-cars, trucks, etc you name it. I restore cars too. There’s currently a GT-350 sitting on one side to this car in our garage, and 3/4 pickup truck on the other, so I’m all over the place with what my friends call “the fleet”. And the fleet changes frequently. Over the last 20 years a lot of cars and trucks have come and gone, with one exception. This car. This is the best car I’ve ever owned. It’s had the entertainment system updated twice over the years, and the stock suspension has been replace with TEIN coilovers. That’s it. The rest is stock. Car currently has 160,000 miles on it and aside from the usual timing belt, water pump, oil, flushes, etc it’s never gone wrong. Moreover, it’s a kick to drive. It’s not fast, but it’s quick. It can carve up a canyon on a Sunday morning with the moonroof open or spend quiet effortless hours at 80 mph on a highway road trip. It’s at home everywhere. Yes, it’s been well taken care of and lived a garaged life. And there’s many reasons for that. It’s a great car. From the fantastic gauges, the wonderful RWD feel to the midsized (back in 2001 at least lol) usability, it’s a complete package. The styling wasn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. I love it. It’s why I bought it initially and one of the things that keeps it special to me. One of the ways i know it’s time to start looking for a new car is when I’ve stopped turning and looking back at the car when it’s parked in the parking lot at the grocery store. To this day, i still turn and smile when I drive this beautifully engineered and fun to drive car. A good one is hard to find anymore, but if you can find a well-maintained example, they aren’t very expensive anymore, $10k to $15k for a low mileage one, buy it. They’re wonderful cars.

I have only had this car for 2.5 weeks but I love it so much. Even though the style for this car has been redesigned because it was seven years old, it's still a headturner, it's a good feeling. This car is marketed as a luxury sport sedan but I think it's still more luxury than sport. I prefer luxury over sport anyway that's why I bought a Lexus, but the car might not be that appealing to people that want to feel the road. It feels like you're riding on a cloud when you drive this car, like you're separated from the rest of the world. The car is loaded with an abundance of features. It's a great car and I know it will last as long as I need it to.
NICE CAR BUT

I have a Mystic Sea Opalescent 2001 GS 300 with Navigation/Levinson package, chrome wheels, spoiler, and tint. Very sharp car. The Levinson stereo is top shelf, and I love the navigation system. It's very user friendly, and extremely accurate. Car is very reliable and runs well. Nice, cushy ride, and ample power. I would recommend this car to anyone, unless they want high performance, or more of an exhilerating ride.
Great Car

best car ever owned...beautiful, still looks brand new, people still comment on it everyday, no mech problems in 2.5years...However, it is NOT a german car. After owning three Audi's before, my next car definitely will be a 5 series BMW, I need more firmness and better handling...Too sum it up, great car, but MUSH!!!!
