Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Silky engine, available Mark Levinson audio system, blend of luxury and sport.
Cons
- Average acceleration, doesn't communicate with the driver enough given the sporting mission of the car.
What’s new
Nothing changes on the GS 300 this year.
Edmunds says
A capable and comfortable car, but when one considers that the IS 300 is sportier, and the ES 330 is nearly as luxurious, and both cars cost less, the GS 300 doesn't make much sense.

No longer fun to browse for cars

2004 Lexus GS 300 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 5A)
My GS 300 spoiled me, but I didn't realize it until I started looking at other cars online. I used to do it for fun, just to fantasize about what I might enjoy. I was lucky enough to find my 04 model with the Nav/Lev package, which has more than proven itself. Now I don't even have fun looking at other cars. I just can't imagine that it would get any better than the reliability, … extreme level of comfort, and total owner satisfaction that I have experienced over the past year and a half. My first lexus was a 96 ES 300, which was replaced with this one. As long as I am able, I will never purchase another vehicle.
