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.

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, …

Wonderful car

Unbeatable value if low miles and well maintained.

Just great all around
