Used 2006 Lexus GS 300 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
'06 GS 300 is an absolute thrill!
Pros-This car looks and most important, feels great. Looks very stylish, elegant and stately. Interior is top of the range wooden paneling and leather (I have black-on-black leather interior). The fully-loaded version comes with Mark Levinson stereo which rivals Bose in every sense of the word. Ride is exceptionally smooth. Cons-Can't beat an Infiniti G-series in rapid acceleration and torque. Is great for road trips but not spirited driving. Technology is impressive but acts up at times. For instance, auto volume button on stereo sometimes refuses to work, bluetooth also works intermittently, headlines tend to go off without notice and for no reason, engine rattling on startup and smell of burning oil at times.

Can't beat the Value ... it's a Lexus
Just bought a 2006 Black on Black GS300 at 80K miles. Put in ~1000 miles driving around North Texas and a round trip from Fort Worth to Houston. For a 9 year old car, it's a beauty in and out. For 1K driving impressions, it's a great car! I will come back to update this review when the car passes the 100K mark. Had great luck with a 1999 GS300, still driving great at 260K without any issues. Normal maintenance [oil changes, tires, brakes] were all that are needed so I looked at the next generation and if it is as reliable like its older brother has been, the 06 GS300 would be a great value. It is better looking, drives better with more technology, hope it will last as long w/out issues
Great Purchase.
I've had this car for over 5 years and 80,000 miles and have yet to experience 1 real problem.
Luxury sport
I bought this car for my wife, but I drive it often. It was pricey at $50K, but it has just about every option lexus offers. It's very sporty, but don't think you'll outrun a mustang or even a tiburon. This is luxury first and foremost. Quality you'd expect from Lexus and it's a great looking car. You'll get stares at every parking lot. Expect to seat 4 comfortably and in style.
Great value for the $$$$!
I have owned this car for just under 1 year. I bought it back in June of 09' as a certified vehicle with 34,965 miles for $26,000 + tax, tag, title. The vehicle has given me some large and small issues which others speak of on this website and my local dealer has been very nice in taking care of these problems at their expense. Overall the car is great. My suggestion to anyone interested in buying a GS is to buy a certified used vehicle a few years old that will provide you with 100k warranty at a better value for the money plus the peace of mind. Lexus customer service is the best I have ever experienced.
