Slice of Heaven

I loved the way this car felt as soon as I sat in it. 1-1/2 yrs. of 90 min. commute to/from work is pure pleasure! Highway, she's smooth as silk! Foothills (Smoky Mts.), she hugs those curves! Snow, sleet, rain she handles everything with ease. Best driving experience(s) I've ever had! Never a mechanical hiccup! Mpg minor flaw (even @ $4.00) when considering performance on each and every level. 112,000 mi. and solid... until someone rear ended me while using cell phone. To the end she was solid - my daughter & I would be dead otherwise. Test driving wannabe's - nothing compares. She's a lady in a class all her own. I'm hooked on the Lexus GS driving experience for life!

This car is phenomenal. The GS400 drives very smoothly and quietly and has plenty of power for your driving pleasure. It definitely is like a Corvette or Porsche in disguise, so be careful driving it. It comes off as a luxury sedan, but I think of it as a luxury sports car. Every time I get into the driver's seat, its a new exciting feeling. Lexus's entire line of models prove worthy of all the awards they recieve because they really know how to make cars!

Great Car

This is really a great car. I had to give up an 01 Mustang GT when we had our first kid. I wanted to replace it with something that was fast, yet practical. How can you beat this car? It is as fast as my Mustang and faster than just about everything on the road. The only quicker sedans are things like the E55 & M5. Mine is a 1998 and it looks like a new car. Fit & finish are just super. I used to be a 'buy American", but after owning this car, I wonder how the Big 3 will even stay in business. The quality is just at another level. It is just a NICE car than also happens to be VERY fast. The only competition are the 540 & E430 which are slower and less reliable. You can't go wrong

After 16 years of owning my 1998 GS 400 I have never been disappointed. It still runs very smoothly and the engine has that great sound of performance. I often get tempted to buy a newer model, but this one still runs great! The GPS system is easier to use than later model cars I've also owned from Infiniti, Cadillac, and Audi.

Got this car about one year ago, used with 72000km. I used to drive an manual RX-7. The GS400 is not as fast, of course, but close. It is one of the fastest automatic four-door sedan you can buy. I think only the Mercedes E55 and C32 AMG cars are faster. Rear wheel drive is not bad at all because the skid control corrects any mistakes. I use winter tires and the snow driving mode in Toronto's snow and got no problem at all. Best car I have had. No complain.
