""I've had my GS for almost 4 years. It is fabulous. Never had a problem!! It drives like a dream, handles great in bad weather and although pricey, you really get a quality vehicle. I would not part with mine. Too bad some people had problems. Can happen with any car. Had a s500 and it was a total baddddd!!! Sold it and got my Lexus and I've been problem free ever since. AMAZING CAR!!" grate on gas ride everything i love luxus !!!!!!"

"Just got back from a long trip and got over 31 mpg on highway. Before buying the GS300 AWD I looked at the GS330, but the mileage is much lower and I really didn't need the 330 power boost -- the 300 is plenty fast! We met a couple of back-packers at a state park on our trip and gave them a ride. Their two full-size packs fit just fine into our trunk, so while the trunk looks small it really does hold quite a lot. What I like best is that the car is the perfect size for me -- a little bit smaller than my previous Camry. With the AWD and extra power it is really nimble and sure-footed in traffic. It's not as quiet as my husband's Lexus LS, but it's also several thousand dollars cheaper! The GS original equipment tires are run-flats, which have very stiff sidewalls. If you change out the tires to something like a touring tire the ride will be a lot quieter and smoother. We put Conti all-season DWSs on to replace the run-flats and it made a huge difference. I love this car -- hope to keep it for a long time."

"Very poor value for the money. Horrible interior noise problems. No trunk space. Obsolete Navigational Unit. "REAR" brakes had to be replaced at 35000 miles??? Cruise contol quit. To fix it, the ABS pump had to be replaced ( $3,000 ) I think Japan ( Lexus ) is suffering from the "Detroit Syndrome", with the most important thing being the "profits" not quality. Not something I would expect from Lexus. Would never consider buying one again......"

"The Lexus GS300 received a major face lift in 2006. The styling is very unique and contemporary. The power is more than adequate and the ride very luxurious. The great gas mileage was a big pleasant surprise. After much investigating, I found out that this car blows the European cars out of water when it comes to maintenance, reliability, ride comforts and features. I highly recommend anyone looking to purchase a used luxury vehicle to consider the Lexus GS300."

"MY LEASE IS JUST ABOUT UP. I CAN NOT PART WITH MY CAR. THE TIRES ARE PRICEY BUT WELL WORTH IT. ITS TOTALLY LOADED. I SHOPPED AROUND FOR OTHER CARS BUT FOR THE MONEY IM GOING TO PURCHASE THE CAR. THE ONLY COMPLAINT IS THE INTERIOR LIGHTING IS TOO DIM. IT HANDLES GREAT AND IS WONDERFUL TO DRIVE. MY HUSBAND INSISTED ON THESE DARK GREY RIMS ON THE BLACK ONX PAINT, IT REMINDS US OF THE BAT MOBILE. ENOUGH ALL READY ITS A NICE CAR."
