Experience Amazing.

I inherited my 2003 Lexus GS 300. My mothers husband bought it new in 2003. It was kept in the garage, so the paint cured and never faded. Both retired, they didn't drive either car very much. He passed in 2010 and my mom kept her Nissan but preferred driving the Lexus. We listed her Nissan for sale. Later when mom passed in 2017 I kept the car. Today at 58,000 miles in 2023, the engine is still clean (no oil blowby) and there are no problems. I do long for newer upgraded technology, like back up camera, GPS screen, USB ports. But remembering my first 1966 car, do I really need to spend $60,000 for a new one? Maybe one day. The only issue is the cupholders are in a cramped place, and it makes it easy to bump the seat warmers. Hardly a problem though. 'Experience Amazing' has been a true marketing slogan, as it really is amazing. Although I prefer a Lexus RX ( SUV) this car is so great, I cannot see giving it up.

Good car. The only design fault front cup holders.

Excellent ride quality, Excellent leather seats, Great sound from radio, VERY good visibility. Engine has silky feel very smooth. Front cup holders must be redesigned.

Smoothest, Most Comfortable Car I've Ever Owned

Awesome Car, incredible Lexus build quality that has held up for years. Seats are super comfortable, very quiet car on the interstate. Silky smooth inline-6 engine (they literally don't build them like this any more!) Automatic transmission is bulletproof. RWD makes for a sporty feel (yes even in a Lexus!) Build quality is great. No dash cracks, great leather, very solid feeling car.

My First Lexus.

I bought this car used and I was immediately impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. I work on my own vehicles and can, without a doubt, support that claim. We used this car primarily for long treks across the US to visit family. It was a very comfortable ride and the stress of a long trip was greatly reduced knowing we were in a reliable, well built car. Once you go Toyota/Lexus, you never go back.

Great Value

I recently bought a Lexus GS 300 because ive heard nothing but great things about the Lexus brand and this Specific Vehicle. The Vehicle has met or exceeded my expectations in all catagories but I just wish the car were a little more sporty. All in all I'm very please with my purchase and if things stay the way they are will probably stay a loyal Lexus Customer!!!

It never gets old

This car at first seemed plain in comparision to my previosu Mercedes and BMW. But as I have owned it for a couple of years now it has showed it is more reliable and more comfortable then either of the european models. I have zero complaints and will buy another when I am done with this one. If it ever seems to start wearing out that is.
