Had high hopes for this car but from day 1 it had issues.

Had high hopes for this car but from day 1 it had issues. Bought it used with 81k miles and I had bad bearings, oil consumption (a lot of oil) and a bad transmission. Did all the services and still got a bad transmission. Had the ECM replaced and Cats are about to need replacing. Kept getting the check engine light that the evap was not up to par.

Not worth the money

Burns oil a lot. Oil constantly leaks even after I paid over $2k to have it repaired! This car has less than 140,000 miles. The only problem I’ve had is the oil & lights constantly blew out until I paid $750 for used lights.

Can't beat a Lexus or Toyota product

The Lexus GS 300 is comfy, yet sporty, fast, fun to drive, and les weals and looks slick... and the most dependable auto I've owned. Easy to low maintenance.

Car been a nightmare since I purchased it....

Great looking car... BUT, the engine drinks oil so fast I have to keep oil in the trunk. Plus, check engine light every 4 months comes on and back into the shop. I done changed fuel injections, knock sensor, etc. Have experience Hesitations and misfiring... I don't know what else to do, I spent more on repairs....

Not the best from Lexus

The car burns oil excessively and previous owner did not have piston rings changed with the service bulletin, which may have helped with the issue. Expensive to repair with many sensors. Expected general part wear to last longer for a "Toyota."

Best handling car I've owned

Exterior and interior design is excellent. Handling qualities are top of the line. Extremely comfortable on short or long drives and has excellent acceleration. Quality of vehicle and maintainability is the best.

Reliability, Luxury, and Performance All in one!

It is 2006 car but still looks like new and drives like new. Never had any issues with this car! Just bought 2018 Tesla so we now have 3 cars for the 2 of us.
