GS300 - A Nice Luxury Car that tries to be Sporty

by yusakugo Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 10
Sep 27 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Comfortable ride, Lexus Luxury, Reliability, Resale, Safety
Cons: Gas Milage, Parts of Dashboard look cheesy, Slight Wind Noise, Handling not as sporty
The Bottom Line: Smooth ride, excellent comfort, extremely reliable, and decent handling... It will not beat out other top tiered sports cars but it's not hard on your budget either.

Time to finally buy a new car with all that epinions money I've earned :) Okay... maybe not with the epinions money (good for only a couple of tank fill ups at the station). It was time to treat myself with a nice car that had good performance and...

Lexus is for Luxury & Reliability

by walterwhiteiv
Apr 14 '04 - Updated Apr 15 '04 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great styling, Floaty Suspension, Great Price, Customer Satisfaction at the Dealership
Cons: wind noise, not enough luxury for this level, no sway bars, thirsty engine
The Bottom Line: This is a great car and will be pretty much problem free. The panache of the Lexus logo and the reliability will keep them staring.

This car was purchased December 18, 2003. It is my second car and my second Lexus. Lexus is all I have owned and will more then likely be the only brand I will stay loyal too. I have always had great experiences with the dealerships when dealing with ...

Pros: interior, reliability, nice looks, resale value, safety, comfort
Cons: Pricey, handling could be more crisp, snob image

After car shopping for my wife for the last month or so, researching on the internet, visiting dealers, tracking down lots of used cars that weren't such great deals in person, we finally decided on a new 2001 Lexus GS 300 sedan to replace her awesome...

Lexus GS 300... perfect for the young professional.

by rootk
Aug 19 '01 - Updated Aug 23 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: High Reliability and Low Maintance reputation, Looks, Ride, Seat Comfort
Cons: Price, Gas Milage, Sound system, Wind noise.
The Bottom Line: If you don't mind the tad bit of windnoise you experience at 80 mph and semi-weak stereo, then this is a fabulous car.

Introduction
I was sitting at Applebee's on Monday of this past week, and as I read 'USA Today', I came across this full page ad about the Lexus Golden Opportunity sales special which was going on this month. This immediately perked my...

BMW eater

by aknutson
Apr 16 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: power, style, comfort, luxury, value
Cons: none
The Bottom Line: If Lexus slogan "the relentless persuit of perfection" could be expressed as a single automobile, the 2001 GS430 would be it.

The Lexus GS430 is truly a winner in the luxury sport sedan battle. This very competitive market needs an amazing car to separate itself from the others, and this car truly accomplishes that goal - even surpasses it.
Not only is the MSRP of this...

The perfect combination

by hjpolk
Mar 08 '02 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Torque,ride,fit & finish,customer oriented dealerships,quiet,understated good looks.......
Cons: It is hard to find fault
The Bottom Line: This is the perfect combination of a very high performance sports sedan and a very high level luxury sedan.

I've waited until I had a solid year behind the wheel of my 2001 GS430 before I wrote this review, which by the way is my very first. This car continually impresses you anew just when you thought you knew every capability. For instance, my initial...

Outstanding vehicle

by mantasmmm
Nov 19 '08 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Quet, fluent transmission, extremely comfortable, relatively low gas consumption
Cons: Haven't found any.
The Bottom Line: I recommend this joy for everyone in need for luxury, though fun drive. Rear wheel drive is of course something to consider, but with traction control I have no problem.

I've been driving it since july and it's absolutely fantastic. Before buying it, had quite a variety: SAAB 95, Volvo S80, Lexus GS300, Lexus RX300, ML 400 and Mitsubishi Shogun. Tried Shogun- don't even ask why... completely farmer's peace. My first ...

This car is nice!

by pm08
Jun 01 '07 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: AC Location, Stereo Location, Quality Material
Cons: Expensive, Gets dirty easily.
The Bottom Line: Get this car, if you can afford it, because it lasts long and is made with very good quality.

The Lexus GS is one of my favorite cars. It is fast, it is pretty, and it works! What I like about the product are it's AC in the back, and that there is a stereo on all the doors. It has leather seats, which are very nice. The only problem is that you ...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: An Amazing Car. Quiet, Commmmfortable, just fun to drive :-)
Cons: Black paint shows dirt quicker than Silver.
The Bottom Line: Don't just buy it, BUY IT!!! You'll trust me after you DRIVE IT!!! Ok, so I like my car. I'll stop bragging now, please excuse me.

After 9 months I can honestly say that I’ve put the car through its paces. The Lexus GS300 is a fabulous car.

It would not have been right writing this review prior to driving into the snow with this car. Nothing major, but enough to get...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Too many to put here...
Cons: No E-Shift..Lexus, that was DUMB.
The Bottom Line: Buy it! Or wait for the new 2004/5 model!

Overview: First off, I'd like to say that I REALLY like this car (and I'm very picky about cars)...maybe even LOVE. It's pretty fast, luxurious, looks great, and since it's built by Toyota, you know it's reliable. I've been driving the car for...

Nothing but the Best

by bling
May 19 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Seats, space, soundless, smooth, super, speedy,
Cons: starting price is 39150. Very expensive.
The Bottom Line: If your looking for a car and can aford this car, buy this.

My parents finally got a new car. The Gs 300. I wanted the Gs 430. The car dealer told us that the Gs300 and 430 were exactly the same, other than the engine. Both cars are great. The Gs 430 cost around eight to ten thousand dollars more than the 300....

Like a Polished Rock

by Pianoman5225
Apr 20 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Stable, great acceleration, luxurious, good sound system.
Cons: High price, but still worth it
The Bottom Line: Though it is a bit pricey, it is well worth it. Let yourself be driven by this special car before you decide.

The 2001 Lexus GS Sedan is a wonderful addition to the already prominent Lexus family. What first attracted me to this vehicle was it's sleek design. Once I surpassed my more superficial desires, however, I discovered that the car had much more to...

Luxury for the Lexus

by whaleboy123
May 16 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great handling, fine leather. Everything you would hope a Lexus to be.
Cons: As usual for Lexus, very expensive, about the same as a "Benz".
The Bottom Line: If you can dig deep in your pockets, buy it. If you've got kids the car is great and to impress the neighbors this is the car.

The new Lexus GS Sedan is roomy, has fine leather, very comfortable. It has that certain style and appeal that only the Jaguar, a Benz, and maybe a BMW can get. If you are ever driving down the street you will notice people staring; they are only jealous...

Woah.. Nice Car!

by snoboarder
May 06 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Nice functions in the car. Smooth ride. It's a Lexus! Full size spare.
Cons: Could be more luxurious. No HID lights without the Nav system.
The Bottom Line: I would say it's a nice car. A great car for any one to drive around.

The ride is a very smooth ride. It has something like sports shift on it, so u can shift up gear and down gear on the steering wheel if you want to drive it like a stick shift. It saves where two people would like there seats and side mirrors to be...
