  • Still loving it - 2002 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    It takes me 6 months to get bored of a new car. I have owned my GS (Sports Design) for over 2 years now and I am still enjoying it. That should say a lot about this car. No car is perfect. GS300 is very slow from 0 to 60 (over 8 seconds)by todays standards. I have the regular (not Mark Levinson) stereo which is so so, it has a small trunk size and the gas mileage is really bad. On the plus side, it has a very comfortable plush ride and build quality is great. Dealership (Stevens Creek Lexus) and after sales service is superb. For performance, BMW 530i might be a better choice. For reliability and comfort, GS is ahead.

    Even though this model has been around since 98 I still get nice comments quite often. The ride is fine for me, Im not throwing it around corners so the luxury is my priority. Switched to michelin pilots after 500 miles, goodyear tires were inferior. Only changes I would suggest are quite minor; 4-spoke wheel with radio controls and improved trunk hinges to avoid crushing luggage. Pretty minor items. Dealer service is just what you expect and more, Id be hard pressed to ever consider another make of car.

    This, car is really a piece of art. Everything fits so well together, the only thing i wish i would have gotten is the 430 engine, it needs more powerrrr.

  • What a combination of luxury and fun! - 2002 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    I bought a Lexus GS 300 Sport Design. What a wonderful car! I needed something larger and more civilized than the Corvette I previously drove, but also wanted a car that was tight and handled well. Although I wouldnt say the car was quick, the power is perfectly acceptable and top speed (140mph) demonstrates the car can move. Absolutely great on the highway. Youll feel great starting this car everyday. Features are excellent for the money, dealer experience was truly painless and like none I had previously experienced. I was considering a BMW but tired of the attitudes of sales staff. Lexus quality is also obvious.

  • Very Satisfied in SoCal - 2002 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    I bought this car via the Internet from Lexus of Westminster, CA for their cost. The transaction was fast, businesslike and pain-free. After looking at the competition (Acura, Infiniti, BMW et al) I decided on the Lexus for its combination of style, reliability, performance, comfort and price. Although theres a few things Id change, Im quite satisfied with this car and expect to be even more so as time goes by. There have been no problems whatever during the first 8,000 miles.

  • OH MY GOD - 2002 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    I just purchased a GS300 Sport Edition and I love it. I test drove the A6 and the BMW 530I and while the 530 was fun to drive. The GS300 is equally as fun and has the extra cumfort and the Lexus interior. I LOVE the Navigation System and the Sterio is the best you can buy. Go get one today!

  • Lots of power - 2002 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    I bought my car in September of 2002, and I love it, but it is almost impossible to drive in the snow. There is a traction control button, but it is basically worthless when you drive over 10 mph. I will probably sell it before next winter, but for those of you who have the fotune not to deal with snow, I highly recommend this car.

  • GS300 Sport - 2002 Lexus GS 300

    The GS300 is a pure delight to drive,the car is fun to drive,excellent ride with Sports design package. The interior is well laid out and very comfortable. If there is one area of improvement it would be to increase horsepower,that could be done by dropping in a twin turbo like the Toyota Supra or increasing the size of the engine. The car is very reliable with no problems to date.

    Absolutely an amazing car, everything Ive always looked for. Great stereo, Nav System, zenon lights, cd changer in dash, heated seats, memory package, graet interior (second to none much better than mbz,bmw)-- why get anything upgraded? Great service from dealership always with a smile.
