  • Great Summer Car, Watch out for snow - 2003 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    I love this car, but with the winter weve had in the northeast its bad side has come out. This is the worst bad weather car I have ever owned!!! The traction control system is a joke. Im done with rear wheel drive cars.

    The Sport Edition GS 300 is a fun car to drive. It has all of the amenities and elegance of the GS 300 but it has a Euro tuned suspension and sportier accents. This car also has HID lights not found on the standard GS 300 (only in the GS 430 model. This is a smooth and quiet car that is a joy to drive. I especially like the fact that 3 car seats can fit in the rear.

  • no traction and exploding tires - 2003 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    Tires (Goodyear) known to blow out-and did on me! Rear Drive=Poor traction pulling out on wet pavement and no traction on even a little snow. Nice car but poor gas mileage, and transmission bucks every once in a while.

  • GS300 SportDesign GREAT VALUE! - 2003 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    This is my 3rd lexus. I have been in love with this car since year 2000 (Platinum Series), but I didnt have an opportunity to get it at that time. Now I have a chance to own it. All I can say is SWEET. 0-60 in 7.8 sec, graphite wheels, new tail designs, etc.

  • My new GS300 - 2003 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    Ive had nothing but problem after problem with this damn car. Its spent more time at the dealership than with me and the jackasses at Lexus wont even contend that the car may be a lemon. Waste of $$ and couldnt have asked for more horrible dealer service!!

    Traded in a 95 LS400 which had 173000 miles and still going strong. The GS300 car handles as good as my 91 corvette without the harsh ride. It is firmer than the LS400 but not harsh. The inline 6 cylinder is smooth as silk. Took a long trip and got 26.5 MPG; in 5th gear at 70mph it is turning 2800 RPM,which seems high for overdrive (compared to 2200RPM on the LS400). This car is an excellent blend of performance and luxury. The brakes are much more responsive than I am used to, but really prefer that. You must drive one of these, very impressive!

  • Greatest car ever! - 2003 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    If you want styling, design, reliability, performance and comfort, this is the car for you! The car is super quiet! Sound system is awesome! Couldnt ask for a better car! (BMW & Mercedes cant touch it!)

    we have a sport edition in graphite with black lthr and black walnut trim. we love it. this is our third lexus. cannot beat the reliability and service,not to mention its a blast to drive.

  • SPORT EDITION SPORTS SADDLE - 2003 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    Best balance of value, luxury and reliability in this class. Not as arrogant as the BMW nor as costly as the MB. We just got ours but it is impressive to us already. GS300, Sport Edition, Black with Saddle Leather perforated. Did not get ML audio or NAV.

  • Benzinger - 2003 Lexus GS 300

    The car rides beautifully and handles well through curves as well. It has excellent wet weather handling. I would have liked some additional features, including radio controls on the steering wheel, something standard on our Toyota Sienna @ $10K less.
