  • Great Blend of Sport and Luxury - 2006 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    Using this car for business and pleasure is a delight. Most of the tests Ive read in the car magazines critisize it for not being Porsche- like in the sport handling context. On Americas highways this car has all the smoothness and agility you could ask for. The interior amenities are numerous and very useful. I could drive it forever.

  • too many trips to dealer - 2006 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    bought this car used in 2008 &absolutly loved it. several recalls were handled and a few pretty large issues were fixed under my 50k mile warrenty, I had to get something else fixed under my extended warrenty under 100k mile. brake wear out faster than they should, sometimes hear a grinding. I continue to notice issue in the steering wheel where it seems to almost stick in a groove slightly pulling to the right when im cruising the highway btw 60-80mph. side mirrors motors went bad after 100k miles. notice a mildew smell in the a/c since i bought it. low tire pressure light is always on. sometimes my car shakes when i come to a stop like its about to shut off. now steering col & eng cyl bad

  • Great package - 2006 Lexus GS 300

    The car had all the features that many cars are still lacking these days. Only issue was the run-flat tires and optional spider wheels that caused problems following pot-hole hits. Gas mileage has been great and actually improved over time. Still a great looking car with exceptional paint quality.

  • AMAZING!!!!! - 2006 Lexus GS 300

    I owned a 98 GS and just got the all new 06. Wow!! What a great car!! The smoothness and quietness and the responsiveness are incredible. I loved my old GS, but this one is light years ahead of my old one. The fuel economy is amazing too...3 0 miles per gallon!!

  • Love this ride - 2006 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    My lease came due on my BMW and I shopped for about 2 months and test drove a ton of vehicles. I fell in love with the GS. It is no BMW in regards to driving capabilities but I am not into driving this car like I am at Daytona. The ride is great. The car sticks to the ground. Steering and handling is superb. The Mark Levinson sound is awesome and I am a huge audiophile. Its the best that I have heard. Reliability is great. Overall I am thoroughly impressed by this vehicle. Coming from owning BMWs, I am very happy with my decision.

  • Its it and thats that! - 2006 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    I set out to buy a Jaguar, then checked the BMW 530i, and out of curiosity, checked the new GS 300 (just to be sure). The interior is magnificent, full of tremendously useful features within a luxurious cabin. The exterior is sleek and refined. But I have to say this car is confused -- it doesnt know if its a sports car or a luxury sedan -- it does BOTH beautifully! Its tight and agile on corners, accelerates with authority, but is as quiet as a library. I chose the AWD due to the possibility of having to move back to snow territory -- I know itll be perfect! Before you buy any other car, take this baby for a ride!

  • Another great Lexus - 2006 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    This time, Lexus added more road feel and is sportier. But the same Lexus comfort and all the great technology of the LS 430 is very much present. Just handles better and its a joy on the road.

  • Why Lexus Is The Best - 2006 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    This is my second Lexus. Have a 2003 Rx300. No one can build like Lexus. The GS 300 I purchased is a great vehicle. Looks (flint mica with black leather) are striking ... getting lots of compliments. Its ride and comfort are first class. Build quality is superior. At the end of the workday it is like my decompression chamber as I head home. Price vs. features is hard to beat.

  • Fun, Fun Fun! - 2006 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    The driving experience has been great. Handles all types of city driving and mountain roads with ease. Best car I’ve driven!

  • Finally, a car that is an entire package - 2006 Lexus GS 300
    By -

    As a 3-time owner of BMWs (both 3 and 5 series), I have finally found the "complete" car. Although the GS 300s suspension isnt as tight as my 5 series, everything else overcomes that shortcoming. Wonderful new design. I could not be happier.
