Overview & Reviews

A totally redesigned GS 300 appears for 1998. Featuring the familiar inline-six engine of the previous model in the GS 300, or an overhead cam V8 with continuously variable valve timing in the GS 400, the new cars lives up to the promise of providing serious fun in an elegant package.

• Awesome new sedan screams down the road faster than a scalded cat.

• High price. Lack of a manual transmission.

  LOVING THIS CAR MORE AND MORE - 1998 Lexus GS 300
  By LEXGIRL98 - December 9 - 2:00 am

  I have had this car since for 2 years now and I am still psyched every time I get in to drive it...Even though its a 98, it looks, rides and handles like a brand new car...It is a mystery to me why it took such a hit on depreciation though, especially since the body style is still the same since 98 !!! But I plan to keep for another 5 plus years... FYI - not one thing has gone wrong and it has 69K miles and counting...

  This has been a great car. There has been only one problem - w/ the fuel gauge and that was fixed by the dealer. It is a very quiet smooth ride and feels sporty for a sedan. It feels solidly made and is comfortable on long or short trips. Lexus gives outstanding service to its customers - I love being able to make an appt for any type of service I may need - and they are on time.

  Nothing to complain about - 1998 Lexus GS 300
  By Druss - October 28 - 2:00 am

  I have had this car for a little over a year and have had no serious problems although I put about 40k miles on it so far. Reliability is excellent. I cant really think of anything I would have improved. The editors review says this car is for those who cant decide between sport or luxury. Well I want both. And I got it. I just finished test driving a 2001 BMW 525i tonight. It sure felt stiff and slow. The interior wasnt as comfortable.

  GS300 MY VIEW - 1998 Lexus GS 300
  By DUCMIX - October 25 - 2:00 am

  I LOVE THE CAR AND IT`S FEATURES BUT THE CAR NEEDS MORE POWER. (TWIN TURBO) HAS THE SMOOTH SHIFTING TRANS BEST IN THE MARKET. THE RIDE IS WONDERFUL BUT ROLLS ON TURNS. MY NEXT CAR WILL BE THE GS ONCE AGIAN .

  A great combination of design, road maners, enogh power and safety features. Definily a quick car on the road with a great estability and smooth drivetrain without sacrifice the sport feeling. Fine style and comfort. Never been more happy with a car before. Excellent acceleration and braking, feels very handy, secure and awesome looking. best over all car.

  Drives like a dream - 1998 Lexus GS 300
  By BZimmermann - December 15 - 10:00 am

  AMAZING CAR! My dad owned one, and made the mistake of letting me drive it. :-P In a way, Im disappointed he ever let me drive it. My standards have risen to a new level. This car was the most amazing thing Ive ever driven. Fuel Economy great! Until you go wide open out of every light like I did (4 MPG) Good sound system. It brings tears to my eyes every time I see one on the road now because Im so disappointed that he sold it.

  GREAT CAR TO HAVE - 1998 Lexus GS 300
  By TOMAX - August 28 - 10:00 am

  I bought this car because i always wanted a nice whip to drive. But this car was better than i expected and it is one of the best if no the best car i have ever owned !! The reliability is a plus. It feels and looks good on the road. I will definatly buy another i dont think i will purchase another car other than the GS. I also own a RX so i guess im a lexus man 4 life !!!

  Best car to date. - 1998 Lexus GS 300
  By dav68 - March 11 - 11:26 pm

  This is the best car we have ever owned. Beautiful, reliable fast and solid. Incredible build quality. You may see one GS on the road for every ten ESes. I like that. We have had for 3 years with no problems. No squeaks or rattles. Drives like a new one with 76000m. Hate to wait until 06 for a new one but it will be worth it. Xenon headlamps are phenomenal. Oil changes and tires and thats it.
