I love the comfortable and quiet ride. It has been a very reliable vehicle and never had any major issues. It's been a pleasure to drive and is the reason I've kept the vehicle for 18 years so far.
Quality and reliability are the key features of this vehicle.

Great ride! Long lasting vehicle!
Love this vehicle! Some electrical issues and been through some batteries and o2 sensors. The paint had some issues, and I had it repainted. I love the adjustable seats and the smooth ride. It has great pick up. The sound system is nice and you cannot hear a lot of outside noise.

Has been a great car for 17 years, so well worth the initial investment.
Has been very reliable. Very few repairs needed over 17 years. Extremely comfortable ride. No real complaints.

It drives good and for an old car that is a positive statement.
I like the way it looks. I like the way it drives. It is black and very sleet and the style is very popular. It has been a very good car.

If taken care of the car can go over 250,000 miles with no major issues.
I like that it has plenty of room for everyone, it has electric controls and heated seating. I do not like the wood interior finish and after so long the black faded to a dark blue interior finish.

Lexus GS-300 Review my older model
It's a heavy vehicle so taking corners may be a bit of challenge if you speed is too high. The seat heating system could also be improved. It seems to still be slightly heated when driving with the driver and passenger switch off. The fuse for the radio and speakers also go out too quickly but it may just because it's an older vehicle.

Fast luxury four door sedan.
I really love driving it during the summer, though in the winter it is very difficult to drive, because of the rear wheel drive. It's fast, and efficient. It definitely is an overall nice vehicle. The leather seats are nice, and you can easily adjust the settings to fit you which is amazing.
