It's good on gas although it uses premium.
I like the way it handles curves and speed. My Lexus is a comfortable ride for me and it's good one gas.

Best car Lexus made for 2002. Luxury and sport design.
My car is a classic car..pearl white with tan leather..chrome wheels. Car is mint condition. Car is in high demand. No problems. Runs perfect. Very reliable. Only downfall is that it's RWD. Meaning in the snow it's no good. Hard to drive. Too much power in the rear. Other than that the car is one of the best Lexus made

Older luxury vehicle, great comfort and reliability.
My Lexus handles great, it accelerates quickly and has vehicle stability control. I have only had it 6 months and I haven't had any problems with it. It's very roomy, my 6'1 husband fits in it very comfortably. The front seats are heated and have adjustable lumbar support. It has a large trunk, which is great for all my kids things.

It's got a quarter of a million miles and with regular tune ups and oil changes it's still my daily driver!
I love my car! But it's getting older and has 245 thousand miles. We will have to get something different soon. As baby number three is on it's way!

Worth owning. Long live Lexus.
My Lexus drives smooth and fast. Seats are comfortable the leather keeps my bum warm/cold. Accelerates fast. Sleek body style.

It's extremely reliable and has few problems. Great value
It's an older car, but runs very well. It's really comfortable. I think it's a safe car.

Negative Owner Reviews

I was scammed into buying it from my in-laws.
Bought used. Every silicone/plastic seal in the car had to be replaced after purchase. Many broken parts I was not told about. Had to spend over $1,000 in repairs for it after paying $2,000 for it. The leather is cheap and the lights inside only work occasionally. There is clicking noise that happens when it accelerates. It does not accelerate well. I hate this car.

It gets me from point A to point B.
My vehicle is somewhat reliable however the shocks, brakes, rotors, ball joints, and rims have all gone bad. My odometer and speedometer no longer work. And I've had to replace the battery and the alternator.

How Reliable Is The 2002 Lexus GS 300?

Very reliable, still runs great. I've had some problems with power steering pump. I believe there was a recall on this. Powering steering leaks are causing the alternator to go out

I bought the car used so I consider it to be a great value for me. I believe my car runs for about 25,000 brand new
