2005 Lexus GS300 review from North America
"Not worth the money... The quality is terrible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the car for six months, and it has already been in the shop FIVE TIMES due to problems with the computer system.
General comments?
This is the worst quality auto that I have ever owned. It has constantly been in the shop, and I am told time and again that Lexus is "working on the problem"! I am now told that it is to due a engine computer that malfunctions in cold weather. I switched after owning BMW's for the past 20 years, and will never do that again.
