2000 Lexus GS300 Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Sheep in wolfs clothing!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing!
Apart from the fact the car is totally uncontrollable in snow!
Even with (well run in) P zeros!
And the VSC is quite useless!
Winter 2001 in a November snow storm, the AA had to toe me home due to how uncontrollable the car became.
When I had the car checked over by Lexus (who charged £130) they stated the cars had handling problems in the wet and snow, which would be corrected in the next model (I have the letter from Lexus stating this)
Do all Lexus cars Have the same problem. As I'm looking to change my x5 (i grow tried of German cars) and the LS400 has always looked good to me.
General comments?
I've had M3's,330ci Convertible, Clk Convertible, and a x5. But the car most fitting for my family was the Gs300 sport.
It was silver with beige interior.
Why could it not have better handling. Its such a shame.
