1998 Lexus GS300 SE New Model from UK and Ireland - Comments

Nothing at all.

Excellent car. Very well designed with high quality materials used. Engine and 5 speed auto work smoothly together and are virtually silent in operation. Ride is a bit firmer than in US but the handling is better as a result. The car looks great especially from the front. If you want one, get it in black.

I bought a GS300 in Oct 2000. Generally very happy, however one or two points:

I find the steering too loose and sensitive; dealer let air out of tyres but really no difference. Anyone else find this problem?

Secondly, the paintwork develops lines very easily, not scratches, just lines. I can't figure where they come from.

Finally, and perhaps trivially, the volume button (on the really excellent sound system) is too shallow and broad.

Any comments?

I agree with the steering being too sensitive. I have a 1999 GS300 SE and decided to replace the front tyres with some very expensive ones. This has made a slight difference in the handling but not much. As far as the paint work goes scratches seem to appear very easily, don't know why.

If you wax the car enough you won't have that problem.
