Hey guys i recently bought 2002 gs300, trade my 98 es300, I just had some question maybe its stupid talk about well anyway, is it normal on 2500 -3000 RPMs engine rev like crazy? I used to have es300 its wasn’t like that its was same acceleration but much quaiter, or when you turn car on and its kinda loud u can hear how engine runs its doest feel like its lexus and especially 40gran gs series, like its weird. Another thing after full stop I step on gas and sometimes its have some delays I was thinking maybe trasmition is need to replace its only 68000miles, and suspension is just killing me everytime I drive little bump that it! its like I drive bus and its not like its sports car I try its doesn’t handles any corners ……….sorry guys am just new to this car and please give me some details what’s overall quality most common problems with GS , tankz

By the way am thinking upgrade my brake wana change brake drums brake shoe any suggestionz………. tanx4reply ……….

IMO the GS3 tends to be a little loud. The suspension is very soft stock also. Congrats on the upgrade!

first of all you bought a car that lived in New York... suspension wise they probably are not in the best shape.. if the car hesitates at take off get it checked out you may need a tune up 68K sounds about right if the previous owner never changed the spark plugs cap and rotor... good luck

if it wasn't for my high skills in speaking fluent gibberish, i would n't understand a damn thing the poster meant
anyways, welcome to CL.
i have a GS300 too and if it seems like they start of slower, ibelieve that is normal as opposed to their GS400 counterpart.
i have tested different GS300s and 400s and they are all the same.
if it is anything,
well good luck.

u be needa change da trasmition fluid, and u gota change da spark plugs, and probably need change da engin air feolter, and im juz sayin da car needa tune up at like da 60000milez mark ya feel me... and a gs is a more noiseyer than that yo old car cuz it meant to b more sporty n all, there isnt drum brakes on the gs it only hav disc brake on all the car, the suspension is bumpier than the es because it is more of a sport suspension. what b all this talk about a homosex cat? and what are this talk of hookonphnoeicx?

LoL man, my grammar isn't usually that bad...just messin with ya! Hopefully you get your problems sorted out very soon. Just take your car into a shop that works on Lexus cars and ask for the 60K miles service and your car should run like new afterwards! Oh yeah welcome to CL, we tease but we're still a friendly bunch!
