Yes the gs300 is underpowered and unreliable.

Not sure why anyone would buy it over the gs460, gs350 or Gs450h.

Don't forget the GS430... The UZ V8s may be the most reliable engines ever made in all of automotive history.

I wouldn't say garbage, yes its underpowered etc, its still a legit tank of an engine, it has the cons like carbon and oil eating issue but it wont blow up on you, but if you have the extra cash, then look elsewhere, unless you can get a super good deal on 300 then go ahead, I had 2 3G300's before and 1 was 250,000KM and second was 320,000KM.

Thanks to Cowboe's videos he made manually cleaning that carbon easier. If one takes care of their GS300, does the cleaning and other maintenance they wouldnt run into any major issues that will break the bank.
