  Lexus New SUV - 2003 Lexus GX 470
  By OWNER - May 14 - 10:00 am

  My wife and I just purchased the new lexus gx. So far it is enjoyable but I am now looking to purchase the Porsche Cayenne. The Lexus is smooth and navigational system easy to use. I love the engine but maybe a little more horspower would be better. We didnt like that there are no xenon head lamps or integrated turn signals in the mirrors. Otherwise, the lexus is a great competitor and should last for years.

  Unhappy with first Lexus - 2003 Lexus GX 470
  By ChazK - May 9 - 10:00 am

  Our first Lexus and Ill have to say, Ive never been so dissappointed with an automobile. Transmission seems to slip on occassion and it takes bumps a lot harder than I assumed it would. When driving at low speeds up to about 50, it seems to be a little "jerky", for lack of a better term; almost as though it was shifting back and forth between gears. I would difinately test drive one and concentrate on the ride and not get so caught up in the luxurious interior and all of the whistles and bells. The automobile is beautiful inside and out. I just wish the performance matched the beauty. If I were to base Lexus on this GX470; I would never buy another one.

  Easy to Drive and Park - 2003 Lexus GX 470
  By rhayman - February 18 - 2:00 am

  Its big and comfortable with a safe feeling as you glide along the highway. And glide is a good feeling as to how this baby handles. Dont use the navigation system for familiar trips around town unless you want to see new territory. Be sure to get the rubber floor mats for winter carpet protection. Con: Must be in park to use seat/mirror presets. Highway gas mileage is better than expected; city driving is a gas hog.

  Dont Believe The J.D. Power Report - 2003 Lexus GX 470
  By tlwpb - December 26 - 10:00 am

  This is the best SUV I had drive, Ive test drive the MDX, ML320, FX45, before buying the GX470. This SUV is very smooth, quiet, and powerful, and the quality is the best compare to other SUVs company. Recently, I have checked the J.D. Power wed site about the GX470 rating, and I believe they have made a big mistake in rating this automobile or the people that do the evaulation did do it right! So, dont believe every thing you read or see.

  Safety? - 2003 Lexus GX 470
  By Paul - November 3 - 1:43 pm

  Got this GX-470 2003 back on 04/2003, fully loaded. Since then visited dealer once for turning signal light bulb (got replaced for free even after warranty expiration). Other than that - only scheduled maintenance. Never drove anything better than this (including x5/3.0-2007) before or after. Few days ago my daughter got hit by Civic into passenger side on a street (35 mph, at the time of impact even slower for both cars). My GX fell on drivers side, total loss. My girl landed on asphalt through drivers window under my GX, covered by broken glass, cut her left arm and elbow. Her passenger bumped her head. All bags in my GX are intact. WHAT IS SAFETY?

  FANTASTIC TRUCK - 2003 Lexus GX 470
  By fencemeister1 - November 1 - 2:00 am

  THE ONLY IMPROVEMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE 3RD. ROW SEATS. SHOULD HAVE FOLDED OUT OF THE WAY. I GET OVER 18MPG GOING 80MPH! NOT BAD FOR A BIG V-8 ALL WHEEL DRIVE.......

  First time Lexus buyer - 2003 Lexus GX 470
  By Lexus GX470 - October 14 - 7:26 pm

  My other vehicle is a Ford Explorer. There is absolutely no comparison at any level. This is the smoothest riding, most comfortable vehicle Ive ever driven in and since its a Toyota, reliability is key. I will never own any else.

  Nice, but could be better - 2003 Lexus GX 470
  By Mike B. - August 19 - 5:50 pm

  Traded a Honda Pilot for the GX. Looks bigger than the Pilot, but its not on the inside, especially the 3rd row seat. Build quality is great. More like a truck than the Pilot, which I like-better 4 wheel drive system. Overall, very nice vehicle and I will buy a Lexus again.

  Rock Solid - 2003 Lexus GX 470
  By Fathom - July 19 - 2:00 am

  Ive only had the vehicle one week but love it already. Build quality beyond excellent. Small features like lighted door handles (inside) everywhere are a great touch. Nav and integrated electronics very very good.
