  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.

  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.

  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.

  GX470 vs. ML320 - 2003 Lexus GX 470
  By letsee1 - July 14 - 10:00 am

  Recently replaced 2000 Mercedes ML 320 with GX 470. Mercedes had dozens of reliability problems. GX is much quieter, smoother and more versatile in terms of interior layout. Third row seats are easy for one person to remove. Fuel mileage is better than expected at over 17 mpg in mixed driving.

  Almost Perfect - 2003 Lexus GX 470
  By mangophil - July 13 - 2:00 am

  Overall this is a great vehicle. Its styling and performance make up for the swing gate rear door. Why did Lexus downgrade from the 4runner lift gate. You cant open the swing gate when you pull a boat nor does it shelter the stroller when its raining. We have been surprised with the gas mileage; were getting about 17 in the city. The 3rd row seating really isnt practical except maybe for kids 5-10. Does the vehicle height increase the likelihood of a rollover? I saw a report that the GX has a lower center of gravity than the 4runner and the stability control should help the driver recover control.

  2003 Lexus GX-470 - 2003 Lexus GX 470
  By Daver - May 27 - 10:00 am

  My new Lexus GX-470 is an amazing automobile to drive and own. It was purchased 1 month ago. I have driven a Lincoln Nav. for the past 4 years as well as a complete test, or comparison of the new Aviator. Although it is not fair to compare the GX-470 to a Nav., I found that in my complete comparison with the Aviator, among other SUVs, driving the Lexus, in all modes, was like riding on air, not to mention the silence inside while in operation. It is extremely difficult to tell if the GXs motor is engaged, as there is no residual noise whatsoever. Although it is an SUV, it rides more like a luxury car. It is an amazing driving experience.

  Awesome - 2003 Lexus GX 470
  By Dw4653 - January 13 - 10:00 am

  I had the RX300 before this, and to believe that the GX470 is twice the car is an understatement. It is truely an amazing car.
