  Money is better spent elsewhere - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Angela Marshall - March 20 - 9:10 am

  I had been a Lexus-for-life customer until this purchase. There is a vibration in the vehicle that resonates in the passenger seat that I am told after three trips back to the dealership is coming from the transfer case and is characteristic of all GX 470s (we also own a 2004 Tahoe that has a better interior ride). I have owned two LX 470s prior to going to the GX and regret every penny spent. When I contacted Lexus corp they were simply complacent about my dissatisfaction, they thanked me for the call and, in essence, recommended that I shop at a different Lexus dealer next time. Recommendation: buy a different make, for the money there are a lot to choose from.

  04 GX470 - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By kennyc123 - February 2 - 3:00 pm

  Over all this has been a good vehicle to date. There have been a few problems with the drive shaft slip-yoke. There is also a persistant coolant smell which Lexus claims is normal. Next year I may trade the GX for an 07 Escallade.

  AS GOOD AS IT GETS - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By mitchell rowe - January 2 - 8:43 pm

  The gx has a way of adapting to the drivers personality. Well call it a friendly machine. When it snowed last week, I drove 190 miles both ways to north jersey as if it were 85 degrees and sunny. On a warm day it seems as if youre driving a bmw 3 series. The levinson radio is real. The current generation navigation system actually works. The 5 speed tranny doesnt miss a shift. And most important to my wife, its easy to get in and out of the front or back. We rate the gx a 10.

  Lexus builds another top of the line SUV - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Ed - November 5 - 2:33 pm

  EXCELLENT in most details. The 3rd row seat (as an option) it too tight and a joke at $2,000.00 for the price. Other than that EVERY aspect of the Lexus GX- 470 to OUTSTANDING and top quality.

  great suv - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By harlan - November 2 - 10:36 am

  Only had the suv for 8 days and love the luxury and the handling. It is a really beautiful vehicle. I was driving an 8 year old Toyota 4-Runner with 142,000 miles. Quite a change from the Toyota. Gas mileage is not too good, but I knew that before I bought the vehicle. I was looking at the MDX but it was not a luxurious as the Lexus

  My favorite vehicle, the GX470 - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Angela - February 16 - 11:36 am

  My Lexus GX470 is by far my favorite vehicle. Ive had other luxury vehicles in the past but hands down the GX470 outperforms all of them. Its an SUV that can take on the rugged terrain, yet drives like a luxury sedan. The interior is quiet and comfortable. If you have children there is plenty of leg room not to mention 3rd row seating. Its extremely easy to get my infant in and out of the vehicle. No more back problems! More than enough room to throw all of your luggage or shopping bags! I love it!!! Angie from AZ

  Great Value for a Luxury SUV - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By kellerman - January 17 - 9:13 pm

  I live in the mountains and work in real estate. My driving habits are much more demanding than the typical buyer. I use the vehicle regularly in wintry conditions and also off road. In both capacities, the vehicle is extremely capable and gives the driver lots of confidence. The SUV is very luxurious and has much better build quality than its American competitors. Nav, Bluetooth, rear-view camera, and DVD all work well. I get around 16 MPG, but that is better than other heavy SUVs that get around 12-13 MPG in this area.

  Why own anything else but Lexus - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Barry Pravorne - December 7 - 6:13 am

  Anyone who owns this car knows it does everything well. Lexus takes care of you by doing everything well while making you feel that servicing your car isnt an unpleasant chore. I had three bmws in the past and will never own another one while Lexus sells cars. I am currently looking to add another GX and get rid of my last bmw. Owning this car has been a pleasure.
