  Awesome - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Scott - September 1 - 10:56 am

  The GX 470 is a great balance of luxury and performance. I feel like I am still in a truck capable of going off-roading in difficult conditions yet still feel like I am in a smooth riding high end sedan. Great vehicle overall!

  100% Satisfied - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By SteveH - August 2 - 5:30 pm

  This SUV is the perfect blend of a car and truck. Coming from my previous SUV (2002 Lincoln Navigator), I truly appreciate its attention to detail and quality finish. I recommend this vehicle to any one in the market for a luxury SUV.

  GX Spot - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Berle - July 13 - 7:36 pm

  This is our 3rd Lexus trading up from the RX model. The main reason we bought the GX is its size while driving around Florida. We are totally thrilled with the performance of this vehicle. The interior is well appointed and is the best ride we have had in years owning a vehicle. Driving is a joy on a calm day. If it is windy you are going to struggle with the wheel when sudden gust prevail. Passenger seating is very good in the back except for the cargo area fold down seating. Just try to get back there. Leg room zero and tolerable for young kids. Cargo area and rear door needs work. With cargo seats stored you are limited with space for any large items unless you remove the seats.

  My 7month old Son Loves His New Car - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By New Mom - June 7 - 7:43 am

  I love this car. Like they say once you go Lexus you never go back. The reliability, comfort, and customer service cant be beat. Like I said my seven month old son loves his new car.

  Purrfect - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By RobDee - April 19 - 5:16 pm

  This is the perfect SUV for those who want a true offroad (Outer Banks) and super comfortable ride for five passengers loaded with every option known to man. You will think you died and went to heaven. And it runs on REGULAR. Touareg came in second; more stylish and a drivers dream, but reliablity issues, size constraints in the back seat and storage, premium fuel, and poorer mileage .

  Best SUV ever owned - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Ira G. - April 17 - 5:43 am

  The Lexus GX 470 is probably the most reliable, comfortable, and well designed SUV that I have ever owned. My previous cars were GMC Jimmy, Land Rover, Range Rover, and now GX 470! It is much better than the Range Rover in every way and I can lease 2 GXs for the cost of 1 Range Rover.

  IIt capped off the 4 Runner - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By SilverGX - March 13 - 3:16 pm

  Have a 05 4 Runner Ltd. The GX takes that platform and tops it off. They may have the same meat but you can certainly tell the difference and to me worth the price. If a Bells and whistle person you got to give the vehicle a look. soft leather, power steering wheel, 14 speaker Audio, better overall interior. Nav system thought it was high well once have one they are neat. Nice wood accents.

  Great SUV; soccer mom car - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By gw9 - November 22 - 1:33 pm

  Having owned Lexus before I knew this would be a very reliable car. Gas & go. Maintain per mfg recommendations and it will last forever. What it is for: In town errands; carrying clean cargo like groceries and such; long road trips; ski trips; car pools. What its not for: Work truck; off roading; hauling heavy trailers; hauling construction supplies or plant material. Its a soccer mom car. Reliable, elegant, comfy. Zero excitement but what SUV is?
