  The GX 470 offers great comfort and reliability with outstanding looks, being a first time owner I intent to be a life long Lexus owner. Finally there is a car company who understands the meaning of producing a truly Quality automobile. Thanks Lexus!

  Excellent vehicle. Performance is great. Fuel economy is a factor, but its V8 4,7 so its not that bad. Interior is luxurious, ride is fun.

  Love My New GX470 - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By anne - July 12 - 3:10 pm

  I bought my GX470 a month ago, and it meets all my expectations. I have owned 4 other Lexus, all sedans, but I like this model best of all. Plenty of space for my 3 grandchildren, a great entertainment center, and a nice smooth ride all add to our enjoyment. Also, excellent visibility and lots of power under the hood!

  Great ride - 2005 Lexus GX 470

  I bought my GX last month after owning 3 land cruisers. Faster, better handling, more comfortable and of course more luxurious than my Cruisers. Should have bought 2 since my wife drives it everyday. ( and her car is a SLC 230 Kompressor )

  2005 GX 470 review - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Hank - March 11 - 12:00 pm

  This vehicle is one of the best vehicles we have ever owned...maybe the best, but we have only owned it for 1 month, so we will need more time to evaluate it. The only better SUV will be the hybrid GX470H(?) to help fuel economy. The GX has every option we were looking for and more. The navigation is tremendous! It does everything for you. I am a car buff and do not really care for Japanese imports, but the GX470 is the benchmark in all catagories for the USA to strive for. Buy it...youll like it!

  Lexus GX 470 - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By MC Chapman - February 12 - 8:20 am

  Traded in 2003 Range Rover due to really lousy mileage and high test gas requirement; the GX 470 rides like a baby carriage, takes regular gas and is excellent on milage. It is comfortable, easy to drive and very user friendly. Additionally, its spacious cabin and top notch appointments make long hauls a delight. Its ability to "kneel" for exiting of back seat passsengers is a real plus for kids and oldsters, alike. The NAV system and the Blue Tooth capability and voice command ability really puts it ahead of any other SUV I test drove, and the reverse camera is something every car should have! The "dipping" sideview mirrors in Reverse are also very useful.

  I just traded a 2002 Toyota Sequoia and I really didnt know the meaning of a luxury driving feeling before I got into the GX 470. I love it!

  Great machine! - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Al - October 24 - 12:23 pm

  Have been most impressed by the GX470. Very solid feel, excellent performance and good safety features. Just the right size for me, kids grown with only grandkids to haul now. Would recommend this vehicle to anyone, usual Lexus quality, no problems after 9,000 miles.

  MORE ATTENTION TO ROAD MANNERS - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By BARTON - September 13 - 12:46 am

  This is a beautiful SUV, well designed for passenger comfort and with all the elegance and refinement one should expect from a vehicle in this price range. It has but one flaw --- it is NOT rock-steady at highway speeds in the wind and has more "slip stream" wobble when it encounters 18-wheelers than our Grand Cherokee! This is obviously due to its height/tread width ratio and would approach "perfect" if shaved down a couple of inches or (better yet) based on a wider platform. Overall a wonderful vehicle but I would NOT have purchased it had I tested its highway performce in advance.
