  Love it! - 2005 Lexus GX 470

  This car is by far the best Ive owned. It rides smoothly, making it a pleasure to ride. While the gas mileage is not great, its good for an SUV.

  Love It! Love It! Love It! - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By gallowaymm - August 11 - 12:56 am

  I love my new truck! It is the perfect size - not too big, not too small. My only complaint is that there are not enough compartments for storage. But, I do realize I had to give up something to get the smaller vehicle that I wanted. The ride is great. My 10 year has plenty of room in the middle. I have not yet used the 3rd row, so I have no comments about that. I do know I will stay in this vehicle for a long time. I was ready to get rid of my last SUV 4 months after I purchased it because it was just too large for me to handle. This is worth every penny spent!

  We purchased the car after downsizing from a Toyota Seqouia (which is another great vehicle). Both my children have gotten their licenses and being an active family from skiing to the beach house, this suv gives you the room, comfort and reliability woth no worries

  Better than expected - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By ABO - November 23 - 1:13 pm

  Picked up a Sport w/ Rear Entertainment system. Love the performance of the V8. Drives excellent. Still learning about the details of the options but already the rearview camera is more useful than expected. Purchased for my wife; after one day it is clear I will never get to drive it again. This is the first Lexus for us and the quality of the vehicle and the sales staff was surprising when compared to US brands.

  Vehicle handles and rides beautifully. Gas mileage is less than rated and computer indicates better than average. Touch screen navigaion system results in smudges on screen.

  GX470 - 2005 Lexus GX 470

  Excellent car and great service as usual from Lexus. Rear transaxle gets loose and needs to be tightened every 10,000 miles. Lexus stands behind every detail.
