  • Lexus GX470. An impressive SUV. - 2005 Lexus GX 470
    By -

    Very dependable. It rides so smooth youll think you’re in a limousine. Theres so little outside noise you can forget you are in a car. Handles impeccably for a 4-wheel drive. The fuel consumption isnt great but its tolerable. The instrument panel is easily understood but the navigation system and voice control system is unfortunately confusing. The car is very comfortable and the climate control system is very good. The DVD is easy to use and components can be added easily. There is an AC outlet included in this SUV which allows you to plug in accessories or a playstation for your child. This SUV rides great and is an overall great value.

  • I am in LOVE - 2005 Lexus GX 470
    By -

    I was not a lover of cars. I usually consider myself a bus driver because I am usually driving a carload of children to where they need to be. I like to drive to get where I am going and that is it. I have also driven all types and makes of cars. (My first car was an escort.) I never thought I would ever be committed to one kind of car or maker. I love the Lexus GX 470! This SUV is a great car with the most comfortable ride you will ever experience. I have never had any maintenance issues. In fact, the dealership has gone the extra mile for me and my famlies safety. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for an SUV. You will be hooked like me!

  • You Wont Be Sorry!! - 2005 Lexus GX 470

    Exceptional vehicle! Extremely comfortable, quiet and fun to drive. Handles and responds very well. Has a lot of the functionality of a truck, but drives like a car!! I love it!

  • Awesome - 2005 Lexus GX 470
    By -

    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 -

    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.

  • My 7month old Son Loves His New Car - 2005 Lexus GX 470
    By -

    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 -

    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 -

    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 -

    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.
