  Best of the Best - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By pH - July 8 - 12:10 am

  This is a great truck. Love the ride, handling, comfort and looks. Im 62", so I had no problems to fit inside, unlike 4runner or VW Touareg. Highly recommend this vehicle. Much better than Mercedes and BMW. NAV system in not as good as other competitors and voice activated commands doesnt work as it suppose to. Because of the cabin noise from AC or heater it doesnt recognize commands. Overall Im happy with the purchase. There are, of course, a lot of things for improvement, majority of which I listed in the Improvements section. I also would like to see front connectors on the radio to be able to hook up the iPOD/MP3 player.

  Love My Lexus! - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Momoftwo - May 21 - 10:46 pm

  Whats not to love about this suv!? It is super comfortable and drives so smooth. The extras like the navigation and DVD system are great and very user friendly. The sound system is top of the line. On top of all that it looks great. I also like that I only have to get the oil changed every 5K miles. I have taken it on several road trips always feel safe and comfortable on the interstate. Keeping this car for the four years that I promised my husband will not be hardship at all!!

  Fun to drive. Very stylish. Best Nav system out there. Much better then my Mercedes CL 500! Decent pick up for a heavy SUV. Pretty enough to be a car for Sat night out! Love it.

  My 2004 GX - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By GX4DAVE - October 10 - 10:23 pm

  The reviews are right. You wont miss the LX 470. The GX 470 is Toyotas best SUV in my mind. All the features and options I wanted at a reasonable price. I even found it fun and easy to install the rear spoiler myself. I would definitely buy one again.

  So far so good..... - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By What a ride!!!!!!! - September 21 - 5:26 am

  I had the unfortunate experience of leasing VW touareg before looking at the other cars... It was a big mistake...I decided to take the loss and go with Lexus...it is like night and day between the VW and Lexus... I could not believe how much of a difference there was between the two.. Get a Lexus ... GX 470, RX330 or what ever.. Lexus is great...

  Mamas Car - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Chase - July 17 - 9:36 am

  My dad and my mom bought this car after my mom had been looking for MONTHS! When i first saw he car i thought it looked decent. We happened to be at an away game for my school, and I could not wait to get to ride home in the car, But then the second i got in the car I was SO disappointed! I could hardly fit in the back seat! There is absolutely no room! also, another problem that we had was the navigation screen. I mean my family was so confused cause, you run the climate from that screen, the radio, the DVD player, and everything else that would have been a lot easier just to make buttons for. My family has not liked this car at all! I mean 16 mpg highway, I mean come on. Just dont get this car!

  Best Sport Ute Ever - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Tim Swinney - July 15 - 9:33 pm

  After surviving a near-fatal 50-mph rearend accident as the driver in a sports car, I wanted something more substantial behind my body. The GX- 470 gives me all the security I need and more. I cannot imagine feeling safer in a vehicle yet the ride and comfort baby my damaged back and neck. The short list is what to change--more cup holders, uhh, dash input for digital player, maybe 4 inches longer for more room for cargo? Its damn near perfect!

  First foreign vehicle and am Wowwed! - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Marty - June 16 - 8:43 pm

  Own a very late 2004, but basically the same. Except for some of the plasticware being a little low grade for the Lexus name, the vehicle is outstanding! Never owned a foreign vehicle before, but I am SOLD on Lexus! Drove on icy roads with NO trouble! Nav sys was a bit outdated, but works great! Got DVD in headrests w/game plug ins and that is worth the money on long trips! Wife would like more storage space. 3rd seat can really only hold kids as adults would have knees up to chest. Seats and controls are very comfortable and engine has quite the get up and go! City driving gets 18+ mpg and highway (fully loaded w/cargo top) got about 20. Not great, but OK. Parkplace Lexus is super, too!

  By steve - May 24 - 3:00 am

  After leasing 2 RX300s over the last six years, this is a BIG step up. The deal was outstanding but the vehicle really sold itself. Comfort, power and looks all in one package. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone in the market for a mid to large size SUV. You wont go wrong.
