  Comparison of GX470, Cayenne and X5 - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By stonedesigner - May 11 - 7:26 am

  I just purchased this suv loaded. I compared the Porsche Cayenne and the BMW X5 and the Mercedes M class. There was no comparison in terms of overall comfort, status and value in the long run. My sister has had hers for about 4 months 2004 and mine is 2005. She loves it more every day and I am starting to love mine too! I know I made the right decision. THe Porsche had more of a wow factor but more time in the shop which I dont need, the mercedes wasnt up to snuff and the BMW was a close second but too trucky. This was MUCH more luxurious. I even was able to add 2 extra seats which wasnt available in the BMW or the Porsche. I am happy.

  Great SUV - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Thomas E. Dahlberg - May 6 - 12:03 pm

  This vehicle is great. The handling, power and comfort are amazing. The engineers did their homework and anticpated needs I was unaware I had. I strongly recommend the Navagational/DVD options. My model has the Dynamic Kinetic System and drives backroads like it is on rails.

  Best large SUV bar none - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By eeeee - April 30 - 11:06 am

  Over the last 8 years I have owned the following SUVs ... Mitsubishi Montero, Mercedes ML 430, BMW X-5 4.4i, Infiniti FX. All of these have been top of the line and fully loaded with every option in the book. This time, I shortlisted and test drove the Range Rover, The LX470, the Cayenne, the Touareg the MDX, and finally the GX 470. Other then the 3rd seat (which despite the bulk, is still very convenient for my 6 and 10 yr old), there is simply no down side to this SUV. Even the gas mileage is good (18 mpg) considering it weighs in at 6800 pounds. It beats its own older brother (the LX 470) at its game for $15000 less. If you need a large SUV with superb comfort, you need not look any further.

  I Love Still Today - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Diane - March 1 - 1:03 am

  I test drove almost every suv out there. From the moment I drove the GX, I loved it. I now own it for six months. It is wonderful. I recently hit a deer. The car did not skid. It was solid and kept us safe. I love driving it. It feels dreamy to drive. Love the seats, interior, radio etc. This is my first Lexus. I also own a Mercedes C320.... would consider trading it in for a Lexus in the future. The Lexus people have great service.

  Smart and classy buy - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By Elena - February 18 - 7:23 pm

  Looked at many other suvs, but loved this one! I have had it for almost a year and an very happy with it. I have just reached 12,000+ miles and the car still looks brand new! It drives very comfortably and is spacious! The trunk is a bit small when the third row is down, but i love the third row option. People tend to complain about the trunk door, but it has not bothered me once! Its a great car and should last a good long time, both the interior and engine! :)

  The best SUV I have owned. Luxury and performance in one vehicle. You will not be disappointed. Compared with other luxury SUVs, the Lexus GX 470 was the one you cant forget. Its quiet and the ride is smooth.

  Lexus GX470. An impressive SUV. - 2005 Lexus GX 470
  By RICK D - January 13 - 5:13 pm

  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 Heidi - December 24 - 3:36 pm

  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!
