I love my Lexus gx 470 the best ever.
My Lexus is the best vehicle I ever owned. Its handling and drive are the best I ever experienced. The car is simply the best. The only issue is the gas mileage. It averages about 17 miles a gallon. I would like it over 20. Everything else about the car is excellent.

This car will be in it for the long haul. Do not worry about tiny fixes all the time, it works great, has quality parts.
We have had the car for over 12 years. It has been a very reliable car with only one or two "superficial" issues. We have loved owning this car. My only complaint is i wish it had better gas mileage

Take care of it, will last forever! My other Lexus has almost 300k miles on it.
I love this car - it is great for off-roading, driving around town, etc. I only wish it got better gas mileage.

Car has great gas mileage. Not suggested for moving or driving cross states.
Its ok! It can use a lot of gas! Good car on the road! Good mileage on the road! Also is a good car to travel in on a daily basis to and from school and work! It also uses a lot of gasoline! It requires good maintenance to get good mileage! The bulbs go out too regularly! The brakes require to changed at least 2 to 3 times a year!.

2005 Lexus sedan with speed.
Car engine runs very well and the gas and brake pedals ease very nicely. Car is comfortable but a little bit small for drivers over 6 feet tall. Interior is nice but outdated media outlets. Steering wheel is not difficult to use and speaker system is nice.
