The car is very nice but it is expensive and could be hard to afFord.
I love it because it drives very smoothly. It sits high off of the ground making you feel safe. It has leather and nice features inside the vehicle and outside.

Lexus is the choice for comfort!
I am and have been very happy with my purchase, the car has been very reliable, no mechanical problems whatsoever, I have it turned up and oil changed once per year and it runs very smooth. The interior upholstery is a premium finish, very comfortable and has kept. Very well over the past 5 plus years.

My Lexus gx ownership experience.
My gx is versatile with plenty of storage and enough power to perform well in any situation. It is very reliable and other than a few manufacturer recalls it has not needed anything than standard maintenance. It has 4x4 capabilities and can be pushed hard and it keeps its luxury feel and creature comforts.

I love my 2013 Lexus GX460!
I've owned the car for the last 4 years and other than general maintenance (brakes, oil changes and battery) I have not had any other issues. I happy with both the look & functionality of the interior of the vehicle as well as the exterior. I would highly recommend the Lexus GX to anyone. It is my opinion and that Lexus makes a superior vehicle.

Lexus GX 460 - the last SUV you will ever need!
I really haven't had any problems with my car. It is the most reliable car that I have ever owned. I make sure I take care of regular maintenance, oil changes, fluids. I currently have 133,000 miles (mostly highway miles) and I hope to have this SUV for at least another 133,000 miles. The car is very comfortable and drives smooth. It is great on long trips.

Versatile & luxurious ride.
My Lexus gx has had no problems and is completely reliable. In fact, it's the second Lexus gx I have owned. We live in Colorado and it is great driving in the mountains during the winter and off-road in the summer. This car is Versatile and luxurious.

Literally falling apart. This car has falling apart. All door locks remain broken.
The lexus is of poor quality. The sides of the doors came apart and at times it was hard to close the door. Speaking of the doors, the handles are chipped and one of the door handles is completely broken. In addition, I have had the door locks replaced twice, and the trunk and front door locks are broken again.

I absolutely love my Lexus gx 460. Best mom car there is.
I have had no problems whatsoever. It is an extremely reliable car which is important for me as a mother. It is very comfortable and can seat up to seven people. It has a sunroof, heated and cooling seats, motion detectors, a back up camera and back seat heating and cooling. I love it.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Stephanie B.

Powerful engine, high towing capacity, nice interior, overall good performance and reliability. It is comfortable for long road trips and strong enough to tow our boat. The Bluetooth audio system is perfect for hands-free communication while driving.

likeFilled Owen D.

The Lexus gs460 has a lot of features that I use daily while driving it including Great gas mileage, lots of space, beautiful interior, a Bose sound system along with a touch screen display. I also love the Bluetooth design.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Stephanie B.

Some of the time has come loose, and one of the door handles has broken, which makes me question some of the quality of the components. Though the engine is solid, some of the trim components may not be as high quality.

dislikeFilled Owen D.

Some cons are when the car is stalled it tends to still consume a large portion of gas. The car has also had a few problems across its large lifespan, including having its computing system and its odometer replaced as well as quite a few tires. Overall this is an amazing car.
