GX 470 - Will last forever
It's very reliable and plan on keeping it until it dies. It's comfortable, fast, can get through just about anything with the V8 and 4 wheel drive. And the interior is spacious and nice. It's has all of the extras that you rarely find in new cars now unless you pay an arm and a leg.

The 2003 Lexus gx 470 is a great vehicle for road trips and mileage.
The 2003 Lexus gx 470 that I own is very reliable. It can seat up to 7 people. The car is also very smooth on the road and can accelerate well. The only problem I have with this vehicle is of course the mobility, as it is pretty big and the fact that it is top heavy. Other than that, it is a very reliable vehicle.

Love my Lexus. It came with all the options. It had a smooth ride and it hasn't given me any major issues on almost 15 years!!###

The car never had any major problems.
My car is a very hardy, reliable, and safe car. It is great for families and amazing when going on road trips because of its huge trunk. I have never had problems with the car other than a couple tiny tweaks. It's a very comfortable car and has many more pluses about it.

15 years old and it is still. Current and run great.
It is always serviced at the dealer, I am close to 200, 000 miles and everything runs spectacularly! It is a little big for me, I just do not need the third row option any more.
