Lexus gx comfort in any temperature.
L love my Lexus! Love the heat/cool seats for driver and passenger. Always smooth ride even for an SUV. Its comfortable ride for a family of four, although as my kids are now teenagers, the back seat is a little more cramped. Love having a 3rd row option for extra seating. Supreme sound system makes any ride enjoyable!

Safest and most comfortable SUV.
I had to put a transmission in this car around 65k miles. Apparently this is insanely rare. Other than that, I have never had one complaint about this car. I was in a horrible accident where a kid turned right in front of me with my baby daughter in the car. We barely didn’t total the car. I walked away with only bruises. She walked away without a scratch. I only did not break both legs because of the air bags under the dash. I never knew that was a thing until that day. I cannot say enough good about this car.

Lexus gx460- best choice!
The Lexus gx 460 has an amazing, smooth, and comfortable ride. The interior is comfortable. As always, Lexus makes the most reliable cars out there. The interior features are quality, with reliable Bluetooth audio. Absolutely love this choice of SUV, highly recommend.

It's a luxury suv and has all the comforts. It doesn't have the best gas mileage and does take premium fuel.
Love the comfort and smooth ride. Seats 7 which is more than enough. Love the styling.

It is reliable, clean and comfortable.
It is basically a luxury 4Runner, capable off road but super clean and comfortable on road. It rides very quiet and although I didn't buy it to impress, it never fails to do so.

There is no car that will compare to a Lexus. The ride is smooth, it looks classy and sporty in one package. There is more than enough power for acceleration as needed. You have comfort and reliability all in one car.
Lexus is the most dependable car I have ever owned. Reliability and luxury all in one package.

Luxurious but can handle towing and 4x4 moments as good as the big boy trucks.
Very reliable mid size SUV with all the bells and whistles. Best driving and riding vehicle I have ever owned. Highway gas mileage around 28 and in town gas mileage approximately 18. Keep up with oil change and regular service and a Lexus should last well over 300k miles. Hands down the best luxury SUV for the money.

My old Lexus is the nicest vehicle I have ever had.
Car is perfect except where my daughter hit the garage wall. It runs perfect and has miles on it but maintain it and will last. It has Bluetooth, XM radio, adjustable seats and lumbar supports. Power windows power seats. Power steering. The car has heated seats too. This is the first vehicle I have owned that also has air conditioned seats.
