Lexus gx owners love the model.

The Lexus gx is a reliable, durable, strong vehicle. I feel safe while driving, it handles nicely, and has all the comforts of a luxury vehicle, such as heated and ac leather seats, backup camera, sunroof, and GPS map, and Bluetooth enabled. I have had no mechanical issues since owning this car.

Jan C

It is a very good quality car that will last.

I like the 3rd row seating and the electrical outlet in back. I like the room it has. I do not like it is 6 years old.

Great SUV with all of the bells/whistles.

Rides and handles smoothly, no mechanical issues, great storage area when put the 3rd seat down, heated/cooled seats, great Bose sound system, great timeless design, plenty of legroom and headroom, sunroof feature, 2nd seat has center armrest/cup holder, only downfall is there is not USB charging option for backseat.

Amazing and reliable car for the road!

The car is great! It is very smooth with sensitive and responsive pedals which make for a great drive. Very comfortable seats. The air conditioner and heating is also very fast working and reliable. I have used this car for years and it still works like it is brand new! Overall great car.

Lexus gx a step above any other SUV.

Drives perfectly with minimal road noise. The car has adequate pick up and easily pulls a trailer. Lots of room, seating 7 very comfortably. All the bells and whistles. This car has anything and everything you would need and more. The GPS is very reliable and up to date. Love the space and comfort when driving. I have a long commute and this car has made it much easier to stand.

LACKING A SERIOUS AMOUNT OF PERFORMANCE.

I have 2012 gx and when I go on vacation in West Virginia, it struggles to go uphill. It is the total opposite of reliable, I had 1 chasie bolt replaced, 1caliper, 4 wheel bearings replaced, and the egr valve got stuck causing the rpm to rev high. One good thing about the GX is it's luxurious interior. I don't think that its worth buying another one and I wouldn't recommend it to buy. My 2002 chevy trailblazer was alot better.

My vehicle can provide me with transportation to long distances and I like it.

My vehicle is pretty good, there has been no major problems so far and allows me to go far distances without breaking down or anything. It has a pretty good build and the car looks good inside and outside. Overall it has quality performance. I give this car a 10/10.

Henri M on April 4, 2021

Lexus gx 2012 4l great car that still runs as great as when it was purchased.

This vehicle has served me well through the years and it will continue to deliver for years to come. This car has been kept clean and well maintenance throughout its life. The ac runs very cold and its heating is excellent in the colder months. No check engine lights or any other issues. Tires still have some tread but a new set is optimal to get it back in nearly perfect conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 2012 Lexus GX460 have a timing belt or chain?

Answer: The 2012 Lexus GX460 uses a timing chain rather than a timing belt. It is better when a timing chain is used because they usually last for the life of the vehicle unlike the belt which needs to be replaced...
