Nigel V

Great ride.Would advise anyone to buy.

It doesn't handle well around corners and bends but the v8 engine provides plenty of power. It is reliable in the winter months. Very easy handling through snow and ice with the all wheel drive system. The leather seats are heated and or cooled to your specifications and are very comfortable.

My favorite feature for this car would have to be the trunk.

My car is very high in performance I can recommend and say this model has given me no problems and I have had this car for two years now. I drive far for work so this car is the perfect vehicle for me. It has proven to be very spacious in the passenger and in the back of the car.

Smooth ride and great gas mileage

It's a Comfortable and luxurious vehicle. I find the drive is smooth and safe. Great gas mileage for such a classy car.

Worth The Money

This is a wonderful SUV, and it is an SUV, not a car based crossover. There’s really nothing else quite like it, maybe a Land Rover, but you better get up close and personal with your Service Mgr. If you get one of those. Reliable, safe, well built, comfortable, quiet, it’s a pleasure to own and drive. Some call it old school, I say that’s a compliment. Buy one, you won’t be sorry.

The most capable and versatile car ever!

Honestly, I love my Lexus gx 460 because it can comfortably seat 7 adults, yet it do not feel like I am driving a school bus! It has tons of power, way more than I'd ever use. It gets over 20 mpg and can tow a lot for a car it is size. Also, when everyone is getting stuck in snow storms, my Lexus always gets me to where I need to go!

Great comfortable luxury vehicle.

Love the Lexus, very comfortable smooth ride easy handling. Lots of legroom, warming and cooling seats. The adjustable seat height is nice and the computer technology is good. I wish the radio connected to android and not just Apple. I would buy this car again and hope to upgrade soon.

Danette H

Performance is outstanding! Very quiet ride, comfortable and we have had zero problems out of it.

We bought the vehicle brand new and it is everything we dreamed of. It includes an optional 3rd row, navigation, SOS (like "On Star"), it provides a quiet ride and it has a sleek look.

Amazing car fun to drive, very safe.

This is the best car I have ever had. Drives so smoothly and amazing in snow. Audio system is great, and the car is overall roomy. Heated seats in the front, and the back, the steering wheel comes with many different features. Overall amazing car well worth the investment. Never had a problem with this car, and it looks amazing.

Lexus 2016 review pros and cons.

It is a Lexus, so it is well built. It does not seem to have the luxury as other Lexus models. I like the climate control, memory seats and automatic features. It does not seem to have enough power for the size of the engine. All in all, it is a nice vehicle.
