Lexus did no disappoint with this SUV. It's sleek exterior is impressive while the interior stands above the rest in its class. We expected luxury with a bit of sportiness and this fit exactly that! The GX drives smoothly even with its size, which you usually don't get with SUVs. It always helps to know that this car's reliability ratings were excellent...which is what you expect with purchasing a Lexus.
Japanese automotive used to be bulletproof.

Poor acceleration, problematic rear air suspension, terrible MPG, lack of standard safety aids found in lower priced makes. We owned this Premium GX 460 from 38k till it had 97k on the odometer. It was dealer serviced from new (we used the same Lexus dealer the first owner purchased and serviced at) but even that could not keep the above mentioned issues from being ongoing problems. We also had to have a steering rack, radiator, ABS brake module, fan blower motor and a few other items replaced. This vehicle was not used hard and still developed issues that were VERY expensive to replace. Ongoing squeaking of Lexus dealer installed brakes and rear suspension sagging on one side finally were enough to go with a different make.

This is our second GX . First was the GX 470 bought new in 2004. Never had a squeak in either car. Safe,reliable,comfortable, but not exciting to drive. I always felt my wife would be safe in this vehicle

This is my 4th Lexus. In hindsight I should have bought something else. I don't know if I'll buy another one. Lexus has gotten complacent and are seeing declining sales for this very reason. They had an opportunity to improve the GX470. Instead they have made a series of poor design decisions and dropped the ball on acceptance criteria which resulted in a subpar and dated product making it to market right out of the gate. Couple examples and it gets worse. 2010 RX350 has compass in mirror, offroad SUV does not. Have to use remote to turn on rear ent, no way via nav. Lexus needs to respond to complaints and do something, instead of just giving lip service. No longer the Lexus of old.
Comfortable but No Soul

This is a quality vehicle with nice features. I could not believe how comfortable the driving position was and how smoothly it drove around town. However, I ended up trading out of it for the following reasons. 1) It LABORS on the highway and is a tiring ride on long trips. 2) It feels unnecessarily big 3) The NAV and iPod systems are annoying 4) It chugs gas making you ask the question, "Do I really need this vehicle?" 5) Overall, this is a very pretty vehicle, but it has no soul. If you absolutely need a USEFUL 3rd row and you don't care about sending your college savings $$ to the Middle East, then this vehicle might be for you. Otherwise, I would absolutely recommend a BMW X5.
