Best old school SUV

I have this car for the past 4 months and I love it every time I step in. Now, this car is old school and it lacks some of the latest gadgetry but other than that this car is best the SUV ever. For starters, I like the driving position a lot. It gives you the nice commanding view of the road for which old school SUVs are famous for. The overall visibility from the driver seat is amongst the best. I took the test drive of 2018 Q7 and MDX and I can tell you the driving position and visibility of GX460 is superior to both. Second I like the silky smooth engine and the transmission which in my opinion is the best in the industry. Third I like the ergonomics of this car a lot. Once you take the driving position, every button on the dashboard and steering is very ergonomically located. This is where I feel inspite of lack of technology when compared to the latest cars like Q7, GX460 is still very easy to drive. And the last, the turning radius of this big SUV is surprisingly very small. Its just so easy to maneuver this car because of such a small turning radius (smaller than both MDX n Q7) that you dont find any need of any park assist features that the Germans carry. Also, the 4X4 of this vehicle is legendary, along with the Lexus reliability, this car is perfect Zombie proof vehicle with can go anywhere capability. Now everything is not good, there are some shortcomings like this car is like a tank, its torquey but its slow. Second, it has a bad average fuel mileage and third in 2018 this car lacks modern driver assistance technologies.

GX 460 Premium - Enjoying the Upgrade

I owned Toyota 4Runners for the past 8 years. Averaged 18-19 MPG on them. My most recent was a 2016 SR5 Premium. Although I liked my 4Runner, I felt the ride and features were pretty outdated. No LED headlights, no climate control, no BSM, so-so seats, and a pretty tippy ride. I actually liked my 2007 4Runner better. After looking at a new 2020 4Runner and realizing the equipment and looks still wasn't much different, I decided to try a 2018 GX. I am loving the smoother ride, decent acceleration, and all the luxury features and quiet comfort of a Lexus. And the lights are so much better at night. I have the certified warranty which will last me longer than a new 3 year warranty on a new 4Runner would have. But the biggest surprise is the gas mileage. I am averaging 19 MPG after 2 months. This truck will achieve 20 MPG or better on the highway and other roads if you can avoid a lot of stop and go driving. It feels a little heavier than the 4Runner which it is, but it is smoother and quiet overall. So far, so good.

* LUXURIOUS BEAST

* THIS SUV does "almost" everything well. Smooth and quiet ride, great acceleration and passing capability, looks and comfort make for a great vehicle. The one glaring flaw that I hesitate to bring light to is the cargo space when using the third row seating. You literally cannot put ANYTHING behind the third row seats. Okay, maybe a newspaper but that's even pushing it.

The car is awesome! It rides really smoothly, it’s really comfortable, and the space is perfect for what we needed it for.

2019 GX460 LEASING IT

Traded in 2016 Rang Rover Sport, Loved the RR all around, but thought I'd save a bit of money and try the Lexus. Its a bit bulky and fuel is TERRIBLE. Guzzler... Power of V-8 is weak. Has a good turning ratio for maneuvering around for parking. Interior is cozy with room, seat comfort is also ok. Heated seat/ cool seat work good. nav screen is big and pretty easy to use. I have put 1000miles so far. Nothing really on the market that didn't either have tiny back window ( and look like every other suv avail) , or was 80k price tag. So far this SUV is OK. I won't be buying another one when this lease is up.
