Ride is excellent, as well as the incredible sound system! The leather trim and wood are highest quality. Instrument panel is easily readible, and handling is amazing for a larger, yet still sleak SUV. Parking is easy, and I love the rear backup camera! Love my GX 470.

Was previous owner of BMW X5. This car is better in these areas: Sound system, climate control, NAV, smoothness of ride, handling in snow, general comfort, roominess, quietness of ride, no rattles, rear camera, reliability. I liked the X5 better in: handling, braking, PDC, gas mileage, sportiness, looks, nibleness/quickness off the line. Both are good cars, but I'll take the Lexus for value and all-around usability. It tows better too because the size is better suited for it.

Comfortable ride, great handling, quiet, reliable, low maintenance. Went from a Toyota Land Cruiser (had 230,000+ miles on it at 12 years of age when our daughter totaled it) to the GX. It is just as solid and dependable as the LC, only the ride and amenities are MUCH nicer. Our vehicle is now 16years old and has 253K miles on it and going strong. it still looks great and we still receive compliments on its appearance. When we inform people of its age, they are surprised. Being so old, it does not have all the accessories to accommodate today's electronic devices. However, my hubby added an aftermarket bluetooth audio system to connect to my iphone; and we added a remote starter. She’s been incredibly reliable, comfortable, and has hauled a lot over the years. Can’t afford to replace her at the price they are now so my hope is that we’ll get at least another 50K miles out of her.

The 2004 GX 470 is a great vehicle. The handling is great. It is extremely comfortable and you can adjust the ride to make the suspension stiff or much softer for that touring feel. Our GX 470 gets an average of 18+ MPG. It is currently 4 years old and I change the oil every 5000 miles. There has been exactly 0.00 dollars in repair cost. Thats right ZERO. This vehicle is worth every penny I paid for it. It is a Lexus so you have to pay a premium for high quality.

Sweet SUV

It is the sweetest suv I've owned. Drives like a dream - smooth and rattle free after 4 years. Had to replace the motor in the sunroof after I complained it didn't work right for 3 years. Because it is so high, a little "tippy" in high winds and sharp turns they could hack off a couple of inches and not miss it. Great sound system and like the navigation system. Took out the useless 3rd row seats, and never reinstalled. Bought in early 2004 before rear camera was out, could use it for visibilty. Overall, great and reliable. I love it!
