"I owned a Lexus LX450 in 1997 thru 2001 until my wife totalled it out and in 2012 I had to get another one because no one makes a better, tougher, good riding, reliable 4WD. I wouldn't have any other 4WD SUV."

"I can haul anything thanks to the foldable 2nd & 3rd row seats... LX450 beast can accommodate at least 2 babies with their carseats/trollers, including their respective moms and dads, 1 toddler, and their belongings! In congested roads, the LX450 gets right of the way without feeling being squeezed between lanes. I just traded-in my sedan bimmer in order to get the LX450. It is gas-thristy beast but with regular unleaded fuel you do not feel the pinch as the Land Rover Discovery owners who have to deal w/Premium unleaded fuel costs!"

"I've owned mine for nine years now. It is a solid built vehicle, though pricey. I bought mine because I wanted the in-line engine with a timing chain that will last practically forever and low rpm with good torque. I recommend buying this vehicle with locking differentials because if you plan on off-roading there is a good chance of being stuck. This is where the lockers com into play; it is nice to use in deep snow! The only draw back is that it is a gas guzzler, it's a heavy vehicle. I also wish that it had more cup holders too. I owned another 4x4 too and this has a much better 4x4 system."

"I bought my '97 in '07, w/256K miles on it. Just finished a year and 12K miles. Reliable -- needed headlight connectors replaced, cost $7. I changed all fluids, filters, that's all. My '88 Land Cruiser went 260K, then got totaled :-(. The '97 is quieter, smoother, more comfortable. Bulletproof, it seems. AWD sticks better than the '88's 4WD. A bargain considering what a new, similar-sized car costs -- I would have bought a new Honda CR-V $25K or Pilot $37K, but the Lexus for $10K is much more satisfying, and will last another decade easily. I love it."

"The solid front axle leads to a less comfortable ride than a modern independent front suspension. The 212hp straight-six could use a little more power to move this heavy vehicle. The brakes are merely adequate. It's performs well off road."

"If you are looking for an SUV that all you need is Gas, Tires, Brake pads and no electronics this is it. I owned many many cars from Mercedes, Audi, BMW and other but the LEXUS is in a league on is own...THE MOST REALIABLE CAR EVER....That why many many off road/safari/war zone lovers always look for this incredible Model and year...because they are BULLET PROOF 300k 400k no problem and the Lexus is just an extra nice compared to the Toyota Land Cruiser. They exactly the same car only the Lexus comes with allots of extras."
