The best combination of comfort and performance.

The quality of this car far exceeds anything I've owned before. This car is much safer in traffic than my Rav4, the ride heigtht is better, and people respect your presence more. You need to use premium gas only, but its well worth the extra cost.

Most reliable luxury SUV ever

Had this one for 10 years. Besides regular maintenance, (and it doesn't need much) absolutely reliable. Great all around SUV. Good for road trips as well as around town. Good off road capabilities but don't go off road much. Pros: Extremely Reliable, spacious, comfortable, decent performance, Cons: Seats not very comfortable for long trips, Poor Gas Mileage, Handling tuned for comfort but not performance on curvy roads.

Fun truck (suv?) for retirement travel.

Met & asked many gx470 drivers traveling in west-northwest and all said they loved this vintage for expedition travel. The Off Roaders are a breed apart w modifieds that run with the best 4x4s. Fun to drive in town as well. Even my wife who loves her new Subaru Outback agrees, shock!

With 120k miles the car sounds and feels new

Car met all my expectations for an SUV. At 10 years old it still drives and sounds like new. A few cosmetics that can be repaired and refreshed. For daily driving and a few trips to the mountains, and having off road capability.
