Replying to: lisao1 (Feb 15, 2007 10:45 am) The Consomer Reports annual Car Issue just hit mail boxes yesterday. It shows the 2003, 2004, and 2005 LX with worse, to far worse than average suspension problems. Most everything else gets very high ratings with an overal "better than average" rating. |

Replying to: hottoyofan (Mar 01, 2007 9:50 pm) The question is not if there will be a new Landcruiser, the question is whether they volumes sold in the US will justify the launch in North America. I also strongly believe that Lexus will always offer a full-size SUV. It maybe based on the new Landcruiser or based on the new Sequoia.

On a recent trip South on I-95 and cruising at a steady pace of 70 miles per hour, using the speed control as much as I could , traffic is pretty heavy most of the time plus now we can add the influx of Bike Week. My MPG was slightly over 20 miles , exactly 20.2 mpg with premium gas. I would love to see Lexus use the new Tundra engine the 5.7L on the LX , I would be in line to purchase one. Perhaps Lexus could add a couple of vibrant exterior and interior colors to their dull line-up . Lou |

Replying to: sidgriggs (Mar 08, 2007 5:28 am) I don't have an answer . I drive conservative some times and aggressive other times. The last 8 or 10 tanks of gas had very good mpg. This last round trip ( last tank ) mileage was 406 miles , I filled the tank with a little over 20 gallons. Stop filling till the second click. The tires pressure are closed to 40psi , also I used Castor synthetic motor oil , the odometer reads 11,700 miles, I get oil and filter changed around 3500 miles. The lowest mpg around the city is either 16 or 17 or 18 . I have made no changes to the LX. Out of the ordinary one time accidentally I filled the tank with regular gas. The air tire sensor came up , because the spare tire had low air pressure. Lou |

Replying to: luckylou (Mar 08, 2007 1:39 am) I have gotten over 18 MPG in my 2002 Land Crusier at about 65 to 70 miles an hour on highway with moderate load. My 2002 Landcruiser has a four speed automatic. Since your vehicle has the VVTI engine and 5 speed auto, I am sure this is possible as the engine will be running at a lower rpm than mine at 70 miles an hour.

Replying to: mercara (Mar 09, 2007 9:03 pm) I don't understand it , I am not an auto mechanic I am just a regular block. I don't use Citgo gas . Normally Sunoco or Shell premium gas. While I am using the speed control and if I need to press the brake pedal, I quickly disengage it , otherwise the LX will quickly accelerate burning gas faster to go back to the previous speed instead I use my foot to slowly bring it up to speed. I owned a 2003 Land Cruiser for three years till I bought the 2006 LX470 . The LC never gave me 20 mpg, normally 18 or 17 with regular gas. The last few months I have been waiting for the Tundra to arrive I test drove a DC , 4X4 , with the 5.7 L engine , WOW WOW awesome vehicle . But while reading several forums including Edmunds I found out that a new LX is coming out either for 2008 or 2009 with the 5.7 L engine. I might indulge myself again and wait for the new LX. Lou |

| Since October my 2006 GX has had the brakes go out on three different times. First was after a service and service department said must have been an air bubble so they bled them,told me that took care of the problem. A month later ,again in a emergency situation, they failed again almost causing a second collision.This time it was suppose to be the master and slave cylinders which they replace and assured me it was fixed.Two and half weeks ago it happened again,no brakes, and this time they said it was the shims and replaced them.Now I refuse to drive it and the dealership and Lexus refuse to do anything.Now I have a 60,000.00 vehicle that I cant drive.Has anyone else had this problem? I will never buy another Lexus. | |
