First, Voice activation system should be obsolete. This system is completely useless. Check out Acura(honda) on how voice activation should work. Second, While driving restrictions completely handcuff with this vehicle. While I agree with this in principle there needs to be changes. Third, Slight hesitation and "bucking" when coming to a stop. Can't explain it and Lexus has no answer for it. Fourth, Design is too similiar to older vehicles. My fault. I should have went with the X5 Fifth, MPG is horrible. I only use 91+ gasoline and i am averaging 13.8 mpg on highway and streets. If I could do it all over again would choose an 2007 X5.

| I average 17.0 mpg in my 07 GX around here on the California central coast. While driving it across country this past June, I averaged 19.5 mpg while doing 75 mph through Nebraska. I also got 418 miles to a tank of fuel. Of course it took 21.8 gallons to fill the tank. I figure the average miles per gallon by taking miles traveled and dividing it by the amount of fuel it takes to fill the tank. The onboard mpg computer likes to be optimistic. Than again, I've yet to see any manufacturer with an accurate mpg computer on their vehicle. | |

Wow - I'm stunned by these posts. I just joined and read these posts & am stunned by the mpg figures on the newer 470GX's. I drive my 03 (107K miles) to work daily on Calif freeways, and routinely get 20-21 mpg at 70 mph - one person no load, and on regular gas! I can actually slow it down and get up to 25 mpg on my 35 mile one way commute. It has been a great car for me and the grandkids - only compaint I have is that the 90K mile checkup - they advise a timing belt replacement - $2500 - ouch. I can't believe this big SUV doesn't have a metal timing belt. All the Toyota's and Lexus' recommend the regular gas. I broke mine in that way and only use premium if I 've got a load going into the mountains. Maybe the best deal is to find a low mileage older GX470 rather than a new one. |

| With 46,000 miles logged, I average 15-16 mpg overall all on regular gas. Can I really get excited about a cross-over that average 19-20 mpg without true 4wd performance. What to do when my lease expires in January. | |
|
Yep - that's the lease delema. I knew I would be driving too many miles - so I bit the bullet and bought mine. I will end up passing it on to one of my kids anyway. I put 200K miles on my Jeep Grand Cherokee, and then passed it on. good luck |
