Replying to: bmlexus (May 17, 2008 1:54 pm) thanks, I have seen a few on the streets here in Houston. Why didn't you post your experience its been a long time. I don't visit this site much, it is pretty quiet. I tried to like the lx570 recently but its just to big for me and the price. The price is big but the size doesn't seem much larger than my 470. I noticed this right away on my test drive. Does it feel very big while driving and parking. It turns sharper than my 470, the parking assists and back up camera are a big help. Now the Sequoia I drove, that's BIG Is it fast enough? Is it comfortable enough? I tried "S" mode shifting yesterday, wow, too fast for an old geezer. If you rated my wife's LS 430 ride as a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10, and my old 470 ride as a 3, my new 570 would rate a 7. how good is the driving seat. Much more side bolster support than my 470, even my wife notices the improved seats and ride. Do tell how you feel while driving in detail. I feel very fortunate to have this SUV, my wife says I deserve it. I am very nervous in parking lots, I hate door dings. What a great birthday present what color did you choose. Mercury Metallic with a gray interior. I initially ordered a Royal Spinel but changed after I saw one, beautiful but too flashy for me. thanks. You're welcome, I suggest a test drive if you have not tried one.

Replying to: mikeivan (May 17, 2008 2:36 pm) Is there any other site where its not as quite? Well I drive my dad land cruiser sometimes which I always felt is very big for me. I keep thinking whats the point of getting such a big car if your single ! Sequoia I drove, that's BIG Thats a huge car. I tried "S" mode shifting yesterday, wow, too fast for an old geezer. If you rated my wife's LS 430 ride as a 9 on a scale of 1 to 10, and my old 470 ride as a 3, my new 570 would rate a 7. So it means as far as ride is concern not up to the LS standard well of course its suv after all it can't be as good as a sedan. Much more side bolster support than my 470, even my wife notices the improved seats and ride\ Thats a plus point for seats. U can't buy a car unless the seats are not comfortable enough for you. |

Replying to: mikeivan (May 17, 2008 2:36 pm) You should be fortunate its a great engineering from lexus its an all weather suv in times of trouble dusty rain snow thunderstorm. Its also very safe 10 air bags I think. Yes i guess this is a very very big suv to park especially in small places. I did not test drive it I did sit inside 3 times. I tried to say to myself its not to big but it is. Well at least for me it is. I am interested in bmw suv which is not so huge but I am scared with their reliability electronics issue which I have read several times. For that reason only because I trust lexus engineering and reliability and built in japan i might end getting the small RX which I personally dont like the looks much and its getting really old but I can at least trust the quality. I want to wait for the new RX but it wont be here till late next year. So I guess there will be no lx after all maybe sometime in the future. Do post sometimes about your experience. thanks. |

My apology if this should be posted somewhere else. For those of you who have driven both the Lexus LX and Toyota Sequoia, would you provide some feedbacks on both? Due to family size, I'm looking for a vehicle that has at least 7 seats. A minivan is a smart choice, but I just can't imagine myself being a "soccer dad" (not that there is anything wrong with it, just personal preference). The new Sequoia is quite roomy with great power, reliability, and price. I haven't had a chance to drive the LX, but I definitely love the toys, style, and the brand image. The only possible drawback on the LX is the limited cargo space. Just my guess. I haven't driven one, so I can't say much on this.

Replying to: kiiwii (Sep 01, 2008 3:12 pm) You might also want to include the Landcruiser in the mix as it is almost identical to the LX but costs quite a bit less, plus I was offered an 08 at a big discount. About $12,000. off of msrp. No discounts, in my area on the LX. Happy hunting.

Replying to: mikeivan (May 17, 2008 2:36 pm) You are the only LX570 owner that I know of on the net. I was just wondering hows your LX. Long time no post, be sure to tell me where you post your experience, I'd want to read them. Btw, I still haven't got a new car, but my uncle did, the same as yours, the new LX570 white color. As I mentioned before I was, and still am interested in the X6, but because of issues i could end up getting the new RX. Lets see. I hope to get your reply. TC. |
