2008 Lexus GX (continued)
|
|
|
Summary
The Lexus GX 470 is a good choice for buyers who want luxury, build quality and off-road capability. It's smooth and powerful on the road and can go nearly anywhere off the pavement. The cabin is trimmed in quality materials and features good ergonomic function. It's roomy and comfortable and can accommodate up to eight people when equipped with the optional third-row seat. Plus, there's the Lexus reputation for quality, durability and reliability. If your driving takes you off the pavement or deep snow is part of your annual driving, the Lexus GX 470 is an excellent choice. If fuel economy is more important, a crossover such as the Lexus RX might be a better choice.
