Pros: What do you like about 2006 Lexus GX 470?
style, height and the LEXUS name of quality. Very quiet and responsive engine.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus GX 470?
add more 12 V outlets especially in the middle o two form seats and one for the rear seats.
add more water bottle holders. there are only two in front. the accord even offers more with a couple in the doors. The pockets in the door are so useless.
The music system is sooooo outdated.
The rear doors open the wrong way opposite to the curb. maybe ok in japan but in US we need it to open towards the curb for easier loading / unloading.
more storage.. even a Honda pilot offers more.

2006 Lexus GX 470 Review:
Love the style. its a little too tall so for some getting and out maybe an issue but certainly better looking than the wide body LX 470. Love it over all.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus GX 470?
More gadgets, have lighter, powersource and seasts work when the car is off. Improve A/C, car won't cool down on 90 degree day, have options to change computer settings without dealer help, improve radio: I have the upgrade and it sounds poor, install satallite radio in car so i don't have to spend $600 extra. Change back door design. have key fobs that recognize driver and have driver one and driver two settings. My suburban has more stuff on it than the lexus. i bought the car for name recognition and resale value but am a bit disappointed.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus GX 470?
upgraded stereo stinks, more bells & whistles, my loaded suburban has more options,abiltiy to change computer settings by myself instead of through the dealer. Controls for working the computer data on the steering wheel instead of dash, two seperate key fobs to indentify seperate drivers, get rid of tape deck, heated seats that allow only back or back & butt,

2006 Lexus GX 470 Review:

More storage space.

2006 Lexus GX 470 Review:
I love this truck! I just purchased a 2006 GX 470 with all of the bells and whistles. From the navigation to the mark levinson system and bluetooth functinality, this truck was designed with the busy executive in mind. I've owned the BMW X5, GMC Envoy and Infiniti FX 35, nothing compares to the Lexus GX 470!!!!!!

Lots of electrical/automatic features, like the lights, steering wheel, windshield wipers. You almost don't have to do anything except turn the wheel.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus GX 470?
They could make it more fun to drive.

2006 Lexus GX 470 Review:
Having owned a GX 470 for about a year, I can honestly say that Lexus builds great cars, and that Lexus dealerships take great care of their clients. Overall the car drives just like many other Lexi, bland steering but with a solidarity only found in a few other car makes.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Lexus GX 470?
Mark Levinson sound system; front seats, build quality, comfort and quiet. Excellent off roader in spite of all the luxury.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Lexus GX 470?
Increase the horsepower; make it more nimble. Get rid of the cassette deck! and the rear door which opens sideways.

2006 Lexus GX 470 Review:
A real surprise. The GX470 is a well built, very comfortable SUV -- I looked at the Range Rover and the BMW X5 and am glad I decided on the Lexus. Everything in the car works -- not a single issue in the first 2000 miles. True, it's not a sport sedan -- and it drives like an SUV, not a car. But it has plenty of power and handles well. I'd recommend the GX 470 to anyone looking to replace their mid size SUV.

Get rid of the tape deck. that's about it

2006 Lexus GX 470 Review:
Great truck. very happy with the purchase. The ride is very smooth and very quiet. Traded in '03 X5 4.4 and couldn't be happier. Test drove X5, Mercedes ML 350, RR Sport, and Lincoln Aviator. They just couldn't match the value of this vehicle. I recommend the sport package. Makes the interior much more attractive.
