Default My first SUV

Just purchased my 2015 GX 460 (Premium Package) Black on black three days ago. My 2005 LS 430 with 237K miles got totaled as some one backed in to my vehicle. I was debating between another LS (CPO) but decided to go with new GX 460. Never owned an SUV before.

Hopefully, it would be reliable as my old LS which had only one repair ($600 rear wheel bearing)

Congrats! I personally like the higher viewing angle afforded by the SUV.

Apparently the '15 GX460 tested to be quieter (inside) than the LS!

Congrats!

As we are getting older we are finding SUVs much more comfortable. Sedans have become like sitting on the ground.

I am sure you will love it!

Sfuad , I think you're gonna enjoy the new GX. We purchased a new 2015 in Dec. and we love it. My wife has a new IS350 Fsport and I'll take the GX any day over her car..... B.T.W. we're kind of neighbors I'm down in Clay county. Take care....

Thanks everyone for your responses. Its one week now and I am enjoying it. What I like the most, it is ultra quite. Feels heavy not like RX, yet good low end torque.

How does the quietness compare with the LS?
I had a 2001 LS430 and it was tomb-like.

I love my GX btw.

Just sold 2012 LS and purchased the GX 460 Luxury version. It has the adaptive variable suspension and he rear self leveling suspension. It is quiet and rides very smooth on smooth open highway, but in no way does it compare to the LS when on country roads or main highways that are not well maintained. However, this should be expected as it is built on a truck frame.
