Default So, after a few months of driving my 2013...

I have to say, I'm loving it.

Like a lot of people, when I first got the car and test drove it, I thought it was a big slow box. But you know what, once you know how to control the rev range, it is actually pretty peppy. I also thought it was going to be too high up, but surprisingly, it actually has a great view and I can see my car in a big parking lot full of cars because it is so tall.

All in all, best features I found, but really didn't care for initially is the keyless entry. Just put your hand the door handle, voila! it opens, tap it twice to lock it. It's been great not having to get the key out of my pocket.

Anyways, just wanted to let you guys know I'm pretty happy so far with the GX460.

And, I got a great deal too so that puts a bigger smile on my face! Wasn't going to wait for the LEDs in the 2014 because I know I would have to pay a couple thousand more because dealers never lower the price on newer vehicles especially after a slight redesign. I'd have to wait another year.

You only have to tap it once!

I am surprised you like it that much considering your other SUV is a Cayenne. They are so different, apples and oranges really, and if you are used to one type of vehicle it can sometimes make the other type not as appealing.

To me, an SUV has a purpose. You won't be able to figure out if a Cayenne is a sports car or an SUV. It doesn't do either well. Don't get me wrong, its a great car, but I'm not sure of the long-term reliability and costs with it.
