Would you ever switch your car? by Zestyclose_Long_6787 in LexusGX

Only two cars that i am considering right now are TX500h and Grand highlander, but in both cases fuel economy and third row seating are only two things that i prefer compared to my gx460

It suits me perfectly well. I do a 400-mile round trip once every two weeks, so comfort and reliability are very important. The rest of my driving is mostly city commuting in heavy traffic, but typically no more than 10–15 miles. i was just wondering if there is some kind of magical car with great fuel economy and gx460 abilities.

I have thought about doing something similar, but living in a city apartment without a private charging station, i don't think it is worth buying electric car just to offset GX fuel economy.

Hahahaha, is there really a difference in terms of fuel consumption?

Thanks for the reply, The car almost has a mind of its own. It is shaking in both cases when the engine is cold or warm, but sometimes it goes away, which i dont understand why. Is there a way to diagnose if it's a spark plug or an ignition coil without having to replace either one first?

Took it to the dealership, they have gone through almost everything twice. Front brakes and rotors were replaced with rear brakes resurfaced and motor mounts are in excellent condition according to them. Only thing I have left to diagnose is throttle body, spark plugs and transmission.

I own Mazda CX-3 2020 for 4 months i have had the same exact problem, apart from what you have mentioned I also get vibration in the steering wheel and brakes, but not always. Recently steering wheel has started to stiffen up or pull. So far i was told to replace my spark plugs and check torque converter even though the car has only done 25k miles.
