"I was a little apprehensive at first. But once I took the plunge and purchased my first Luxury car, I have no regrets! I love my 2008 Lexus Rx 400h. The drive is so smooth and has all the features that I need. Awesome SUV for a busy mom that is always on the go! Love it!"

"For many years, I considered buying a more expensive car and could not decide on the brand. In 2006, my family bought a RX400h Lexus hybrid and then bought several more with the last one being a 2008 RX 400h Hybrid. What a wonderful car...in all features to be considered plus good mpg. I feel safe, comfortable, proud, etc, etc. I want to buy a RX 450h next."

"I bought my all wheel drive 400h used with about 36,000 miles on it. I LOVE it! Great acceleration, great power, with my 75 mile mixed route of highway, city and side roads I get about 29.1 mpg. I traded my 2 wheel drive 04' Cadillac SRX. I love my Lexus. I have owned it for three months, it is solid. My only little complaint is that the handling is a little soft or tippy (compared to my SRX), and the road noise is a little high (of course the engine is quiet and sometimes the engine is OFF because of running on the battery) so there is no engine to mask the outside noise."

"This is a comfortable car for a 6'3" person -- something seldom found in other vehicles of this type. Excellent gas mileage -- almost as advertised on the sticker. Great cabin electronics -- easy to operate. Excellent (smooth) breaking. The personalized service that is provided by the dealership is beyond anything previously experienced at other dealerships.High road noise coming from rear of car. Remote garage door / gate openers require special attention to program."

"I was able to find a 2 year old car with only 14000 miles. The mpg is fair for a hybrid but good for an SUV - Around 28-30. There are nice and over the top amenities (Nice - precipation sensitive wipers, Over the top - wipers for the head lights). Overall not much more comfortable than my previous Saturn SUV - also with heated leather seats and moon roof. I am hoping that I am am going to get my money back with the extended certified pre-owned warranty and legendary Lexus reliabilty."

"From 1984 until 2008 I have always owned Honda's so when it came time to buy my next car I was sold on the Acura MDX - until I drove the Lexus 400h at my husbands request. The car was so quiet and so smooth. The fit and finish were flawless. The handling superb. It does not have the sports car feel of the MDX but it will save you on money on gas without scrimping on luxury and reliability. We are averaging 27 mpg in a cross between highway and city driving, not bad for an SUV. The touch screen nav system is easy to use, no knobs to fuss with. The only negative is I wish the sound system was a little more up to par with the rest of the car."
