"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."

"I have owned BMW's before and do miss the car. This is a very nice vehicle but over priced. I do not like the back up system video, I prefer the sensors on front and rear bumpers. Also it did not come with a keyless entry. I am getting about 26.4 mixed gas mileage. I wanted to go GREEN on any vehicle that I purchased."

"First and foremost, it's a Lexus. The quality, performance and design are fantastic. However the mileage falls well short of the advertised government MPG rating. We get at best 23-24 MPG which is well short of the 29-30 MPG. If you're buying a hybrid SUV to save money on fuel, don't buy this one. Get a Ford Escape Hybrid instead. If you're buying this car to own a high quality luxury SUV that's eco-friendly with ultra low emissions and great performance, gadgets, styling and quality, this is your car."

"We have four Lexus in our family. The first one (which we still own) is the 1992 LS. Then two LX470, one more LS 400. This addition is another great innovative car from the Lexus Family. Hybrid is the green way to go. And it's go great safety features."
