Great combination of style and economy

Very nice vehicle: leather seats, moon roof, fancy controls, sound system is great, quiet ride, hybrid so it gets 36 mpg, Toyota engineering and reliability. What's not to like?!

Why wasn't this car a huge commercial success?

Car critics were afraid to love this car when it came out and nitpicked at alleged shortcomings rather than risk straying from the flock. Ten years later, those who bought the car feel vindicated. At 115k miles, the car feels like new. It is such a comfortable drive for a mid-sized person. My girlfriend and I recently made a 1,000 mile drive and could not have done so if it weren't so comfortable. Gas mileage (regular gas!) is consistently 36 summer/32 winter. I admit that the grille is less than classic, and the trunk could be larger, but I don't think there is a better value small luxury car available.

Trouble free and not a Prius

This car is a great trade off for a Prius . But offer same reliability. Way nicer, no stigma , great mileage and big 4cylinder engine for going fast if you want to...unlike a Prius.

Love this car! Very reliable. GReat condition.

This car met all of my needs. I have not any problems with it. The only reason I am selling is because I need an SUV to tow a trailer.

Comfortable and Stylish

This is my first Lexus, so I know Im comparing apples to oranges here. My last two vehicles were a 2012 Nissan Leaf which I liked the tech and everything I just could not go anywhere. My previous car was a 2010 VW Jetta. I liked the Jetta but the fuel economy was not great since it was a 5 cylinder model, also was getting high up in mileage I had 116,000 miles on the Jetta and I was not going to wait until a massive repair was required to get a new vehicle. The Lexus is amazing. The ride is very smooth, power is decent, I had driven a prius a few years ago and it felt very underpowered, but this is actually pretty peppy. Ive been getting 32mpg average with a pretty aggressive foot, which is about double the Jetta so I am pretty happy with that. This car is so rare that some people are perplexed as to what it is. Some people actually think it is a brand new Lexus, even though it is 9 years old. Loving it so far though.

Not impressed

Coming from Lexus, I would have expected much higher standards. The drive is hard and comparable to a Civic. While I think gas consumption is decent, the hybrid system is not reliable, specially in cold weather. I was stranded a couple of times because of the hybrid system malfunction (in frigid conditions). I much rather prefer my 07 ES350. The console, while impressive, is not very useful, the track mouse causes a lot of distraction when driving.
