2006 Lexus RX 400h consumer reviews

I have no idea why all of you are so excited about this cars handling; the thing starts doing 360's on every corner. It skids when you give gas and the brakes do not work. Only perk is gas mileage and interior is not bad for a 2006 car. It sounds like a whining whale too, if you're an enthusiast don't even consider this.

Other than my jaguar which is a totally different type of car this is my favorite car ever!!! It is fun to drive, versatile and low maintenance with plenty of pick up. Shop the price hard there is a wide range of price out there on the same vehicle!

I bought it @85000miles now @140000,no problem.Oil change brakes pad change.nothing much. is good buy ..keep going...2006 model in 2015.runs like new.looks like new.

This car is amazing. Toyota continues to be the leader in quality for me. 188,000 miles and nothing but oil changes, battery and tires. Everything still works. Only issue has been the dashboard cracking and now they are having it replaced at no charge. Way to go Lexus!

We hardly ever have to buy Nasty Gasoline! We have had this car for years and it has been problem FREE! We love it! We love it's Looks! We just wish there were More Lexus Dealers!!

I have owned a 2006 Lexus hybrid SUV, RX400h since purchasing it new in 2006. I have had no problems at all, except having to change the battery and the tires. It is smooth, fast, reliable and efficient! It is great to not burn gas sitting at a stoplight since the engine shuts off when it is not needed. Overall I get 25-26 mpg in the city. And I have hauled everything in it, from camping gear for weeklong trips to 2 tons of stone for backyard projects.

We love our Lexus RX 400h! The nav works great and we especially like the easy-to-use touch screen! The power lift gate is very useful when our hands our full and the LED tail lights make the car look very nice. The xenon headlights that swivel around corners make it a lot easier to see at night and the overall styling is very unique. We only see a few of these around town and I'm sure you would be the only one in your neighborhood with one if you bought one! We average 27 highway/ 30 city so if you are worried about getting bad gas mileage there is no need to worry.

I recently purchased my 400h after doing a lot of research and am very pleased with it so far. I'm getting about 26mpg consistantly which isn't bad for a car this size and quality. I'm not totally satisfied with the navigation system, not very intuitive at all and having to pay $200 to update the maps is really cheap on Lexus' part, but other than that I am very glad I purchased a used 2006 400h. It's a very comfortable car with plenty of room.

This car is comfortable, i.e. lumbar seats! plus gets terrific mileage in city with hybrid electric/gas engine. Gas engine does not even go into play with stop and go traffic in city! 28mpg city/traffic, only 22 mpg highway. Heavy, sturdy, super quiet engine...can't even tell it's running so quiet. Great car, seems very well built, and as a Toyota product you know it will last a couple hundred thousand miles minimum.

I bought my 2006 RX 400h in Dec 2011. Right after purchasing the car, I took it to Lexus dealership for recall services, which was free of charge plus free loaner car. They also performed safety inspection and hybrid inspection, all free of charge. No major issue was detected, and the vehicle seems it was well maintained. I drive my 2001 Saab 9-5 2.3T week days, and drive 400h on weekends. I've put about 1500 miles in 2 months, mostly on local roads. I'm still observing MPG and its performance. Here's what I found out so far. 400h actually gets more MPG on highway than local roads. I got 23.0 MPG so far, which isn't bad for AWD SUV, but far less than what's claimed by Lexus. I do, however, expect the number will increase as winter gets out of the way. Every time I enter the vehicle, I smell this unpleasing scent; it gets better as I drive although never goes away completely. I assume that's the smell from hybrid battery, which seats right underneath back-seats. I think the scent rises into the cabin thru ventilation window for cooling the battery, located under the back-seats. 400h looks great and runs great. Although I'm somewhat disappointed with MPG, the car still makes me very satisfied. Just as Cars and Drivers said, RX model is a golden retriever of SUV. 2006 RX 330 w/ 80g is around $17,000. 2006 RX 400h w/ 80g is around $19,000. I'd recommend spending $2000 more for h series.
