Exceptional (but not great) luxury hybrid

Great car, though the mileage is not as good as advertised. Handles well, with enough speed and pick up that you can't tell it's a hybrid. Exterior styling is nice. There should be tire options (size, grip) given that this is an SUV. Interior is functional, though the ergonomics and comfort of the drivers seat is somewhat limited for individuals over 6'. GPS, Bluetooth and electronics intuitive and easy to use. Outstanding sound system! Overall a good driving experience in a good-looking, reliable SUV. Recommend shopping dealers. Price is usually consistent, however trade-in values vary significantly.

a joy to drive

in the last year i bought a subaru outback which i traded in on a toyota highlander because the subaru handled like an out of control baby buggy and it scared me when turning and hitting a bump it went wild so i traded it for a highlander which rode better but had a bad case of the side to side jiggles so i traded it for the lexus RX400H and finnaly got the perfect car ride handling and comfort all excellent a joy to drive

Nicest Car I've Owned!

I purchased this vehicle in Jan ?07 and only have 1,000 miles on it, but so far I absolutely love everything about this car. I have the 2007 AWD with Nav and so far I have been very impressed with how quiet the vehicle is, how well it handles, and most of all how quickly this car accelerates! I have always been philosophically opposed to SUVs due to the high fuel consumption and excessive pollution. But I have always thought the RX series by Lexus was the most attractive SUV on the market. So I was delighted when the hybrid RX400h was released. I now get the same gas mileage as my all gas cars and have the added benefit of driving a Super Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV). I did test drive the Toyota Highlander, and although these cars are sister vehicles (both built on a modified Camry frame), there was a noticeable refinement in the quality and performance of the Lexus (there is no question that the Highlander is an excellent vehicle!!). For me it was simply a personal decision to go with the Lexus (also the service & treatment I received at Lexus was far superior to what I got at Toyota - and customer service does make a difference to me). Anyway, I have been very impressed with all of the features. The navigation system is terrific. I originally thought that I might not use this too much, but now I find myself using it all the time. I no longer carry maps in my car! The Mark Levinson sound system is terrific and the interior fit and finish are superb. My only very minor complaint is that the car does not come with the "smart key" system that is found on some other Toyota cars (like Prius and Camry). Other than that, the car is loaded with creature comforts. As for mileage, I have been averaging right around 26.5 MPG. It has been very cold since I purchased the vehicle and while I am quite happy with this mileage, I expect it to go up in the warmer months. On the highway I get 28 MPG if I keep the car between 60-65 MPH. Mileage drops to 25.5 to 26.0 MPG between 70-75 MPH. Note that this car is designed for performance, not fuel economy. You should not consider buying this car if your main goal is to save money on gas (buy a Prius instead). But if you are conscientious about the environment and still want to drive an awesome, high performance vehicle that gets the same gas mileage as a car, then this a tremendous vehicle.

One of the most fuel eficent SUVs ever!

I like this car! I like verything about it; the seating, Bluetooth, Backup Camera, and more! But the thing I like the most about this car is that this car is a Hybrid! I would highly recommend this SUV for Hybrid lovers!
