2008 Lexus RX 400h consumer reviews

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.
