I have had issues with the air suspension, catalytic converter, info tainment center, and now I have a collapsed lifter and will have to pay $4600 to have the engine ripped in half to replace all the lifters and have the piston milled at a machine shop. :(. Its such a nice car but at 134,000 miles almost all of that has been this year.

I'll cut to the chase: 18 MPG AVG for me, iPhone 3G pairs easily and Bluetooth works great; kids can watch and listen to movie with included Bluetooth headphones - while parents listen to 6-disc CDs/XM; rear console A/V jacks keeps cable out of sight when hooking up to iPhone or 111 game Nintendo knock-off or PSP; exterior styling says, "yeah, I gettin moneh" as well as prompts jealous onlookers. I own a Prius and used to buy japanese cars exclusively - but not anymore! I'm 33 y/o and I rock (and I thank God/Allah/Yaweh - whoever is responsible for giving me what I have - if he/she really exists).

Are you seriously stupid?

WHAT THE HELL did I get myself into? I should have bought a Mercedes Benz or Land Rover Rang Rover HSE! The quality management of this car is horrific, the navigation/cd player unit is useless most of the time due to its horrific functionality: every day I choose a new station it needs to scan the stations again and again and again the navigation is SLOW. I'll press buttons and wait up to 10 seconds until anything happens, and when it does, it'll happen all wrong. I went over a bump, and the plastic under carriage clip broke off and the INTERIOR wood trimming in the rear snapped of since it's a CLIP ON! The DVD unit takes such a long time to start if you've turned off the car so.

Huge Mistake

My husband wanted this car and we traded in our Lexus GX for it. I should have know something when they rushed to take our Lexus. It looks great on the outside, causing accidents when I drive from people looking so hard. Cheaply made bumper (bumped while parked by a car slowing coming out park) and broke clips and bumper. Seat belts are flimsy (my kids as well as myself struggle to buckle in). We are currently trading it in and it has lost so much value the last year (over 10 thousand). Factory Remote start works when it feels like it. I have to push button several times unless I am right next to it. Who needs it then. Don't listen when they tell you that this car can take regular.

Don't buy in 2025

I bought this in 2024 with 10100 miles. For the first 6 months 3 months it was fine. Then we started having all these problems 1. Hybrid battery which we bought another one 2 transmission got it rebuild 3 fuel pump 4 sensor 5 motor mount. I have spent 5k since I bought it. Then people tell you parts have been discontinued so you have to get stuff off a tahoe hybrid to make it work. I would have a second car if you were to buy. It is good on gas and got a smooth drive I wish they didn't stop making the parts.
