2013 Long Term Review - 55,000 miles

This has been a great car. My overall gas mileage for 55,000 miles is 46.5 mpg. The car is extremely reliable and the only warranty repair I had was replacement of the AC blower because the bearings went bad. It is the equivalent of a mini suv when the back seats are down. The only limitation is the navigation system. It is difficult to use and intrusive. My I-Phone navigation system is much better and more up to date. Lexus is discontinuing the model after 2017 which is too bad because it is a reasonably priced, good hybrid car.

Fun to drive

This car is actually very slow. But it feels really fast! Perhaps because it is low to the grown and the suspension and steering is sport tuned. It is a very fun car to drive. Handles well. Cargo space is extremly limited and the tech package is out of date.

I got this vehicle on August 2nd. The day after I got it to check engine light came on. A week after I got it it made a noise, and five warning lights came on including the hybrid system light. I took it back to the dealer and they quote unquote fixed it. The day after I picked it up the check engine light came back on. A week later, the hybrid system light is on again.It is currently at the selling dealer, they say it is under a 90-day warranty so hopefully they can fix it.

Most reliable car I've ever owned

Bought my '2013 in '2014 with 13k miles. I now have 143k miles and I've NEVER been to the dealership. I do all my own maintenance. I had 2 issues that I fixed. The first was the power door lock motor; replaced for $13. The second was the A/C controller; replaced for $35 (eBay). The trunk is small but I was able to get both my Doberman and Pitbull in the back for a short drive to the park. I added a trailer hitch/lighting and towed a 5X8 trailer with my parent's dining room set from NJ to TN. I towed the same size trailer to move items locally. Brakes lasted 111k miles. They probably would have lasted longer if I didn't tow but I'm not complaining. Will I win any races? Yes! I actually beat an M5 in the quarter mile! It was bumper to bumper traffic but that's NJ rush hour!

Had the car for 3 years. Had it serviced as scheduled. The brake actuator and the main battery failed at the same time. 9000 dollars to repair. I'll never buy a hybrid vehicle again.
