Just bought our first Lexus for retirement travel and cannot believe the 44 mpg and the power in sports mode. I have a Toyota Tundra 2018 that cost $70+ to fill up to travel 500+ miles. The Lexus cost $35 to fill up and travel 450+. I have fun driving and saving money! This is the best hybrid in a luxury class!

I have owned multiple Hybrids and Multiple EVs. After 4 years on a model 3 Long Range l, i decided to move on for practical reasons but honestly, the overall brand That leadership had created no longer match my values. Two years inro my ownership there continues to be no comparison when you compare the Luxury and finish of the 300h to the M3. The ride is smooth and the torque on sport mode is not to shabby. I was getting 45-47 MPG when I first purchased the car but since writing the original review getting more 43 MPG but I think that's based on where I am.driving more than a degradation in MPG I like the tech in the 300H and while the M3 has more bells and whistles as far as some of the useless tech ( netflix), the constant updates and changes to the UI are actually confusing. Also, when I saw all those poor Tesla owners having their cars towed During the height of winter, it reinforces my theory that the battery tech in the infrastructure still is not there Even with the Tesla supercharge network, I always got nervous about what would happen if something mechanical happened to the car while on a long trip your options are really limited in terms of getting the vehicle fixed Because even when I had a minor issue in my home area, I was waiting 2 to 3 weeks just to get An appointment. I can only imagine what might happen if I was two or three hours away from my home. . Unlike the M3 Tesla M3 Lexus is real refined luxury and refined finish.By the way no unexpected service costs and I can safely say 2 years into my original review still 5 stars. I do believe once the infrastructure is built out I will go back to an EV, but I will never ever buy a Tesla again.

Didn't buy it because....

As a Lexus owner for the past 30 years, I was ready and willing to buy my 3rd, a 2020 ES350h sedan. While I liked the car's styling, ride quality and pricing two big flaws in its interior design kept me from buying it: (1) The interior navigation screen is just stuck onto the top of the dash, rather than integrated into it (as is the case with every other car in this class). Worse than its appearance was that the screen is not hooded or shaded in any way so that the outside light coming through the windshield directly behind the screen makes the screen difficult to see. (2) The touch pad controller, which is the only way to interface manually with the car's electronics was terrible -- worse than every reviewer says it is. Although the input sensitivity of the touch pad has 2 customizable settings other than standard, the interface experience remained very "twitchy" and difficult to use even at the least sensitive setting and even after I spent 1/2 hour in the parked car working with it. I would hate to have to use this while driving. I'm was unhappily surprised -- Lexus has been building luxury cars long enough to know better.
Luxury with poor assembly

Pros include the fuel economy, regardless the driving mode, the super comfy seats, and the smooth ride. The greatest con is the surprisingly poor assembly, interior panels crackling, rattling (seat belt fastener, roof carpet, electric cable under the seats hitting the air panel for rear seats, panels under the passenger side leg area, also something deep under the dash, front top speakers rattling, too, cockpit cover further sides not fixed, rattling… incredibly loud wind noise from the top glass. Very disappointing.
Quick and sassy
