Toyota/Lexus makes the best vehicles ever. The performance, reliability and service are in a class that no other auto maker can possibly compete with. I have an RX 330 that has 35,000 miles on it that still performs like it's brand new. I purchased a new Toyota Land Cruiser in 02 that presently has 150,000 miles on it and also feels like it is still new. I have never held on to a car that has mileage past 100,000. I will never purchase any other brand!!
Beware

This car has a terrible blind spot , making it very dangerous to back out of parking lots and other road situations. No amount of luxury can compensate for this flaw. Also, it is inconvenient for me to be able to open the trunk only with a key, since I usually have my hands full with packages and the key is buried in my purse.

Disappointed Driver

Typical Toyota high build quality and reliability but feels soul-less on the road. Front seat passengers seem to enjoy the vehicle more than I do. Rear seat passengers, aside from the low seat, also seem pleased. But behind the wheel, the steering is dull, the transmission/drivetrain seems to hesitate before doing your bidding. Normally, disappointment in the driving department is made up at the gas pump but not here where I see 16-17 MPG in the city and 20-21 on the highway. Oh well, at least with the Lexus name and good resale value I can probably get out of this vehicle for not much less than what I paid for it pre-owned.
Best Car Ever

This is the best car we ever had. You sit up high and get the SUV feel, but still get pretty much the 18/24 mpg advertised. It may be slightly under- powered for some, but that's the price of decent mileage. It has been completely reliable. The controls are ergonomic - placed logically just where they ought to be. One exception: the GPS navigation system is complex and somewhat counter-intuitive. Expect a learning curve of some weeks. The low-profile tires are more expensive than the regular kind, but they look great. I replaced them at Walmart in 2009 with top-quality for about $1,000. Groceries tend to slide in the cargo area - the "cargo net" sold as a $60 option is useless.
3 years experience - disappointing

Ladies' SUV; my wife was attracted to it by appearance; acceleration OK but tires (all 4 of them) wore out sooner than you'd expect. Trims fell off even though parked in garage most of the time. Transmission jerks even when air conditioner is off. Dealer couldn't do anything and explained as normal - give me a break. Several recalls already.
