What a car!

I've never cared much for cars, but this one has changed my mind. It has such a solid, safe feel to it. It looks like a van that took steroids and not the typical monster SUV. It certainly drives better than any van or car I've ever driven and it is actually fun to drive it!The ride is as smooth as glass. This car doesn't know it is going up steep hills either. It eats them. The gas engine cuts out at lights and in traffic, and while this took a bit of getting used to-the silence makes it seem as though it has stalled- I feel better about the car not spewing unecessary gas into the atmosphere.

Not the mileage that was promised

Although the 400h is very comfortable and fun to drive it, is not as promised as far as the mileage is concerned. I'm getting 21 miles a gallon and I do mostly city driving. I use my car for work that's why I got a hybrid to save money. Unless they correct this I would not recommend if your goal is to save on gas.

My new Lexus 400h

My brand new Lexus 400h is an exciting car to own and drive. Having the GPS system is like having a friend along for the ride. She never gets frustrated with my choice of turns, just picks up from my new location. The pick-up at acceleration makes it exciting to drive. Watching the trickle use of energy has made me a better driver, as far as how I use the accelerator. I can actually affect the mileage in my favor. This car handles like a dream, a big improvement from my RX 300,2000.

So far so good

Great car and fun to drive. Don't buy it if you are simply focused on gas mileage. My average after 3 months of regular driving is 24.2 MPG. Great for SUV but does not compare to Prius. Price tag is high but if you like gadgets this is the car for you.

It is quiet, like driving a big sofa, and quick-handling and powerful when you need it. Handles and corners well, with a very good turning radius. It is fun to drive and all of the controls and panel operations are intuitive and easy to use. The in-city mpg is more like 26 than the 31 advertised.
