Used 2006 Lexus RX 400h Consumer Reviews
Great SUV
The driving experience is great. The SUV drives and handles like a car, a very comfortable one. Starting up the SUV takes some time getting used to since there no engine noise when turning the key in the ignition. The gas mileage is not quite as advertised but you still get decent gas milage for an SUV with a powerful engine. Even though we bought the model without the navigational system, the SUV comes loaded with a great amount of amenities that make this a great vehicle to own.
Value question
This is my third Lexus, but first SUV. Brought the vehicle primary for the advertised mileage of 31 mpg combined. I'm getting currently after 11,000 miles about 19.4. Most driving off freeway. Very disappointing. In addition, unlike other models, it has not kept its value. MSRP has dropped over $2,000. since I purchased it in April of 05. Inquires to Lexus have not been responded to concerning the mileage problem. Hate to say it is not worth the price.

MPG overrated
If you expect the 27-31 mpg this vehicle claims, you better not run the AC. Actual mileage for the first 500 miles=23.6 mpg. This may be OK for the rest of the country, but in SW Florida where you run the AC all the time, I recommend the regular RX330.
Outstanding
I have experienced total comfort and excellent MPR. This is such a quiet vehicle. A total joy to own. The hybrid experience is about knowing you are doing your small part to help the enviroment.
Absolutely love it!
We purchased our hybrid on 5/2/05 (ordered it last May). We absolutely love it. The interior is very modern - at first wasn't sure if I would like it - but I love it now. We also have 2 tv's for the kids - one on each headrest. We have navigation in our other Lexus so we had to have it again (it was actually a standard). There is a button on the steering wheel for voice operation - it does everything you ask it to - its a lot of fun. I mainly do all highway driving and average 25 mpg (great for a SUV)
