I was looking for SUV hybrid that was reliable and affordable so not to break the bank. I found it in this used vehicle which meets my needs in safety, reliability, comfort, low miles for a 10 year old model, and it looks as good as newer SUVs in the market. That said, I am not so crazy about the fuel ecomy which online boasts impressive 28 city/32 highway mpg, while I haven’t gotten above 24.5 average city:highway, and seems misleading. The navigation is a bit wonky as arrow and roads on screen tracking vehicle’s direction is at times upside down, sideways, all over the place without seeming logical nor driver friendly, and a bit cumbersome to use. The Bluetooth while it works for calls, doesn’t project directions from phone through SUV speakers when using other gps like google maps, Waze app, etc, leaving me to rely on cell phone speakers for directions. To be fair it’s what I would expect from dated technology. Overall, however, I love this ride for all it’s other features, design, handling and styling one would expect from a quality luxury vehicle.

Great Car with even greater maintenance cost

Got my 2007 Lexus RX400h in 2009 used and the car is definitely a great car. Very comfortable to drive and it is a car that makes you feel at home. However, the car is an SUV and most SUV's don't drive that well. If you are looking for a slower paced SUV for the family or just a causal ride than this is for you. The acceleration is practically non-existent. However, it is a hybrid so one shouldn't expect sports car performance but don't expect any at all. The car is slow. Period. Even though I liked the car a lot, one problem I had with is was the maintenance and repair costs. I am sure that it is because it is a Lexus which causes the prices to be so high. Even worse, the car is a hybrid and if you try to take it to most places for maintenance or repairs they will tell you that they do not work on Hybrids. That leaves you with only the dealership for servicing options and we know how much they charge over there. All in all this is a good car but as I have gotten older I have learned my lesson that cars really are a waste of money.

Near Best of Both Worlds

Best of both worlds in that my RX has the torque to move briskly as well as a return of decent fuel mileage when driven conservatively. And it's a ULEV. Navigation is cumbersome and simplistically inflexible. Nav voice command search returns nearest X and you either take it or stop to search the database thru layers of menu options, or find it on your own. Wind noise that I didn't expect in a Lexus. CVT is smooth. Interior nicely appointed, flawlessly assembled inside and out. Smooth quiet IC engine. ICE runs efficiently at highway speeds and had no problems going over mountain passes thru Idaho and Montana. Overall, a very well put together vehicle that I am glad I jumped into.
Superb Vehicle

I was determined to buy a hybrid this year -- one that would last until the market would be open wider in terms of alternative fuels. I currently get about 30 mpg, and this is almost 2-1/2 times my previous vehicle. LOVE IT -- superb. Bravo Toyota.
Just an Awesome Vehicle

OK - I was a skeptic going into this hybrid stuff but today we turned 2,000 miles on our RX (bought the first week of June) and I'm now a convert!! We're averaging right at 28 mpg with mixed driving. One concern I had was how well the a/c would be and maybe overheating. Not to worry - car spent a week in the Indian Wells/Palm Springs area in 115 heat and it did a terrific job. The nav system is excellent but it takes a little time and patience to get the hang of it. The hands free bluetooth phone tie-in is superb. One quirky thing? I have noticed a little "surging" in freeway driving when using cruise control - not sure whether or not it's the car or the road yet
