We are so impressed with our 450h. The handling is excellent; it glides and flies down the road. The steering is tight and the car responds with little effort. We took a trip with our two adult children and a 14 year old; the middle seat is a bit tight, but it handles full capacity comfortably for the most part. Tech features are fun and mainly intuitive. The mouse is fun and useful. Voice navigation has limits but reads well. We love the heated/cooled front seats and classy interior; love the interior lights. Don't like the park assist; it over reacts and is annoying; other downside is it tends to be a little underpowered at times, but nothing major. Overall a total winner!

Commute 160 miles a day and make on average 27.5 mpg hanging with traffic, 29 mpg set on 65, and and 33 mpg on the 101 from San Jose to L.A. north or south. 2 others in my car pool sleep to and from work, all pay $10 each so virtually no gas bill...one has had back surgery and claims seat is the most supportive comfortable seat he has ever sat in...fantastic sound with the model just below Mark Levinson...usually keep the radio off and marvel at how quiet and relaxing the drive is. Power when you need it...stays in electric only babying the gas up to 45 mpg...26mpg in and around Carmel, Gilroy, Tahoe.

I used to drive European cars, and then switched to a RX350 which was amazing but very thirsty. I wanted the gas economy, the separate screens at the back for the long trips, and the upgraded Mark Levinson sound system (on which you can listen to audio in 5.1 surround…). I also wanted reliability and to stop spending thousands every year on unreliable and costly to maintain imported vehicles. I purchased a used (or is it pre-owned?) 2011 RX450h in early 2015 and I am still amazed. Seriously, this vehicle is now 12 model years old (we’re in December 2021 as I write this), and I have had to change 2 light bulbs for the tail lights, and the special 12 volt gel battery. That is it. Serious. Of course, the wipers, the oils, and other regular wear and tear items, have to be changed. But that is it. Yes, the handling is not on par with German SUVs, but both the comfort and the fuel economy make up for it. My next vehicle (and I do not know when that will be because my Lexus rx450h is still doing great) will be a Lexus.

The title says it all for this twelve years car. Some age issue does show up but it is noncritical nor cosmetic.

Quiet and smooth is the obvious feeling when driving. The exterior shape is awesome. Interior has a lot of space and is very luxury and comfortable. However the gas pedal is sluggish. My first tank of gas only gives me 24.6 mpg which I drove about 240 miles highway (60~70 mph) and about 160 miles city (25~45 mph). I was expecting at least 29 mpg in this drive pattern. Hopefully next tank of gas would give me better performance.
