Inflated advertised MPG

By Withheld written on 01-01-2016

Bought this 2016 ES300H in early December 2015 with a (at least allegedly) full tank of gas by dealer. Fuel gauge did show full tank. At 450 miles, "Low Fuel" light came on. Assuming 3 gallons of gas still in the tank, mpg comes to 32. The mpg calculator/indicator in the car shows 33. I live in the mid-Atlantic area where the December 2016 weather was very mild. I have been driving very gently, no hard acceleration or stopping, as I wanted to see what gas mileage I would get. I've been driving about 60% in-town and 40% highway. I've read elsewhere people getting 33, 37, or 40 mpg. Does individual ES300H's have such large disparity in mpg? Lax quality control? Or the car should have low mpg during "break-in" period (first 600 miles) when the engine is "tight"? After one year owning the car, I can confidently say that my ES300H never achieves the advertised mpg, even in ECO mode. 34~35 mpg is the norm, and low fuel light comes on at about 450~500 miles, and at 500 miles, need to add 14~15 gallons. Also, actual mpg calculated from added gas versus mileage is always lower than shown in the dashboard. Jan 2018 Update: I have owned my 300H for 2 years now, at 18K miles. Have been driving it in ECO mode for almost 2 years. In pleasant temperatures (e.g. May or October), I can get 39~41 mpg reading on dashboard. Actual mpg calculated from gas filled/miles run is always about 2 mpg below car reading. In winter, mpg is much lower. I am currently (December - January) reading 33~34 mpg in car, expecting actual mpg to be 2 mpg lower.

Leg room kinda tight

By nOrakat written on 07-18-2016

I think one problem that stood out for me was that my left leg hit the door moldings. I like to open my legs a little when I drive and not have them straight in front of me (which if I did may not have been a problem). Another thing I noticed, that others have pointed out is that the braking was not too great. The brakes on my current car are pretty sensitive and responsive, but braking with the same pressure on this car felt like the car was sliding forward and actually alarmed me. It was sort of scary but did not have enough time with the car to see if I would get used to that. The ceiling on the car was sort of low so w me at 5'9" I had only a half an inch above my head; same with the back seats, but the leg room is very good. Three large adults in the back would be very tight. What stood out as exceptional for the car was the suspension. Absorbed the bumps very well, even in the horrible streets of NYC. Another thing that stood out was the engine noise. This car revs very high when accelerating from 0-50/60mph and even with the sound deadening, engine is still loud due to the RPM. The sound system only sounded OK in the Premium version.

Comfortable Car - Promised Mileage NOT Obtained

By Craig Zalk, Fairfax VA written on 12-24-2016

The reason I leased this car was because I wanted a car that delivered a fine ride with terrific gas mileage (claimed at about 40 MPG). What I ended up getting is a car that delivered a fine ride, but the gas mileage was off by about 25% - and that is driving the car as gently as possible while in the most fuel efficient mode ? ECO Drive. Don?t get me wrong, this is a nice car, well appointed and delivering a great ride. It is just that the mileage is far, far off from what was promised. I asked the salesman if I could take a car home overnight, and was told ?no.? (now I know why he said no). Had I spent more time test driving the car, the MPG truth would have become obvious. Oh well. Next time I will be more vigilant.
