Is this really an SUV?? - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
By King Kelly - November 28 - 9:33 pmUntil I was given an RX 330 as a loaner for the day when my car was in for service, I was adamant about never purchasing another SUV. In my previous experience with an SUV, I felt like a weeble whenever I drove it and was happy to get rid of it. What I cant get over is how comfortable my new R400h is to drive. It has a smoother ride than my SC430 had! I live in the Northeast and it plows through snow with effortless confidence, and when its raining it feels as if Im driving on dry pavement. The gas mileage, well, that speaks for itself.

RX400h....gotta own one - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
By Headless - November 25 - 3:00 pmThe RX400h represents a new era in automobile technology. The vehicle offers excellent performance with excellent fuel efficiency. If you have a lead foot, the efficiency will suffer, but youll still easily beat virtually all other SUVs on the market in regards to mpg. In terms of performance, 0-60 in under 7 seconds is sweet (its faster than Lexus numbers) and acceleration from 45-65 is more than impressive. The vehicle is adept at handling and cornering, with braking beyond belief. Navi, bluetooth, adaptive headlights, auto tailgate, etc ... the list goes on ... this car is packed with features ... compare it to anything on the market and youll get one...

By gordon thorpe - November 7 - 12:36 pmTHe RX400 flies like a rocket. Hard to hold down to 70. Gas mileage is excellent and navigation system is a real treat. Best car I have ever owned.

Great Car! - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
By LLabrepotsirhc7 - November 2 - 3:26 amThe Lexus Rx400h is a great car. Nice interior, comfy seats and I love the power liftgate. The 4-month wait for us was worth it! It has a lot of power and is very fuel efficient. We love it and would recommend it any day. Toyota/Lexuss build quality and reliability is great! We look at all other Mid-Size Luxury SUVs and found this to be the best, and it is!

Absolutely the best in its class! - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
By Dr. D - October 26 - 7:56 amGreat vehicle! Above expectations! We were concerned about purchasing the "New Technology" of the Hybrid, but, NO COMPLAINTS! Its awesome to drive! It does take a little getting use to but, in no time, youll LOVE driving it. When the engine shuts off and youre on nothing but battery, the vehicle is quiet as a mouse. My son calls this Stealth Mode. The looks you get are funny, they see you moving, but hear nothing. They cant figure it out. The vehicle runs smooth and quiet during normal operation, you dont notice the engine shutting down or reengaging, there is NO hesitation what-so-ever. The transmission is superb! One gear, smooth and fast! It just doesnt get better than this!

No drawbacks - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
By Robin - August 28 - 12:06 pmI love this car. The only difference between the hybrid and a regular vehicle is that sometimes the quiet operation is unnerving. It takes some getting used to. Now I find when I drive someone else car, Im surprised when the engine kicks in immediately when I start it. That does not happen with my hybrid. The engine starts only when it needs to.
