  Why not reward yourself? - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By Sam - March 15 - 3:23 am

  Have you found your soulmate yet?You know the feeling if you did.I really got that feeling when I picked up my RX 400h just a couple days ago.The car is awesome in every way, shape or form from head to toe, side to side...its great!! Ive been in my boss Mercedes ML350, and other luxury cars, but there really is no comparison. The leather feels great, the ride is smooth, its got awesome power&pick up,and best of all a full tank will last you a while!! Maintenance is economical. The price is steep, no doubt about that, but I adopted a line from the Mercedes car ad: Love what you drive

  First Impressions - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By rzurek - March 11 - 2:33 pm

  The Lexus 400h hybrid is a very luxuriously appointed SUV with peppy acceleration and a smooth comfortable ride. This is the first year of hybrid technology although it is not unproven being used in the Toyota Prisus for the past couple years and in Japan. My only disappointment is that the mileage rating is not sufficient enough to get you into the California car pool lanes.

  Superb overall car - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By JJS - February 20 - 7:26 am

  Pluses: Great acceleration (noticeably quicker than my old RX 300). Superb FM sound (with the optional Marc Levinson system). Powered rear lift gate is very handy. Minuses: So-so fuel economy; again its better than my old Lexus, but this in NOT the car you want if youre looking for exceptional mileage. Im getting about 24 MPG, but I drive with a lead foot. Overall, a superb car. (Based on 3 months and about 3000 miles).

  The Queens Lexus - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By NYAD QUEEN - January 18 - 8:26 pm

  I had been driving a BMW 740iL for several years but wanted a smaller, more economical vehicle to commute and travel in. Once I test drove the LEXUS RH400h my worries were over. This vehicle is incredible. LEXUS has thought of everything. The ride is most comfortable, the handling is great, the gas mileage puts a smile on my face, and the beauty of the car is something to behold.

  Loving this Car! - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By Nancy Boyken - December 18 - 11:13 am

  Ive driven the RX300 for 5 years, and knew when my lease was up that I wanted to upgrade to the hybrid version. It is everything that was advertised, and more. The ride is zippy and fun, the interior luxurious, and the amenities abound.

  Wonderful Vehicle - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By fun ride - December 1 - 7:40 pm

  Incredible vehicle that runs extremely smooth. I have never enjoyed a car as much as this one. Gas mileage is between 25 and 27 MPG. Overall, I highly recommend this car.

  Nice Car, But Where is the Fuel Economy? - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By Andy - November 2 - 8:46 am

  Concerned about Americas dependence on foreign oil, I searched long and hard for a hybrid. I cannot fit in a Prius (really, I cant), and the best vehicle I found was the Lexus RX 400h. All around, it is the best vehicle I found. It is comfortable, with all the features I need (and the ones I dont need, I like). It is a delight to drive. However, the fuel economy leaves something to be desired. A big reason is because I drive a lot of short segments, and I reach my goal about the time the vehicle warms up. Still, I wish Lexus had redirected a few of the horsepower into fuel economy, or at least given us the choice.

  Awesome Vehicle - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By Soxcyclone - October 10 - 2:53 am

  The long wait for the RX400h has been more than worth it. I have only been driving it for just a few days, but all I can say is wow, what a vehicle! The power and acceleration is incredible for an SUV with a V6. It is also very quiet (sometimes totally silent), and comfortable. I would say though that the most surprising finding to this point is that I believe (from testing so far) the EPA estimate of 31 mpg (city driving) probably can be beaten if one is careful with the accelerator. I am saying pleasant surprise since I had been hearing from message boards, etc, that it will not attain EPA estimates. Wrong! The highway mileage so far has averaged at about 27 mpg. Lexus has a new big hit.
