  Most significant change auto tech 50yrs - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By chrisw8595 - December 13 - 9:50 pm

  Amazing grace! It has everything, luxury, mileage, and pick up! Every gadget and comfort. Like Bentley or RR started over and built the best SUV they could ever imagine, and outdid themselves. I am second in line (here in FL) for the new Lexus GS 430 with Hybrid technology coming out next spring. All Lexus will have Hybrid engine by end of 2007. All auto makers will have to run to catch up!

  Great Car - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By El Paso - December 13 - 11:30 am

  I owned a 2004 RX330. Lexus has not changed much in the area of style which is a good thing. The highest millage I have seen is 31mpg. My average is 27.6 mpg. The power is great. I do find myself driving with more sense trying to get the best MPG which is also a good thing.

  Another Great Lexus - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By mitch-B - December 9 - 3:20 pm

  Our 7th Lexus. I just got the car a week ago and Im getting about 25 mpg. Someone said that theyve seen returns of 26 mpg w/hard driving but Im not seeing that. Its louder (the acoustic glass helps only so much) but its a hoot to drive. CONS: Inability to navigate or dial the phone while on the move. Really, my passenger could perform these distracting tasks. Lexus should trust their consumers more. (ACURA does!) Also, the higher insurance costs will offset any gas mileage or resale benefit even for someone with an impecable insurance risk profile. FINALLY: This isnt a car for the altruistic its for those who want their cake and eat it and their neighbors too ;)

  This is the best car Ive ever owned - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By Jim Cowan - December 6 - 11:13 pm

  I get 29-31 mpg of regular gas when I do mixed city and highway driving in this five-seat luxury SUV. Im driving at posted speed limits. 29 mpg using the A/C or with a window open - its amazing how an open window increases drag. The mileage is great - but I also get an extremely quiet, comfortable ride and when I want to pass a truck then I put my foot down and this thing really flies. Its more powerful than the gas version. The combination of fuel efficiency, comfort and power is the way all cars should be. People whove ridden with me have been very surprised when they got out and I told them, "Youve been riding in a hybrid." Its just a great car.

  Lexus Evaluation - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By john iacono - December 2 - 11:16 pm

  I though I would get better gas mileage. I get around 28 M/gal only if you drive no faster than 60 mph. If you go faster the M/gal drops off the faster you go. If you cruise at 70 then you can only expect around 20 or so. In the city I have yet to get anywhere near 30 M/gal The gas mileage is really disappointing. The rest of the car is perfect. THE GPS isnt as good as some others, however it works very well. The car drives and rides beautifully.

  Disappointed that we arent even getting 20mpg - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By Love Lexus - November 21 - 11:43 pm

  Im not sure yet on how this Lexus will do with reliability but I do love Lexus. I never write these things but I am very disappointed that we arent even getting 20mpg. The dealership told me this vehicle was never designed to get good mpg, just cleaner emissions and slightly more horsepower over the 330. I would still buy an rx or gx but not the hybrid. I paid extra thinking I would save on gas and am very disappointed.

  Riding on the wind - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By Woody - November 19 - 8:46 pm

  I had a Lexus RX 300. It saved my life in an accident four years ago in Florida. I had no second thought as to quality and safety when I traded in my RX 300 for my new 400h. It will take a little time to get use to turning the key and not hearing a sound like a regular gas powered RX. It will also take some time to get use to the backup camera and rear door that opens with the push of a button . Now if I can only find someone that will drive "Me" around in it so I can sit back in the rear reclining seats , and watch a dvd on the entertainment system !

  Third RX - 2006 Lexus RX 400H

  Flawless in quality (no repair needed ever on any of three RXs Ive owned over past 9 years).

  Lexus 400h - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By Gordy - November 12 - 4:10 pm

  Rides high in the saddle with great visibility and suspension; superlative interior and more pep than I expected. The cornering and handling are excellent. This vehicle has just about every option that one could desire in a luxury vehicle with gas mileage that is unparallelled in such a large vehicle. Price reduction and more info on tax credit for 2006 would be helpful.
