  Hybrid lives up to expectation - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By Patricia - August 11 - 9:00 pm

  So Ive only has it for 10 days...but it has lived up to every expectation I had for it...including the mileage. I am averaging 28+ all around, and most of it has been highway. I have been more cognizant of my driving; no quick starts, etc. I think thats the key...Easy does it, and youll save. Im looking forward to many years with this vehicle. So far, I love it!!!!

  Love the ride!!! Getting twice the gas mileage than my old SUV - only having to fill up every other week. Easy handling, great get-up-and-go, very comfortable and extremely quiet! Im thrilled with my new hybrid and Im doing my part to help the environment!

  Lexus Hybrid SUV - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By Ann - July 6 - 3:03 pm

  I love Lexus vehicles and when I heard they were building an SUV I put money down to get one of the first. I love it but only have 1000 miles on it so far. At this point my mileage avg. approx 22 mpg in the city and hwy. I have done a combination of driving. It has gotten better as I have driven it. But I havent seen it reach the 30 mpg yet. Other than that, I still have all the luxury and power I need. It gets better mileage than the 05 GS 430 I was driving that got 16 mpg, plus I have more space. I do love dealing with Lexus, they make it very easy to do business with them. So far, my family has purchased 9 different Lexuses.

  Very good car - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By safedriver - May 28 - 3:56 am

  This is a great car, while not as much fun to drive as my old X5 it is actually faster and literally does the same miles on 1 tank of regular that the beemer did on 2 tanks of premium! Everything works like it should and now with 3000 mile on it I havent had a single problem. I bought it because I need an SUV at 64" and in MA and wanted one that was green (mileage was secondary concern), this cars emissions are 15-20% of what the beemers were! It is low end luxury and I dont like the exterior styling, a litle too flash and not enough quiet class like the BMW/Audi/Merc group but I can live with that for the low emissions, the great mileage, the relaibility, & the much cheaper cost.

  Best ride/drive - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By tom - May 22 - 12:06 pm

  The new 440h is great. The especially quiet - and quick - ride is the best. Comfortable on long ride (450 mile trip over weekend - mostly highway - 27.0 mpg aver.). yes - expensive - bells and whistles not all that necessary - but the car is 100%.

  Let Those Gas Prices Rise - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By andy2xus - May 4 - 6:10 am

  At 3300 miles were averaging 29-30MPG in 50/50 mixed driving w/very rare AC.The temps been 70 - 80, low humidity. Our driving style is reflected in the change in MPG - mine is about 1MPG higher than my Y-chromosome mate. For us it truly makes a difference in fuel efficiency. Although I dont drive like a little old lady, I tend to coast and anticipate much more than my husband. It makes driving like a video game. I try to see if I can adjust the mileage back up after he drives it (even though he has his own vehicle). Love the stealth mode in the city, love our dealer, love the reputation of Lexus. Great vehicle.

  Just got the car this month. The mileage is a little less than advertised, but its a fun car to drive with pop when you need it.

  approaching perfection - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By Dick Capello - March 13 - 8:56 pm

  The RX400h continues Lexus tradition of producing quality, innovative and reliable automobiles. I have owned one since April 25th, 2005 and still have my 1995 SC300. It has performed perfectly for 10 years. The RX400h has met all the claims made for it and is filled with the small amenities that characterize the line. The informative displays on the Nav screen and speedometer are teaching me a new way to drive... trying to keep the gas engine OFF! The on/off cycles of the engine are virtually unnoticable.

  Love this Car - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By KellyT - March 7 - 8:16 pm

  I was hesitant to buy any SUV; I typically am much more environmentally conservative. However, after years of not being able to get equipment and kids in vehicles, I relented. The Lexus Hybrid is a pleasure to drive. It takes curves well and handles well in high volume traffic. I feel secure behind the wheel. I have the back-up mirror which I love and I feel secure in it with my kids in car seats. I am also an executive though..and it doesnt feel just like a mommy car.

  Great Car - 2006 Lexus RX 400H
  By BMT - February 13 - 10:26 am

  Great car. I previously owned an 04 RX330 and although it was a very good car, 400h is even better. Great performance combined with excellent fuel economy.
