I bought a 2006 RX400H because I didn’t want a car

I bought a 2006 RX400H because I didn’t want a car payment anymore from a 2021 Toyota RAV4 XSE. Even though this car is older - it’s 100x more smoother than my 2021, and the ride quality outshined the RAV4 by a landslide. I can’t recommend this car enough!

369,278 miles and still drives smooth.

369,278 miles and still drives smooth. Technology of this car is futurist for 2026 This car is everything an electric Lexus should be. Headed for 500,000 miles into the future.

Absolutely reliable and a great car to own/drive

Bought my 2008 RX450H in 2012 with 90,000 miles on it and a good service record. Now in 2023 it has 174,000 miles. It still runs like new, handles well, and is very comfortable. I have done maintenance and just did the Timing belt, spark plugs, and CVT fluid change. Toyota replaced the inverter under a recall so no issues there. No, repairs beside maintenance. I actually like this model better than my friends 2015 RX450H. I do miss the Bluetooth radio ability but I use a cassette adapter to stream music from my iPhone 12. Periodically I evaluate moving to a newer car but keeping this one wins out. The only temping car is the RAV 4 Plug-In Hybrid but it just does not have the feel of my Lexus and I cannot justify the upgrade cost. Toyota by far has the best engineered hybrids around. Love to have a full EV for a second car one day but so expensive.

Solid car, inside and out

I wanted another RX Lexus, because of the performance of my previous RX 300. I upgraded to a Hybyrd to see how they operate. I anticipate mu next car being all-electric.

Best car I've ever owned

Still drives like new - very comfortable and quiet. Only major expense other than normal maintenance - I had the front steering linkage replaced about 150K as bushing were worn. I now have 215K miles - still going strong. Lexus service says they've seen a few still going over 300K. Service also said they have never had to replace the EV battery unless car was in an accident. I keep hoping Lexus will come out with an all electric vehicle.

Never get tired of driving it!

My wife and I bought this when we got married. We live in an area that has cold winters so we decided to get an SUV. When I test drove it, I was surprised by how well a 10 year old car performed. It was powerful going uphills, and fast when accelerated on the freeway. The best part of my driving experience with this RX400h is the quietness of the hybrid system! I also love how easy it is to control the vehicle and how smooth it feels even on rough roads. I plan to keep it for very long time and maybe my kids will drive it when time is right. It feels it can last forever.
