Reviews for Lexus RX 450h
Great car and worth the cost
This is a true luxury car, with a long list of features that define luxury. I'll list just a few of the many - memory for driver's seat and steering wheel preferred location, easy lock & unlock with the key fob, the ride is quiet, quiet, quiet!, roomy and comfortable, great stereo, easy blue tooth set-up, heads-up display, and on and on. I find only 1 flaw with this car - a serious blind spot. The high head rests and the narrowing of the back right window create a spot in which it is impossible to see another car toward the right and rear of the car. Took awhile to adjust to that.
Pros
- Dashboard: The driver is able to easily assess what is happening with the car.
Cons
- Visibility: See note above - serious blind spot toward the right and rear of the car.
Best car I have ever owned.
Pros - so many options on this vehicle. I like how the seat moves back to easily exit the car. Power tailgate is nice. The rear seats fold up and down so effortlessly. Cons - A lot of the controls are tied to the GPS screen. Mouse is hard to select. Hydrid motor has a delay in startup
Pros
- Fuel Economy: Much better that the gas model
- Interior Space: Large cargo area
- Technology and Entertainment: SO many bells and whistles
drives like a dream!!!
I took The car in for its first maintenance and it was only $169 at my very expensive foreign car place so what a pleasure after owning a Mercedes and every time I took that car and it was a minimum of $600
Pros
- Ride and Handling: easy driving and so comfortable
