    Nice review. I own one from 2010. Fell in love with the smooth ride. It had one owner and high miles - perhaps not my smartest purchase, but on long drives it's such a cream puff! You gotta own it to understand

      buying one-owner used is smart. what was the mileage ?

      @MontyGumby 90k 😬 but no problems so far. Except just recently the dash radio is glitching. Steering wheel controls kind are an alternate way to handle that. Had her a year now. She's so sweet 😄

    I am a Swiss and can approve, the RX‘s are crap in the snow, a real pitty - beside that, the most quiet and smooth ride I ever had in a car.. you can drives for hours and the cloudy ride is amazing every time. And power is very ok, too.

    Nice review! We also have a 2013 RX450h, one previous owner. bought in FL 5 yrs ago. We also own a 2011 RX350 and really like both. My only complaints are (1) Toyota stopped offering navigation updates for this generation system in 2019, and (2) both require premium gas. I think the 2013 RX350 can take regular but not the hybrid.

    I have the 2015 RX350 w/ 85K miles and was going to trade it in for a 450H but after the test drive it felt sluggish and not as fun to drive but it does great for what its designed to be a great hybrid suv

    • @DonSoledadGroup
      @DonSoledadGroup Рік тому +1

      I didn't trade in my 350 for a 450H due to the reasons I mentioned above. A friend of mine bought a 2014 450H a few months ago with 77K miles and has no issues. I have 111K on my 350 and not once issue and normal maintenance costs.. Lexus SUVs are probably the most reliable on the road so I wouldn't hesitate to buy a 2015. @@Hermetic_

    I just trade-in my 15-yr old Ford Hybrid SUV, the classical boxy one for 2011 Lexus RX 450h w/ 75k mileage on it accumulated by a single owner, thought I should not worry that this is already 13-old vehicle, especially w/ this low mileage driven per year(less than 7,000) and with this reliable proven VVTi engine and hybrid tech.
    Compared to not-hybrid RX (21/25 mpg) this one can make on average 30mpg city/hwy in combined driving, which is not bad at all for its weight, right. Also important for my decision it was the fact that the single owner operated the hybrid in my area of drier climate CA and serviced the crossover at my local Lexus dealer, so no rust underneath and other disasters. Like they say: Lexus is the rehab for BMW, Audi, Mercedes recovering owners 😂
    The question is do I have still as a 2nd owner in state of CA the up to 150k/100,000 mi which ever comes first on the hybrid battery? How long they last and can be replaced with refurbished one for $2-3K as the replacement prices goes today (of course not at Toyota/Lexus dealership)?

    Nothing is wrong for a soccer dad to drive this Lexus RX450H.... your manhood is not determined by your "manly " vehicle... "8 inches" is more than enough to get the job done... the average is only 6.5 inches.... so 8 inches is way more than the average you need to achieve the highest climax ....
