2006 Lexus RX400h Hybrid from North America - Comments

Car is basically flawless.

I love everything about it - it's super high-tech and has all sorts of cool features. It's incredibly fast, and even when heavy on the fast-pedal, it gets over 24 mpg!

Typical oblivious hybrid driver. I don't mean offense, I really don't, but just because it's a hybrid doesn't mean it's environmentally friendly. There's still a 3.3 V6 beating under there. In fact, hybrids are actually even worse for the environment than most cars because of the nickel in the batteries. When those batteries need replacing, I guarantee you that's not an environmentally friendly process. Not to mention all the extra shipping involved as the batteries go between several European countries before they're ready to then be shipped off to Japan and then to you in America.

I'm sure you've heard it all before, but it is fact, not crack pot theory. You'd have been much better off with an RX350. Or much, much better yet, a BMW X5. They are better quality and a better drive.

Just remember; just because a car is economical (though 24 MPG isn't THAT good) doesn't mean it's good for the environment.

"Or much, much better yet, a BMW X5. They are better quality and a better drive."

A better drive than an old Bronco II maybe, but in no way are they better than the Lexus RX.
