Worth the money. It is quiet, low maintenance, saves on fuel because it is a hybrid and also has a battery
I love how quiet my car is. When it is stopped and goes to battery mode it seems like car has stalled since it is so quiet

It is a fantastic commuter car; safe, reliable, and economical.
I like that it is a hybrid; it is less harmful to the environment and gets great gas mileage. I like the features including Bluetooth phone and audio, heated seats, and leather interior. I dislike that it has an extremely small trunk, that would be my only complaint.

Loving my hybrid and not missing my SUV.
This is the first car I have owned, I normally have an SUV and was worried I wouldn't like it but I love it. The trunk has a lot of room for the size. I love the great gas mileage I get with a hybrid (35 mpg). I have not had any issues with the car. It is very reliable. I have only done routine maintenance so far. The car runs great. I would definitely buy another Lexus.

All in all it is a very dependable car with little maintenance problems
It is a good vehicle but since they no longer make it, it is hard to find parts. Only 1 major breakdown, which was insured of a steering column that needed to be replaced.. Other than that, it has been a solid vehicle. Not the greatest mileage per gallon as some hybrids that size, but good.

It is efficient, reliable and stylish -- It gets me to where I need to be
I love the hybrid aspect - but I don't like the ride and handling which are from a reduction in weight and suspension systems that they didn't put on the model to make it lighter and more efficient.

Best luxury hybrid for the everyman.
It has the same excellent comfort and quality you would expect from any Lexus. Standard features include heated seats, Bluetooth phone and audio, and great sound quality. It is now a 7 year old vehicle, but the technology and features still exceed a new vehicle you could buy from other companies today.

The car is very roomy, gets great gas mileage, and runs fast when I need it to.
My Lexus is very nice and roomy. The only thing that bothers me about it is the brakes seem to go out and I have to get the pads replaced fairly often. The only other thing that is a problem is when am I turn the car off it tends to whistle. I looked it up online and apparently this particular make and model has a tendency to have a slight whistling noise and it has something to do with the brakes relieving pressure. At first I thought there was something wrong with the car,

Love my Lexus- story from Connecticut.
Love this car, it is so reliable. There is only one issue I have and it is that a part of the plastic portion of the door is broken. It often falls off of the door, and it must be jammed back in place. It is really not a big deal. Other than that great car. The mileage is good, I am happy that I do not have to refill the gas that often. Drives smooth as well, easy to handle. I like the sleek design- feel very cool when driving.
