Lexus hybrid could be what the world needs
The Lexus hybrid is hands down the best vehicle I have ever owned. The seats are comfortable for long or short rides. There is plenty of room for our small family of 3, and I don't feel like I am driving something that's too big for me. It really is the best car ever, I hope it lasts another 125,000

It has a really smooth ride and is great for long road trips.
It has a smooth ride and good gas mileage. Has a nice body shape and looks good. Heated and cooled seats. Roomy back seat.

It is a fast luxury car with a fast pickup.
It is amazingly comfortable with a lot of nice accessories. It is a hybrid with a fast pickup. It has grey and black interior and leather seats. It is an amazing family car but the only thing that is bugs me is how it is so quiet. I am personally a car fanatic and I like loud cars so it is the only downside but I am sure if you like a nice luxury car that is quiet then you'll love this car.

Kia optima, negative points.
The Kia optima gets only fair mileage, is somewhat bouncy (shocks are stiff), and my wife is not really comfortable driving the car due to mirror placements.

Dependable operation with good gas mileage and very comfortable ride.
Very comfortable ride. Fairly good gas mileage. Upkeep is very good.

Nice vehicle but not enough go! This has Lexus amenities but not the pick up I like.
The vehicle doesn't go have as much pick up as I like. Pretty comfortable. I never have had an issue with performance.

Lexi, my beloved silver Lexus.
Though I haven't had the car to myself very often, I love how easy it is to maneuver. The wheels drive smooth, there's never any glitches, and it is easy to locate buttons. The seats are very comfortable, enough that I used to fall asleep in them. It is never broken down before or had any unordinary issues.

Not for sale. Like new. Never had problems. Good in bad weather. Holds the road.
Large, dependable and comfortable. Wife likes to drive it. Good mileage.
