2006 Lexus RX reviews

Lexus RX 400h 2006

Only owned this car for a couple of weeks so maybe I am a bit premature to comment but so far so good! I traded in a BMW 530d, an extremely powerful car, but its reliabilty had worn me down having spent over £6000 pounds on major repairs over 2 years. Also found it gave me back ache (long drives) and totally useless in snow and ice. I chose the Lexus because of comfort (wonderful) reliabilty from excellent reviews worldwide, however like all posts the fuel consumption isn’t brilliant having to fill up at 380 miles usage but the fuel tank at 65litres is very small for a large vehicle. There is no indicator letting you know how far you have left until you need to refuel but I have realised that there is usually 7-8litres left which is around 50 miles. I did push it running on red for 30 miles but not knowing the car enough got very nervous getting to the next garage! It is extremely comfortable front and back, the sat nav took a bit of getting used to but is very good as also the reversing camera but I would still like the sensors aswell. I think I well maybe a Lexus convert having owned German cars for many years, so all-in-all I am thrilled with my RX.
