Well compared to my current 30yr old Mitsubishi it would be youngster, I read a RAC review and they mentioned a possible 500,000 mile life on the Lexus !

London Best Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 As with any other vehicle, it’s all down to proper maintenance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson_tom Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Good friend had one and was a reliable bit of kit, his parents bought it new then he had it off them when his kids come along. Fuel consumption was pretty poor but was nice to drive and stood up quite well to the abuse of 3 kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVB Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 MIL has a 450h. Does the job but terrible fuel consumption and small tank so she feels she is forever filling up. I think that's a common problem with hybrids as you are lugging around an engine and battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
