[@CAnnino054]

Love this car. Interesting fact, Lexus originally didn’t market the hybrid system as being for fuel efficiency they marketed it as a more efficient version of a supercharger.

[@simonbackwash]

You were absolutely right on your prediction. Those RX400H are absolutely gems and such a lovely family car. Great reviews mate 👍👍

[@rogercrawford772]

I bought a 2008 rx400h se-l just over a year ago. Best car I've ever owned.

[@frankluxobzor7393]

It is very interesting car with features like no other for sure.

[@davidcamacho1901]

are you still finding it alright, any issues?

[@frankluxobzor7393]

Hello.I dont know.This car was given to me for review.I hear this car was was sold.

[@TheGodson2000]

Hi.. Buying mine before this year runs out.. Anything to watch out for?

[@jinkazamamonkey]

I own one of these and owners need to know its one of the top leaking cars for water ingress. Check your sun roof drains, your door cards, roof rails, welded rear seams at the top of the boot on both sides and also grommets within the rear bumper area. It's well documented on many forums and can damage the battery so extensively that repair is uneconomical. If I had known this I would not have bought one but it is a great car aside from this major point.

[@frankluxobzor7393]

Thank you very much.🤝

[@XORTION]

Mainly for the sunroof model? Mines SR

[@jinkazamamonkey]

@@XORTION check all areas I listed irrespective of model, if you don't have a sunroof then all the others still apply

[@jaynechardonnay702]

I've had 2 of these rx400 love them best car I've owned never let me down drives well and runs well

[@SimonCoates]

Pay attention to the front and rear subframes for corrosion. I'm in the process of refurbishing my 2008 RX400H I've had from new. Also, replace the hybrid transmission fluid if it hasn't been done in the past, it's an easy DIY job. Buy 4 x 1 litre bottles of Toyota ATF WS (about £12 per litre) and 2 x transmission plug washers. The RX400H takes 3.7 litres of ATF WS. It's not normally necessary to replace the transmission fluid in the rear motor/differential. HTH.

Beautiful SUV

[@frankluxobzor7393]

Thanks i think the same

[@pekkakolehmainen7438]

AFS is the adaptive front lighting system that turns the headlight as the vehicle turns. The is an on/off button for AFS in the 400h.

[@frankluxobzor7393]

Ohh thank you very much.Thats very nice feature.

[@barnabasbacso17]

I love this car and hated your cameraman😅

[@mikereed1972]

Frank be quicker to get out and climb back in the passenger side than trying to squeeze through that small gap but good video

[@mohammedazad6494]

Can steering wheel and side mirror positions get set with memory seats or not?

[@frankluxobzor7393]

Hi.Sorry for late answer this comment gone out of my vission for some reason.If it is stil relevant i wil find out.Thanks.

[@sergeigorbenko]

Yes , they can be set

[@MKULTRA_Victim_]

Yes

[@MX9000YT]

What mpg do you get?

[@frankluxobzor7393]

40.49 max.

[@MX9000YT]

That’s insane for the engine and size. I get 34.5 on my 2.0 accord with economical driving

[@bryansu610]

I'm original owner of this 2006 Rx400h I bought in 2005. Currently, I still get 24 MPG.

[@sokhomratanak9193]

I am using 2006 RX400H and I only get 12.5 MPG in city, 30MPG on highway🥲

[@mikereed1972]

I have read the bible but glad Lexus give you something to read at night when the cold weather arrives ?

[@idrissakiru]

How do you release the handbrake please??

[@frankluxobzor7393]

Hi i think you need to press your handbrake pedal one more time to relice!

[@timothybracken1728]

how soft is the suspension and ride Frank ?

[@frankluxobzor7393]

Hi i would rate it 8 out of 10 overall.

[@mohammedazad6494]

Do the rear seats recline

[@frankluxobzor7393]

Yes.

[@TheGodson2000]

Hello everyone.. About to own this before this year runs out... Any cons about the RX400h?

[@frankluxobzor7393]

Yes catalitic converter was stolen from under the car.Had to get another one.

[@TheGodson2000]

@@frankluxobzor7393 sorry to hear that, i hope it doesnt have to happen again,i searched about the catalytic converter and i see its quite expensive, but we are getting it soon, its quite a spacious and reliable vehicle as i have watched many videos.

[@frankyghost7256]

top speed : more than 210km/ h !!! ( i tried one)

[@paularowe7651]

Volume is too low.

[@frankluxobzor7393]

Ok thanks.I wil try beter next time.

[@paularowe7651]

It can be difficult to get it right I do realise. Good effort though keep it up. Thanks.

[@the_gold_canopy]

Don’t buy a used one. As stated in other comments, MAJOR leaking issues, ABS Actuators are known to fail, and can cost more than the vehicle is worth to repair it, power inverter also known to fail, can cost up to $8000 for repair, main seal is known to fail after 100k, you have to remove front bumper to properly replace HID head lamp bulbs, and you pretty much need to store it in a climate controlled garage if you want it to last more than 200k.

[@frankluxobzor7393]

This car stil runs fine at the moment.Thanks for info anyway.

[@Andek74]

@@frankluxobzor7393 and it will run fine for years to come, like 99% of RXs in the world, if properly maintained. One of the most reliable SUV models ever produced.

[@sergeigorbenko]

Don't by used one ? You can't by this as new any more 🤣🤣🤣 Besides, this is one of the most reliable cars ever made . Fact ! I've owned one for 7 years When I've sold mine to a friend 2 years ago , it had 200k miles on the clock and other than leaking sunroof (easy fix £0) and leaking radiator (£200) it has never let me down . It is still running strong (70% life battery remaining) without any issues £200 in 9 years for repairs !

[@the_gold_canopy]

@@sergeigorbenko I live in the rust belt my Lexus driving friend, also known as New England. It does a job on Toyota/Lexus components. And as far as purchasing a new one, you are correct, although Lexus just dropped the all new RX500H, dropping from the 6 cylinder, to a turbo charged 4 cylinder. I guess a better way for me to word my comment is this: If you live in a rust belt area, keep your Lexus garaged when not in use. Side note: I am reading your comment while on the way to replace upper and lower ball joints, brakes (including undercarriage lines) as well as a new exhauset (front to back). I expect a $6500 bill when I pick her up on Monday. And yes, I still drive my 2008 RX400H, she has around 265k, and hopefully will be sold through a private sale so I can finally afford the down payment on a certified pre-owned LC500 (preferably a drop top) 😎

[@sergeigorbenko]

@@the_gold_canopy $6500 seems a bit too much for this kinda work, is that being done at Lexus?
