Is the HS250H worth it?

JohnnyIS25 · 10-22-09, 01:14 PM

So recently i won an one year lease from lexus for the new HS, and was wondering is it worth it? If i choose to take the lease i have to ditch out for the TTL, and its like around 3k.

I'll let you know in 48 hours. I pick mine up tonight. Which model and options do you get?

It's only a good deal if need/want the car. $250 a month for a 12 month lease for the HS works for me! Congrats on your win.

I am actually picking it up next week, i got the whole tax thing wrong, it is only 1.5% and taxed for the one year lease only. I opted to get the sapphire blue HS250H premium with the technology package. I am kind of excited to get it.

The very best with the car and enjoy it. Also congratulations on being the winner. I saw the Sapphire Blue and asked what colour it was it is sharp looking. If you can post a picture of it here for all to enjoy.

What's with the ugly center dash piece extending to the console?
It looks awful.

I have one for a loaner today. The quality of the interior materials (particularly the leather) is just not on par with other Lexus models (I think MMarshall noted this in his review). You think the seat belt alarms are bad?? Try an interior beeping noise every time you put the car into reverse, like it's a dump truck or something. The one definite plus is that the TPMS shows the pressure for all tires.

The service rep had to actually get in the car to give me a primer on the gear shift and the fact that it's totally silent at times, which she repeated multiple times--THE CAR IS NOT OFF. I get the sense that they have had problems or complaints with the HS loaners--people not knowing how to put them in gear, complaining they stall, etc.
