Well the wife did anyway. So far its pretty nice. Decent step up from the 2006 rx400h she was driving before. We got the navigation and parking sensors and heads up display. AWD as well. Also have rear seat entertainment but its dealer installed and looks pretty crappy IMHO. We are getting around 26 mpg which is probably 3 mpg better than the 2006 got. I love playing my music through bluetooth on the phone. Never had a car that could do that.

is it normal for the front sensors to not be that sensitive? They don't trigger till I just about hit my garage.

The 2010-12 has only two sensors on the front bumper. Some owners have reported in other threads here that they believe there are "blind spots" in the sensitivity as a result. I'd suggest you also check the owners manual to see what the distances those sensors should react to are for your 2010, and ensure its all operating properly in that regard. This online version may help -- you'll see the blind spot as nutty as that is, directly in front, in the diagrams...

FWIW (and not rubbing it in, just so you know some things can improve), one of the changes made to the 2013 is it now has 4 sensors in the front vs 2 in previous MYs. I have not had any problem that previous MYs seem to sometimes report, and am very happy with parking assist functionality.
