I highly recommend it.

I haven't owned an RX450h, but I had a 2013 RX350 and we loved it. We would have kept it had we not needed a third row. So we traded it in for the Highlander Hybrid (very closely related to RX450h) and we've been very happy with the hybrid drivetrain.

I just bought the same model a few months ago and love it. Drives great. Great gas mileage, good space. Can't wait for my first road trip in it. As for things to check: make sure shocks (especially rear) aren't leaking, and then the usual stuff on any used car (tires, drive test, dings and dents, make sure everything works, etc.)

I'm currently getting 27.5 on my daily driving. I'm hoping that might improve when it gets warmer. Trips on the highway seem to be better; less stopping and starting.

THOUSANDS of replies regarding mileage. In my case, high 20's both city and highway, with city mileage substantially lower if all I do is short trips (takes lots of energy to warm up engine every time).

I did solid 30-32mpg in my HiHy with identical power train.
2015 you'll still be under warranty, so why worry. Lexus gives you 5 yr/50 000 bumper to bumper and 7 year/70 000 power train. Hybrid system is warranted for 10/100 000. Unfortunately, Toyota Hybrid SUV does not qualify for extended CARB warranty of 150 000 mil;es.
That said, you should only be concerned with price. Then let'm have it if something breaks. Rid of it as soon as you hit 65 000 miles.
