Hey Mods, time for a sticky on this? Seems we get the same post about every other week.
Azn, to answer your questions...
Common problems: O2 sensors go bad, factory cd player jams up.
Maintenance cost: Yes, its pricey, especially at the dealer. Parts are always expensive for Lexus and any luxury brand.
Gas mileage: Sucks, best I've ever gotten is just under 23 highway.
Insurance: Not so bad, because its a 4 door and only a six cylinder.
But one thing you'll find out is we all LOVE our cars.
