I am full of questions these days

Since our car got totalled, we are looking to replace it. We had an 08 RX 350.

We found some pre-owned 2008 models on both the 350 and the 400H models.

Any experience/insight on which would be better?
I have heard some complaints about the hybrid droping off the mileage from 33 to 25 very soon and some battery problems.

Thanks a lot

 

With gas prices remaining $3/gallon I would get a hybrid version, without a question. My co-worker has 90k mi on her 2006 and no issues with hybrid powertrain.


33mpg is unrealistic in a hybrid RX, probably more of like around 25-27 mpg in combined city/hwy. Still much better than 18-21mpg in a non-hybrid RX. Interesting if the hybrid version costs more in a user car market?

 

we average 25-28 mpg with the 400H. I have never seen over 30 AVG. we drive over 60 mph quite a bit though so the hybrid system only kicks in on the down hills. We love the 400H. plus we both like the stainless dash!

 

Thanks for all your inputs.

We ended up getting the RX 400H. We bought a 2008 model with 14K miles and price was $35,888
