Positive Review
Lexus makes the JDPowers top list all the time for few repairs, but they discourage and give you a hard time to correct a problem if it costs too much. My Lexus had 14M when I showed my dealer that that coating on all 4 wheels looked like the coating was getting thin and was spotty. Very noticeable. Pictures were then sent to Lexus for review. After about 4 weeks, Lexus informed me that they would not repair or replace them. I am retired and take excellent care of my car. It doesn't take any Einstein to figure out that it was a defect in material or workmanship! It's always nice when you don't have to deal with issues like this one.

Critical Review
I have never been more disappointed in a car. I have owned Lexus' for 15 years and always told people how great they are. This model gets terrible gas mileage--rated at 40 and I get 29 always driving in ECO mode--the seats are the most uncomfortable seats in any car I have ever owned and the cabin noise is amazingly loud. I have had the car in many times to service to fix the problems--but I'm told there are no problems, this is the way it is supposed to work. Add to that the design interior feels cheap and flimsy and the exterior design is a big bland blah. Why did I buy it --15 years of loving my other Lexuses. Never again.

Gas Mileage; Comfort
Not Sporty enough for some
I've been using my 2018 ES300H as both my personal car and for Rideshare [Uber; Lyft]. Bought it for around $29K in December of 2022 with around 50K miles. I currently have around 147K miles in 3 ½ years, so I'm getting plenty of use from it. Last year during a Heat Wave, I had to replace the Hybrid Battery Filters, which was the only time I've done any repairs apart from regular consumables. I'm routinely getting 37MPG or more driving in and around NYC. I've frequently gotten compliments from passengers who really like the Interior. I've sat in the back seat only a couple of times, but found it to be very comfortable. Overall, I'd certainly recommend this car to anyone else. As an aside to other owners who might be reading this, you can burn a DVD with MP3 files which you will then be able to play on the Disc Player
my 2016 Lexus es300h with 262K miles still runs like new, 42 Mpg and perfect hybrid battery condition
Low mileage, new brakes, body in very good condition. Great condition. No dents, inside is immaculate. Color is pearl white
We have really enjoyed this car. We have kept it serviced at the dealer and have never had any trouble. It has a brand new battery installed recently and a set of 4 brand new tires. The leather interior is just like new. The only reason we are selling this car is that I no longer drive and we don't need two cars so we, my husband and, I are keeping the newest one.
Immaculate condition. Drives like and looks like a new vehicle. Smooth quite ride. Excellent features with the lux pkgs. Can't think of anything else that this one needs. If you did not know it was 12 years old you would think it was new.
I never thought I could afford a Lexus, but I got a great deal on this one. It rides so smoothly and handles like a dream. Lexus is one of the top makes and if you find a good one, jump on it!
great gas milage and reliability
small trunk due to Hybrid battery
It has 160,000 miles and going strong. Daily work car, average 36MPG now. It was at 38/39 when it was new. Bought is used for under $30K when it was 2 yrs. old with 20k miles on it. Have only changed oil and tires. Runs great. Interior is still looking new. I am going to get a paint job on the exterior. It has a lot of chips in the front. It is not a sports car, but it has spunk. The only downfall is the trunk space (has the Hybrid battery). They changed in the newer years.
Bought my 2014 Lexus 300h in March 2014. It will be 10 years old this March. The only extra cost aside from tires, wiper blades and oil changes was the regular non-hybrid battery replacement at over 6 years of ownership. I still love its comfortable ride and quiet cabin and smooth handling. I'd give it 6 stars!
