Hi
I am new to the forum and interesting this is the first post and it addresses what i wanted to know, I have been thinking of buying a used (three year old) 400H, i currently run a Touareg 3.2v6,and and wanted to change for the improved fuel economy, I get on average 23mgg and 25mpg on a run, but if the Lexus is only going to give me 21mpg in winter than that is very disapointing, I dont fully know the ins and outs of the hybrid system, but i have been told by a one or two people i might be dissapointed if fuel econmy is the reason for changeing.
I assume the engine charged the batteries which kick in when fully charged, but if electric motor is only going to last a couple of miles it hardley seems worth going for a hybrid instead of a diesel.
i do around 15k mixed driving and its seems i may as well opt for a Touareg v6 3.0L oil burner which i know will give me around 25 to 31 mpg.
It is a shame because i really do like the Lexus Rx
