I am going to look at a few 400h at 40 to 60 k miles so I'll report back when that's done, just drove a Subaru forrester and top of the range brand new and not as nice as the murano I am needing to change ( and too expensive for what it is

Thanks for your replies in the past I have run a discovery 2 ( big big bills ) a BMW X1 ( horrid car put me off BMW for life and I was always having to defend it to our clients, an XC 70 ( 175000 miles still going strong ) a passat ( why ? ) I was looking at another Xc70 but having run the Murano for a year now I like being high up again. Comparing the two the Rx 450 is a bit quieter a bit faster more modern and hopefully a hell of a lot more economical as the funding would have to come from the fuel saving on the murano. I currently spend £1000 a month on petrol so I am hoping it will be self funding, I looked at an ML but reliability and image was a problem don't fancy anything else and the more modern Murano is £450 per year to tax so I just don't know

I am a newbie and this is my first post so so be gentle with me Hi I have been following posts and lurking with interest as I am considering changing my current car and am looking at the rx 400h or 450h Just a bit of background I work for a wind turbine company and cover about 40,000 miles a year I need a high ground clearance and occasional 4 wd, I am currently running a Nissan Murano 3.5 v6 petrol which is doing 23 mpg and I have covered over. 40,000 in 12 months, but as the car is now over 9 years old and my company will not pay for use of a car over 10 years old I need to change it. So I would like a quiet and comfortable vehicle with reasonable fuel economy ( currently 23 mpg), above 30 would be nice, 90 % of my driving is on motorways between 70 and 80 and I need I pod connection and a decent Bluetooth phone, I think a 400h or a 450 h would do me fine Am I mad?
