    I bought f sport 2015 plate had it 8 years now. Great car reliable and nothing wrong so far. The cvt is really smooth and hybrid battery health so far lost one bar. Great when tryjng to drive on battery as far as you can before the engine kicks in. Great on fuel around town and not as good on motorway driving. Very planted on the road on motorway driving. To keep the engine going strong i use premium fuel shell v power all times and has kept the engine very smooth

    I just picked up a 2012 with the Premium package. Stepped into this from a '06 Charger R/T. A significant difference! MPG is almost doubled. Nicer interior, especially with the Navi. My absolute favorite feature (besides the MPG) is the Mouse. As a Techie, this was a game changer for me. Overall, I will be looking at more Lexus Hybrids in the future. I'm a fan now!

      Same! I just got a 2012 with the premium package as well, I really lucked up on it because it was apart of a business fleet so the car was in immaculate condition with only 40k miles, black exterior and caramel interior. Looks brand new the way it was kept, I love this little car😂

      For a 1st car, this thing will spoil you on MPG savings! You're going to save SO MUCH 💰 on ⛽️ zionz! I just drove a 2022 Prius for the last 3 months & I was getting 50MPG & sometimes 60MPG 😮 Basically you could compare both cars nearly the same performance-wise. We also have a newer WRX. So going from about 40-50$ every couple days to like 27$ a week on gas (and that's driving about 430 miles). It's the perfect car to make money in for gig-work bc you save so much on miles.

    Thanks for the video. It's a Lexus, so it's well built. The hybrid system is proven to be very reliable too. I'm thinking about getting something like this when my daughter turns 18 so that she can go to the local college that's only like 15 minutes away. How many miles did your sister's car have when she got it? I recently bought a 2015 Lexus GS 350 with 187k miles and it still drives like a new car. Lexus vehicles are very reliable. Even with high miles. Does your sister still have this car? Subscribed

    • @jakeandcameron7022
      @jakeandcameron7022  Před rokem +4

      That’s really up to you personally but the car has been around long enough and has the same powertrain as a Prius C so I would recommend that at minimum you take it to a shop that can work on Toyotas and you should be good

      Acceleration is pretty laggy on all Toyota and Lexus hybrid cars but at 120k the battery should have quite a bit of life left

    Unfortunately this car is full of rattles. Maybe I’m a perfectionist but every week almost I found another rattle. Owned it for 10 years and after the 5th year it really started to get on my nerves. Upgraded to the 2023 UX250h and it made a world of difference. Don’t suffer, just get the UX. This car is ancient and overly rough over even mildly poor pavement.
