Hello Scotty,
what I prefer doesn't matter.
It comes down to a simple question ... do you like power, or do you like low fuel cost?
I see your point, but technically, the RX450h has 295hp and the RX350 has 270hp. The 450h is abo 0.5 sec. faster from 0-60 mph.
Thank you.
Never mind the numbers. I suggest taking them both for a test drive on the highway and try overtaking a few cars to get a feel for it.
Of course with the hybrid you have to remember about the battery. Is it original? Expect a large bill when it comes time to replace it when it's 10-15 years old.
Thank you for your input.
The 450h only has 30k mi; so I am pretty certain that it's the original battery.
Both are very reliable vehicles, and liked by their owners.
How long do you plan to keep it? If a very, very long time, the 350 may win out over the Hybrid.
Do you need the money from the sale? If so that should be factored into your decision.
I think this is more your choice than anything. I don't think you will get a lot of direction as far as one being much better, in terms of reliability than the other.
If you drive a lot, comfort. and mpg comes into the equation.
Which one do you like better?
