So, if you own or have owned a Toyota or Lexus brand vehicle with the four (or six) cylinder hybrid system please tell me about it.
What do you like about it?
What don't you like about it?
What were you getting for mpg?
What year/make/model?
Did anything go wrong with it?
If so, what happened and how many miles were on it?
I bought a 2024 Toyota Venza hybrid last April. (I'm not a car person, I just bought what I liked the looks of and was comfortable to get in and out of and a nice ride. DH wanted me to buy a Toyota since that's what he prefers to work on/maintain.)
I like the MPG the most. I was checking MPG the first 6 months I owned it and I was averaging over 50 MPG. I live in MA, I have not been monitoring the MPG the past few months. But it seems the same, I've been filling up my tank on normal schedule of every other week. I do drive
at least 150 highway miles every week.
I don't necessarily not like anything about it. If anything, maybe I could have bought a smaller vehicle?
Nothing has gone wrong yet with my SUV.
The only thing I would add is to change your oil after the first 500 to 1,000 miles or so. My DH changed the oil after what he called the break in period, after a month of driving and said the oil was really dirty. He changed it again at 5 thousand miles after that and said it was clean. I'm glad we didn't wait until the 10k that the dealership recommended. I want my engine to last a long time.
Oh ya, I didn't realize at first that my car could be remotely started. I've never had a remote start car until this one. But my DH let me know I just have to press the lock door button 3 times, hold down on the 3rd press and it starts after a small pause. This winter my car is nice and toasty when I get in a few minutes later. I really like that.
