Most luxury hybrid car madeSource: MSN Autos...Navigation and rear backup camera and concierge service are awesome along with speakers. Cons: Nothing No Complaints, Exceeded my expectations as I get better fuel mileage than 35 - more around 40 after 3rd fill up. Overall: I love Lexus and the great service I get from my dealership. They pay for my maintenance and pick up my car for service and always leave me a Lexus loaner. I have been in other hybrids but this is by far the quietest in the cabin with hardly any road noise which is important when driving around 18 wheelers Like back up camera and free concierge service and awesome sound... |

What I expectedSource: MSN Autos...Technology package probably has more bells and whistles than you need but nice to have the extra safety features such as lane keep assist, park assist, front and back cameras, precollision system. Very nice to be able to use regular gas over premium. Reasonable trunk space for a hybrid. Cons: This is a hybrid and not a performance car, so acceleration and mileage is dependent on your driving habits. No folding rear seats. 3 adults in back seat is a tight fit. Limited availability at this time and what is available has more extensive options attached. Some might object to the pricing, but you... |

Outstanding AutomobileSource: MSN Autos...Sometimes, knee gets sore. Everything else about the vehicle outweighs this small problem. My wife has no problem and fits nicely and actually the seats are a great fit. Overall: We have owned this vehicle for over a year now, but it is a 2010. We like the cooling seats in the really hot weather. All in all this car handles great, it is styled beautifully, it's comfortable, performance is excellent and all the gadgets are useful and really have a purpose, they make things easier and convenient. We get 35.5 average MPG. We couldn't have purchased a finer car during this time of high gas prices... |

The 2010 Lexus HS 250h appeals to those who want a small gas-stingy sedan but don’t have the budget restrictions of those cross-shopping the affordable 2010 Honda Insight, for example.
The Prius isn’t a direct rival, according to Lexus, but many shoppers will undoubtedly cross-shop them.
Compared to the HS, the Prius has more usable interior space and much more versatile cargo capability, thanks to the fold-down backseats, and it goes much farther on a gallon.
At the same time, the HS has a better ride, slightly more enthusiastic handling, and many more tech features and options.
The HS250h costs less than the BMW 335d and the Mercedes-Benz E320 Bluetec, both luxurious sedans with clean-diesel powertrains; in both cases, those diesels get better highway fuel economy.
The VW Jetta TDI is, for size and real-world fuel economy, one of the HS’s chief rivals, though the Jetta can’t be equipped nearly as well as the luxurious HS.
The Camry Hybrid is larger, roomier, and faster—because it’s somehow lighter than the portly HS—and nearly as fuel-efficient, so families who aren’t set on a Lexus should take a look.
In any of these cases, the Lexus dealership experience is a big part of the HS’s appeal; for that, it’s tough to beat.
