Replying to: KarenS (May 06, 2005 6:39 am) I am trying to decide between an rx and rxh. I have read the discussions but still haven't made my mind up. While test driving the rxhybrid I thought I could feel it change between gas and electricity while on the road....a slight "shifting" feel. Is this normal....is it annoying to anyone? I just don't know if it would be best to stick with the rx. Replies to this message: katzjamr (Jan 01, 2006 6:11 pm) wwest (Jan 01, 2006 9:52 pm)

Replying to: desoto1 (Jan 01, 2006 5:19 pm) There are times when you might feel it, more at low speeds for me, but it is usually seamless. Premium gas makes the change more abrupt in my 400h. What you will feel in a 400h is the silky smooth CVT, more power, and i think better handling.
#113 of 202 Any other info? Do you think the hybrid is smoother than the nonhybrid? by desoto1 Jan 01, 2006 (6:30 pm)
Are there any other cons you think other than the gas milage being less than what's stated? I am not as concerned about the difference in the price between the rx and rxh...I just don't know if I should stick to the rx since it is "tried and true."

Replying to: stan17 (Jan 01, 2006 8:27 pm) I owned an rx 330 and put 85,000 trouble free miles on it. I now own an rx400h and only have 1100 miles on it. I like the 400h even better than the 330. The " transmission" is smoother and the pick up is faster. The engine kicking in and out is not a problem. The 8 year warranty on the hybid part of the car eliminated in my mind the risk with the hybrid. You can not go wrong with either model.
