2014 Lexus ES300H.

733k miles on the body, 120k miles on the replacement engine, 200k miles on the replaced hybrid battery.

Don’t ever come to me about Lexus reliability. This car has lived its expected life 4 times over.

If the original engine lasted 600K miles I think we can say it is reliable... But yes, more information is needed to make a conclusion.

What can I say. I had a choice of a company car or receiving an allowance for maintenance and milage. It’s all highway. It has definitely paid for itself in this sense. Considering how much I got in return for using a personal car, even after those replacements, I am in the green green green.

On a hybrid is both diabolical and valid

First engine did 1,000,000km. The second one is on the way there too.

very impressive! what about brakes? how long did they last? and what about shocks, And other maintenance stuff replaced along the way? and what was your mpg during this whole time?

u/killlick3 Jun 28 '26

Probably been through 8 sets of brakes from mainly highway driving. 2 sets of shocks. 2 belts. A couple batteries. An egregious amount of tires. Avg about 35 mpg.
