Theres so many features in this car that many newer cars dont even have

Thank you for the video. Ignore those people who are blaming you, overall very informative and clear review. Do you know what is real fuel consumption for this car? Greetings from Lithuania by the way!

She's quick as you noted, but when I employ the Sport and Power buttons located under the front of the console lid, my 2007 GS 450H becomes a rocket sled on a rail. There's a fuel consumption penalty, but handling and acceleration become greatly enhanced. Surprisingly most reviews I've read fail to use these features which may explain why Lexus chose to make a notation of the switch locations on the side of the console lid on the 2008 models.

how much is the range for the hybrid battery and also is it so that it charges while driving or is it just charge only?

@@abato_a the thing with the hybrid batteries is that they never go wrong completely. It's usually one or two cells. That's why they can easily be refurbished. If you are DIY inclined you can even replace the bad cells yourself, they're around 30 bucks a piece on Ebay. Plenty of tutorials on youtube too.

There's a reason why Japanese cars hold their value much much more than German cars recently. German cars are built to break and parts need replacing it's part of their strategy of planned obsolescence. Japanese cars are just built to last.
