Seems like the Lexus ES Hybrid is the automotive equivalent of a ‘gold medal in mediocrity.’ With reliability ratings that would make a paperweight blush, Lexus and Toyota must be doing something right… or is it that the competition is just that bad? Consumer Reports giving it a 66 out of 100 is like giving a ‘B-‘ to someone for trying, but not really giving their best. And the ‘safety rating of five stars’? It’s like saying you can survive in a ‘safe’ cave full of tigers. Let’s not forget the maintenance costs that are ‘low’ by luxury standards, but ‘high’ by most people’s. If comfort is your top priority, maybe Lexus is your cup of tea, but for performance and value, you might want to look elsewhere, where ‘overpriced’ and ‘overrated’ are not just buzzwords.
