Looks like at Lexus Swindon now .

Good stuff . They might also have had the radio on as well as the interior lights . One hour of that I would think would drain most batteries.

Maybe Halfords did the work with the doors open / interior lights being left on and drained battery?

Try the East Neuk of Fife . Coastal towns including Elie , St Monans , Pittenweem , Anstruther , Crail , St Andrews . Some decent scenic harbours , great beaches and plenty decent cafes . Definitely try the fish and chips in Anstruther .

Lexus dealer carried out some kind of software update and that seemed to sort the issue but like I said above my wife had lost confidence in the car so it was traded in a month later . Hope that helps .

I am pretty sure that the heatshields now have to be in place as part of the MOT - so best to re-fit with over sized washers as suggested above .

Prefer 4 doors although the 2 doors maybe look slightly better. The mpg is not so bad if you think of the fun factor . Totally depends on how you would use it . I work from home 95% of the time and have another car so won’t be running up a silly mileage on the Maserati although at the moment it is hard to walk past it and drive anything else on my drive . Potential scary bills yes but the way I look on it is it has probably done all of its depreciation to offset that slightly. The ISF is not immune to potential big bills either - albeit less likely .

There are a few common issues that seem to affect most of them but almost a week now and enjoying the experience so far . If you are seriously looking at any point in future drop me a message and I will try and give you the benefit of the research I did .

Good to hear a positive experience ! It certainly has attracted a lot of attention and seems to get a lot more heads turning than the ISF ever did -not saying that's necessarily a good thing - I liked the stealth factor with the ISF . Will be interesting to see how it does compare longer term .

Yes it is a late 2007 pre facelift Sport GT with auto 6speed ZF box - not the duo select .

After selling my ISF last year I have been running about in a wee Toyota starlet turbo - which I love but needed a bigger car for occasional use and longer journeys so after much research and swallowing a few brave pills took the step into Maserati ownership .

You are going to have to change your user name - or really you should have done 4 years ago . Congrats on the new RX

Yea sorry Jez . Didn’t realise .
