Yes, it's £145 a year, there is a £10 discount for hybrids.

My 2wd Takumi was registered in March 2019, one of the first batch delivered, and was under £40k including the extra for metallic paint so I pay standard rate tax. I don't know when the price went over £40k.

We had a similar problem a few weeks ago at 7 years and 50,000 miles. As we were due to be going on a week long road trip, for peace of mind I had a new 12v battery fitted by Lexus Wolverhampton who charged £125 all in including fitting which I thought reasonable.

Not immediately when the lights come on but it does have a black background when it gets a bit darker, same as with the IS. Is yours bright all the time?

John, I beleive the dealer can get a manual but I downloaded them from Lexus UK here: https://www.lexus.co.uk/owners/about-my-lexus/manuals/#hero and use the search tool as the UX doesn't appear on the list below. The UX does have deadlocking on the second press of the key or door handle. The door unlocking can be customised as per this extract from the manual, I left mine at all doors unlock so haven't tried it.

Did you not get any manual at all? Mine came with an abridged hard copy manual (about 100 pages).

The UX also has the same new 2 litre hybrid as the Corolla and there is virtually no 'lag'. We still have the IS and it's great for wafting but the UX is way better cutting through traffic.

Mine came with two abreviated manuals in the glovebox, one for the car and one for the audio/nav but I also downloaded the full versions from the Lexus website.

I noticed there seems to be a lot of space down there. All my usual junk i carry around fitted in the tray, leaving the main boot empty, so i didn't investigate further but its useful to know it's there.

A lot of cars don't even have a single CD player, someone was asking on Honest John today if they could get an add on CD player for their new Focus.

UX is the same so I would guess it also applies to the ES.

It appears to be on the voice command list in the full UX manual: Must admit I haven't tried it myself.

Just been out and tried that, unfortunately doesn't switch it off.

Our 2014 Luxury with Premium Nav (mouse operated) has had both camera and sensors from new so I'm not sure why they said only one or the other. Possibly if the car has standard Nav (dial operated) it can only have camera or sensors.

I get a dry throat from a/c if its on too long, either in the car or in work. As a result I only use it if its really hot or to demist in humid conditions.
