  1. Hi Doog, Been on hols so couldn't comment but Great choice done a few thousand in mine now and just cant stop smiling, if you cruise at 60 in eco you can get a staggering 50mpg but then why would you buy the 200T and have it in ECO? LOL, enjoy :)
  2. Hi I am confused:) on the customer portal the nav update is free or have I missed something? ....which I probably have? :)
  3. Thought I would share this piccy fro Goodwood festival of Speed
  4. I've had my 200t for a week now and had a 500 mile round trip to Blackburn so I had a play with the three driving modes to see what the consumption was like. Here are the results ECO mode Driving inside lane M6 at 60 mph (sorry that's not normal but was early so driving slow) but I got around 50mpg! at 70-80 that dropped to 42/44 after Reset Normal mode Just driving normally 70-80 getting about 37/38mpg varied as I was in traffic Sport mode well its fun but consumption does get hit 26 mpg ish
  5. Hiya, Sorry me again, on my IS250 I replaced most of the bulbs with LED's which really improved the quality of light especially the mirror and doors. Does anyone have a full bulb list or knows where I can get a kit for the 200t or can I assume that they must be the same as the IS300? Col
  6. @capese21 thanks that's where I was looking both better than grey :)
  7. I don't disagree but there is a carbon fibre look alike which I think may look better, especially as the interior has carbon fibre look alike Col
  8. Thanks guys, is it easy to take off and what is underneath i.e. clips or is it just stuck on
  9. Hi Well it arrived :) and I love it! but would have like to replace the grey bumper protector sometime? so anyone know where I can get a bumper protector that's not grey? Carbon fibre or metal would be nice? tried searching for one but looks like they don't exists :( Col
  10. Hi Guys, Great forum and comment, Well I was going to go away from Lexus having had in order. An IS200, IS300, IS250, IS250 Sport, then an IS250F Sport, because I didn't really like the drive of the hybrid, then I drove the 200T WOW! that changed my mind. I have only had two test drives but it is much more powerful than the 250 and handles far better, seem Lexus have the Centre of Gravity spot on? Anyway loved it so much... Yes you guessed it Lexus number 6 arrives on Friday IS200T FSport in White :) will let you know how I get on Col
  11. Hi, Sorry cant help you with the oil thing but if you want yo can stop your doors automatically locking, Its explained in your manual in section 1-2 around page 48 (but thats the manual for the auto so may not be exactly the same) the option for the auto are you can turn it off Change it so it locks them when you take it out of park and Unlocks when put into park or all doors are unlocked when the drivers door is opened within 10 secs of turning engine off Col
  12. Hi, Sorted out the Hyjack mode, you can turn it off if you wish but it actually has two modes one is speed set the other is when park is selected which is the one I have just changed it to. Now when I take it out of park the doors lock but when I put it in park the doors unlock. Will take some piccies when the sun comes out Col
  13. Hi all, As Promised an update on the Sport Auto: It Exists! Well I picked it up a couple of hours ago and I am still grinning, cus its just georgeous (in my opinion) Spec Wise versus my old SE-L Auto Interior Same as SE-L except..... Not Leather seats but better sides on seat that hold you in better, slightly smaller headrests giving better visibility from back. No cooled seats heated only but then again no tiny holes for those little white bits of fluff to get stuck in Lexus have scolloped the front seats at the back and changed the map holder thingy, which has really increased the leg room in the back my son who is normally in the back of the SE-L says its a great improvement. Its a bit difficult to see in the Piccies below (old one first) but the seat goes in further than it did before hardly noticable but make a big difference. No Wood but then it is a sport No lit scuff plates Sports pedals and foot rest in stainless Car auto locks when you get above 5 Mph, Nice touch for stopping Hyjackers but I live in Dorset! probably look in the manual and swithch it off If I can Handling Same as SE-L except.... The ride is slighly harder due to the lower profile tyres which are in fact 10mm wider than on the SE-L (255 not 245) Whilst its really difficult to tell since this is new and my SE-L had 47K on the clock, the sports suspension seems to have less roll when cornering and generally feels better, but the ride is harder (thats lexus harder) which is still luxurious. The wheels are 18" and not as shown in most showrooms where they are silver they are in fact more gun metal in colour Piccies below again not easy to see but on the car much nicer Other than that its just about the same anyway to be honest and dont take this personal I have got better things than write this ...................and its currently sat on the drive :D if you have any other questions more than happy to oblige or if I discover anything else I will add to my post see ye Col
  14. Yep if you sit in the car and press lock it does, its the only possible way it could of happened ie pressing the key inside the car. Supporting my theory is that when I tried pressing the black button on the doorhandle (hey I was trying everything) it beeped which suggests it knew the key was in the car. There is however another possibility..... which is a bit scary, I am due to trade it in in the next few weeks for a new one... perhaps it knew and was trying to teach me a lesson perhaps I will walk everywhere for the next three weeks...
