  1. We all know that manuals are rubbish. NOTHING in my manual about this. My previous Lexus had a slot into which you inserted the removed key and twisted. This doesn't. No video on line of this, either. I worked it out by messing. It's dead easy.
  2. My best was 61mpg on a long trek where I kept max to 100kph. On Irish motorways max is 120kph = 75mph.
  3. ES. I had the IS for 3y. ES is more economical.
  4. By full to full measurement and according to car, it's done 57mpg measured over 835km. In Ireland cars show km but the conversion is easy. Car is 4y old. Low mileage
  5. That's what was reported. I think you could (from previous proper test, empty to empty vs reported consumption in previous IS300h) take 3mpg off this. It's still amazing. Car is ES300h 2019 model. I heard an Irish chap living in England and working for Honda, talk about how to save fuel and he said to reduce speed on the motorway, and generally, and that modest enough reductions can have a big effect, as well as usual coasting, easy on pedals etc. I normally do the latter but tend to drive at speed limit on motorways. I had to drive this distance in the last three days. About a third was motorway. Here in Ireland Limit is 120kph (75mph) so I drove this at 65mph, and on good secondary roads, the limit is 100kph (62) so I tended to keep that at about 55 ish. Some of the roads were poorish country roads, a bit up and down and drove them at appropriate speeds. The temp was up to 12c. Car contained myself and my wife and some suitcases. I'm over 13st and she's about a slim woman of about 5'5". I never accelerate hard unless it's appropriate. My usual consumption is usually over 50mpg in town or country.
  6. The GPS programme is lousy compared to Google maps which I can run by plugging my phone in through Android. However, I like a challenge and people were complaining about their inability to enter co-ordinates in the Lexus system. You actually can, BUT there's a problem. To enter the co-ordinates enter search on sidebar. (You can't do this with vocal recognition). Then address. Then down from that you see coordinates. Chose decimal and get plus... Here's the glitch... my first one is 52/.0804... Then negative and it's -8.something. Have to enter -008something. THe point gets put in after 3 digits.. The problem is the system puts in 52.804 and an initial 0 here is deleted. I tried 1 and it was retained but no matter how many times I enter 52.0804 it finishes up as 52.804 Which takes me to the wrong place. The second co-ordinate is preserved as entered. Turned car off and back in. Remains. Has anyone else dicovered this?
  7. You don't get a spacesaver tyre in the ES300h in Ireland, though the space is there for it. Does anyone know the specs of this wheel? My car has 17 inch wheels. Thanks in anticipation.
  8. So it is! You're a star. When I rang the garage (A Lexus garage) they didn't know about this! Thank you. Great info.
  9. I know how to take the key out of the fob and have done it several times, but I didn't know about this keyway. There is a button on the right inside rim of the glove compartment. I'll check out this keyway..
