Thanks guys, I'll be honest, not a car I'd really looked at before but now walking around it, it is a nice looking car, as are a lot of the Lexus range. It had to go back to have some back order trim replaced and they leant me a NX, again a nice car. I have looked at some US sites to get more info, I work in engineering so I like to understand how things work, especially the handling in sport+ mode and it's nice to share info on tyres and stuff. And I need to not fixate so much on economy, an enthusiastic 30 mile drive on clear B roads has dropped the average mpg to 27, obviously a car that needs to be enjoyed rather than driven for economy! All in all I'm pleased I chose the car, I've got a few long distance trips coming up and I'm looking forward to see what it's like. And hats off to Lexus dealerships, excellent service + given me a comprehensive price list for servicing and common parts/fitting, my last luxury car was a Honda Legend and I was impressed by their service but I think Lexus beat them.

Hi Everybody, Just bought myself a Lexus and while searching around for stuff about it found this forum. I'll be honest it was a bit of a surprise buy, went to look at a Jag XF at a Lexus dealer and they had this GS450H for about the same price, tried both, both very good but the Lexus seemed a car I'd enjoy driving more. Excuse the photo, in my works car park, and excuse the crude No. plate edit, I'm sure all of you are trustworthy!!! Had it for 3 weeks, great car, very strong acceleration and even with a little heavy right foot still getting about 34mpg, for one slow journey and gentler driving in traffic it gave me 48mpg on a 25 mile trip. From a 3.5l engine isn't bad but it was on battery a lot. After some haggling the dealer threw in 2 years extended Lexus warranty along with their standard 1 year so also has 3 years warranty. The reason for my searching around when I found this forum, I can't find too much about the car, a few road tests, mostly saying the BMW 5 series is better but most auto journalists always seem to fall on the side of German cars, I have owned some and wouldn't agree. Can anyone point me towards any interesting sites, are their accessories, mods etc that are worth looking at? Thanks.
