Yes,15 months here but it is a great car. 😀

I must say that they don't bother me at all (I also live in a very rural area). The NX300h had very poor restoration of main beam when turning into a dark lane which I found to be much more of a problem. I am glad to say that the NX350h has much faster response when the headlamps are in AHBC mode.

I don't know if anyone remembers the Schwarzenegger film The Running Man? On the original version was a short scene (removed later) at the start pretending to be an advert as part of the TV program of the film's subject. The ad was for a car security system which converted the driving seat of your car to an electric chair if you tried to drive away without the correct key. Just priceless.

My firm supplies jump start units to the AA and we have it on good authority that the major reason for call outs on BEVs and Hybrids is the 12V battery being flat. The manufacturers have been just too penny pinching with the Ah capacity of the 12V (or to save weight).

Only the hands...?

I am not as tight as you in my garage but I use two house bricks on an old carpet to position my LC exactly every time and should work in forwards or reverse. This method seems repeatably accurate to about 1 cm. The carpet is to stop the bricks shifting on the garage floor.

I think the remote heating is only 10 minutes on the 350h as it has a smaller battery. The 450h will be able to support the seat heaters and screen/mirror heaters for longer.

The LC is 1920mm wide or 2168 over the mirrors. I have a double garage and park mine in the centre so that I can get out when I open the doors. 😀

I can hardly believe that I have had my LC500 for 6 years now. I took it for its "big" service the other day at Hedge End and I thought others might like to know the cost involved. My bill was about £850 all in to include: - loan car (new RX450h - (a bit ugly IMO) - all standard service items - wheel alignment check (no adjustment required) - 8 spark plugs changed - diff oil change - brake fluid replaced - general health check - MOT (no advisories) - another year of warranty (LSAW) - wash and vacuum I thought this not too bad compared to some previous "fast cars" that i have owned and it runs as smoothly as ever. I hope this might be of interest to owners of newer cars who might want to hang on to them a bit longer.

I can't comment on on the later suspension revisions but my 2018 LC500 rides pretty comfortably and, of course, you have AVS so you can use Comfort Mode if you want. Regarding the Sport Plus additions, I have driven cars both with and without the LSD and RWS. On the road there is precious little difference that I could detect. If you want to take the car on the track then you might get an improvement to lap times. Versus the LSD, the traction control takes care of wheelspin and do you really want to drift round roundabouts on the public highway?

After you get the second key the car keeps displaying a "New Key Registered" message when you get in. Does anyone know how to supress this or does it just disappear eventually?

I know that this is a bit basic but do you leave the aircon on all the time? This usually dries out the air within the car and thus prevents misting up and condensation. We have no issues with our NX350h with H&V on "Auto". Beware, there is a setting which defaults the aircon off in the auto mode.

As most of the countries taking in stolen vehicles have LHD cars, you might think that our RHD models would be less attractive.

You also have to laugh at their geographical knowledge. Lexus Bournemouth is actually in Poole.

Does the TSK mean that devices such as Carista will not work? Do you have to go to a dealer to update anything?
