New Lexus Owner

[Vince Donald]

After trying to decide for probably 2 years what car to get to replace my diesel Honda CRV, I always seemed to come back to the Lexus IS300h.

I was definitely wanting an auto, having previously had a Saab 95 Aero auto, that was a very nice car which I put 100,000 miles on.

Now they don't make Saabs any more, and I'm not massively a fan of BMW, Mercedes even though they were always on my radar.

I think the final nail in the coffin for me getting one of the German cars was that if I had one of those, it would have been a diesel, and its increasingly obvious that diesel is falling out of favour.

So yesterday I picked up a 2 year old IS300h in Messa Red, nice drive home trying to get used to the low driving position having come from an SUV.

Drive down the motorway in the CRV averaged about 38mpg, the drive back, 58mpg, so I'm certainly liking that and its a lot quieter than the CRV too, just like being back in one of my Saabs.

Welcome to the forum Vince.

A similar story here as I recently sold my dependable Honda and jumped on the Lexus bandwagon.

Glad to hear that your initial impressions are positive, I'm sure they'll continue.

Get some pics of your new car online, we like pic's.
