.... and hello RX400h!

Over the moon with it! What a brilliant car....

Had to make the change for a more pratical motor on the loading space, but did not want to lose performance and Lexus quality, so got the RX400h!

So I am round the corner in the RX400 bit of the forum! :)

Well done mate - the refinement of the RX is to die for.

Congrats!

Let us know if it rattles :shutit:

Well two rattles have occured so far, the rear roller blind was not clipped in properly, so that was fixed easy and the rear seat belt clip was not stored properly, so, so far so good.

The loan RX I had, had a few squeaks and rattles.

There's hope then :o

It is the only other Lexus I would consider from the current crop...let us know how your fuel economy bears up compared to the IS250

Well on the use I have of the car, I used to average 25 - 26mpg on the IS250.

So far on the RX I am averaging exactly the same!

But I have been unable to resist that lovely growl of the engine and have been putting in the full BHP here and there quite a bit!

My father has a 2005 RX300. Had to go in for rattles from the boot lid. Also watch out for the top flat area of the rear bumper when you are putting things in and out of the back. I scratches easily. He went into them and insisted they fit a cover which is actually an option.
