Lexus Ls430

[martin.sach]

Hello everyone,

I was going to get the LS400, (thanks for the great info on this fourm)

but gonna loan it up and go for the second gen LS430.

a couple of questions for the experts.

Double glazing, is it on the second gen models??

Best tyres for comfort and less noise?

Premium petrol (Tesco 99, Shell V Power 99). does the car recognise the upgraded petrol and adjust the cars settings like on some bmw's??

Once again Thank you for your time

Martin.

Hi Martin and welcome to the Club.

Single glazing with laminated glass to protect against UV rays

Over the years I have had Bridgestones, Michelins, Pirellis and have just fitted Dunlops. Pleased with them all. Any quality tyres will be good.

I use Tesco premium and sometimes Tesco regular. I think any noticeable difference is 'in the mind'

Good luck with your search and purchase.

Dont let BMW fool you into thinking they have smart cars....

The engine 'recognises' the better grade fuel because it burns better and is therefore more responsive

You can put the odd tank of cheapo in as long as you have some good gear left in the tank and top up with good dtuff before it runs out...

i've never known anybody to have issues with cheap stuff as most folks i know use it all the time.

I try to put good stuff in 8/10 times but this bloody government keeps those taxes so high 1.15 is blinkin theft.

Before all this banking fiasco, we were told the barrels had come down in price so exactly why is it that our fuel is still going up?
