After 12 months and about 10,000 miles I thought I'd scribble a few notes on how it's gone so far.
Depreciation: Probably around £2,000 which is about what I expected
Other costs: Service including new brakes (discs front, pads all round) £660
And petrol of course. I average about 24 MPG on my drive to work and about 32 MPG on a good run. Perfectly acceptable.
Problems: Steering wheel that doesn't return to programmed position.
Warped front discs (common problem I believe)
Paintwork needs reviving
Driving: Fairly comfartable and fairly quiet. I've had more confortable and quieter cars but the Lex is fine. Performance good but handling is best not mentioned!!
Over all I'm satisfied with the car and will certainly keep it another year.
