Hi all
Been lurking for a while.
I currently drive a 2005 BMW 645ci and (like many others, I'm sure) have reached the point of giving up on such an expensive vehicle to run.
I can usually get no more than 15-16MPG in town and with fuel prices rocketing plus increases in congestion charging and road tax on the way, I think it's time I went for something just a little more sensible.
From what I can gather, the 450h seems to be the only car around that fits the bill: Fast, luxurious, more fuel efficient, more environmentally sound and equally if not more refined.
I'm wondering if anyone here has switched from a 6 series BMW (or similar) and what your impressions are?
I tested a 450h last week and I must say I was extremely impressed. The ride was slightly harder than I was expecting from a Lexus but still smoother than the BMW (which also has run flats).
I drive with a light foot in town. (No point racing to get to red lights!) What kind of consumption do you think I might expect from the Lex?
Also, one other question....Are the headlights automatic? (ie come on in low light automatically)
Many thanks!
