  1. Hi all, I have been a member on here for some time, I have owner two gen 1 IS200’s in the past and have toyed with the idea of GS and LS in the past. Now looking to move away from my dirty 12 year old VW diesel, that has served me well and would like move back to a petrol or even a hybrid. Specially now I have reduced my commute to 30 miles a day for work and that diesel is 30p more expensive compared to petrol it would not cost as much to run a petrol. Has anyone driven all variants of the 3rd Gen IS200t/250/300H? If we had the choice of the 350 it would be a no brainer for me but we dont have that luxury here in the UK, I am also considering a JDM Toyota crown with the 3.5L V6. Has anyone driven all three variants? I have driven a 2nd 250 and would expect the 3rd gen it to be similar. What’s the 200T like, I have watched a few youtube review’s and all mention there is a big amount of turbo lag? There doesnt seem to much information about remapping? If I wanted to go that way. Then there is a hybrid what I am leaning towards as I think its a sensible step before we all move over to EV’s in the next 10-20 years. MPG is not a massive deal breaker for me, I am just after a very usable and reliable car.
  2. Hi all, i am currently doing some research into the Toyota crown GRS204, currently thinking of importing one later in the year. Just wondering if anyone knows if the parts are common to any UK Toyota/Lexus? I know IS250 parts can be used for a Mark X and some IS200/300 parts can used on the older S170 Crown.
  3. I over took an ISF on the A47 last week, then noticed it was behind me on the NDR around the North side of Norwich. I pulled into the left hand lane and opened my window so I could hear it i let it go past. Sounded awesome 👍🏻
  4. I was looking these today, i like them alot would be interested in finding one with the 3.5L V6 that is found in the IS350 that we dont get here.
  5. Its a small world, earlier in the week i went out to my car at work, on the way i looked over to the next row of cars and see your LS parked in the same car park as mine. 👍
  6. I am in Norwich. But commute to near Wymondham everyday for work. I see some Ls430’s, the other morning on my drive into work I saw a LS460 and a LS600h. I am currently considering getting back into a Lexus and have always wanted a LS.
  7. Interesting question. Until they force a massive increase on fuel and tax i will keep with a ICE vechile as long as possible. I have been in a few electric cars now and they are very souless.
  8. I have traveled for cars in the past, now a days i limit myself to about 100 miles as i have wasted time doing this in the past but i have also bought a couple of cracking cars in the past for traveling.
  9. Thats not a bad idea at all mate. One of the issues i have been finding is all the RX400h and RX450h for sale are about 50+ miles away
  10. Hi everyone, i am looking about getting back into the lexus fold, i have had my BMW V8 fun and the 650I is no longer going to be practical enough due work relocating later in the year and needing to get estate or SUV as i will need the load space. Shame Lexus doesn't make a large estate car, but they make the RX hybrid, what is great as i don't need to go down the diesel route??? I haven't actually been to see and sit in one yet. But i have alway admired them, when i see one. I have seen a few that i am tempted to go look at, there is a 400h SE at a Lexus Ipswich what is only 45 miles away up around 8K with 120k on the clock, this seems to be expensive considering the miles? But it is a used Lexus approved car. There are a couple other for around that price with fewer miles say 80k at an independent dealers or i can cough up an extra 2k and get one from Lexus with those kind of miles and SE-L trim. The other question is, is it worth trying to get 450h over a 400h? Pro and cons for either would be good cheers.
  11. Yeah one of the lads i work with claims he got caught like this and i would not be surprised if they do instantly change either.
  12. I tend to stick to limit on smart motor ways, i know to many people who have been done my them, not worth the risk. Average speed camera section's i also tend to stick to the limit, but i do not know anyone who has been caught by these and understand your frustration. The question to ask your self is worth the risk....?
  13. I have recently changed back to a BMW, Mercedes, Volvo and VW where also on my radar. I am sure i will find my way back to Lexus in the near future.
