Farewell to the old warhorse... and hello to the new kid.

An inspiration series? Nice! -
This is correct. Retro fit is ONLY us market as I understand if. UK has a different head unit apparently.
-
Would love to see photos?
-
Wait till you see it in direct sunlight. The colour will pop (might need a polish though!). Congrats.
-
If it’s electric don’t believe the range. I thought it was shocking.

Self steery-ness capabilities and sleeping while driving…

It is at best a gentle nudge to remind you it thinks the lane boundary is approaching. Nothing like auto steer on say a Tesla which is brilliant on motorways and dual carriageways. You absolutely can’t drive hands free, it won’t turn the steering enough to do anything meaningful. Personally I think this is better this way as others have said, all these systems give you a false sense of confidence and absolutely, and proactively, will be happy to steer into or over a pothole without a care for your lovely alloys. I leave it off as I find it annoying but the radar cruise is brilliant and smooth. -
Ditto. Up for this. Even up for a mini road trip in easter…
-
Was it covered by the dealer? Keen to know where they stand on this.
-
The owner of this channel managed a far better deal. Something to keep in mind.
-
The refurbed wheel in case anyone was wondering. Taken in my garage so not the best lighting. You would fine it hard to tell it’s been refurbed/painted.
-
Like infrared and Sonic Red. I’m sure Nori Green and Terrane Khaki are identical. I’m guessing it’s also a 7 stage paint colour.
-
Alex, with such provenance, it may just increase in value! I love that brown interior. Stunning. I’ve never seen a nori green in the flesh, I bet it’s ace in the sunlight.
-
Mixing things up…. I love the inside too!
-
Agreed and the right choice. Exactly why I was turned off. I will post photos of my refurbed wheel but honestly, nothing to see as you would never know.
-
2020. About 9000 ish miles. I’ll take a seat in it this evening. I’m I just trying to rock back and forth?
-
Can you replicate it when the car is not moving? Looking at the other forums some are suggesting it needs new rails?
-
No movement at all in mine.
-
On the refurb, Lexus Leicester used the place in Coventry on my car. They are as good as new. The company needed about a week though. That is where I will go directly now if I have issues.
-
Ditto - offered to me, I took it, then requested a refund as our alloys would not be covered (if they are the chrome type, black inspiration are painted so are probably okay). Also - it’s not a Lexus product but a 3rd party, that wasn’t made clear to me. I like the idea of a one stop shop and dealing with the dealer not an independent 3rd party….
-
What are your thoughts so far vs the hybrid? I imagine the hybrid feels a little less lazy in the lower RPMs?
-
It’s the same. Mine needed one heck of a polish from the dealer but it came out really well.
-
Congrats on the purchase! It will be even more of a head turner in that colour (what colour was the h?).
-
What I really love about the sonic red is how it gives the illusion of glowing. The multi coat paint is sure something. Not just a “regular” metallic but it has so many different hues. I’ve had a lot of compliments just on the paint colour.
