Hi there,
Just taken ownership of an 07 RX400h SR this morning from Lexus Coventry and I have to say, the customer service levels are excellent.
I was trading in my 07 IS250 Sport and had 4 of the Coventry team dealing with me throughout the process. Great trade-in price and impeccable service for picking up the RX - from the full valet, full tank of fuel, to the 24 months warranty (due to high mileage) and 24 months roadside assistance.
I can't speak highly enough about the team there - my local Lexus dealer is Chester and they're pretty damn awesome too!
Initial thoughts on the RX:
* After the gadgets, keyless entry and ignition of the 250 I was trying to manage my own expectations... but the RX is a joy to drive, excellent handling, with the upgraded multimedia kit, full leather and sat nav.
* I'm based in the North West so still trying to figure out how to achieve the best fuel consumption - I only managed 26mpg average on the M6 - however, I was bombing along a bit...
* Amazingly quiet - can hardly hear the engine and the cabin quality is brilliant
* Driving position is great and power is quick and punchy once the right foot is planted down
Couple of questions:
* I want to get ipod integration so what's the best option - Lexus own or other? And where's best to get it fitted (in North West)?
* Parking distance assistance is something I want to get fitted - is this an easy fit for a dealer and how much am I looking at?
I can't compliment the RX400h SR enough at this point, it's pretty damned impressive!
