I dont understand why they can't just give you a "Lexus Essential Care" stamp instead?

Yes they put the panoramic sunroof just before the car went on sale in the UK but it wasn't on the original spec sheets. Worth seeing what Mr Stanley says lol

Do the F-Sport's have ML though? I might be able to live without HUD but its still a PITA. OK so with regards to NX marketing, it was popular demand that brought the panoramic sunroof in. Ive been told to contact Jason Stanley, Lexus UK Product Marketing Manager as they are open to changes if customers demand it so Ive sent him a message. In regards to the price hike - its going to be fully loaded so I guess its to be expected - ive been told the quality of the interior was very good and so was the driving experience - how did you find it in Vienna?

No HUD? WTF? I'm presuming it'll be added later on?So basically they increased the price and took HUD off? That's brilliant

Heard the news? Tesla S has been hacked already lol. Apparently it's quite easy to do as well

well, thither is this thing, about 5cm in diameter and the factory usually stick t on the bonnet. at which hour the peasants see this 5cm circle, those gents shake and shiver as they believeth their king hath cometh Total bulls testicles of course lol

Isnt that what you want? to change the seat as a good will gesture? That suggests they're paying for it right?

Colin is correct. BBS make the F-Sport wheels and if im not mistaken enkei make some others. Im sure there's other manufacturers making the wheels too but those are the 2 main ones

No paint code for any Lexus wheels. It's actually not one colour. There's a black coat underneath the silver coat to make it look how it does. Only way is a full refurbishment

Why would you need a 6 month oil change? Modern oils are capable of going way more than 6 months/5k miles. They can essentially go up to 15k miles. Ive seen an RX300 which went pop after 50k miles due to no oil change lol

1 - yes it's 2015. Not sure if you realised but the RX450h has been out for 6 years and a new RX is coming out this year so we aren't talking about a new car here. 2 - the 450h does not suffer from these battery problems. I've left my car for 4 weeks every winter for the last 3 years and it starts fine. 3 - you're plucking figures out of the sky. The 400h wasn't anywhere near the region of £50k, the current RX is and its the most reliable car in its class - period - no ifs no buts, it just is. If there was a major issue, we'd know about it as Lexus sells 100k RXs annually in the US alone

Nice scuff! Looks almost like mine lol! You'd have to get all 4 done mate if you want them all the same. Otherwise, get 2 done on the same side. The standard f sport ones are difficult to match although some dealers have got the hang of it now. However, yours are a whole different ball game. Basically you have 2 paints on one wheel which give the black chrome effect. You could opt to leave them be, let the front wheel get dirty and it'll blend in. I've just left mine and the wheels have been fine over 3 years. With those wheels I'd wait till you get some damage on the others and do all of them when they get really really bad

Which dealer? Nah just say it's a fault in the seat and you'll contact Lexus UK if not resolved. Just give them a hard time lol

2.5 years - definitely. I usually recommend 1 year for a clay job so it should have a lot of crud on it. Even the new cars need clay barring sometimes due to transport wax. Never used it myself but it gets decent reviews

Yeah no problems - grit comes off the mitts well as the compound is slightly different - Ive tested it out btw lol. If theyd been one use only, itd be a different story

Im still grabbing one though albeit an ex-demo lol The essentials servicing is good value IMO. Especially considering Kwik Fit charge £150 for intermediate service - that was 5 years ago on my RX300. They charge £118 for my wife's Merc with a manager discount LOL!

Yep, pretty good spec and a good colour combo too Ive heard the RC-F's in the states are having leather issues - specifically, the seatbelt rubs on the leather seat and goes through after 5-6k miles. Some have had stuck spoilers too but they've managed to fix that one. The leather issue is frightening though, after 30k you'd have a hole in the seat

NX is not much bigger than the IS at all. Cars always look huge in the showroom for some reason. Personally, Im not a huge fan of the CT, I dont think it drives as well as the IS and have never considered it to be a true Lexus as it shares a LOT of underpinnings with the Prius and Auris. The IS is a step up from the CT no doubt - You wont look back!

You may use the clay mitt if you drop it. They're washable unlike clay bars. Just put into a bucket of water and clean it out.

Just thought I'd add my RX450H for reference. 218 mile trip to Birmingham and back. Whole trip was in Sport mode with 3 adults, one very big "child" of 16 years and a 5 year old + my wife's extra baggage about 20kg worth. Also full tank of fuel. Speed was about 70-80mph but was naughty and hit 100mph after becoming annoyed by the 50mph roadworks. 34mpg!! Didn't even try lol Considering some of you get that in the NX I'm quite chuffed with myself

Drove to Birmingham and back so 218 miles altogether. Whole trip was in Sport mode at 70-80mph although I hit 100mph once after I got annoyed with the roadworks. Got 34mpg which I was extremely pleased with as I had 5 people in the car and maybe an extra 20kg from all the crap that my wife brings along

No worries, Ive not started it yet due to work and kids being off school on weekends so days out etc etc. However, once I get started I can't stop so should have it done in 2 hours or so next week

Saw 1 IS300H SE Arctic pearl in Birmingham today, two blue IS300H F sport heading towards the north before 11 am and one white f sport heading towards Birmingham

Still there - apparently its normal or something what not! Basically they said it's the pads wearing past a certain point which let's them move around a bit. Nothing to worry about but should go away if pads are changed

Outdated version already mate :P - I already uploaded it on the first post like a week ago via link but just found the attach button so here you go. It now has hyperlinks in the PDF to help you navigate quickly! Just click on what you want to look at on the first page!
