Hi All
I've been lurking on the forum for a number of weeks reading various comments, v.informative
Decided to take the plunge and I have now owned an 06 RX400h for a whole week, bought from a main dealer. To be honest i was looking for either an XC90 or ML but once I test drove the Lexus my mind was made up, it was then just a case of finding one that fitted the budget and mileage.
The good points
1. Smooth
2. Power
3. Economy (ave 34.5mg during first week doing around 400 miles with a mixture of Mway, Town and Country driving)
4. Comfort and toys (sat nav, power boot etc)
5. Adaptive headlights
The bad points
1. No range to empty on the fuel tank (unless i've not found it yet!)
2. No lane change 'quick flick' on the indicators
3. Sat nav/bluetooth cannot be used on the move (I guess an updated DVD may change this, any advice?)
So in summary, on the whole happy with the vehicle but some niggles. I was also disapointed to open the bonnet today to find 5 missing plastic bolts that hold the covering for the Hybrid and Main Engine covers - So much for Lexus' claim that the vehicle is throughly checked before handover - If a mechanic doesn't replace/spot missing screws then I fear for the rest of the PDC!
Having moved from Mercedes to Lexus I'm looking forward to what will hopefully be another 3 yrs of reliable trouble free motoring
