My 2011 takes full post code, but you have to go to page 2 of address input to get it. Are you sure you don't have this? Yep! Just traded in our 2011 Premier for a new F sport and during the exchange the salesman informed me about "PAGE 2" of the sat navs Post Code page??? Owned the Premier for r 2.5 years not knowing that "Page 2" existed DOE! You're probably not the only one, so don't feel too bad. TBH, I only found out here myself, I think.

Thanks for confirming that Matt. Autoglass said the same. I never noticed the front windows being darker than the windscreen before though. I must be going senile...

Hi, Does any one know if the CT has different tint shades for the windscreen/front windows? The reason I ask is because I had my windscreen replaced yesterday by Autoglass. They did use a genuine Lexus screen but when I sit in the car now, the windscreen seems to have slightly less tint than the front side windows - I'm not sure if it's just me but I never had that impression with the original windscreen. The car is clean and so I don't think that's the reason! I have asked the parts guy at my local dealer if there are different tints for different models, but he didn't think so. Anyway, Autoglass have said they will send a guy round to have a look, but I'm not sure if he will agree....

Yes, the fact that it wasn't a hybrid may have played a part - I've become so used to hybrids now, 'normal' cars just seem so old fashioned. However, I think I was most disappointed with the dash layout in the GS. It seemed so uninteresting compared to the CT, very sparse and dull, it just didn't seem to be as nice a place to be in.

Just wanted to share my thoughts with anybody interested about my experience with the GS250 that I was given as a courtesy car whilst my CT was in for it's year 2 service. Maybe I was a bit put off that the GS I was provided with wasn't as clean as my car usually is, but I wasn't as impressed with it as I thought I would be. Yes, it was more spacious, and the engine more refined. I liked the automatic parking brake (you didn't have to do anything, just switch on and shift to Drive to start and shift to Park to engage), also the display showed audio, nav and climate control settings all at the same time, and the indicator had the tap for three blinks when switching lanes which I l had on a previous C Class. The best thing though, was the much reduced road noise compared to the CT, it was very relaxing both cruising down the motorway and trundling along in town. However, despite all this, I was still happy to get back into my CT afterwards. It just felt more 'me'.... I thought I might be tempted to upgrade, but thankfully (for my bank balance) it really was good to have my own car back

Same here. I thought I had missed something!

I think the website is a bit confusing. It does list cc under se-l but has a dash next to it instead of the word standard. Adaptive cruise is an extra cost option on the premier.

Haven't seen the latest brochure but the website states cruise is only on se-l prem and not se-l I'm afraid.

Yes I've always liked driving a car that's a bit more 'exclusive', too, although there seem to be a few more around now. To be fair though, most people who have already bought one will have positive things to say, on the whole. But everyone has different needs and standards and are entitled to their own opinions. I'm thinking I may be missing something now and if the ride is really that harsh! But as I said I didn't think it was that bad compared to other cars I've driven. I also used to drive an A-Class avant garde and I test drove an SLK - now they were FIRM!

OK, I have had my CT for over a year (just had my first service last month). I love the car and for me, the ride is fine, even on the 17" wheels. I actually also test drove the 16" wheels before I bought and tbh, I found them to be a bit 'wallowy' - it was like sitting on marshmallows and I thought the 17" wheels were preferable, both comfort-wise and aesthetically. But the wheel size definitely made a noticeable difference imho. I previously had the RX400h and of course the CT is not as luxurious and soft as that but I didn't find the transition too great a leap. Steppy, I notice you are in Hampshire, also. Did you go to the Hedge End dealership?

I wouldn't say all the reviews are bad. However all that matters is whether the owners like the car and from the ct owners forums, most seem to love their cars. For example, its supposed to have a firm ride, but IMHO it really isn't any firmer than most cars I've driven (including the prius). Also, it is every bit a Lexus as my previous car prior to the Prius which was an RX400h. So don't read too much into what motoring journos have to say.

Yes I too had a gen 3 Prius and like you could not live with the rubbish interior and rattles. I still like the look of the Prius but the CT is superior on so many other ways. You won't regret it.

Actually I had an RX400h for four years from new and ok, th CT is not quite as good as that but it is not meant to be. I am very happy with the CT and dint think the interior that much cheaper than in my RX. But that's just my opinion.

The same happened to me on my first Merc, but I was teaching at the time and so at least it's sort of understandable with schoolkids. Fortunately, the culprit was caught and I got the caps back, however my next purchase was a set of cheap plastic ones. :) I no longer teach so I haven't done the same yet but am now rethinking this!
