Your first point is fundamentally flawed and inaccurate. If you had been bothered to digest my comment you may have noticed that I said that I am not against criticism of our cars. Your second point about sitting on the fence is also flawed as I did not make any opinion of where I sit with regards to the changes. As a cyclist, a pedestrian and a driver I can see a plethora of boundaries rather than a single fence. I am a political animal and am always up for intellectual debate. However, I take umbrage at your consistent belief that you are always right. You criticise other members on here who choose a vehicle that you deem insufficient for your needs. Just because you don’t like the ES because you feel that it doesn’t handle well or isn’t fast enough doesn’t make you right. Different people have different needs for their transport. I just hope I don’t encounter you on one of our windy lanes when I’m pootling home in comfort whilst you are testing whatever you’re driving testing it to the limits. This is my first and last personal comment on this site and apologise for it. This is also my last word so please feel free to disagree!

Have been following this ‘debate’ for a while now and have kept quiet. Many interesting and poignant issues have been covered. However it appears to have become a dichotomy between those that agree with linas and those that don’t! He/she does sometimes make some valid points but I also fear that he/she likes to argue for the sake of arguing and always seems to want the ‘last word’. Have always found this to be a friendly site but from experience when folk engage with him it often descends into personal slanging matches. Once that happens ‘the argument’ is lost. I am seeing this more often and it saddens me. I am not woke or unhappy to see justified criticism of our cars but did not join to see rudeness from anyone.

The hold function on my GS keeps the brake lights lit!

Provided there is some sort of concession for people living in rural areas where alternative transport is not available. My nearest shop is two and a half miles away and no bus runs through our village.

Does remote parking also include remote getting it out? If not I guess you’ll only use it once! 😉

Agree with most of this. However, I have a GS300H premier which has many adjustable features. Most of which I’ve set up and never revisited. However, memory seats (for me) are better than sliced bread. My wife and myself have very different skeletal structures. She has gorgeous long slim legs and a lovely taut body I however have stumpy legs and a portly rotund upper half. Due to the ridiculous number of possible permutations of adjustment of the 18 way adjustable seats it took me about six months to get perfectly comfortable. I can live with all the other adjustables but could never lose my memory seats!

I wish!

Definitely an age thing. Was 11 plus in my day!

Interesting discussion. I am an ex ‘petrolhead’ now a relaxing motorist. I occasionally ride a bicycle and have been known to ’take a stroll’. I lived in Pakistan for more than three years, have travelled and worked in South Asia and Africa for much of my working life find it amazing when people complain about the road laws in the uk. Give way to the largest vehicle on the road is the norm in many places and on a personal survival point makes sense! However, is it entirely fair? Everyone has the right ( in the uk at least) to travel from a to b and should be allowed to do that as safely as possible. Most motorists are doing the same. The minority that want to ‘test the limits of their car’ should be allowed the opportunity to do this, but not on a public highway. I have, for a long time, advocated that before being allowed to take a driving test everyone should either be forced to ride a bike or ride a horse on a public highway before being allowed in a motorised vehicle before being allowed behind a wheel. They may then understand the the fears and trepidations of those that choose a different form of transport. However, those that decide to cross a highway with mobile phone in hand, or headphones in, well that’s a different matter!

Unrecognisable acronyms! 😉
