My car is SE-L delivered on 1 Aug and is my second CT. In both cars I and Satnav and DAB installed. No problem.

I had a Gen3 Prius and I believe the whole problem was overhyped because so few people were aware of ABS action and because Toyota were having different PR problems in USA. A slight difference in braking requirement to one or more wheel when a different road surface is crossed causes a momentary activation of ABS. So what? It's what the car is designed to do, though I would rather it re-acted accurately. Because I have experienced it in my CT I will suggest, when the car is serviced, that it is checked. If it can't be adjusted, I'm happy that ABS cuts in sooner rather than too late.

I have the DAB upgrade fitted. I pointed out on previous post that I purchased Finance Manager's car in May, so I suspect that the fitting was done either as factory fit or dockside. I would thoroughly recommend DAB, but of course it all depends on what they charge you. My spec also includes multi-disc CD player with sub-woofer at the back; keyless entry; auto dimming rear-view mirror; parking sensors and camera and satnav. I suspect that this was a factory fit spec to an early delivery.

Like others, I have a total of 3 Prius and watched the build quality deteriorate as Toyota try to make a profit. I had the last one for 18 months before I tested a CT and managed to buy the Finance Manager's car because no new ones were available in May. Disregard the negative comments. I find the car a pleasure to drive though after 'Winter Check Up', petrol consumption has increased more than I would expect in colder temperatures. Lexus build quality is superb and service is excellent. Ask your dealer if they do the complimentary Saturday car wash. The Tyre Pressure monitor is for the US market and not available here - should be deleted in the brochure. I put my mobile phone in the slot in front of the heated seat switches. The only feature I miss is cruise control. Get out and enjoy driving your car Habu
