Simon Really don't worry about the charge level, they rarely reach full and normally stop 2 notches from the top. I have owned my 450h for a month now and for the first time since ownership it reached Max (the colour turns green on the main screen), I was so shocked to see it I felt like talking a photo:-)! Town driving 29mpg 40mpg on a motorway run. Try that power button, go on I know you want to;-) and then like me try the light foot electric only driving for the rest of the tank to recover your consumption figures! Kevin

Mr. Shades I suspect you hit the nail on the head, the iphone was in the centre console, at least I will not leave it behind again!:-)

Thanks Tony I will but tne alarm went off quite a while after I locked the car.... The car is great but I am still nervous of using the power switch, I nearly had a coronary the first time I turned it on and floored the throttle in a country lane, I hit 120 in seconds and had some horse riders I overtook shaking their fists! Thankfully the wife wasn't in the car!

Very nice must let us know first impressions etc in June!

Well I'm impressed it did that, more than I can say for the 70k Range Rover!

I agree it is unusual for a windscreen to effect your ncb, however it is still treated as a claim so could effect your renewal premium...

Picked up my 450h 2007 model last week having come back to the Lexus fold after selling my sc430 6 years ago, must say the sc430 was the best car I ever owned even after going through an s type jag and a Range Rover Project Khan. The 450h has put a smile back on my face truly amazing straightline acceleration coupled to fuel consumption that no longer has me camping in petrol stations aka the Range Rover! The icing on the cake was in the week when I parked the car at my local seafront, I locked the vehicle and walked about 30 yds away and the alarm went off. There were a few people around and my wife reckoned they had activated the sensors. I used the remote to unlock and relock the vehicle where I stood (that alone was exceptional range) and walked on, the alarm sounded again. I thought oh no I have purchased a car with a dodgy/hypersensitive alarm. I went back and got in the car to investigate only to realise I had left my iphone in the car plugged into the power socket in the glovebox! Yes the car was actually telling me I had left the phone in the car on charge!!! Needless to say I took the phone with me and the car settled down for a quick nap in the comfort of knowing it had just saved it's new owner either a stolen phone or a flat battery, that reminded me why I love Lexus:-)

Sorry i'm a newbie and only got my gs450h last week (2007) model, how do you bluetooth stream from the iphone app to the radio? I worked out how to bluetooth connect the phone for calls but have not seen a sreaming option on the car?
