  1. My mum had one of these in the 70s...
  2. I'm thinking about getting one of these as I think they look better than the black on white huge GB stickers... although I am aware that they are not legal. Does anyone else use one of these? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neo-Graphix-CHROME-EFFECT-STICKER/dp/B07CSZZ9Z7/ref=sr_1_23?dchild=1&keywords=gb+sticker&qid=1619771656&sr=8-23
  3. Interesting... I too suffer from back problems, but I find the F Sport seats more comfortable than the ones in other NX models. I use to cover 22k - 25k per year prior COVID and found the seats perfect for me.
  4. It is a new legal requirement for all cars running in EV mode below a certain speed.
  5. I have had the same issue and it seems that the only way to change the volume is via the voice volume via the car settings as you have found out.
  6. Basically, £325 (per year) or £178.75 (per half year) is levied on cars registered after April 1 2017 with a list price over £40,000. The additional rate is "only" applied for the first five years that road tax is renewed; renewals after that incur the standard rate for the car's fuel type. So the car tax for a F Sport Takumi is consequently £480 per year, for the first 5 years.
  7. They do when turned on. This is to validate that the adaptive headlight system works... which did not exist on the previous model.
  8. I am not sure I understand your reasoning on the basis that the figures provided are percentages, which surely provide a fair representation. What would be an alternative?
  9. The three 'eye' LED headlights of the Premier/Takumi and F Sport models were also changed with the facelift. They were aligned horizontally in the pre-facelift model, but stacked in the newer version.
  10. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-9469901/The-cars-likely-pass-MOT-attempt.html No surprise here. Current RX fares well too, but I am surprised to not see the CT listed as it is often listed as one of the most reliable cars sold in the UK.
  11. Unfortunately, it seems to be a Lexus thing. I have the same frustration with current NX, and it was the same with previous Lexus I have owned.
  12. I too have had issues with the volume. It would seem that the only way to adjust it is on the phone itself. Does anyone use Waze with AA? - I have it on my phone, but it does not appear on the AA menu. Google Maps work fine though.
  13. Sport ++ comes into its own on a spirited drive along winding B roads.
  14. I totally agree. I always use Sport mode on M-Ways. I also find it much safer as the car reacts quicker when you need to change lane.
  15. This is specifically relevant to Germany where some of the motorways are unrestricted.
  16. That is certainly what the NX and RX are referred to in the motoring press.
  17. My brother in law has a similar problem with his Range Rover, but that's because he has a gravel drive.
  18. It is my experience also. But I have found that dropping from an indicated 75-80 mph to 70-75 does make a significant difference.
  19. My feedback is the same as everybody else's. I guess that if these are the only things you have found to grumble about, Lexus should be delighted!
  20. My comments are not dissimilar to the ones provided already. I sense that, like me, you like your gadgets and intend to make the most of them! 1. dynamic/radar cruise control is brilliant, but doesn't work in heavy rain. When you first switch it on, a long press of the stalk will enable traditional (i.e. not radar) cruise control which, depending on circumstances may be preferrable. 2. RSA. I have mixed feelings on that one as I don't find it wholly reliable as it can, as mentioned above, pick up random signs. 3/4. AHS/AHB Works very well on straight-ish roads. AHS itself is just brilliant. My frustration is that, as it is speed dependent, it switches off below a certain speed and often when you most need it. When on a bendy country road, the system will switch to low-beam as you approach a sharp bend. On top of that, trying to find the switch to turn it off in a hurry is a bit hit and miss as it sits by your right knee. On such roads, it is best to revert to full manual control! 5/6. LTA/LKA Useful, in particular when driving at night or poor light... or if you know you're tired. Note that the system will only activate (vibration through the steering wheel and/or audible warning) if you cross a line without indicating. Works well in my view, but best on dual carriageways and motorways. 7. PCS is very good and also very useful when parking. Connected Car is next to useless from my experience.
