Folding mirrors on locking only on Takumi spec. Dealers only allowed to put Takumi models in the showroom so you will only see the full spec. Anybody noticed a resonance type sound when cold in the mornings and the engine is running faster (like having the choke on in prehistoric days) goes after a very short distance and does not come back all day even if the engine is cold again. It’s just a morning thing for me.

Best Lexus by a mile since my first Lexus in 2007. You need only look at the all the door and hatch seals to see the extent that quietness and smoothness has been improved. Better than my IS300h and I have had two of those. This second generation engine transmission is a big improvement, mainly short journeys I am doing 51mpg. While washing mine this morning found that you cannot lift the wipers away from the screen. They will only lift just enough to wipe underneath along the bottom of the windscreen. Great car.

Mine was the first in Bristol by a few days. Brilliant car. Read the relevant parts of the manual several times as it will seem difficult in the beginning.

After just over a week I can say this is the best Lexus I have had, for smoothness and for being so quiet. I have Lexus’s for 12 years now 3 IS250 with the 6 cylinder engine which was a peach but you could watch the fuel gauge going down if you put your foot down to overtake. Then 2 IS300h which were very good but this UX is so much much better. Higher mpg, on battery more, the only way it could be quieter is if it did not touch the road like a certain Delorien. You cannot hear the engine kick in when coming off battery which you could in the IS. Brilliant car.

Page 101 in the manual. On the steering wheel on the right hand side buttons (3 o’clock position) Press right hand button to turn on, indicator on the main screen. Get to the speed you want and press the lower left button to SET. Once set those two buttons become speed up and slow down. To cancel the big button in the middle. Tried to get my voice commands set today and it’s still as useless as it’s always been, Lucy Lexus does not understand Bristolian. 😂 Tyre pressure. Ignition on, left had side of the steering wheel you have 4 arrows, up, down, left and right. Press the button down button and the display to the left of the speedo will scroll through the options, tyre pressure showing all 4 wheels will come up. Keep scrolling in the same direction to get back to where you were. I believe if the tyre pressures get too low it will appear automatically.

I am in Warmley and mine is White. May see you around.

Did about 80 miles in mine today and it’s so much better than my old IS. Quieter, running on battery much longer and at higher speed than my IS. The boot is fine for two 70 year olds and getting in and out great. I do not want a big car so the price compared to the NX is not important. Only negative so far is the map, it’s coloured and the text is smaller with a white hallo against the background, fine for the younger generation but they should have considered older people with variafocal lenses. Other than that very very pleased.

Its home at last, 382 days after putting down the deposit.

Looked at my car yesterday. Sonic white with rich cream leather with Premium Plus pack, very happy. Final specs only reached the dealers last week. A little disappointed that no 10 inch screen, F sport and Takumi only. Manual seats, electric seats only with tech and sound pack, no folding mirrors on lock, that’s F Sport and Takumi only. Does have the power hatch with the close sensor under the rear. And a nice textured leather finish to the top of the dash. still covered in plastic bits and a waxed finish to the paintwork. Anyway it is what it is and still very happy. PDI Monday, valet Tuesday morning and I will be driving away with it Tuesday afternoon. First one in Bristol.

Will be getting my UX by next Tuesday. Only 382 days sine the deposit.

I could have wrote that. Exactly what I do.

The cargo boat inside the red square is bringing my Lexus UX. Its approaching the docks now. One year and 2 days since my deposit. Hoping it will be on the road end of this week.

Advert was on CH4 about 20.25. Saturday 2nd.

New Lexus tv add starts this Saturday. Advance previews sent to people who have registered an interest in UX. Demo cars will be available in the dealers March 22nd, so hopefully mine willl be here by then as well.

After my car showing March 1st into Bristol since mid November it has now back to the 3rd week in March. Bugger. I will be worth the wait, my test drive showed it is an excellent car (or small SUV). That will be 54 weeks since my deposit.

After putting a deposit down on March 8th 2018 I finally got to drive one today. I was very impressed. The engine and drive chain noise was miles better than my IS. The internal layout and quality of finish was really good. I drove the 2 wheel drive as that is what I am getting. The rear boot floor lifts out and Lexus believe production cars will carpeted down into the recess. The throttle response was very good even in ECO mode. Each test drive the salesman takes his iPad which sends info on performance or any issues directly to Japan. I went up and down the M32 then 15 minutes of around the house and it was in electric mode for 53% of the drive. Very very happy and my wife was given champagne and chocolates for Valentine’s Day. My daughter recently bought a new Fiesta ST3 from Trust Ford and the handover was a shambles, about as far away from Lexus as you can get. Mine still on schedule to be in Bristol March 1st. Should be on the road by the 5th.

I have a test drive booked for the 14th, maybe that’s the car that is going around the dealers. Only 2 days in Bristol I think. Mine arrives in Bristol March 1st.

Is it nearside is reversing, offside is a fog light? or the other way around not sure.

White with Premium Plus pack and rich cream leather.

Demo cars will be in Bristol for one day only I believe on February 14th. Mine still due in Bristol on March 1st.

I felt is was better than having the cup holder hole. It sits about 10mm above the arm rest.

I have one that I took out of my IS before I sold it. As said it’s like a small cup with a lid that fits into either of the central cup holders. I bought it as an elbow rest as the cup holder hole was annoying. I am in Bristol if you want it £15.00? Not back in the uk until mid February though. Reply to this message if you are interested, send me your email???

Since 2007 I have had two silver and then 3 white. My new UX will be white also. My reasoning is that I only do about 4,000 miles a year, very little motorway. It’s easier to keep it looking nice in winter. Sounds strange but when it’s dirty you can wash it, rinse it, chamois the windows and leave it at that. In the heat of the summer when the car is drying faster than you can chamois the paintwork it does not show smears. Stone chips are easier to match in to the paintwork.

I had an insulation voucher with my Black view and it came with a magic pro which turns it off at a certain voltage or time to protect the battery. My feed is up under the passenger footwell.

2 new ES’s at Lexus Bristol’s presentation evening tonight. White ES35OH, silver ES300H, also red UX. ES and UX share most of the instruments and switches, same steering wheel as well. All left hand drive.
