Hi all,
I took delivery of a 10 month old Artic Pearl CT200H advance 30 November 2013. Car was sourced through Newcastle Lexus and they were fantastic to deal with throughout the purchase.
Very impressed so far and have average 55.4MPG over the 1,000 mile or so I've had the car. I don't doubt that the published figures are achievable either as I've seen 68.1 over the first 40 miles of one tankful of petrol but the winter cold starts are pushing that down a bit. I'm very pleased as anything over 50MPG combined with the fantastic 3.9% finance offer was going to mean that the car paid for itself compared to my previous car.
The service plan is very inexpensive too, though in fairness the service schedule is rather basic anyway so it should be. But at around £25 a month for just over two years to cover the next three services I'm happy.
The Advance model has a great specification and will be kept standard (other than my current change of my car icon to the Tardis :)). Oh and I've changed the low and high beams to upgraded bulbs (though I feel they're actually worse than the standard Osrams so I'll swap them back at some point!). Thinking about it the dealership had also added aftermarket rear sensors as the early Advanced only had the camera (they're not the best but they cost me nothing and they work).
After 20 odd years of performance car ownership this first month has been something of a revelalation. I'm impressed with the car and the brand / dealerships. Early days but can see my futuring motoring continuing to be Lexus Hybrid based (especially given the recent release of the gorgeous IS300H saloon!).
Cheers
Dave
