Hi all,
Yesterday I received my new IS 300h Executive Edition (Sonic Titanium). I've literally only had a few drives and clocked up no more than maybe 25 miles so I very much new to this car.
I have a couple of questions:
1) Is there any way to have the centre display show the speed digitally? On my previous Porsche Cayman S there was a very clear speed reading in digital as well as the normal analogue display.
2) Sonic Titanium colour - I'm a little disappointed compared to some of the pictures I've seen. Particularly the one DJP has on the profile pic, that really does look stunning. I think because I have the Executive Edition with the 17" silver wheels, it is too much of a contrast of silver wheels vs sonic titanium. The darker grey wheels seem to look much better with Sonic Titanium. Does Sonic Titanium look better in the bright sunny weather vs a dark rainy day like yesterday?
3) What kinds of monthly rates are people paying for the IS 300h? I'm paying £299 inc VAT on a 6+23 month contract. I would love to have stretched to the F sport model but it was coming in at over £400 p/m which I couldn't justify. I just wanted to gauge how much others are paying for either the executive edition or the F Sport.
As mentioned, I'm very new to the car but initial impressions compared to my Porsche is that the ride comfort and toys are much better in the Lexus, but I lose that punch of the Porsche - which one would fully expect. Thanks.
Kind Regards,
David
