Rasti Man

Many thanks everyone, the figures which are coming back are pretty impressive!

Morning everyone Can some of the 400h owners who live in rural areas please give me an idea of typical MPG from mainly using smaller country roads? I will add I like to "press on" when the conditions allow, and do not have the lightest of right feet. Thanks chaps.

Thanks for the reply James, I will certainly go for either an SE model or 400h if funds permit.

Hi Everyone Sorry to resurrect this post, but did Lexus GB ever send over the terms and conditions of the Hybrid Health Check 12 month Warranty? The reason I ask is my local service centre has hunted everywhere to try and find them, but to no avail. Unfortunately Lexus GB haven't been any help so I'm beginning to wonder if they actually exist, despite owners having to actually sign that they have read and understood them!!!! The warranty does sound exceptional for £39 outside of a service - according to my Lexus centre they are in the process of replacing the wiring loom FOC on a vehicle which became "contaminated" when the coolant pump failed on the hybrid system. So it sounds as if "consequential failure" is also covered for non-hybrid components..... Anyway, if anyone has a copy of the mysterious T's&C's, can they please either post them or PM me.

Many thanks for that Colin, it seems a logical solution. Does anyone know of a Lexus independent in the Cambridge area please?

Good afternoon everyone I have been persuaded by Mrs Rasti Man to replace our Honda CRV (which is currently on lease) with a 2005 year RX 300. Having been pleasantly surprised by the apparent distinct lack of serious problems with the Series 2 RX300's when compared to other luxury marques, I thought I'd ask a few more questions before I part with my hard earned cash. Firstly, I like all the features of an SE-L, (electric tailgate, Satnav etc) but the air suspension does make my wallet want to seal itself into my pocket at the thought of potential repair bills that may occur. If I've read the Lexus website correctly, it appears possible to purchase an extended warranty provided the vehicle is a UK model which is less than 10 years old and travelled less than 140K miles at the time the warranty is purchased. As we are likely to have the car for 12-18 months, have any other forum members with an RX and air suspension either a) had any serious problems and what sort of costs were involved, and b) have they successfully claimed on the Lexus extended warranty? Secondly, is the Lexus warranty felt to be value for money, or am I better keeping the £995 in my pocket for unexpected repairs? Lastly, I understand from posts on the forum that the 2005 model year RX300's with Satnav has hands free bluetooth as standard. If I am unable to find a suitable 2005 year vehicle, is it possible to fit an aftermarket kit such as a Parrot easily to say a 2003 or 2004 model year with the integrated Satnav? Oh I almost forgot, are they any Lexus specialists in the Cambridge area in case I decide not to go with the extended warranty? Thank you for reading my first ever post, and I look forward to all your comments.

I found you all after a quick Google search looking for reliability reviews of RX 300's
