I did have it in Sport mode yes, chassis was lovely and set up so nicely. Other than that though, lovely lovely car indeed. I am looking forward to seeing the GS450h

Starting the engine was just fine, well at least I thought it was on. I really liked it I must say. It was the sport and not the F Sport but I do wish it had a bit more power behind it. Am I buying it? No. I loved the handling, the ride, in fact everything about it. Took me a while to get used to the CVT gearbox but I finally did so and started to enjoy it. Clocked up almost 200 miles in 24 hrs so did pretty well. Got an average of 47mpg which I was happy with. The only reason why I am not buying it is because I wish it had a bit more power. I dont drive hard, or fast, but I like having it under my foot should I need it. Considering looking at the GS450h - comfort, toys and that extra ooomph. I will keep you updated. Oh, and on a side note, Lexus customer service is absolutely fantastic. Never experienced anything like it before. I am pretty much set now on getting a Lexus, just need to find the right one for me.

Credit to my nearest dealer. Got a phone call confirming the test drive and got it booked for the start of next week so will have it from monday morning till tuesday. Very professional on the phone. Good first impression indeed. Keep it up lexus and you may well have a new customer. Looking forward to next week now. I have never driven a hybrid before

Thank you. Il wait for the dealer to contact me and take it from there

Fantastic. Thank you. Ive just submitted a request for the 24hr test drive from my local ish dealer. Im unfortunately not in the position to buy one brand new but would be able to afford an ex demo. Any specific trim level I should consider which would give a nice balance between cost and toys? The f sport is catching my attention and as i get older, having some luxuries is appealling

Thanks for the welcome. Everything read and understood. Dont make the quiz too hard...I dont remember things as well as I used to.

Hello all, As per my introduction post, I am looking for a car to replace my Accord, and my driving history mainly being that of a Toyota, decided to try Lexus out. I am considering an IS300h - is there anything I should be aware of? Any issues which are coming to light etc? What is the general consensus of these cars?

Hello all Just a quick hello - looking to buy my next car and came across this forum. I currently own a Honda Accord which I have owned since new and she has been perfect in 9 years of ownership and 160,000 miles however I am now faced with the thought of giving her up for a newer car before things start going wrong and getting expensive (potentially). I have always had Japanese cars, not interested in any other marque and my range of cars in 30 years of driving have mainly been Toyotas. Honda have lost my interest as they are not making any D segment cars and limiting their range to just a few cars, and I have always liked Lexus (being a part of Toyota) and thought now would be a great time to try one out. I have a particular model in mind however will ask the question in another post
