  1. Talk about ambiguity. Grammatically I think that description could be described as only showing Apple as wireless. As I mentioned elsewhere Toyota Customer Services informed me that they have no plans to support AA wireless. Of course things change so nothing set in stone.
  2. All the trips on mine look accurate. More than I can say about the service record. It's now showing 30,000 miles more than reality! Must be a manual input error at the garage I assume.
  3. I wish you'd remove that picture of Clarkson please! He once said that all Council Workers should be taken out and shot in front of their family. I worked for a Local Authority at the time and felt incensed! I realise that being controversial was his schtick but he really is the most foul individual ever to grace the gogglebox! IN MY OPINION.
  4. https://www.britabeauty.co.uk/products/ti?fbclid=IwAR05sc3RH6eDllCqNUsfmFHgK0zyaet8cQyN5fzSPojqIm1LAh-4SvI6n_Y&utm_campaign=23858595859260138&utm_content=23858596752530138&utm_medium=Facebook_Desktop_Feed&utm_source=fb&utm_term=23858596027670138 This has to be a scam - surely!!
  5. You have to love those discrete door hinges!
  6. It does look very effective. Is there a master off switch somewhere?
  7. You've hit the nail on the head there Don. It's not the drive-by noise levels it's the transferred noise and harshness over rough ground due to the extra thick, less flexible side walls that's the issue with run-flats in my opinion. I think if I were a high annual mileage driver then I would be able to offset the noise issues against the obvious advantages but I'm willing to take a chance. Had I not changed to standard tyres then Goodyear were my preferred option and to be fair Lexus said they could get those if I wanted them, or any tyre of my choosing.
  8. I know that the preferred service has to be selected in the setup before plugging in the phone. I find it best to set-up the phone connection first, then try the plug-in Android Auto. A good quality wire is essential. A wireless dongle will ease your future connections. Mine works flawlessly and connects within a few seconds of starting the ignition.
  9. Almost. First car was a Marina Coupe, second Triumph Dolomite then all Hatchbacks or estates. It's my preference. If they suit you then that's okay with me.
  10. But at least you'd be able to through 50mph roadworks at any speed you like!
  11. Quality has many individual components to make a whole. Build, finish, efficiency are some of those components. MPG may be just as important to body design to some. IN YOUR OPINION Mr Linas the UX has too much plastic. I disagree. Maybe the base level does, I wouldn't know as I haven't seen one but my version has nice stitched material that seems like leather. Whether it's 'real' leather I am not too fussy about as I don't eat meat and would be a hypocrite to say otherwise. Overall it's nice and soft, looks good and doesn't hang onto dust as some surfaces do. When I sit in MY UX it does give me a feel of 'quality'. It was built in Japan as opposed to the C-HR that was built in Turkey. Maybe that fact alone makes it 'feel' better but who knows? Some Turkish Airguns and Shotguns are excellent (one of which I own) so please all note that I am not denigrating Turkish Workers etc. If, even though your profiles states that you don't have a Lexus currently, you actually have a 2006 GS, well good for you, especially in keeping a car going for that long but I personally loathe saloons and would never even look at one let alone own one. They're just not for me. This is of course my PERSONAL OPINION. So, all-in-all I think we are stating that unless you have proof that the plastic content of all UX is more than the plastic content of any other vehicle you wish to compare then you should just accept that this is your own perception and not necessarily fact. You may be right, you may be wrong. Final word about 'Plastic'. It's recently been voted the 4th best invention of all time. I think it should be at number one as without it we'd still be in the dark ages. It is the most valuable material known and if aliens ever do raid Earth it won't be Gold or even Water they'll be after! Lock-up your pop bottles I say!
  12. But being objectionable and offensive doesn't make you right. Others have an opinion that may differ and you may legitimately say that you disagree but why be so rude about it? They may be right and you wrong - who knows? There is only one person that's always right and I married her so I know it's not you!
  13. One inch makes a huge difference Hugh!
  14. I found this very amusing. They all do it! Why re-event the wheel?
  15. Isn't the NX the same chassis as the new RAV4? That's what I was told by a Toyota dealer.
  16. I have occasionally lost the will to live when reading your tirades that's true but humour me and give me the quick answer please.
  17. Get your facts right Linas old chap. I didn't make the last comment. What do you currently drive? Your profile says 'none'!
  18. I understand the principle that if one absolutely loves something than anything is a 'step-down' but having moved from the NX to the UX, albeit via a misguided period in a C-HR (not that there's anything's wrong with the Toyota, just didn't suit me), but I genuinely do not feel that the UX is a 'small car'. It feels good to drive and when parked next to most other cars they look comparable. This may be clever design but unless you drive with four people in the car regularly then the UX is roomy enough. I admit that the luggage space could be better designed to give more usable volume but load carrying isn't a regular thing for me these days. Even the flimsy luggage cover does it's job very well. Mine is a Premium Sport Edition and I think it looks rather swish inside but my granddaughter does slide around a bit on the leather/pleather/vinyl stuff!
  19. You clearly fail to accept that anyone can have an 'OPINION' that is different to your own and I will be wasting my time and others if I attempt to respond to your scurrilous comments. Maybe an admin can tell me how you managed to get to 8k comments and still be able to post - if the flavour of your recent remarks is anything to go by.
  20. Blimey! Cage rattled? Feeling Victimised? Raw nerve requiring a coating of Vaseline? Choose one that works for you. I deliberately kept my points 'general' and did not mention anyone in particular. I also stated "in my opinion" and "I find" as my comments are just that, mine, and they do not invalidate your own theories and ideas even though you phrase them in a far more verbose manner than I. That's the nature of a 'Forum' I believe. I would prefer if you did not personalise issues and attack individuals please. By doing so we only bring these discussions down to gutter level and put-off people who would like to contribute but fear to do so in-case they receive a broadside! I hate to rouse the anger of admins etc. and we should play nicely. As a parting comment I have driven many 'quality' cars but came into the Lexus family quite late in my driving life. I recently purchased a brand new C-HR, owned it for 5 months, lost 5k to change it for the UX that is now on the driveway and I can say with certainty that the Lexus is streets ahead of the C-HR even though that had the now current UX infotainment system, self parking, high MPG and more bells and whistles than I could ever need. Interior was good but just did not come up to the Lexus standard. You may have another opinion on that matter of course and good luck to you.
  21. I stand to be corrected but Wireless Android Auto is not and will not be built into any Toyota/Lexus sold in Europe. Toyota Customer Services informed me of this a few months ago. My Dongle works flawlessly and I never use the in-built nav now.
  22. I find the UX a bit of a paradox. Technically it's 'small-ish' car rather than a small car. In fact as cars have generally increased in size over the years, then comparing the UX to cars of old it actually feels quite large. Some people on here have made denigrating comments, accidental or not, regarding the build and finish of the UX but in reality they are put together better than most comparable sized cars I find, as you would expect for the premium price charged by the dealers. One thing I have noted and this may be a good reference as to Lexus quality is that quite a few commenters drive very old, or 'ancient', (in my opinion), vehicles and will have no idea of the technical advances made in the 10, 15 or 20 years they have been driving their old Lexus. Maybe these people would be better trying a newer car before denouncing them as 'plasticy' - or whatever they call them. All-in-all I am happy with the UX, yes it's not as roomy as the NX I owned but it feels good to drive, never feels cramped, looks good outside and in and returns 40% more mpg than the NX did so why would I compalin?
  23. Nfera ru1 225/50 r19. I just went with the recommendation from the Lexus dealer. I had Nexen on my NX and never had any issues. Looking them up on good old Google they appear to be more Summer than Winter tyres. Thank goodness for Global Warming!
