  1. Was away on holiday last week so a couple of 80 mile journeys completed. Definitely quieter than the NX, more relaxed ride (possibly due to longer wheelbase) and certainly a Lexus where you simply waft along. Seat comfort similar to NX. Definitely a bit thirstier (as expected). Hopefully temperatures will rise which should improve ev range. 660 miles on the clock and still got quarter of a tank. Once I refuel and calculate the electricity consumed I will report on overall mpg.
  2. Agree 100%. Likewise the bulk of my local running is in ev mode. My NX450h achieved 70mpg+ overall during 2 years and 18000 miles (converting cost of electricity into petrol cost). Now have a RX450h+ which is (as expected) a bit thirstier.
  3. Yes I heard the same but quite happy with the RX for now (albeit it wasn't built for supermarket/public car parks!)
  4. I was disappointed that the panoramic roof option wasn't available when I had my 450h as I really liked having it on the 300h. As you say the sunroof provides a compromise. Now enjoying a panoramic roof once again on my RX450H!
  5. Absolutely correct. You have to cancel it each time you start the car if you wish to cancel the warning.
  6. Think that there are a number of minor tweaks to the NX spec also going to be announced. Its likely the panoramic roof option will be added to the 450h+ range.
  7. I see the Lexus NX Overtrail has been announced in Europe. Expect that the UK will follow. Looks interesting. See the Lexus Europe website for full details.
  8. Is that not just the sound of the tyres turning whilst the car is stationary and transmitted through the steering? Do you notice the same when the car is in motion?
  9. Looks great! I haven't yet reached the heady heights of 38.7 but its steadily rising. Some milder weather will help! The range is pretty exact whereas the NX450h+ which I had previously was rather optimistic particularly in cold weather. Happy motoring!
  10. Possibly the complexities of the Hybrid engine and the reassurance of the 10 year warranty offer when purchased through dealers makes recent models less likely to be available via private sale. There is of course a sales forum within the LOC site.
  11. Congratulations Chris. Lexus Edinburgh are brilliant to deal with!
  12. My recent trade in of a NX450h+ Premium Plus with sunroof is currently being advertised by Lexus Edinburgh for £43995. I can throughly recommend the car - it's done less than 19000 miles and was registered in March 22. Its finished in Graphite Black with Hazel leather interior and has the protection pack fitted. Front footwell rugs were unused during my ownership. The upgraded door handles were fitted and all servicing and recalls completed by Lexus Edinburgh. It's a great car - never put a wheel wrong and I averaged over 70mpg after taking the cost of electric charging and converting that to fuel costs. It was washed meticulously every week (including power washing under each wheel arch) and was machine polished prior to handing it back. Think it will be a great buy for someone!
  13. Saw my first LBX on the road last Saturday. Looks good in white. Actually knew the driver so sent her a message and replied that "she loves the car".
  14. Yes they are both part of the Eastern Western Motor Group and have recently added Lexus Dundee.
