Filled up then stuck in Q for 1/2 mile. Average speed 3 MPH.

thats .0051652893 gallons mate - approx cost 3p - not bad for 10 minutes relaxed driving 🙂

ok, my car is new last week - 300h f sport.

did first proper run today - birmingham to manchester - so mainly m6 but some urban running also - drove sensible on way there - got 61mpg in sport mode and 53 on return journey - couldnt help myself with that creamy power delivery in sport :) , didnt drive like a loon but wasnt hanging about so im very happy - dare say i will improve on this as i learn how to get best use of EV to maintain speed. aircon on all the time.

You went with red on red? Don't think I've ever seen that combination.

How is the dealership going to sort it, replace all the interior trim?

thats what they say, will get another car in for showroom wth red interior then just do a swapout.

been waiting since Jan but finally here F with prem pack.....alll absolutely brilliant.....aside from the interior trim 😞  i had ordered Dark Rose but its come with black........the dealer has promised to sort so watch this space - anyhow here it is,,,give me a wave if you see me - west mids, prob M6 , often A14 to Cambridge.

UPDATE.......WITH A BIT OF LUCK I GET THE CAR THURSDAY 30TH MAY.................IF AND ONLY IF THE DEALER INFO IS RIGHT ......

And this is the point of a watch. To wear and appreciate it. Make memories with it and then hopefully pass it on for others to enjoy. Lovely watch. 

I have the same Omega. Fab.

I'll add my own now,,,,I wish I'd known that Lexus couldn't meet delivery date and would be dire at keeping me updated....ordered Jan 17th for may 24th delivery.... not here yet....I have had to keep chasing for updates which have been vague to say the least....

OK, 10 days till my car arrives - May 24th - to say im uber excited is an understatement - now ive read just about every single article many times on this and other forums and its all good stuff, ive downloaded the manual and read that but what i would like to hear from owners is this - what is the one piece of advice or tip that you have come across from experience that may not be fully explained in the manual - you know, something you learn that you wish you had known sooner to max out your enjoyment?

thanks in advance.

Have also owned mine for 3.5 years and main gripe is the way the driver leather seat is wearing.  Creasing and a few scratches.  Not sure how to prevent/protect this or if it is just a feature of getting older ! Performance is better, if anything, and once I had found the "button" below the accelerator pedal, still punchy.

what button?

i cant see anything on the forums about meets/get togethers? i get my car may24th { 300h f sport premier pack mesa red with red leather} - would be interested to meet other members and have a nose at their cars and a natter or a beer 🙂😎  nw midlands. i know theres things like Japfest but was looking for something more Lexus focussed.

Hmmmm went to dealer and agreed to an f sport with premier pack....I daren't look at the bill now. Can't wait for the car tho.

Just rung my dealer as ordered one 2 weeks ago , believed camera was std based on brochure given etc. Waiting for their response but initial thought is i would need to add a pack....not happy so if that's the case i will look at rejecting the car.

Ok admin- maybe you could lock the thread now, the great members on here have given me the answer I sought. Thanks all, appreciated.

@ 200h thanks- that's what I was hoping to hear.

That's the problem with the F SPORT...it seduced me and I fell for it !  Can't wait to get it.    may 24th.

Hi Steve 44.

I test drove an Exec model that was ok but ordered the standard spec F SPORT after seeing in showroom. I only sat in it in the showroom and was happy with the more sculpted seats and the looks in Mesa red.

56 yrs young and had major spine surgery 2 years ago...

I drove an Exec but just fell in love with the F looks.... seat felt ok in showroom.

I'm trading up from a Kia Sportage which is like sitting on a concrete bench so I'm not too worried, just curious.

i know its subjective and everyone has their own ideas but why do i read so many reviews saying the F sport is hard and uncomfortable? any owners care to comment?

only asking as mines on order and im wondering how comfy or not it wil be,

Hi. Company car :) so yes, new.

Previous hacks:

Alfa 159Ti

Bmw520d

Jag X type

Accord 2.2 exec

Kia Sportage - current car. Awful.

Keep them 3 yrs or 50k

IS 300h F SPORT in Mesa red with rose interior will be my first Lexus on May 24th 2019 9am. 

Trying hard to contain enthusiasm and anticipation 🙂

so...for now, hello from me AC1962 and look forward to engaging with you all soon.
