Thank you Gary for answering my question. I came across a late 2020 F sport in blue for sale. Test drive booked for Friday. Do UX's that are made during covid (2020-2022) have the same strong build quality as the pre covid cars?

Based on this, some takumis dont have avs. Is that an issue when it comes to comfort?

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP:) 1 final question: are cars that are built during covid (2020-2022) have the same good build quality as the cars made before and after?

Appreciate all the help 🙂 If AVS was an optional extra on the earlier cars, how can u tell if a car has it?

Hi all. I'm hoping to pick someones brain on a few queries I have about the F sport. Majority I have seen up for sale are F sport premium plus pack. What is the difference between them and the F sport takumi pack? How can you tell if a car has AVS? Do the tyres make a difference to comfort? If so, which tyres are the best for comfort? Do all UX25H's have android auto? If not, which year do they start from? We want something quite and comfortable. We like the look at the F sport and it fits our budget but are not sure how comfortable they are. I appreciate all the replies.

Hi all I'm hoping to pick someones brain about the dilemma I have. I am now in a position to buy myself something special. I have narrowed it down to the C63 (W204 6.2) or an RCF. Has anyone on here owned both? What are your thoughts? Thank you for your help in advanve :)

Hi owners. I am looking to upgrade to a es300h in a few months. Could i please pick your brains on the spec differences between the premium edition and the takumi? From my understanding, the only differences are: 360 camera, hud, rear reclining seats, quality of leather and the camera mirrors(optional extra). Am i right or wrong? Have i missed anything? Thank you for your help in advance 🙂

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP AND INPUT 🙂 Got an update: Spoke to the general manager at Lexus bham. He initially justified disabling the buzzer 🤣. It took some convincing for him to ask me to bring the car in on Friday. They will be enabling the buzzer and checking out the car thoroughly to see what is causing the issue. Fingers crossed it will forth time lucky.

We pay our hard earned money for a product or service. We expect them to look after our cars during the time its with them irrespective of how much it is worth. Its our pride and joy. You would expect them to fix issues they have caused and not bodge them. Its unlike Lexus to do what they did.

Ive given them 2 attempts already. I dont want to complain to them because i understand how good the brand is in terms of their general customer service and the build quality/reliability of their cars. I do understand people make mistakes but that does not mean you skimp on safety and bodge fixes. That is sooo unlike Lexus. I will call Lexus uk and see what they say about it. I will keep you all updated.

@Moleman, i have attached to this a message a video of a side effect of their 'fix'. They have fully disabled the seatbelt buzzer which means it dont buzz when driving. It only displays a warning. It could be seen as a safety issue which can also relate to issues during an mot 😞 20220215_135249.mp4

1. The issue was not there before the service last week. 2. The issue was a buzzer constantly going off with no warnin lights. 3. To retify the issue, they disabled the seatbelt buzzer. 4. The drawback is, now anyone can drive the car without the seatbelt on and a buzzer sounding which is a safety issue although the seatbelt sign comes on no buzzer sounds now. They kept on fobbing me off when I asked them for the cause. I have attached a video of the noise before i took it back for a third time yesterday.as you can see, now warning lights on at all. I am belted up. Hope that helps 20220214_105611.mp4

Hi everyone. My apologies, i forgot to write up an update yesterday. I took the car back to Lexus for the third time. They got around the issue by disabiling the seatbelt buzzer. It has resolved the issue but i think their method was not the right way togo about it. Now, if i forget to put on my seatbelt, the car will not sound the buzzer and will only display the sign on the dash. What do you guys think?

Fingers crossed

The dealer is Lexus birmingham who normally are very good. It went in for an interim service which consists of oil and filter change, hybrid health check and general check of the car. I think I need to speak to the manager on Monday. My work is not happy with me taking time off to go back in but it has to be done. As mentioned, i did not have the issue before which suspects me to believe that they did something. They should have taken their time to retify the fault yesterday. This will now be the third time i am visiting the dealer in 4 days 😞 Lexus Birmingham's customer service is normally very good. Everyone makes mistakes. I just hope they put things right on Monday. This does bring back some bad memories that I had with SÈAT where i had to complain to the head office before things were sorted.

I dont know how they diagnosed it as a seatbelt sensor because there was no error on dash or anyone sitting in the other seats. The problem was not there before I gave the car in for a service on Friday. 😞

They did say its seatbelt sensor related however, no warning light came on

Hi all. I took it to lexus earlier on today. They told me that they 'resetted the systems' on the car and that now it should be fixed. However, a few hours later, the issue resurfaced. I am going to call them again on Monday. I will keep you all updated 😞

Hi @Moleman, all the doors were shut. No door warning sign on the dash.

Ive attached a video to this message. @Moleman do you have any idea what it could be? 20220211_193300.mp4

Hi All. Could i please pick someone's brain. I got my car serviced earlier today from lexus including the hybrid health check. Around 10 mins ago, my car started sounding a loud buzzer type noise similiar to the seatbelt noise. The noise cancels out momentarily when i click the indicators. After I make a turn, it comes back on. No warning signs whatsoever on the dash. What could it be? Could the issue be linked to the service? The car passed the hybrid health check and has never put a foot wrong before this issue. Any help will be appreciated 🙂

This is why i recommend people to buy an F car. They have 9/10 the performance compared to an AMG or M with much stronger reliability record (especially if you keep an eye at the oil level lol). 900 for 2 years of warranty is very cheap @B1 RMA. However, I dont think any car warranty in the world covers stupid owners that do not check their car fluid every so often. Its a basic routine for any car owner let alone a performance car.

Hi all Il quickly introduce myself first. I came accross this forum a few months when i was considering buying a ISF. Due to covid, my dream is abit delayed but hopefully will come true soon 🙂 As for the rcf mentioned above, I just spoke to the chap. He runs a claims company and took the car in. It was uninsured car. He plans to sell the vehicle as a straight car if it dont sell and he decides to repair it. I had a similiar issue where i brought a car privately a few years back that was damage repaired unrecorded without even noticing (from the outside it looked good but internally it was a cowboy repair) I had to spend another 1.5k to get the car straight. I hope someone dont fall for the same trap i did 😞 I agree with @tomRCFcarbon. we need to keep a lookout just incase it comes on sale repaired in the future.
