Easy, the mid term face lift production started in September 2017. So the NX phase 1.2 or whatever people are calling it was approved for manufacture before the mandatory requirement.

Not adding much to the discussion, but I've always felt its a bit miserly and penny pinching working out tyre cost, miles per gallon and "I can change my own oil", after all you're buying at £40k+ luxury branded car! Fill up when needed, replace tyres when they reach the legal limit, service as required. Enjoy your premium purchase and relax. If I wanted to worry about all those trivial things I'm have bought a JAAAG, and an AA rescue subscription 😂

There are plenty of reasons why an accurate time frame cannot be given for product delivery. Delays in R&D, testing, manufacture, international shipping, local distribution, availability of tech to train/instruct on how to install, just to name a few. Even with all that sorted you still have the challenge of customer availability too!

Mine does a daft thing of "unlock you phone" etc, even though its set to be active on lock screen. Then it (siri) asks which app to use to send messages. The annying thing is I don't have messenger or Whatsapp, just iMessage, yet it asks every flipping time!

A beige Lexus? I can hear the jokes being formulated already.

Personally I use Waze, but I get where you're coming from. But, the whole map thing on the app is useless. can't even plot a route, so at this stage the send to car feature is redundant anyway. But like in anything, either provide a full service, or don't bother. this half arsed approach just frustrates folk

Really? The map send to car feature is still missing on mine. And can't plot a route, so basically useless.

I wouldn't know, best ask Lexus. But, I doubt it, as they are a wear & tear part on a 6 year old car, also depends on mileage.

Lexus insurance quoted me £13,200 for the first year of ownership back in 2020. Ended up with the AA for £900.00.

Sounds like one of your CV joints is on the way out. front wheel drive, you are likely hearing a failing half shaft on on side of the car or the other. The creaking and clicking comes from the worn out components of one or the other CV joints on the half shaft which connects the transaxle to the front wheels

I must be lucky somehow. Bought new in 2020 NX300h with premium plus pack, list over £40k at £42,500. Actually paid only £37,500. Paid my VED as you have to. Just paid VED back in February, only £170.00, the highest I've ever paid so far. I was warned by the dealer of the "envy" tax, and was prepared for it. So far in 4 years of ownership haven't been charged the additional Posh-Payment.

That dash is leather, not plastic.

I do hope you are wanting to read all the track information while parked up, and not while driving.

Why did you accept a new car with the wrong wheels?

No you don't. You leave the mirror door switch in the centre for both mirrors and make sure your settings are to auto.

Very similar to my OEM rims, also 18" which are black chrome.

That's so badly written. Or, maybe it's my tired brain this morning. I read it as: Cornering lights will come on when you turn the wheel, indicate and are reversing. And...... After turning the corner backwards the Cornering Light stays on for 30 minutes ???? 30 seconds surely.

NX300h 2020, so the pensioner here but, 10 speaker Pioneer system loud enough to annoy your neighbours when coming home at night, with a Sub that shifts enough wind to rattle the back window and rear view mirror and all free "standard" (NX version dependant) What's not to love?

Mine only come on when using headlights, but based on how far you turn the wheel, rather than indicators based. As I suppose you could turn a corner on a dark lane with no one around to indicate your intention to, so you simply don't bother using the indicators.

Personally, I find them useful. Also, for me anyway, they aren't so bright that they fool me into thinking there's an oncoming car, besides which the light is illuminating away from your car and not towards. They are just a bit of extra illumination when turning. I don't even notice them unless I look down purposefully. Pretty much the same as using the fog lights.

And ride quality, tyre cost and handling.

Seems to be some contradictory information from this article 2 years ago https://www.startrescue.co.uk/breakdown-cover/motoring-advice/safety-and-security/what-is-a-vin-number

VIN will have year of manufacture

I have a 2020, so the ancient previous version. My observations are as follows: Car can use E10 (regular unleaded 95RON, UK) or E5 (super unleaded 99RON, UK) from my local petrol station. Tried both. E10, cheaper, but lower performance feel (could all be in my head though) and lower MPG E5, currently 7p more per litre. Better performance feel, higher MPG. The higher MPG (anecdotal, not measured) is actually cheaper overall, I certainly refill to full tank far less often. Price difference on a full 56 litre tank is only £3.92, with my usual driving (heavy footed) that gives me 50 miles for every £10, or 20p a mile in fuel. And I'm OK with that!
