What a beauti... more pictures please

If you mainly do a city the 300h will be perfect for you, I had the test drive on two IS 300h in the city and on the road and love them. The car is very pleasure to drive, stick to the road like almost go-card and provide enough power. IS 200t will be drinking a lot in the city.

That's true John - if somebody want reliable japanese car he should stick to petrol one. A lot of problems with D4D in Lexus and Toyota, a lot with mazda 6 from the MK1, MK2, MK3, The same in Subaru, I think only Honda 2.2 diesel was not bad in the past - dont know how it is now.

There is not much what you can do to increase the power in N/A engine. If you need more power from time to time make sure to select sport mode and the traction battery is charged enough ( at least 50 - 60% ) and you can fly with 220BHP kick in the back. If you need constatn more power you have bought a wrong car. What for do you need more power? I would be very happy to have 220 BHP.

It is a mild hybrid - not the same, but always something. It would be a great car with proper hybrid system like in Lexus IS 300h. regards Tom

Thx John for your comments about bad dealer - it help me. This is mazda 6 but I also like mazda 3 sedan. Regards Tom

Hello, I gave up on Hilton Garage dealer ( not on lexus - that will be my next car maker in 99% ) but today I bought this Mazda approved vehicle because is also very nice looking like is 300h and its a full option ( including 11speakers bose sysytem, head up display, bi xenon, navigation, adaptative cruise controll, line assist, eletric countroled and heated seats and sterring wheel and many more with only 23300 miles on the clock and 12 months varranty. 2.0 165BHP petrol.

I've only checked autotrader.co.uk so far and in 2 months time I noticed that the prices for IS300h are going up, some of them now 20 000 for 2015/2016 with similar millage.

The price is 18 300, and they don't giving me any free guaranty ( only 28days as I think is a normal customer right ), of course they offering 1 year from RAC for 500 but I dont think that RAC is covering Hybrid Battery ( nothing in the leaflet about it ).

The car have a lexus book with 2017 2018 2019 and 2021 stamps - so 2020 is missing - what do you think about this?

I already had a test drive and paid 100 deposit in 20/12/2021but I was told that the car will be ready for me with the new MOT and 50 point car health check 30/12/21. Car dealer wanted me to pay full amount but I said no because I don't trust them ( there rating on google site is 3.7 from 5 so not everybody was happy ). I will be checking the car again before I will pay full money. During the first test drive the car was cold and starts with no problem and no smoke, traction battery was charging and discharging normal for me. What else Can I check, maybe is there any way to see the battery health on the screen? Thx for any advice with the car.
