good point @Herbie - might do that also. see what happens to the economy

thats what i am finding, if little to no traffic its ok, but when other cars are around its very erratic and cannot smoothly transition where i can anticipate better the power needed. - nice to know i am not mad... cheers

Hi Guys, So after a few months and a number of filling the car from bottom to top I am curious on a couple of things that you fine folk may be able to help with. based in Ireland so figures are km's, fill up details and range below. (rounded up the figures below!) Range Litres Added l/100km MPG 900 53.82 5.9 48.13 870 53.79 6.2 45.69 885 54.33 6.1 46.01 896 55.16 6.2 45.89 847 55.87 6.6 42.82 833 53.00 6.4 44.40 870 56.43 6.5 43.55 So. during the middle of the fill ups i got into the habit of using the active cruise control on the way to work and back from work, its a duel carriageway so can cruise ok however my feeling was that it impacted the range a little. My last fill up was NO cruise control used at all and the range increased again and hitting near 900km per tank. Time between fill ups is between 2 and 3 weeks. overall really happy as i was in a Jag XF prior and was getting 600km a tank so no complaints but would folks see a better fuel return by not using the active cruise control. I find myself that i am better able to maintain a decent speed more smoothly than cruise control when overtaking and planning an overtake as the cruise really kicks in after slowing for traffic ahead and then powers away again. - Great system but yeah , thinking with out is better at the moment.

WOW - i did not think the car would be this good. I read and watched many reviews before i took the plunge but on owning this for a few days only its amazing. From the cruise control and radar tech to the fuel economy (currently 5.1l/100km on normal commute) its just fabulous. Mrs B also agrees its comfortable and easy to drive and we both did not expect so much EV range from the hybrid. Our last hybrid was a Honda Civic from 2009 and it was pitiful to be honest. Onwards and upwards but what a great start.

That was my thinking to be honest..... gonna query that on collection

Hi Guys, @wharfhouse - agreed, the spec rage is all over the place, its a very well specced car to be fair, from memory and a test drive i have the below so far Black with cream leather trim front seats full electric with lumbar support electric windows and mirrors No AUTO on mirrors Premium Sat Nav (7 inch screen i think) on rotary dial not mouse Heated and vented front seats Front and rear parking sensors with rear cam Will post a photo on collection.... hoping for many miles of hassle free motoring.

Hi Guys, Just a simple hello as i pick up my new to me 2018 (MY2019) Is300h from Lexus on M50 Dublin this week. 50k miles on the clock, full Lexus warranty etc. from main dealer. - Black with Ivory Trim in Luxury spec, looking foeard to picking this up as i have a Jaguar XF i am trading in so looking to see how the fuel savings stack up given decrease in car size and move from the black pump to petrol/hybird. One thing i find odd is the trim levels and trying to determine what I am supposed to have, example, told it has a premium Bluetooth sat nav system, however only 7inch screen i think! it is loaded though with full electric seats, heated and vented seats, reverse camera and full parking senors.. loads more kit on board. Questions, does anyone know if i get the VIN number can i use the Lexus app to send directions to the sat nav? Also on VIN number can i see what the car was specced with when new? Thanks and looking forward to many miles of trouble free driving... 😉
