Are most folk just using a 240/13amp socket? I’ve got plenty in the garage plus a weather proof external socket

Interesting development, certainly Toyota have told customers who have placed orders for GR Yaris and GR86 who may have to wait 12/18 months that they will honour the price they bought at and the finance rates. The only caveat being if the govt alter any taxation rates on vehicles they would be passed on.

Correct 👍 it’s the electronic rear view mirror I’m referring to.

When I had my test drive I’m sure it came on at very low speed or when stationary 👍

It does seam as though a few manufacturers are missing out on utilising the tech already in the vehicle, I’m guessing it will come over time 🤞

Thanks , seams like a lost opportunity as the camera is already there 🤔

Does anyone know if the electronic rear view mirror camera can be used to record ? This would remove the need for a rear view dash camera 🤔

I’ve not ruled out going full BEV , I’m still waiting for a demo drive in the bZ4X as soon as Toyota have fixed the “wheels, potentially, falling off” issue which has grounded the demo fleet and customer cars.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure the drive selector becomes second nature, but it’s the only auto I’ve managed to accidentally select neutral on when shifting between Sport and Drive on a test drive. Not being able to fling the doors open is no bad thing , as an ex cyclist it’s not always possible to give parked cars 1.5m clearance and I’ve had many near misses and several fiends put in hospital as a result of being hit with a car door.

Must admit I never fully got how to open the doors on the test drives but I think it was just a case of being too quick.

Found the seats good , would have said great if they had a longer base or adjustable base as per Volvo or Mercs etc but That was the only downside to the seats.

Yes, the Takumi spec is the one I like, hopefully having a look at a 450h+ in sonic titanium with dark rose this weekend before it’s collected by the lucky owner on Monday. Saw it with all the transportation protection on tucked in a corner of a car park so looking forward to seeing it fully unwrapped 😎

It’s the Takumi we’re interested in , the dealers demo car is an FSport 450h+ 👍

We’re not going to rush this one as it may well be our last car and we a keeper. Really liked all the tech on the car which worked well, and the F Sport 450h+ rode better than anything I’ve ever driven and was much less “busy” drivetrain wise than the 350h. Can’t say I noticed a massive difference in sound quality between the Levinson and the Lexus system and I did play the same tracks in both cars, I’d definitely take the Levinson and pan roof if available but not deal breakers. Waiting to see the Sonic Titanium/ Dark Rose 450 fully unwrapped as it still had all the transport protection on.

Dealership are great, JRL in Hull, cars ready , fully fuelled/charged , show you around , give you the keys and say come back when you’re ready 👍 I’m sure after a few days the drive selector will become second nature , had a Merc with the column selector and got used to that quickly. I found the camera on the rear view mirror took some getting used to , swapped between that and “normal” quite a bit and couldn’t decide which I preferred, but at least the option is there. Love the 360 camera and the 14” display is great , iPhone hooked up easily and everything I wanted was there instantly 😎 I did prefer the pan roof in the 350 to the sun roof in the 450 but it won’t be a deal breaker
