I said I'd check back into this thread after Autobahning and here it is. Manual is wrong and Rabbers is correct. Accelerated to 189kph and then it was limited, would go no higher. At that point a BMW was too close behind insulting his manhood, experiment finished.

Nobody has, but it doesn't have to be a massive secret to owners, just to the general thieving scumbags.

Is there a vaguely secret place I can put a tile device which has a chance to track the car in event of theft? For those unfamiliar it's about 60x30x4mm so quite flat.

That's a good point. If it is that, what can I do about it? Register her fob in some way? ta

Hi all, I've downloaded and setup Lexus Link+ on my phone, and it's showing my previous trips. However it's not logging my wife's journeys. Is that really how it works? Surely it should be linked to the car, and not just my phone?

Interesting about the boot space, as I've just come from a somewhat churlish review on Honest John where it states the 454 litre boot is small compared to its rivals (boot looks massive to me especially compared to my previous AR Giulia). The review also specifies the 24 Premium edition ES comes with an 8" screen controlled with a touchpad. Not sure when it changed (2022?) but mine is the larger touchscreen, thankfully. So Honest John hasn't really reviewed a 2024 model.

Interesting post - yes does sound more like it's the car protecting some of the components from rotating too quickly. Maybe it would setup a flux capacitor effect in the stator and I'd end up in 1988. I certainly don't cruise at much more than 160kph but like to see how a car performs and feels at the top end. Will report back assuming the massive lengths of roadworks in DE last time I drove through allow a decent run...

I read the user guide cover to cover and couldn't find that. That really isn't that fast for the Autobahn - is this a Lexus "safety" feature?

Well my 300H has landed fresh off the boat, all good so far, but lots of options and config still needed. Just something caught my eye in the manual that may not come up very often - tyre pressures I do drive in the EU quite regularly, including the Autobahn. How would you interpret this table? Germany is a 50/50 mixture of driving around or above 160kph and around 100kph or less. 46psi sounds extraordinarily high. Another associated query - I've seen a published top speed somewhere of 180kph. This seems low for the engine size, anyone know the real top speed (I will drive at 200kph for times on the Autobahn)? ta

Wow that's pretty impressive. Shame they don't seem to do a rear one although I suppose you could just use another one of these as they're tiny. You should have videoed your handywork and put it on youtube. There's a huge demand for people tinkering with electronics.

Hi all, About to get an ES300h. Can anyone who has got a front/rear dashcam recommend (or otherwise) a model. I know Lexus sell a Nextbase one, is it any good? As important to me as the video quality is the look of it. I don't want a screen - in fact ideally it will look built into the windscreen and not a box on the side. I won't be installing it myself for sure! There's an older thread on here but no recent recommendations, so grateful for any advice.

Hi, Has anyone ever put the F Sport black alloys (or third party ones) onto their standard ES? Having now settled on the normal Premium model, I do like the look of the blacks, and there are no options to choose different wheels.

Hi all, About to hopefully join this group with my first Lexus. I am a bit torn though and would appreciate some advice from F Sport owners. I test drove a standard ES and the ride was fine. I much prefer the looks of the F Sport model, but have read it's jumpy at low speeds. All the reviews though are from early 2022 so have Lexus made (or planning) any improvements to the ride? Any real world experiences with this model would be gratefully received. thanks
