Saying that, the sat Nav screen in the IS is terrible, scratch’s very easily, I had one replaced under warranty, really needs to be more robust.

There is an anti-reflective coating that is easily damaged with many cleaners. If it happens then best just to use something to completely remove the coating.

Hi all, i am just wondering about the cvt gear box in the is300h F lexus. How reliable are they and is there anything i need to know about using them ect. When do i need to get the oil changed in them ect. 

Thanks   

Best gear box ever - fast, smooth, quit. Use and enjoy as you wish.

 

be mindfull - Lexus normally gives 10 years warranty for its hybrid system, witch is part of CVT.  I would not keep any hybrid car over 10 years.

To be fair any car over 10 years old and some 100,000 miles could end up with an expensive failure of eg engine or gearbox so I don't view hybrids much different in that respect - the cvt is simpler than a conventional autobox so may be more reliable and the normally aspirated engine has probably been less stressed than a small capacity turbo engine and a failure of the hybrid system (batteries) appears rare even on old cars going by Prius stats and isn't necessarily a write off situation even if there is an issue - at least no more than eg a replacement engine.
