New car has arrived-questions

[Quietlife]

Not when I've paid 30 odd grand for a car. I can't believe I missed the lack of lumbar adjustment. It's an unfortunate (and ultimately very expensive) mistake.

I completely agree with you. I assumed that a theoretically nigh on forty grand car would have lumbar adjustment and made the same mistake. I still get repercussions from back injuries and sciatica, however luckily I have found the correct seat adjustment to suit my body, and I find her a comfortable drive.

So I’ve got my new NX home and have been sat going through all the menus and settings. A couple of questions have arisen.

1. I’ve got the premium pack with electric seats. Coming home I was getting back ache due to excessive lumbar support sticking into my back. However, on reaching down to sort it, I found there was no lumbar adjustment button. All the manuals I’ve read, including the one that came with the car show lumbar adjustment. I’m pretty disappointed as the seat was very uncomfortable on the way homeE

Edit- Just looked on auto trader and none of the cars have lumbar support adjustment. Odd, because the manual clearly shows one. Think I'm going to have to buy a nice cushion!!

2. I created a Lexus account and tried to verify the vehicle on line, but it doesn’t recognise the vehicle code. Just too new or has the site got issues.

Other than that, everything is fine 🙂

The reason I bought an RX rather than an NX was that after 10 miles on a test drive my back was hurting.... 😞

Yes... I borrowed a courtesy car with road sign recognition a couple of months ago: it told me that the speed limit on the M3 was 120... because it read a sign on the back of a continental lorry I was overtaking at the time!

Same issues last week in a loan IS300h. 100mph speed limit on Kidderminster. The satnav in that car was hopeless as it used a wheel  type control instead of the mouse.

The seats lumbar issue just shows to never assume anything and always take the time to make sure the car has everything you want, before you buy it.
