I showed my mate Eco mode and said that's the only time it will ever be purposely activated.... shame you can't just default to Sport+ as it will live there.  Fuel economy is for the hybrids 🙂

I have to drive in ECO if my wife is in the car as she dislikes the acceleration so the gear shifts are better for her. But you can get the same economy out of SPORT S & Normal, just better gear responsiveness if you need it. 

And I drive using SPORT S+ with Trc off and manually when I'm just out for a "Sunday drive".. Or picking the kids up... Or bored. 

 

I agree I personally wish it always started in Sport S with ASC off.

This was me going to and from the office last year when the very first bunch of key workers were allowed back in, had to go and pick up/ drop off files... kept trying to beat my time each trip 😛 and for reference:

Normal traffic - 1 hour

Lockdown record - 21mins 😆

And if the part ex refuses children? Back to slumming it in the GSF.

Just noticed a red full interior on eBay... Was a USB GSF, I mean that's a shame, such a waste of a car.

[Dave400SE]

Yeah, agreed - if you look on their Facebook page then it looks like it took a fair hit on the rear and front passenger side

I was quoted around £1350 for one front wheel a couple of months ago, when I enquired about buying one as a spare from Lexus Parts Direct.

Ultra Blue is a colour in the UK - IS-F, late series II IS and series III IS F Sport etc. - called ultrasonic blue mica in the US - paint code 8U1

Azure Blue in the UK - RC F and GS F colour - called Sapphire Blue Pearl or Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 - paint code 8X1. The Azure blue is what Lexus GB call a sonic colour, a 5 stage paint.

Ultra Blue has a hint of purple in it.
