Wow you guys seem to be getting good mileage. Mine is a 2014 with 90k i get around 35-39. But most of my trips are super short 5-10 mile trips. The car came with all weather tyres on the front which im sure don't help either. 

That's not that bad. If any comfort, I'm getting low 30s in European cities in cold winter (freezing) for short trips. Summer drives  at 50-60 mph cruising get you 50+.

Very good mpg i am well impressed, i have  settled on a IS300h i think that more than enough for me for now although the ES was very tempting maybe in the future

You won't be disappointed with that choice. I would probably still be driving IS if available new in UK. There should be a good low mileage stock available around the country. What was my 69 plate with 29000 miles in Manganese Lustre, available at Marshalls for £25k, would be a good buy for someone.

just an update i am now the proud owner of a Is300h 17 plate 55,000 on the clock with full service history .. I have had it for a few days now and i am happy with it so far ...What i have noticed is how quiet it is inside and i am already noticing the fuel efficiency it gives, only slight complaint is the info-entertainment screen not the greatest resolution and it looks a bit dated ...sound quality is fantastic though as i have the mark levison sound system in my car

Congratulations. 

I recently got an IS300h too and been thrilled with it, a bit older and more miles (2014, 85k) but also FSH.  

On the infotainment point, I've installed the Carplay system (there's a thread in this forum on it) and can highly recommend it for bringing the the system into the modern world. 

It will cost you around £300-350 and around an hour or two of your time to setup, but it's worth it if you value the ability to link seamlessly with Android or iOS.

That sounds great would love to do something like that ...will be keeping my car for a while the sound system is very good,  Android or IOS will make it even better
