Good choice of colour, Paul.  Lexus Swindon sold me the same colour, too, with hazel interior.  What colour seats did you go for?

 It has black seats - car was already in stock.

 Perhaps I should have written this in my introduction, but it does involve baring ones soul a little, which I'm not prone to usually, But it's my hope that I will keep my Lexus for a while, so I'll be involved in this forum as a matter of course.

Very late in my life I discovered that I have Aspergers (a form of autism).  Apart from it being a lightbulb moment, it means that my brain has different wiring to the majority of folks, a part of which means that I can be very blunt and forthright e.g. I don't suffer fools easily and can appear rude.

It could be construed that I shouldn't be on a public forum, but I have a need to ask questions like anyone else and I feel (and have proven in the past) that I often have a helpful input in this situation.

This is not an excuse for rudeness, but it is a reason and so I apologise in advance if I upset anyone. I'd like to say it's not intentional, but sometimes it is because there are people on the planet who shouldn't be allowed out without a carer.

Feel free to tell me take a hike if this is inappropriate and thankyou for the welcomes, help and advice so far.👍

One suggestion ref voice commands especially for the sat nav, I found the Lexus very unsatisfactory, but that may have improved on your edition. Otherwise plug in your phone and use Hey Google, much more reliable in my experience.

I haven't had much opportunity to test it yet, but I did ask it to take me to a nearby town today and it did and it rang my wifes phone when asked.

The system doesn't seem as good as my previous car, which is mildly disappointing, but I'll get used to it.
