My Review Of The 2014 Ct200H Advance

There are also some cabin issues I have found - everytime its raining and the door is opened, water falls onto the seat? Never have I experienced this in a car before, not even a ford or skoda.

Unfortunately I suffer with this on the RX400h, especially on the rear doors.

I had one, never did it fall off the roof and onto the car. Someone please tell me how to turn this bing and boing noises from the satnav off and how to stop it beeping continuously when in reverse. Its driving me mad! Its not a truck!

The drip issue is easy to put to bed: old fashioned cars had vertical side windows and so the rain didnt fall onto the interior from the door frame. Modern cars have doors which incorporate window which slope inwards and are more inclined ( pun) to drop water directly onto the upholstery. All of my cars have done it at some stage from around 1999 onwards. My mini and my stag and all of my old jags never did that but the mini and the stag used to allow the water to flow through the car in other areas though!

Its coming from the roof though. It drips straight from the roof onto the seat and its not even the edge of the seat, its slap bang in the middle. I probably wouldnt mind with a leather interior but on beige fabric its noticeable!

Yes , it comes from the roof where it meets the top of the door.

Its the constant change in and out of blue to show battery use/charging. Really distracting IMO. Maybe it can be turned off as a feature.

Two more against...Beep when in reverse!!!! Not a truck so why beep? Also rear view camera in one of the ones i drove was in the RV mirror. At first thought it was cool then realised it is too small to be of use and takes up mirror space!

I phoned the dealer about the beeping, it can be set to beep only once when placed in reverse but the dealer has to set this! The one I have atm is an advance and has no parking sensors, no camera, no electric seats, its basically a stripped out version with satnav.

I havent seen the alternating black and blue screen, probably because I switch it straight to sport mode after I turn it on!

Good news, my car is ready! So off to Lexus Stockport to collect my beast tomorrow evening!
