I've decided. I'm going for an IS300h Advance. I'm planning to order it on Monday. Am quite excited.

Could I point out to all members that when you search Autotrader they ask for your postcode, this is then clearly displayed when you link it to the LOC or other sites. Obviously this being a public website certain dishonest people then have details of roughly where you live and that you may have bought a nice Lexus ISF recently. I would advise all members to use a postcode unrelated to where they actually live for security reasons when posting a link, for example I use 10 Downing Street as my address.

Tame??? He He he....I tend to only be a hooligan where there is no chance of any pedestrians. Will have to keep a look out for you though.

This weekend, I made the 500 mile round trip to my parent's place in London. I switched the suspension to comfort once on the dual carriageway (too bouncy for normal use in my opinion), and the car was great. The radar guided cruise control together with the Lane Keep Assist were the stars of the journey though. By day or night, they kept up with traffic, braked as necessary when traffic bunched up, and helped to steer the car. This made a huge difference to stress levels, and the 3.5 hour journey each way felt like it had taken only half as long. Even in lane 3 on the M1 where vehicles can go from 'quite fast', to braking heavily to 60mph or less, the radar cruise handled it perfectly, although it took a little while to trust the system (if you brake, then the cruise turns off and you have to finish braking yourself). Now the next bit is carefully worded... Hypothetically, if I had been tailgated at 90mph by someone in a red car, then putting the throttle to the floor for a few seconds would have left them back a good 600 yards and would have felt very good :-) And the LS460 managed 29mpg fully loaded with family and their luggage while maintaining a decent rate of progress.

Welcome Ace, that's exactly the same cars I tried before buying the ISF! Never looked back and I`m sure you and Nick wont regret your choice.

I was lucky to actually sit in and start the very car. I think its the same blue that was available on the ISF.

Jump starting from any car these days poses risks especially when electronics are the norm, sudden heavy current draw can play havoc with sensitive electronics and may result in expensive repairs being needed. My advice to to carry a jump start pack or similar or to be a breakdown service member. All hybrid vehicles are fitted with a conventional 12 Volt auxillary battery to power up the car from cold but may not be suitable for the heavy demands of a jump start their locations vary from make/model.

Be wary this guy has many things in common with that well loved Lexus seller we have all come to love. Mike.
