    No issues either but only drive in D & D-Sport. Tel

    Contacts rock- solid but have not checked the full list on the Nav itself as my "Calls" have always responded correctly. Tel

    Version C continues to work faultlessly with my iPhone given, the protocol to end the call, has changed from Version B i.e . Cancel Voice Recognition then Phone. Now Calling Fred displays Fred's number that I then simply say Dial to connect. Downloading Destinations via Tethering, when @ Home, also has performed as specified. DAB Radio is perfect------should I expect more as Version A guided me to the Swiss Border last Autumn with zero issues? Tel .

    I use Poorboys for protection which is extremely effective & worked perfectly on my ISF. Tel

    Jimmy, Interesting that your car has a Shark Fin Ariel on the roof as the UK version does not! Tel

    What Car have done Real World Fuel Consumption Tests with the 300h & 4 German Marques & the Lexus wins easily------I would have posted the Link but only have a E in IT! Tel

    As above in D-only & I further tried to avoid short journeys. The result is the 2.5L.engine is smoother /more refined than my previous V8 & V6's & the economy in D & D-Sport is excellent. Tel

    Auto -Folding Door Mirrors are std-----Nav includes Camera & Mouse. Tel

    Up-Date on my C-Version Issues. The Phone Protocol to end a call has changed & is in fact much easier ------someone should have told me! Calling "Home" was frustratingly unreliable--------whereas Call "Home Phone" appears perfect -------am assuming the other issues e.g.rear camera picture on Nav in forward motion.have been banished------will let you know! Quietly Chuffed. Tel

    Voice Recognition for Phone Calling is not 100%,Trying different Name Tags to achieve success. Tel

    Version C as B------gutted. Tel
  12. Tel
    Mine goes in Thursday for Version C after I informed them--------I will let you know if it is a success as the B version was actually worse than the A derivative! Tel

    I have owned Mk1 & Mk2 IS & traded in my Mk2 ISF for my F-Sport Mk3. The car is beautifully built & is admired by many @ Home & Abroad. I drive swiftly & will never use the Prius option. Have been to the South of France & driven c. Ik. miles on UK Motorways. Mpg as follows-----City 58 Rural 48 Uk/M 48 (c.80mph) " " 58 ( c.70 " ) Auto/R 53 ( c.90 " ) Winter >10 miles 38 Performance betters the IS250 in S,the CVT is sublime & I drive in D 99% of the time.

    To keep paint in showroom condition you need to use the 2 Bucket System with suds in one & the other with water, ideally changed regularly & brushes ,not sponges, to mobilize the dirt & rinsing in the second bucket after each application. I use Maguires Products,never let anyone else clean it & the surfaces are swirl-free under sodium light in my garage. Tel

    Had the Up-Grade in 20 minutes but found the Nav had gone back to Factory Settings erasing my preferences for Navigation,Phone & Audio. Resolved all bar one niggle that I cannot fathom-------on completion of a call the System cancels said call,the Radio plays & the Nav continues to guide But the call I made is still on the screen! My previous Version ,upon pressing the Phone button,the System returned to the Nav Screen! Any ideas please? Tel.

    I specifically ran mine in & the highest consumption was c.45 mpg on the Franco/Swiss Border with c.25 when Ascending & Zero when Descending to the valley floor. I get c.45 in Sport Mode & c.55 in D which I used for the first 2000 miles------Never used Prius Mode yet but an Italian Trip may force the change as Rural stations are not always open on Sundays! Tel

    John, The Up-grade is Area Specific so it is Europe that has our version of the Up-date which is different to that released in the US/Canada,Far East etc.---------your Dealer is wrong & clearly does not have the USB & TB. Tel ------I have received a call this morning & mine goes in next week for a 20 minute Up-grade.
  18. Tel
    Provisionally mine goes in next week & I have requested to see the Up-Grade Spec which I will Post so we all know what we are getting. Tel

    The 2011 MY ISF bettered the M3 because of the suspension & handling revisions--------an awesome car that will never be repeated. Tel

    2000 Mile Report------ Sport Mode------45mpg D-Mode-----------45 to 55mpg the latter driving on good flowing Motorways/Auto-routes. Best mpg----------58 mpg,20 Mile crawl in City Traffic. Nav/Lexus Portal fine ----- connectivity to Windows 8/i Phone flawless. Refinement/Build is exceptional No Road Rash. Perfect Tel

    Did not pay list price!! Tel

    you deserve a rest! Tel

    David, Only if our version is the same-------doesn't the Handbook state what happens? Tel
  24. Tel
    The Version is easy to check------it is in the Nav Set -UP list. Tel

    For your info I got 68% for my 2.25 year old mint ISF (mk.2) which betters the German equivalents that loose significant cash due to the Factory Options that hold almost zero value. If you read the long-term tests over months, not years, Audi & Bmw trade-ins plummet! A senior Bmw guy told me Not to spec "my" then 335i to Lexus Stds as I would loose a packet as the retained value of Bm's was based on metallic,auto ,leather,18". Tel
