In hundreds of applications I have never needed to ? the ability & normally never use the H/Brake ------I guess I must apply the footbrake within seconds of stopping. Tel

Hill Start works for the duration of the Stop until you naturally apply the Handbrake Perfect for a Traffic Jam on the Entrance to Mt. Blanc. Tel

Nope, As Lexus were replacing my new car they thanked me for reporting the damage & the car was returned to them with 4.5k miles on the clock. The LS was beautifully built ,went like a rocket & averaged 28.5 mpg over the 6 weeks I Perfect. Tel

I once had a brand new LS 460 Courtesy Car that I used to holiday in Italy. One day we drove to Trento near the Austrian Border & the only car park in the mountain-top town was a large underground car park underneath the Bus Terminal that had a large entrance that narrowed considerably after the first L/hand corner. I damaged all 4 wheels down the spiralling entrance & further damaged the wheels when I exited the Park. I was gutted. Tel

Hi Wil, Put you ? to Safari or Google as someone will know the answer to your issue. Tel

Differ from the above-------D-mode is perfect for 90% of the time given Sport can & does take the car to another level of performance @ the expense of some fuel. Swifter & smoother than all previous IS models it was these qualities, together with rock solid handling, that persuaded me to let go of my wonderful ISF. Tel

Drive to the road conditions & you will be fine , Wider,lower profile tyres are not ideal for snow & ice & the Snow Mode does dampen responsiveness when engaged. Tel

My ISF was superb & great for Continental holidays but for 95% of the time it just purred along in the congested UK confined to the odd spurt past a tractor or caravan queue in the countryside. Changed to the 300h Sport which is swift in Sport Mode whilst halving running costs. I miss the superb V8 burble, its performance & the Brembo Brakes but am content as An Eco Warrior . Tel

Had 3 cars replaced due to foreign noise issues the last being a Lexus that had a "crisp bag being crushed" from behind the glove box on urban roadways with the service repairs that traverse the road. Lexus were excellent & replaced the car after 4 months of testing. Tel

My car is on a Service Plan & I have only done c.8K miles in 2 years & my Technicians are expert in the Product. In year 1 I visited France & Switzerland & in year 2 France & Italy so low milage per say is not an issue @ all. Tel

See previous Posts to resolve the issue! Tel

Spirited drive to the East Coast 46.5 mpg using D & S-Modes. Return trip same until hit very heavy traffic 10 miles from home & for the first time ever glided in Eco to complete the 95 mile commute-----49.5 mpg. Perfect. Tel

There is an excellent guide in this Forum that lists the Hybrid driving style that minimises fuel consumption. I follow the spirit on long runs & see real benefit if I keep to 75mph or below. Those drivers who religiously stick to the Hybrid Methodology in Eco Mode achieve 60+ mpg. Coming from an ISF my style & resultant mpg is perfect with Sports treacly smooth mode an added bonus. Tel

Geoff, You were driving on mixed roads & not in Hybrid-Mode so your mpg is fine.I find on a 90 Mile Motorway run I get c. 48.5 mpg . Same journey in Hybrid-Mode c.58 mpg & that stays the same for High-speed Continental runs. I love swishing around the countryside & dominating Lane 3 but never exceed 75mph & adopt Hybrid-Mode & c. 60 is easily achievable. Tel

As above Tel

I have driven @ high speeds on the Continent & have almost zero Road Rash after 2 Years but I never Tailgate 7 always have Meguiars on. I wax & Poorboys the wheels & it is these that are susceptible to Rash in my experience. Tel

Rayaan, A mit or a sponge drags grit across the paintwork whereas a soft brush soaked in good detergent mobilises the grit and sweeps it away and you rinse the brush in your second bucket of clear water negating damage.Pefectionists use running water for the clear water phase & you will be amazed how much grit is in the bottom of the rinse bucket. Sponge & Mits are old school as are chamois leather but using a Meguiars microsoft towel depends on absolute cleanliness to ensure no scratches. My ISF was very dark grey whereas my F-Sport is mid-grey & both pass the"fluorescent " light test using my method which we all agreed in the Club years ago. White cars tend to hide surface scratches so you are not aware of the potential damage your method could cause. Tel

2 years & no issues whatsoever but the car is mercury grey & I clean with a brush & dry with a Meguires Towel BUT always clean & dry from the centre of the applied film thereby pushing all grime away from the edges. Tel

The latest Version C is very good & a huge advance on the previous 7 Versions------my Milan" warning of the severe weather" we were driving into that day really made me smile. I am an Apple nut & Version C is near the Motoring equivalent & D will be even better----- I have yet to have a Device that does not have to be updated the second you get Home . My daughters Audi & Disco are Dickensian by comparison. Tel

My IS is best described as swift, particularly in Sport-mode when both on-board motors are in sync producing 231bhp from the 320 bhp available.The car certainly is "faster" my previous IS 300 & IS 250's & its smooth delivery surprises all non-hybrid peeps on most occasions & can give good economy if driven in Hybrid Mode. Like Darren I need to understand why it feels more than the stated bhp! Tel

Derby use Independent Wheel Repairers that have done a first class job in the past for me on my ISF which had a less glossy color combo than my 300h wheels! The wheel color spec. is fixed & Lexus warrant the repair. Simple! Tel

Michael, I have 2 cans of rubber solution which came with the car along with bottles of waxes.These cans are bigger than the ones on sale in Halfords but are so easy to access & use if needed as they inflate to 35 psi. Essential if you are on a long journey with a full boot of luggage. Of note, around Lake Garda I saw a few RX /CT vehicles,5 IS 300h and red & black Telsa. Tel
