That made me laugh. It is a neat trick though I must admit.

Yep, all seems a bit brighter and in your face....might have to adjust a few settings...hey ho no one likes change 😉

Still prefer the Brembo Yellow ....looks like my post was taken slightly too literally, should really have given the end result. What's the latest steed, last I saw it was Aston ?

We live in a cul de sac. The boy racer at the top has a Honda with a farty exhaust. He leaves for work at 6.45am and you can set your clock by it. Talking to neighbours there is a massive amount of underlying friction. We have a few retired folk and a couple of cancer sufferers who've been through the mill. Something must have been said as he clearly coasts down the cul de sac in neutral before flooring it around the corner.

I recall when big rat had the calipers painted. Interesting to follow its journey

I guess he would have to take it up with the finance company under those circumstances but they would insist the repairs were addressed first. If he did actually pay cash then agree what a fool, not because it was an Audi, more so brand new tech... I notice buried in the comments of one of the videos he's been promised a full refund but more importantly most of the issues have been ironed out with the later edition. Haha. After reading the issues with Tesla, I'm not going near an EV until I'm forced to. He does actually comment on the problems of charging stations etc and the difficulty he encountered on a long trip (first vid of his) where he was proudly wearing his Audi 100 % electric shirt. I found that more interesting than his car leaking to be fair (not the shirt) New cars have faults, some manufacturers do better than others as we all know.

Its probably leased or on a PCP...no one in their right mind actually spends 100,000 euro on a new Audi SUV EV outright. No one buys a Lexus outright at that price either (awaits random LC 500 owner with a dodgy petrol cap to pop up) He has a warranty so it will be sorted and he'll probably chop it in when the latest fad motor pops up at the end of his deal. Its a shame we didn't hear about the electrical performance, I mean that was surely the whole point of the thread (and indeed the vehicle ) unless of course it was the usual German bashing.

Coincidence as I saw one of these plugged in today. So he had no moans about the electrical ability of the car . Paint, virtual mirrors, suspension leg ? , roof antenna and a leak. The only thing related to its electrical prowess was the plastic cover covering the storage bay for the lead was apparently cheap and a problem with what side the car was charged on, so hardly deal breakers. I would rather have heard about its ability as an electric vehicle, the rest just seem normal new model car moans that I'm sure will be addressed.

What main dealer ? Perhaps pop it back.

Yep, very odd with the alcantara . The issue is I'm fully specced up in a 2018 lovely straight six with hardly any miles on it, owned from new and it goes like stink. I accept I might have to compromise but RCF pricing is all over the shop. I buy that car and suddenly I'm looking at an 8k loss immediately if I need to get rid. I could stomach that brand new but not on a low spec 18 plate whereas an M4 / M2 would be far more palatable. I tend to change cars every couple of years and there's another guy on here with a 2017 who seems stuck in perpetuity. I guess its a keeper but ain't a mover.

Apologies for bumping the thread but my guess is this is one of the lower spec versions. It almost appears poverty spec. no ML either. Shame as I made a quick enquiry, screen looks bigger than 7 inch however. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202011186237166?sort=relevance&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=New&model=RC F&include-delivery-option=on&advertising-location=at_cars&radius=1501&make=LEXUS&postcode=bh189nr&page=1

Just looking at an RCF and no ML......this on a car that was £60k plus two years ago. I currently have Harman kardon and profess to enjoying a decent sound quality so it might be a miss.

Sold already it appears as its disappeared off AT. Anyone on here I wonder ?

This guy You win the Internet Linas....again. We're not apologists...we're cyclists. Every one of us who cycles to work ensures that you'll get there in your smartly dressed Primarni suit a nano second quicker...you should rejoice.

Its like going back to the dark ages isn't it ? The future is public transport and cycling (taking EV's out of the equation for the minute) Both have the lowest carbon footprint. I commuted for years by bicycle (and often wore a suit at the other end). We will never catch up with the Netherlands but can follow Germany, Belgium and Denmark for example who have made massive inroads. I've cycled extensively throughout Europe and the cycling commuting culture is huge and perfectly normal so we're playing catch up constantly.

Sub 5 seconds to 62 mph, 300 horses from a 4 pot, a vastly superior infotainment system, quite practical to boot plus add on your monthly savings ....loads of redeeming features in my book...sorry I forgot it has the' badge of doom '... Is that the beastie up for sale in Harrogate I see ? Best of luck with the new motor.

I wasn't comparing.....however he only needs them on the front so £4.50 difference..... whats the delivery charge on buycarparts ..oh yeah £8.45 Eurocarparts is free delivery.

Brembos £33 with the current 40% discount at Euro car parts if you can DIY...? Tyres I use Blackcircles who will give you a decent price and a local fitter https://www.blackcircles.com/

Four pot pocket rocket and look much better in the flesh. Really impressed when I sat in one at my local dealership. As someone on the err ..whisper it 'other side' I personally wouldn't object if the finances add up.

Is this Big Rats old steed ? I might have been tempted but that paddles/ gearbox issue didn't sit easy... anyway best of luck, shame it didn't work out long term for issues out of your control.

Lexus dealers will usually rob you blind. Worth selling privately ? or get a base price from someone like Wizzle. A few15 plates in the late 20's from dealers have stalled lately, a 16 might have better luck. Personally I think prices are all over the shop at the moment, to the point I just won't entertain moving on as a cash buyer.

I was the same about BMW so avoided them for 35 years. Seriously you won't get better bang for your buck at the price level. Do a back to back between a six pot 240i and a GT86 and there's no comparison, notwithstanding Toyota are now sticking that same BMW engine in the Supra. That said I respect your opinion and I still feel the same way about Audi. ps...how much for the F ? Its actually a decent time to sell, used prices are strong everywhere.

Age wise, we're probably not that far apart. I've had back operations and the lure of an SUV is there in that respect but no further I guess but I absolutely understand the reasons. The daft thing is that I can get my golf clubs and electric golf trolley into an IS but for the life of me without lowering seats or some kind of jiggery pokery an NX or UX is just too narrow. So I'm with Linas. I really think Lexus missed a trick by not bringing the RC 350 to the UK ...that said we've agreed on this matter since time began.

I've done this twice since 2014. I jumped from an IS200 to a 135i as the IS250 was literally 'dead weight' and such a wasted opportunity, came back for the IS200t (Linas will tell you about them ) then left again for another six pot bimmer. I'm only hanging around as I've been looking at getting on the RCF bandwagon ....oh yeah and its a decent forum. My dealer has a line of IS's and RC 300H's literally gathering dust (or seagull crap). I know we've had a couple of lockdowns but these cars have been stationary for nearly a year whilst they slowly inch the prices down. It seems one car becomes the demo, then a new demo rocks up and its just full of demos that no one is buying. The SUV thing is just daft. Have you seen the room in the boot of a UX, a complete joke.

It may or may not help but is an ECU reset possible ? There's a thread here where further down the page a poster with a GSF mentions I've found it resets the throttle position sensor and the gearbox shift points. If the car has started to feel a little lazy, this spices things up a bit.
