I second that on longer trips in F-sport I get 50mpg.. normal local daily I get 38mpg

Never had issue with it, last year we did 1350 miles around the UK with 3 kids in tow, no bother. I suspect you don't like the subwoofer parcel shelf?

Folks i have some exciting news..... there is official roof rack available from Lexus for the IS: https://lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/product/lexus-is-roof-rack-2013-onwards/ Part #: PZ41B-C1610-GA I called Lexus Edinburgh initially to confirm and i was told they sold one back in march for a customer. when you open front and rear door you will see along the frame there is 2 hole which are used by the pins for the roof rack. He also said it has thick rubber contacts for both the door frame and the roof and thus should never damage the paint. I should also point out despite all the noise around this i don't actually have bikes yet 😂 At least now i know i dont have to get rid of the car...Yet.... 🙂

And where do I stick the kids?? 😂

Thule website does not show any products for IS 2013+

Seems there is no one magical solution 😞 I have to admit its getting really annoying trying to find a compromise...

Found this, they sell the roof bars and racks for the IS 2013+ https://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/rbvehsel3.php?emulate=roofbar&query=8124 Price is decent too

Sure it does the job, even the sat nav has not let me down... but you gotta admit its well past it sell-by-date graphically. It would defo give the car the wow factor...but agreed £700 is sill money

And it seems those boot racks do actually scratch the car! I saw an amazon review of one after following an image of an IS300h with one fitted..... the edge of the boot lid gets scratched beyond belief... so i will defo not be getting a boot rack. That leaves 3rd party roof rack or tow bar.... or sell the car and get a VW Camper 😂

So you kept the original screen ie. 7" the £729 is the full 10.25 " android unit. Maybe cheaper to pickup a firetablet and tape it on 😂

i'd been looking for UK based sellers for a while but £729 is a bit on steep side but i suppose would you possibly get it cheaper by the time you paid shipping an import tax if buying from overseas? The real plus side is the 2 year warranty if buying in the UK, i cannot see the overseas sellers honouring that.

Im very nervous about these types of carriers.... does yours only carry 1 bike? have you noticed any scratches or dent from multiple uses??

I have seen them and ive seen Is300h with them fitted. But in order to fit them you would have to take the bumper off.. too me that translate to too much trouble. But i realised some other members have done some interesting things with their car, see here:

So it definitely can be done: Hope it helps anyone else searching for answers in the future

Interior lights? I changed the bulbs when is had the is250 to ice white.

How do you fit the roof rack??

I just went outside and looked at the car and realised there is nowhere to a fit roof rack!! Lexus really?

Spoiler would be one. I think car would enter 2022 with an android audio upgrade plus you would get a 10" screen. While original does the job it's bland and wasted screen space. Carbon fibre trims?

They must have added it to the fuel tank.

Confusing but that is what the paperwork says

Reviving this topic as i have picked up the love for MTB and now want to invest in my own bikes. At present i will be looking to carry 2 bikes but could extend to 3 bikes next year. Any elegant solutions? im not keen on the idea of boot racks, i fail to see how they cannot scratch or dent the boot lid. Any photos would be helpful too

Just had a look over the invoice.... 2 x power max additive's £0.00 Engine Flush £41.66

Suspend Guidance In the nav menu

I was asked back in Jan when i went in for service... i opted for it that time but its not something i would do regularly and yes it was chargeable.

Mines does it.. I have F-sport with memory seat also
