  1. Not sure I think the F-Sport suits it better
  2. All depends on what the driver wants though surely. Does your 400h handle like the GS450h? doubt it....
  3. Do you really want to give an IS-F to arnold clark though? Yes, maybe if you didn't really care about the car but no chance if you do.
  4. Depends on what you're after in a vehicle to be honest. Will it reliable? Absolutely. Will it be efficient? More than likely. Will it be fun to drive? Possibly, but depends on how you intend to use it. Its got perfect waft-ability so if you take it easy and drive smoothly, it will reward you. If you gun it all the time, it'll disappoint. The main issue I have with the CT is the ride quality. If you're happy with the CT ride quality, then you can't go wrong
  5. The CT Sport Plus was a run-out model only available in 2017. Its been discontinued because of the facelift in 2018. The differences between the pre-facelift and facelift models is dependent on trim levels, but essentially, they've changed the bumpers and grills and the specification levels. All facelift CT's come with a mesh grill. Only F-Sport variants of the pre-facelift ones have the mesh grill. As the trim levels go up, you get more kit as standard. Some of the trim levels overlap. Essentially, Premier is top spec, S is lowest spec and Luxury mid range. F-Sport is similiar to Luxury but focused on sportiness. Sport, Sport Plus, Advance and Advance Plus are all somewhere in the middle
  6. The link is for the US. We have UK software and no such thing as apps. You can visit the dealer for software updates or buy a map update which also updates the software to latest version at the time the map update came out
  7. Yep as mentioned, nothing wrong with the brakes as such, they're just catching on because of moisture. Parking in a garage doesn't solve this issue. It used to happen on my 3RX. Keep the parking brake off after washing in colder weather. You'll find its not much of an issue during the summer.
  8. Thats certainly a good job - looks factory fresh to be honest. I prefer it to the wood and I think it suits the grey interior better. Never thought brown went so well with grey anyway
  9. Issue with the trackers is that they expect them so usually know where to look. Or they just park it up for a few days to see if its being tracked.
  10. If you're getting a tracker, get a properly fitted one, not the ones you just plug into the sockets. The guys who will steal the NX, if any, will be professionals and will know how to block the signal or remove it if not fitted properly in an unexpected area. TBH you're better off getting the Ghost Immobiliser so they can't start the car in the first place.
  11. Yes but the fittings for the GS300h and GS450h, providing they are the same shape will be exactly the same. Its just a confusing picture and website.
  12. Ive only ever seen it on cars with 60k+ miles aged over 6-7 years. Premature failure would indicate a manufacturing defect in my books
  13. I hope I don't get a punture after reading all these Just spent £400 on new front tyres!
  14. Just seems very odd though. I also find the IS300h F-Sport suspension quite comfortable. Its firm but not harsh. Its better than the 3RX was and marginally less comfy than a 4RX F-Sport. Ive also been in every Merc and BMW since 2005 and found their suspensions are much harder almost across the board unless you start putting on fancy air suspension and the like. OPs previous car was a Merc C350 CDI - presumably the W204 - we have one in the family and its fine on normal roads but hit an expansion joint and it properly thumps
  15. They might want to keep it as a private car, you never know. But more likely, they're a bit dumb.....
  16. What kind of mats are you looking for? Rubber or carpet? https://www.carmats4u.com/tailored-car-mats/lexus-car-mats.html These lot do the GS300h car mats which should be exactly the same as the 4th gen GS450h
  17. Guess it was upper suspension mount after all!
  18. These bad boys are now standard. and it looks like these are on the Plus pack and above grades: Its on the RC-F UK configurator anyway but it could be wrong I suppose
  19. Perhaps turning the brightness up of the instrument cluster will help so you can read the smaller KM/H readings
  20. Headlights need to be set to auto and it needs to be dark outside. Otherwise they won't work. AFAIK, there's no switch for them as such
  21. The LEDs werent available in the UK on pre-facelift cars. However, Its definitely to do with regulations more than anything else and the height of the beam. You can always put brighter lights on - like my son did on his Golf but he now gets flashed, whereas this was not the case before (adjustments are bang on BTW)
  22. Why would throttle response have changed? Either way - I like how the previously optional forged wheels are now standard - much better design IMO. Standard wheels look pretty good too - those would be my first choice.
  23. Easiest way to is to go through the multi-information display settings in the instrument cluster itself. Should be under settings>units I think the above method is for the navigation.
  24. Looking at the current pricing of the NX and RX - it appears that the most expensive NX i.e. the F-Sport Premier, is £43995 without any options. The cheapest RX450h starts at £48645. If that pricing scheme is anything to go by, the UX F-Sport Premier (if available) might be priced the same, if not lower than the cheapest NX at £35k. If the UX is to replace the CT, I would presume the pricing to remain similiar to it. A UX F-Sport Premier at £34-35k would be £3k more expensive than the CT F-Sport Premier but would still allow young buyers to come to the brand All speculation of course and we'll find out when the pricing is revealed
  25. There's no chance it'll start at £40k. Thats NX money and IS money. This is supposed to be marketed below them so would expect a UX Premier to be around £37-38k, possibly even less. The F-Sport Premier pack if available, like the IS will probably be around £2k more than the Premier though but I think Lexus will keep these under £40k for sure
