  1. Pretty reasonable MPG. Ive got to the point where I dont even bother about MPG anymore lol as long as its not crazy bad The F-Sport seats Ive found are very stiff when new and they seem to ease in, mine are quite soft now albeit different vehicles.
  2. Yes, the delivery times and dates all depends on which vehicles are in stock in the country, which are on the way on the boat and which need to actually be built from scratch. The more awkward combinations will take the longest to arrive understandably
  3. China has an absolutely huge market for these things. I dont suppose itll be made available anywhere else
  4. Stick them on ebay or something for a like £50 each they'll probably go fairly quick
  5. Sounds about right. I changed my Bridgestones at 16k The above replies are all irrelevant as the only all season tyres available in 235/55 R20 currently are the Michelin Premier LTX AT £310 a tyre or the Michelin Latitude Tour HP. Both have H speed ratings so check with insurance company beforehand as they're lower than the V rating on the OEM tyres
  6. Sonic white isn't an F-Sport colour anyway though. Ive seen a couple of ES' on the road. Both were white and non F-Sport. Looked great, really stood out.
  7. Usually if you go for the Luxury or Premium mats - i.e. around £40-80 ones theyre pretty good
  8. That's what sonic titanium looks like most of the time. If you look at the pictures they're taken in classic UK grey cloudy lighting I suppose the poser thing is more about the car than the colour. BMW 3 series, classic poser car 😂
  9. Because the NX is based on the previous RAV4 and not the current RAV4. Additionally, it doesn't make financial sense to put a new engine in a vehicle thats going to be replaced in a year. The new NX is literally just around the corner and will be on the updated chassis and most likely feature the RAV4 engine.
  10. Well, they always have something to grumble about dont they If Lexus fixed the infotainment and made it good, they'd probably start complaining about the price lol
  11. Yes, was done many months ago. No idea when itll be released though
  12. Dont like sonic titanium, always thought of it as a dull colour to be honest. Hence why we have two white Lexus F-Sport vehicles! Id go for the white if given that choice but I do think the ES F-Sport looks really good in Black Autotrader is your friend:
  13. I watch it. Mainly cos its better than most of the other drivel on TV - just to pass the time more than anything
  14. It is worth noting that some cars do general tend to wear unevenly anyway. Quite commonly, negative camber on german cars causes the rears to wear on the insides, and positive camber up front causes wear on the outside. Supposed to be better for high speed cornering apparently. Additionally, all tyres are not the same. Sometimes different brand/type replacement tyres will wear differently to OEM tyres as some tyres will be wider/narrower than others. Having said all that, the biggest cause in the UK is town driving. Potholes will knock off the alignment.
  15. Thats similiar to the 4th gen RX. You have to get the wipers into service mode by pressing the off switch, then holding the wiper stalk all the way up. They'll do half a wipe and stop there so you can change blades, wash underneath etc
  16. I presume they just replaced the whole centre console interface.
  17. Which trim level was this? Im yet to drive one, I believe an all electric UX is coming out soon UX300e which would be ideal for my wife.
  18. Brake squeal is also a known problem on the RC-F. They seem to just change the pads over Having said that, its just a characteristic of the Brembo brakes Pretty sure that someone mentioned a while back that changing over to less performance oriented brake pads solves the issue and causes no significant difference in stopping power for general road use
  19. Fairly positive 🙂 Not soon until we get a new NX then 😋
  20. Whilst thats true for the 2013 IS, they dont seem to list the 2nd generation IS on there https://textar.com/textar-oe_oes-releases/?lang=en-gbr
  21. Yep it was the lack of roof rails and I dont think it had the front underrun either. You might want to check out something like Tuf Shine, its more of a tyre coating than a dressing so tends to look good wash after wash
  22. Hulks insides seem to be a bit beige no?
  23. Ill tell you something about ECP brake discs and pads and I dont know if this is true for all of them However, for a friends son's Hyundai, he needed pads and discs all around. Got them from ECP with their 50% off brakes - Brembos They didn't fit correctly, they were way too tight in the rear and needed grinding down (not the first time this has happened from ECP). Showed them to the mechanic and he was pretty adamant they were not original brembo quality and claimed they were very good knock offs. He claimed that a lot of the brake pads and discs on the market are very good knock offs and even if buying from a reputable company theres a chance they'll be fakes
  24. Had the exact same decision to make when changing from a 3rd Gen RX and went for the 4RX. Few reasons - the RX is much more refined than an NX in any guise, the interior quality is better as is the stability at speed. The RX rear suspension does squeak over bumps, but then so do the NX ones with the same mileage. We've got an IS300h too and TBH the NX didn't feel much better and I felt it was quite lethargic. The RX picks up very well. The V6 is buttery smooth and makes a pleasant growl too. It just feels much more like a premium product, test drive both, you'll see what I mean.
  25. Very nice I suppose the profile pic needs updating? Im being picky but maybe a tyre dressing would give you that extra pop that you're looking for?
