Yes the Premier has an LED unit. The whole unit needs to be changed once they go. Its not outrageous, just the way LED units are.. These aren't cheap £10 halogen bulbs we're talking about and all cars with LED light units need the whole unit replaced rather than a bulb However, Its very unlikely for the unit to fail and I would check for other causes like fuses

Appears that you are correct - Doesnt seem to mention it in the brochure either - just says power tailgate. Why would you leave that feature out? Just seems a bit odd

Yep unfortunately when houses were being made, they didnt exactly plan for the future! You can actually get some padded material which sticks to the walls if damage is your main concern, providing you can get out in the tightest of spaces. My RX pretty much takes over the whole space with very little either side - hence why I usually park quite far away!

The UX is only 3cm wider than an IS - thats 1.5cm on each side and I dont think you would notice it The length is quite a lot shorter than an IS. In the grand scheme of things, the UX is a pretty small car. The main problem nowadays is that the vast majority of Garages are absolutely tiny. They wouldn't fit in a mid size saloon car which should atleast be the standard.

I wouldnt bother with GPS - insurance companies will use it against you if you were happening to go 1mph over the speed limit.

Absolutely loads to choose from - RS4 Avant, E63, Mustang, S6, S7, S8, M5, M6, RS7, RS5, Chevy Camaro, 760LI, Dodge RAM if you fancy it

Yes they should do. They're much more stable than the early ones. The 13 plates up to 14 plates used to come on software causing crashes and glitches. I updated mine myself when we could download them ourselves off Lexus Tech website and haven't had an issue since.

By going after fleet. Like they mentioned a few weeks back. Expect to see a Lexus hybrid in every car park now lol

The only reviews that I bother watching nowadays In terms of the interior, the moving bit is a bit wierd and I would assume that will almost certainly be fixed on production models. As for the materials, the lower doors are no different to a GS. These are all pre-production models. I remember when they tested the RX pre-production models in the US and they had a few trim pieces moving about and all sorts Its quite funny when they say - "oh you do hear the engine when you floor it" - yet I heard very little.... or maybe Im going hard of hearing Oh my, If I remember correctly, didn't the RX win a test in Carwow against an X5 - that stirred things up in the comments lol And it does burnouts!!

Tacky..... Just get a new part and replace it once you found out how.

They take the mick to be honest. Have you been in an E class? There's cheap plastic everywhere. There's metal effect plastic buttons for gods sake. The door cards are plastic but audi uses door pulls that are plastic yet nobody says anything. You have to pay £200-300 for a leather pack. I didn't think the other cars come with leather dashboards either? Also we're talking about a bunch of idiots who said that the GS-F had an indecisive gearbox, scratchy plastics and switchgear from a bygone era

Software bugs. A lot of the earlier ones are still running on the first software from build.

The ergonomics are fine in the new RX. I can't complain and never look for where things are. I thought the 3RX had a sliding armrest which can be left in that position?

I think they're still updating it. The phone app has everything you need.

It's for the active sound control. It makes a noise to simulate gear changes to provide an "enjoyable driving experience". Personally I think it's rubbish and leave it off

Ive downloaded the app now too. So from what I understand - whether you register on the app or MyLexus, its the same thing and you just use the same username and password to login to both However, MyLexus on desktop doesnt have any service info The app has quite detailed info but the vehicle needs to be verified using V5

I thought the NX now has the Kick function to open the boot?

Yep youll have to register it to the portal using the V5. Its good how it works on the app but it should work on the website too and it just doesnt!

The 16" wheel/tyre combination is designed for economy in mind, not performance so Im not surprised by the behaviour as the tyres are relatively narrow for quite a big car. In 16" size the tyres are mainly touring tyres rather than performance ones as well, especially those that have a huge sidewall.

Lexus released the official AVS update in December 2016. I would presume 66 plates registered after this would have AVS fitted but, there are always some cars which lie around for a bit and don't get registered so its not a hard fact. However, its unlikely the AVS is fitted to the September 66 plate. Presumably the AVS ones have a Sport S+ mode unlike the others? Caliper colour is Orange on all GS-F's - bright orange! There's an absolutely fantastic looking Sonic Titanium GS-F with red leather and 17k on Autotrader for £38k. Im half tempted - would only have to put £1k down if swapping the RX.....hmmmm

When sorting my son's insurance out with Admiral, I asked about this They gave a £25 discount for having the dashcam. However, they said that seen as though I told them I have a dashcam on that car, they would still ask for footage even if I didn't want the discount. Obviously, took the discount lol They said payout won't be affected by a faulty dashcam as they make their own assessments anyway and dashcam's only provide evidence. Was told that you would have to pay the discount back though.

It stands out much more than any 2+2 coupe that I can think of less than £100k. Blooming heck, it might actually be one of the most standout vehicles in £150k especially when you look at the Merc S coupe price etc

Its always more expensive when you come to change during the policy though. At renewal, I bet the price is actually quite competitive

Its quite difficult really because he could say he was just doing his job and its not his fault that a stone decided to project out of the lawnmower. "Act of God" or the newer term "outside of human control" might apply.

It is fitted as standard. You just have to enable it. Dealer will do it for free providing you know that its not their responsibility if you manage to flood the car in the rain
