Goggy

I went for the black rather than the ivory. It seemed to go better with the Sonic Titanium. Ivory is nice as well though.

A nice and positive review here. http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/530189/Motoring-Review-New-easy-rider-Lexus

From what I hear, the true MPG on a 200t is 27-30, but only time will tell.

"It's so ... black!" said Ford Prefect, "you can hardly make out its shape ... light just seems to fall into it!" Zaphod said nothing. He had simply fallen in love. Like that. :) Nice description. That is some awesome car you have there my friend. Enjoy.

I have a 300h on order but decided not to go with Sat Nav, mainly because I would rarely need it and when I do my iphone Sat Nav does the job well enough. I only need that about once a month. So i had Panoramic roof instead. I have to say I think most Sat Navs are still way over priced in most cars these days. had it been £500 I may have been tempted, but at £1k it was something I can live without.

With any Hybrid car it is all down to the type of journey and the way you drive. I have owned a CT for 4 years and the mpg varies from 45 - 65 depending on the roads, driving conditions and my mood. Yesterday in my CT, i drove to see my daughter who lives 75 miles away. The journey is mainly motorway and 'A' roads. I managed 55 mpg. I do a regular trip to another town about 30 miles away which is all 'A' and 'B' roads and can get up to 65 mpg as my speed rarely goes above 50 mph. The best speed for a hubrid is in the 30-45 range, which means the battery takes over more. When I just doing local trips to shops, or taking the wife to work etc the mpg is down to 45, this is because the engine has hardly warmed up before it is switched off again. If I am in a hurry I drive more aggressively and my mpg drops 10% but if I am really careful and drive so that I am keeping the hybrid on low revs it can go up by 10%. Overall in winter my average is 45 but in summer 55 roughly. These are figures for the CT I currently own. When I get my NX I will report back.

LOL, yes, that is a bit of a contradiction isn't it. What I mean is I wanted the right spec and colour and if they had something close I would still be prepared to wait for the spec I want, although, the sooner it comes in the better. Is that better? :)

I've had my Ct for four years now. As a rough guide In winter I average 45mpg, in summer 52mpg. I do use the car mainly for short runs where the engine has barely warmed up, so I am possibly a worse case scenario. On longer motorway journeys I average 55 mpg. On 'A' and 'B' roads I have seen over 65, but mostly they are 60. Hope this helps.

Well I've done it, I've just ordered a 300h Luxury with panoramic sunroof. protection pack and convenience pack, in Sonic titanium. I've owned a CT200h for four years and have been very happy with it so I'm sticking to Lexus despite some other good cars for a similar price being in the frame. I just so like the ambiance and feeling of luxury when sitting in the car. It also looks awesome. There is some concern over MPG as I currently get about 50 mpg form the CT, but the alternatives were much the same for a med/large SUV, but as I don't do mega miles I felt the extra petrol money over a year would not break the bank. I've been told it should be about Sep/Oct before I get it. I'm in no hurry so that is fine. Can't wait.
