Not a view to which I subscribe, but good luck anyway.

Tis a brilliant machine. I had one for a weekend once--auto and it was faultless.Ideal for a single person. A pity they are no longer imported.

Why are you not taking professional advice?. The views of us members are a poor. substitute.

Good try Roger. This evening it was a white Burgundy I picked up in France on my way down. I could not find the usual Chablis ! Oven cooked vegetables with white Merluza (Hake), followed by Local Cherries and Yoghurt. Oh to be retired!!.

And you didn`t warn him Roger? tut,tut.

But do not go anywhere near to a Nisan CVT box!

Whatever happened to this theen? uberrimae fidei When I WAS STUDYING FOR ONE OF MY NATIONAL CERTIFICATES IN BUSINESS STUDIES IN 1963, THIS WAS THE CARDINAL PRINCIPLE UNDER WHICH INSURANCE CONTRACTS WERE CONDUCTED. My, how times change!

Sloth (surely you must have a Christian name I can warm to?), many thanks for providing the background against which your purchase was made. I understand where you are coming from, but having spent 42 years of my life chasing my tail, my experience tells me that researching any decision which is capable of having consequences, is not farting around. It is a pre-requisite to informed decision making. I am fortunate in that my engine is a 3.5 litre V6 and it just glides.Gears are irrelevant as they do not exist and progress, rather than acceleration, is progressive and linear.The car continues at speed even when the pedal is lifted as the electric motor comes into play. I am sure that your Lexus engine has similar characteristics and that if you can invest the time to harness its character, quality and unique abilities, you will begin to appreciate what a superb vehicle it is. I look forward to reading your future contributions as to how you are getting on with it. Regards John.

Met some Yanks a couple of years ago,on a golfing trip to Vilamoura. They wanted to know if London was the capital of Wales ! Traveled part of the NW500 a couple of years ago. We were staying in the Factors House in Cromarty on the Black Isle and traveled in the Merc to Ullapool, up to Elphin and then East to Rosehall and Bonar Bridge and back to Cromarty for the night. I imagine that it will take a good week to travel the entire route, but it will need thinking about in terms of direction of travel and accommodation en-route.

Try and do some more research as I have heard that they offer cheap and thin s/s systems. Ask to speak to some of their customers. I have not used them myself and merely urge you to be cautious.

I really should not goad you Roger---I picked up my first Speeding Ticket in over 50 years, in Fife a few months ago, and I was mortified. My wife has dined out on my poor driving skills for 2 months!

I am more than surprised that anyone can shell out (or have his Company shell out) £46k without driving the car any distance or for any length of time. I have both a Merc and a Lexus and they require a different set of driving skills. An educational process needs to take place, me thinks.

Only 8 lives left Roger! Exceeding 70mph on an open road which contains a parked/stopped vehicle.....tut,tut ! Always expect the unexpected mi amigo.

Is Dan a real person or is he a repeat automatic message?

You have not been watching this Forum Hangie, have you? Welcome to THE GOOD NEWS OF 15 YEAR HYBRID BATTERY WARRANTY. (LOL)

Welcome John. You now have what has been described as the most reliable motor car on the Planet. Enjoy it. Did you buy from a Lexus Dealer?

How long before the AA arrived ?

Thanks Phil.It sounds stunning.I once drove from here (Andalucia) to Fallingbostal near Hannover and enjoyed it immensely. I drive from Wirral to here twice each year (and back) and can appreciate your sentiments about travelling and the geography of all around you..

Why spend thousands on a plug in Dave when you can keep the only girl you ever cared about for nothing ? Plug ins are for the afterlife !! (lol)

Are we to expect a full report with piccies on your pan-european adventure, of have I missed it?

And I am still sipping my Rioja old pa here in sunny Andalucia!

Reminds me of Gotham City and Batman ! Bet you cannot wait for Winter Phil.

Factual and succinct.Many thanks.

It`s a Vadermobile ?

So, where do you think it should have been classed by Lexus?
