  1. Demo cars December maybe. Delivery’s March 2019. Uk dealers in Portugal this week for official launch so should be getting more info soon.
  2. By the time your fob and house keys are in the pouch it’s not oversize. Make sure you put the keys in the back section as that’s the protection part of the pouch.
  3. Blocking pouch for me as well. They work, as I have stood next to the car with the pouch and the car will not open. Get 2, do not forget your spare key. You will soon get in the habit of putting your keys in it as soon as you come in the house. The seller on eBay is — yousave(315368) or search for “2 Car key signal blocker case Faraday Cage. 2 pouches £5.95 with postage. Simples
  4. First time out today using my wife’s blue badge, easy parking at last

  6. https://www.lexus.co.uk/car-models/ux/#hero prices and specs released
  7. UK dealer launch 9th October in Portugal.
  8. I love my IS300h because it has good mpg but still drives like a normal car. I recently test drove the small electric BMW out of curiosity. Did not like it at all, no character, no feeling, the braking when you come off the accelerator pedal was annoying. I summed it up to the salesman as “bland”, a box to get from A to B. I accept all the environmental reasons but I am old enough not be concerned that one day all cars will be electric. So it’s still a Hybrid for me. 7 months this since putting down my deposit on my UX, 5 months to go. Will try to sell my 15,000 mile 2015 IS in December as I do not need a car in early 2019.
  9. The dealer launch is October in Lisbon.
  10. My IS300 has a USB in the centre arm rest also a place to clip the lead in so the arm rest can be closed with the lead sticking out.
  11. I have asked my dealer if it’s coming South in the near future. I have had one on order since March so I am really keen to see it in the flesh.
  12. Agree. Reset is needed. The reset button is hard to find. It’s down under on the right above your leg. It’s just a black button. You can only see it by getting out on your knees by the door and look up under the cover. Press and hold, see manual.
  13. Lexus UK now say launch March 2019.
  14. Is this helpful?? r
  15. This colour is in the brochure just released. It’s Terrane Khaki There is the F Sport White and Sonic White and 11 other colours. Dealer launch next month.
  16. The Multistrada was 2016 then Epilepsy came along late in life. Got my licence back in October last year. Now I have a Ducati Desert Sled. Before my heart op in 2012 I had a BMW 1200GS, a Harley Road king and a Norton ES2 but they all had to go.
  17. By the console, take the cap off, put what’s left on eBay to recover a large part of the cost.
  18. Looks like a bit of a wait. Earliest deliveries will be end of 2018, more realistically early 2019.
  19. The reason I want a “pointless SUV” is that we are both 70 this year and getting in and out of my IS is not impossible but it should be a lot easier with the UX.. That’s my main reason. I have had 6 new Lexus IS’s and I do want a change of style and a little bit smaller. I believe the 4WD option is an electric motor on the back axle which I have no need for so I am hoping I can get a top of the range model in 2WD. like 99% of the people who buy these SUV’s their driveway is as far off road as they will ever go. If it was called a mini estate car would that be more acceptable?
  20. If the models follow the NX then I am hoping for a luxury around £33k to £34k
  21. I bought a trickle charger which I am sharing with my son in law. We bought the CTEC as others advised. I used it for the first time over the weekend as the car has not had much use lately due to the weather and I wanted to try it out. After 7 hours it was showing the green light so I discontented it. The next day when I went out I noticed my hybrid battery was down too 2 bars, which is much lower than normal driving. Any thoughts?
  22. All the pictures so far have been the sport I think. This looks like the other option, small vents at the front.
  23. Exactly correct.
  24. I put a deposit down at the beginning of the month. Happy so far with the photos, now waiting for models and prices.
  25. Battery checked today and found to be good. It was just purely lack of use. One thing I did learn today is that if you are away someone just puts the ignition on the car will obviously start but it will stop but the hybrid battery will keep on charging the 12v battery. The biggest battery user while you are away from the car is it continually searching for the key. I have bought a trickle charger though.
