  1. Is anyone else finding the F-Sport wheels incredibly easy to Kerb or is it just my wife!!! she's on a wheel per month so far... i'm waiting til she's done the set before i get them sorted out. (I may even go for a complete colour change to black.) Andy
  2. thanks.. i doubt the tyre needs to come off.. giving her the benefit of doubt and inspecting the damage i wonder if it was actually a stone impact
  3. Three weeks old, less than a thousand miles and one slightly kerbed rear wheel..! I know i didn't do it...wife denies all knowledge!!! Any recommendations on fixing? Lexus Dealers the best place?
  4. Another vote for F-sport white and standard.. but then again i might be biased too..
  5. I've just had test drive of a new (69miles on clock 63plate) F-sport with nav and std seats. It did not have auto folding mirrors, you had to push the button. I'd assume auto folding mirrors only come with the leather option, as it adds memory to the elec seats. Yes you're right sorry, the auto fold is part of the leather option not the nav... I have to confess given the positive comments you see about lexus and how they treat customers i find it surprising and disappointing that their sales guys seem to have a complete lack of knowledge about their product... basic 101 for sales.... Know your product...!
  6. Hi, ordered mine in October and took delivery two weeks ago.. White F-Sport without Nav. It doesn't have a reversing camera. It has manual folding mirrors... you have to press the button wo move them in or out and they do not automatically fold on locking. (you get that on the f-sport if you order Nav) The rectangular mouse type controller is part of the Nav option as well so the non sat nav car comes with a rotary dial that also moves about like the mouse controller, i mean you can push it up, down, left and right, to move between options. (personally i prefer it to the mouse controller the demo car had) Andy
  7. According to page 136 of the manual you can customise the key fob to close and open windows by holding the lock and unlock buttons... but... it needs to be customised by the dealer so not sure if its done by default or if you'll have to go to the dealer. i'll try mine tomorrow in the daylight and if its not pee'ing down
  8. So looking in the manual it suggests there is a button somewhere below the steering column that you would use to reset the tpms.. i can't see any buttons and was wondering if the f-sport comes with tpms? or is this another one of those options you only get with Nav? Also.. if i switch to DAB i only seem to get a limited number of stations and can't find any BBC DAB stations.. i've tried re-scanning and still don't get anything other than what it had when i collected it? any guidance welcome before i resort to visiting the dealer... A.
  9. hmm thats interesting.. ive had the opposite problem.. iPhone 5 just doesn't seem that responsive on USB and works much better on blue tooth.. perhaps i'll play with it some more as i've got the day at home tomorrow so can spend some quality time playing with all the gadgets.. :-) i haven't tried to find parking lights so i also look forward to that feature being explained..
  10. First trip into London today was great. Such a smooth drive and lots of interest in the car when I was sitting in the queues.. The guys in the office have decided it looks like a stormtrooper from the front.... Apparently if I'd gone for black it would've looked like Darth Vader
  11. lol.. i had a terrible nights sleep on friday before i got mine at the weekend... on the plus side i did my first "regular" trip into london today.. Doen the M1, round the north circular and into the office and then back again this afternoon.. BMW 520d used to get me about 45-50 mpg... Lexus IS 300h today....... 46.2 :-) and petrol is considerably cheaper and the company pay me 24p instead of 14p per mile... Result.....
  12. No reversing camera in mine so must be part of navigation package... No way it's worth 2k and IMO the rotary controller you get with non navigation is much better to use than the mouse my demo with Nav had
  13. Thanks, just been out and got one of these fantastic little devices.. works a treat and no damage to the vent either... i would definitely recommend to any other non-navigation drivers...
  14. Hi all, so... the car is still lovely and im so glad i chose it over the bmw.. I didn't go for Nav, as i have tom tom on my iPhone anyway but i'm having trouble finding a decent phone mount that will either stick to the windscreen (and stay there) or attach elsewhere.. I wondered if anyone else had found a good mount that works in the 300h? Andy
  15. Well, that is truly amazing... just had a fantastic cruise back home feeling just a little superior to everyone else on the road. 3 miles on the clock when i picked it up, 112 miles later with an average mpg of 42mpg. Which i think is pretty exceptional considering that was 75mph for 117 miles on M6, M1 and then just a little bit of slower roads. Excellent fuel economy considering it was hardly ever in Electric mode. Yes the suspension is firm but i like it like that, it's an F-sport after all. the best bit of all... on the whole journey i didn't see another single car the same as mine. Well done Lexus... a true gem for us company car drivers :-)
  16. i'm so impatient... truth is i'm going to drive 120 miles tomorrow to collect it and then drive home because i couldn't wait til tuesday when the dealer would've been able to deliver... i'll certainly post my thoughts after the first two hour journey back from the dealer.
  17. £700 ok... perhaps i'll leave the car standard then... that's ridulous On the plus side... al confirmed and i will be driving my F-sport tomorrow :-)
  18. Just had a call from the dealer.. My F-sport is being delivered either tomorrow or Monday..... Please let it be tomorrow otherwise this weekend is really going to drag. might have to get the rear spoiler.. does anyone know what the cost is? Andy
  19. Lol... I'm just too impatient... I detest my BMW now..
  20. i'm in the cant wait wont wait camp.. mine arrives at the dealers this friday and is going to be delivered to me Monday. i simply refuse to wait any longer and certainly not three weeks just for the sake of a 14 plate.. it's a company car so any impact on the final value makes no odds to me..
  21. My white 300h F-sport is on its way from the factory arrives at the dealers on Friday next week and delivered to me on Monday :D I'm counting down the sleeps.... it's been on order since end of October...
  22. I checked the exact theft (i mean tax) differences this morning.. my current 520dSE costs me £260 a month in tax, the Lexus is going to cost me £147 as i have to pay a whopping £29 a month towards the white paintwork. so all in all a saving in the order of £113. But as i get 14p a mile in the BMW and 25p a mile in the Lexus i'll also be a little better off there too as long as the Lexus delivers on its promises... and from the test drives i had i have no reason to suspect it won't.
  23. much better than the BMW that just makes an annoying constant beep and then just turns them off! Obviously the wrong type of snow...
