Am innocent 😇 I’ve got the evidence from the Lexus Link analytics. I hope it will be admissible in court

Well I hope the Old Bill are not snooping on this platform thus ‘it was indeed a typo’ I meant to type 70mph.

From Nottingham to Hemel Hempstead last Saturday the car averaged 31.4mpg. That is with average speed of 72 mph with some sections of the M1 down to 50mph

Well it seems you’ve worked out a cruising strategy for dealing with high fuel prices 😂😂

Similarly I have bought from both their Hatfield and Ipswich branches both have excellent customer service not just for sales but when I have gone there for servicing.

Al RX from 2020 MY onwards has a built-in Wi-Fi transmitter module in the booth but is locked to Orange thus you can’t insert other SIM cards. Speak to Lexus Connectivity Team 01737 367026. They will guide you through the set up process if you wish to take up their subscription which was about £8/month for 2G data the last time I checked

See another related thread on this forum which is discussing fuel tank issues I'm not sure if the diesel tank is the same, maybe start a new thread as you'll have more of a chance of an answer. I'm wondering if it's possible to actually repair your tank. I know it's possible to re-line a petrol tank. As for the shield. Can it not be cleaned up and a metal patch welded where the hole is? Ask the mechanic and do some research. As for used, there's a Lexus breakers in Accrington. I know they have quite a few Lexus cars, I've actually been there in person for a couple of trim pieces. Look them up as they do post items.

Lovely ❤️ Enjoy the trills of the V8.

Here is the Carwow video am referring to

The Catwow video stated it is likely to be marketed around the £60K mark

Not sure I follow your point. Am a complete Lexus enthusiast and currently driving my 6th Lexus car. But that doesn’t stop me from admiring other car makes especially if they are as good looking as this Lotus. We also have other cars in our household so am not wedded to just one brand

Apparently Lotus have upped their game on R&D front; see the reviews on their other super car.

It has a Toyota 3.5 V6 so reliability will not be a worry. Obviously cannot be compared with V8 LC 500 but will surely give the V6 LC 500h a run for its money performance wise. What are your thoughts

Well it looks nice on the screen; I suppose the installation instructions were written in English; did you have to take your dashboard apart to install the kit?

A video of the 450h+ is showing here; this will most certainly be the most popular choice for UK buyers.

Sorry I didn’t know the answer to your question. Perhaps you should pose the question on the LC forum where it would get better response

It seems the delay issues being experienced by the ES buyers is model specific. I ordered an RX in the 3rd week of November 2021 and took delivery of my new car on 23March 2022; which was a record 4 months. Am ware Lexus have three manufacturing plants in Japan and the RX is built in Aichi, not sure where the ES is built? This may explain the delays, in addition to the global semiconductor shortages.

You are right I‘be checked again the Takumi does have AVS but driving it in real life it doesn’t feel as stiff when thrown into corners say @(50mph) as compared to the Fsport under the same driving conditions. I personally prefer the Takumi hence I have bought two in succession. Happy driving when you take delivery.

Hi Talapwros - the comparison may be on another thread. Certainly not here. Apar from the obvious physical features (such as alloy wheels, different grille and different interior fixtures) the major difference is the Fsport has taughtier suspension with AVS which is not fitted to the Takumi . The Takumi has more sumptuous ride.
