  1. Must admit my 2nd generation RC300h is returning very close to it's WLTP figures. Much, much more realistic compared with the 1st gen manufacturers MPG figures.

  3. To be fair models do differ in this. My RC will always revert to Normal mode and will allow one to use EV mode when the ICE is cold, as long as one presses the buttonn before the ICE starts up (approx 10sec, up from 2-5sec in my 1st gen RC) That all said there is no problem with selecting to ECO from cold equally no problem selecting Sport+ if desired. If there were the car wouldn't allow it!

  5. Not sure I follow the reasoning here. How does the diff "adjust" both wheels? Surely (unless it's a LSD) it's simply relative rotation through the crown and pinion gears? If there really is a 'jerk' from the rear there must be play in the diff gears, adjustment of the thrust bearing but I can't imagine it's the problem. I get a pronounce 'jerk' when exiting my driveway on full lock but only in the colder months and when it first happened (in my first RC back in 2016) I thought I'd actually run over a brick! I now know it's just the effect of tyre flex and extreme steering angles. More and more common on many marques as wheels get bigger/wider and tyre walls shorter shod with summer (warmer temp) optimised tyres.
  6. Is there any point in not servicing it annually?
  7. See here.. (It can depend on how one counts the speakers as some are double cone units..) https://www.marklevinson.com/in-lexus.html#es
