    Catalyst metals are not consumed or permanently altered by use, so makes no difference whether hybrid or not. Unfortunately the scum that steal these things don't know this and believe what the press tell them..

    Specifying the 2019 F-Sport with Takumi Pack is(was) approx £1500 cheaper than going for the Takumi grade. What does the Takumi grade get that the F-Sport + Takumi pack doesn't? Keeping in mind the F-Sport has AVS and LFA style meters that the Takumi doesn't get.

    Done deliberately to drive the desire to upgrade to the model, as many marques do. Omit some functions in lower grade models/series but included as standard on more expensive versions creates model/grade differentiation. Then include them in the next face-lift..

    Probably, with Techstream but why would you want to?

    Not forgetting the rain water running off the roof and onto the car seat each time one opens the doors!

    No resync of the windows and sunroof one-touch operation?

    First off, there is no alternator on a hybrid car. The 12v battery is recharged using the traction battery. I've haven't used my CTEK on my RC but I see no issue with connecting directly to the battery terminals as I did on my Mercs. Or you could use the jump start terminals in the engine bay as detailed in the handbook? I personally wouldn't disconnect the 12v battery to trickle charge it.

    There are aftermarket kits available to increase the height of car seats, some are also adjustable. They are installed between the seat runners and the floor mountings. A quick Google should throw up some candidates. An awful lot cheaper that a replacement seat...

    No button on the side of the seat base?

    Wow! Your speedometer has shoes? Was that an optional extra or after-market?

    Every car I've owned has suffered this, inherent in the design of the window rubbers with a felt insert to help reduce scratches. Nothing to be done, except don't wind the windows down until the water has evaporated!

    You'd think so but it's really quite easy! As easy as my CLS55 and there's less nannying electronic intervention..

    Really? One purchases a 1yr old Lexus, not a cheap car and then quibbles over a couple of quid a day ( effectively) on servicing? All part of ownership surely?

    Just driver error.. But one needs a full English first, to sharpen the reflexes .,..

    I used d:class automotive to retrim my Mercedes in nappa leather, two tone and a custom design. It was a good 10yrs ago, cost was approx £2k. It included installing seat heaters to the rear seats..

    It's because they dim, they contain a photochromic layer. Must admit to not noticing a distinct band before, just a general blue hue across all but the very edges of the mirrors.

    I've found that SMS messaging won't work if the phone is acting as a hotspot or is tethered to the NAV system providing live weather/parking/fuel prices etc..

    And a cream interior ...

    The fashion for wide, ultra low profile tyres doesn't help the situation.

    I have used D:class in Cobham, they did a complete interior retrim in Nappa leather on my Mercedes. They can source original spec leathers. Excellent service and first class workmanship https://www.dclass.co.uk/

    Any decent retrim shop should be able to replace the split panels with identical leather for significantly less than those quotes. Many such slits can be repaired in situ, virtually invisibly. Your location may be the biggest hurdle though...

    My RC does it during the colder days. Many marques do it, including Mercedes and Porsche....

    Ditto.. My car is getting seriously grubby even on the shortest of trips! I am really amazed at how the front wheel fling up so much muck on to the sides, equally bad on the rear. My dealer has said there is no plans to provide mud flaps for the 2019 model. I still can't see why the flaps from a pre-fcelift can't be fitted to the fronts at least but no, dealer says they will not fit.
