I think I am. Haven’t been out in the car yesterday and today. I’m intrigued. I’ve had two NX so I really should know this! 😂

I wonder what view insurance companies would have of people turning off manufacturer standard systems and warnings? Possibly undetectable though. Well apart from telling the internet you’ve done it I suppose! 😀

I have a feeling I’m in a minority as I prefer the standard grille rather than the F-Sport grille.

Personally speaking I’d go for a Premier. I’ve had a 2014 IS250 F-Sport with premium nav and ML and both options are definitely worthwhile I agree. For your budget I think I’m right in saying it would have to be an F-Sport with those options or a Premier which has them as standard.

.... nothing gained 😀

Still not something I’d bother with. In fact I’d happily go back to CDs 😀

Climate control does exactly what it says on the tin. It controls the climate inside the car. Manufacturers spend many many millions trying to perfect their systems and the results will be far better than a driver can achieve by manually setting the various controls. Keep it in Auto and if you feel cold turn the temperature up and if you feel hot turn it down.

I bet the original post wasn’t serious?

Not having it on Auto can lead to cold areas in the car. I only control mine with temperature and I keep it on Auto all the time unless trying to defrost a windscreen first thing in the morning. As soon as it’s clear I select Auto again. If the temperature in the car is massively different to the temperature set on the climate control then the fan will be working overtime to bring the cabin to the set temperature. Once the cabin is at the set temperature the fan speed should drop back down again. Auto ensures that the climate control system sets fan speed and air flow direction to optimal levels to keep the cabin at the set temperature. Unless there is a fault.

I’d better check mine! I assumed it was the same as an IS where you can temporarily disable the sensors using the switch. Haven’t needed to switch mine off on my NX. Shows how much I know! 😂

Can I ask why is it so important to have Apple CarPlay please?

Got me laughing out loud that one Linas! Cheers 😂👍

I’d switch the parking sensors off if they were continually going off.

Lexus sold a record 15,126 vehicles in the UK in 2019 beating their previous highest figure in 2007. It was also a 25% increase on 2018. 70% of these sales were SUVs. SUV sales were up by 58% over 2018. Lexus also reported strong ES sales too. I guess this is why they have axed certain models in the UK.

This is just b0110cks. Most sane people take depreciation into account when considering the real costs of running a car. Your posts are a tad condescending too. I’m sure you aren’t the only one who owns your cars. Most of us don’t advertise it.

Do you leave it set to Auto or do you normally set your own fan speed and air direction?

Spot on advice this. Exactly what I do. The TPMS system on these cars only measures and indicates a pressure loss from a defined point. Resetting the TPMS sets this defined point hence the need to accurately measure pressures, inflate as required and then re-measure and then set the TPMS to register this defined point as being exactly what the tyres should have in them. Pressure does naturally drop in very cold weather so I always try to set mine with cold tyres on a day where the ambient temperature is above about 6 degrees. Equally, natural sunlight on a summer’s day will warm a tyre which will increase it’s pressure. Not uncommon to measure a 2-3 PSI difference from side to side on a hot day, the side exposed to the sun measuring higher. Then when the temperature drops both sides measure the same again. You get the same effect by driving - the constant rolling of the tyre against the road surface and braking and cornering warms up the carcass of the tyre which in turn raises the temperature of the air inside and therefore the pressure. Hence the importance of checking and setting pressures on cold tyres.

Fake news that John 😂

Certainly a fantastic looking car. Hope you enjoy it. Sounds like you are and will! 😀

There are only lies, damn lies and statistics

Nice bike that first one.

Insurance. Road tax. Depreciation. Servicing. Consumables. Fuel / charging. Must be a bit more than hardly nothing I would think surely?

Doesn’t Tesla just upload you a brand new car after 7 years whilst you are asleep and without you knowing or even asking for it?

Great tip this one. I’ll be sure to try this when needed. Cheers! 👍

Exactly mate! When practising man maths it is especially important to leave out all data and equations that don’t support the desired result, enabling one to only focus on those that do 😂
