Initial P

Yeah premier all the way if going 450H Mk4.

They have BT for music, also USB, aux, cd/dvd & DAB great car.

Battery can be a ticking time bomb on the older cars from everything I've read here over the years. Maybe someone will tell me I'm wrong.

Doesn't premier get electric tailgate too which would be a bit odd on a saloon as it hardly a reach.

Plane old GS250 F Sport doesn't have this feature prob a good thing as I'm quite unlucky.

F Sport tyres even on 250 are expensive trust me 😉

Another car owner lost to suv sad times.

Lexus Hatfield phoned again the other day to tell me about another used car event 😒 never ending since I got that recall done & I said to the guy the same as above their is nothing in the current range to replace the GS & even the fwd ES interior is a step backwards.

Lexus=Japanese Merc. Just a shame there is nothing really in the same class to replace the GS. My father in law wants to buy a Freelander 2 I keep telling its built in Liverpool (Halewood) but he won't listen !

Toyota's are well built.

I've been called on the phone, sent texts & had letters in the post.

Be prepared to be contacted about lots of used car events once its done 🙃

I had my alternator replaced on my old 57 plate GS300 with a OEM Denso unit & the guy said that the after-market ones were a but hit & miss. I had a issue on my 13 plate 250 GS where the battery terminals were a bit leaky & not easy to clamp on with the negative so wasn't getting the amp draw which affected starting which all got sorted with a new battery. Although I swear the price was about £10 more on the battery once the cold weather kicked in Eurocar parts pure cheek !

Every since getting this done I've been phoned, sent texts & had letters in the post trying to get me to come to used car events ect 😒

This is one of those "wally" moments we have all had in life.

I have this on my GS250 13 plate hardly use it though & have never used cruise.

My insurance went up from £508 to £640 this year with no changes.

Don't you mean with "Ze" Germans nice colour btw makes change from black or silver.

Great service today from Lexus Hatfield the work was carried out by 12pm & I was called to say the car was ready for collection & when I came to collect at 16:30 they had put in 20 litres of free fuel as a thank you from Toyota for any inconvenience. They gave my car the once over & found no faults. As the the loaner car is was great for what it was but made me appreciate my ML sound system when I got my car back. Pretty quick & quiet I'm not sure why cvt gearboxes get so much hate it felt great to me & I could fit in our buggy easy so the mrs liked it too. Was getting about 44mpg. Maybe a GS450H face lift will be on the cards next or even a ES300H.

Dropped my car off this morning & got given a birds car not driving FWD in quite some time (10years+) & it was a bit wet out here & the wheels were slipping under power. Still it was my first ever experience of a hybrid or electric vehicle.

I usually go by tank cruising range myself.

I still see a lot more of these around (ES) compared to any GS from any year. I had a look at one in the showroom at Hatfield last week & thought I could live with it interior & looks rise. Been FWD it would go against some of my engineering beliefs.

Even my local Joe's Motors (Indie) cash guy wasn't as cheap this for my oil service + brake pads.

After hearing nothing since March and starting to wonder if I would ever get a call back... I was driving past Hatfield last Tuesday so called in & they said they had just had a delivery of the 65 of the parts (what a coincidence !) so its all booked in for 14th Aug. They made me a nice coffee & said I could get a re-bodied Toyota Camry (ES300) as a courtesy car either way it will be some sort of hybrid which I've never driven before or a front wheeler for over 13 years now.
