I personally believe that Lexus sales staff have a a slightly exaggerated view of their own importance - to a degree. I'm willing to bet that you get a follow up asking what they need to do to secure a deal (when it's too late). Same happened to me twice. I try to make it clear that whilst I understand that they need to make a profit we all have budgets and I make my best (and fair) counter-offer. If it's declined I don't hang around or try to batter them with further comms. That's what best and final offer means.

Does this help? This was a couple of months ago but still current I think.

Trackpad. The system works really well I find and I hardly ever actually use the pad whilst driving. I use an Android dongle and the voice controls are excellent - apart from asking Google to play a specific music track and then it's a lottery! One thing the car does that may have a bearing is that it connects to the house wifi every time it's on my driveway.

Not sure where I find that info but the attached shows the release at the bottom, I think.

Since upgrading, mine now tells me when the doors are open and the trip record works fine. Two trips to Melton yesterday with mpg that makes me smile. 😁

Even if I had a 'AC' button I would leave it on anyway as the best way to stop misting up. I'm not sure why and although I have checked the car for damp, this passed week or so my rear screen has been very heavily condensed! The rear screen demister seems to take an eternity to clear it but it does clear eventually. Maybe it's just the 'Season of Mellow Fruitfulness' having its way!

Thing is: A. I wanted low-priced running costs and B. I don't want to burn down the building. Thanks for everyone's help though! 😜

One thing I know from reading/following this forum is that there are some clever characters on board who appear to not only give good advice but do it in a non condescending manner. I know it's not car related but could anyone advise on a method of heating and when I say that I mean basically just taking the chill-off my garage, using a solar powered heater? I see that 12v fan heaters are readily available (to thaw cars apparently) but can I just buy a 50w solar panel, wire-on a 12v aux port and plug in a car heater perhaps? Sounds a bit too simple. Apologies to all if I shouldn't be asking here, particularly as there is no chance of my car ever fitting into the garage!

And today the Biometrics won't work! At least they emailed to let users know!

I can live without electric seats but the lack of an adjustable lumber support in my Premium 'Sport' Pack is a massive oversight imho.

I used to get the golf clubs in my NX with no problem but they wouldn't fit my UX - if I still played. I drop the 1/3 rear seat to fit in two long gun boxes (1250mm). The good thing is that not only can they not be seen due to the privacy glass. Noise doesn't increase either!

The more I read the more I think - pay someone! Let them do the work and you can sit back and enjoy your cobbles!

Could you enquire through something like 'Nextdoor' if anyone has a suitable Garage or workshop that you could rent for a day or two? There are many car enthusiasts about who may love to share their experiences etc.

I temporarily had a new Chr with the same infotainment system as the new UX so I'm assuming yours is like that. Big, wide touchscreen etc. That worked perfectly and the voice command system was spot on. I'm going to ask them to check my aerial at the next service but I do wonder if these fins are up to the job. Since fitting a Bluetooth dongle I tend to use Android Auto and BBC sounds. This keeps the signal, the Google voice works well and the Navigation seems smoother than the built-in version. As long as the phone's not in your pocket that is as there's very little 5g where I drive and Levis appear to be excellent signal blockers!

Careful! She may put a bed in it too!

Good to hear you sounding a little more positive. With regards to the radio, mine is dodgy too, looses signal fairly regularly. It depends on your channel choice I fear!

Is there a voice command to end a navigation? I couldn't find one after accidentally starting a route and then failing to turn the darn thing off!

Gorgeous! My NX was blessed with the 'knob', the forerunner of the pad. Worked a treat.

I don't get the 'retro' to be honest but it is so much nicer than my previous (NX) that was gorgeous from the front but jelly-mould ugly at the back, still loved her though!

I realise that your vehicle is a newer (and higher spec) car than mine Don but have they altered the switching this year? I'm sure that My Lane Keeping can be turned off completely and always is. When I collected the car from the dealer I drove home via the M69 and it seemed like the car had been drinking! Quite severe reactions by the lane centering software. Having arrived home I turned it off and it stayed off until recently when I tried it again after I reduced the sensitivity. When on the lowest setting it appears to have virtually no action except for the distracting graphic on the dash. Could you just reduce the sensitivity and put-up with it that way, or have they taken that option away too?

Personally I think that in a world of ugly back-ends, since the SUV craze took off, the UX has one of, or even the prettiest, back-end of all cars on the road.

Absolutely beautiful. I'm not green with envy, well, just a little tinge around the edges maybe.

My local dealer has fitted standard Nexens and mine is now a different car. Quieter, smoother and more like a 'luxury vehicle'.

I use Meguiars Black plastic restorer on all black plastic and am extremely happy with the results. Even the external black plastic parts are still looking like new. Top tip... Wipe it on and leave it moist to dry naturally. Don't over polish it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Meguiars-G15812EU-Ultimate-Plastic-Restorer/dp/B0044090GC/ref=asc_df_B0044090GC/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310513207083&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=8249775854405595223&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046180&hvtargid=pla-451446778028&psc=1&th=1&psc=1

Analogue to digital Speedo was the first thing I changed when I got my UX. Much easier to read imho. We have a 21 plate Yaris. No engine vibration at all and apart from not riding the bumps as well as the UX it's a lovely comfortable little car.
