Driving this afternoon with the radio on, all of a sudden two massive loud bangs. My first thought was something had hit the screen, but then followed white noise from the stereo which was unbearable. Phoned Lexus who gave me the probable diagnosis of it being the amplifier which in their words ‘isn’t a cheap repair’ He said previous customers have refused to have the repair done such was the cost. He wouldn’t give me an exact price as they haven’t seen/heard the issue yet (that’s booked in for Tuesday). Googling the problems I’ve seen the cost of replacement as being astronomical, anyone else had the same issues, or know of a cheaper alternative fix. Thanks in advance.

Had my F sport now lost three weeks, like yourself loving it. Still finding out new things about the car, love the massive spec of the car which is miles above what I previously had. Currently only got an average of 41mpg, due to the fact of using the sport mode a lot. The Mark Levinson premium audio is outstanding, never had a sound system that comes close to it. Just got the windows tinted as it felt like a fish bowl to be honest, and think it’s made the overall look much better. The slight negatives I have are the cup holders when a passenger and your elbow falling in them, and getting used to the indicator stalk.

Collected a 63 plate is300h F Sport yesterday. Took awhile to find what we were after, and a few problems with salesmen which made the search longer than we bargained for, but extremely happy after finally going to collect it. Now the task of fathoming out how everything works. 😀

New to the board and I’m looking for some advice regarding the IS300h. I have a RX300, 2004, which I bought off my dad when he himself got an IS300h two and a half years ago. I’ve just got rid of the RX300, solely down to the fact of the fuel economy and have been looking at IS300’s. My trouble is trying to fathom out the spec on the different models, am I correct in thinking Premier are the better between them and the Executive/Advance models? Currently thinking about a Premier or the F sport model, but it seems F sports only come in half leather/half cloth trim. Looking at a max spend of £16500. ‘Any advice appreciated thanks.
