Screen is fixed. Nothing moving so one less thing that can break.

Only 3 months?

Sweden is colder than many other countries. Both Saab and Volvo used to have seat heaters that could boil you and needed to be turned off pretty fast. Do not know if the seat heaters in the CT function. Never tried them. Lived in Norway long time ago before cars had seat heaters. No such thing as bad weather; something as not dressing properly for different climate/temperature.

Now price for raw oil has dropped. Funny: When raw oil gets more expensive price for gasoline climbs with at least same. When raw oil price gets cheaper, gasoline price - no - no - no. Does not get cheaper.

Brave and not lazy like eeehhh. Drive to local drive through wash and it is almost clean and shiny. Paint still looks fine. Has never been polished. Just lazy guy wash.

Our Golf had oil changed in the DSG at 100.000 and we departed from it at 200.000 and the DSG never had a problem.

Have so far not cleaned the steering wheel, grip is excellent. Do not use it with dirty hands. Do not use hand creme or anything like that. Think Lexus made a fine job and see no reason to put an extra layer on it as some maybe do.

Winter tyres for winter: +++++ All season for: Many places where temperature often change between summer and not going down to real winter. Many places. Summer tyres for where we live. Temperature never (while we have been living here) get below 15 degrees Celsius as long as we stay below 1000 m above sea level. 2000 m up there has been a couple of millimetres snow a couple of times, and never lasting more than a few days, while we have been living here. 16 years.

Did not enlighten me.

Many things happens once a year.

Michelin restaurants are usually close to being worth the astronomic amount it cost to eat there. All season tyres are a compromise between summer and winter and very popular. Maybe because you are allowed to drive on them all year and changing tyres every time temperature goes a lot up or down is not really funny.

The hybrid car makers are somewhat overoptimistic when informing/stating consume. The battery is an extra load that cost fuel to move as well as all other weighty items. The battery of the hybrids that are possible to recharge electrically and have long range on electric power will have even heavier batteries and if used on longer tours will be even less economical than the old Prius style hybrids. Cannot speak about big size engine hybrid systems, but the CT is consuming in the low end of fuel compared to other cars with same weight, comfort and equipment. Fuel producing companies have been misinforming and lobbying so efficiently that making less-polluting cars is so much in the start-up phase that many mistakes are being made on the way to reducing pollution. Cars with big batteries is one of the worst. Only people with own houses and solar cells making the power will be able to have real use of these and in the world, the material for the batteries as they are being made now will not be enough to make these big batteries for all cars so it does not really matter that the electricity supply net is not nearly powerful enough to charge all the batteries and probably never will be. So, all living in flats can not have cars if/when only electric cars are permitted. Price of electricity is at the highest ever and no end of the rising price is in sight. Nobody cares about the poor losers/suckers/us. The fuel industry lobbyists have done their job. Made money. Fuel industry lobbyists were the largest group in the latest forum to “save” the planet. We are now so close to destroying the planet we live on that even atomic generated electric power may be accepted; the waste can either destroy life on the planet or the waste can be exported to other planets. Up to our children to decide. Our generation has been an utter failure.

If such a thing does function it would reduce the value of a complete cat. What is it?

+ + + + + Garmin is probably the best. Lifetime update for several models (we have one that is 7 years old and 10 times better than the built-in Lexus OEM 2021 map we had installed a year or so ago.

Do not forget: Lower electricity price. Here we paid as much for the 2 first months in 2021 as we did for the whole year 2018.

Finally a way to keep an engine sounding like an engine. Some of us veterans liked the sound of the engine.

Too bad that the lamps are still like new. Not good for car makers that there is one less reason to buy a new car. 🤑

New headlamps from quality cars last 10 or more years. The Golf had shiny lights about 10 years. Then they got dim and I had them polished. Lasted a couple of years; very shiny the first couple of months and then they got more and more yellowish. The lamps in the CT are 5 years now and still shining like new, so hope they last longer than in the Golf. Sanding will take the original top coating away and all the lamps I have seen polished shining and looking like new have never lasted very long. The best material to make lamps from is still glass, but for reasons not known to me, no new cars have such good and lasting lamps. Last car we had glass headlamps in was the Smart Roadster Coupé:

Wife is making coffee now. I can smell it. Now you can moan if you cannot.

If a car does not have the snow mode, could it be that the ECO mode will do more or less the same?

This light should light up when starting the car if you have the lamp leveling system installed. Washing system for headlamps shall also be installed. Both things can be installed. It may cost. Will be accepted ? ? ? ? ? ?

Hard to say. Have asked for a loan car twice. Lexus here never had any.

Does not look illegal to me.

You have never been in Turkey? 7 lane bridge. Morning 5 lanes one way. Evening 5 lanes the other way. First in with wheel in lane has the right to the lane.

Not quite right. I have had new lenses operated in about 20 years ago and now see perfect long distance and can still read without glasses. Getting approval from doctors every 5 years in order to renew driver's license.
