RXtoNX

I hope you don’t get a nasty shock at renewal time 🙏. With some insurance companies the protected ncb is not all it seems. Doesn’t stop them deciding you have become a much higher risk due to a claim and hence loading the gross premium before ncb deduction. As others have said, may have been worth costing up the repairs before claiming

I think most of that time is related to the app finally catching up with events. Strange that the location changed after downloading the latest version released 2 days ago. TBH I don’t particularly want it before 1st Aug hence why I’m not chasing.

Lexus app showing that our 450h F Sport (ordered 31st Jan is now at Derby 👍 Aug 1st pick up now looking even more likely🤞

A few comments 1. I don’t know why you expected it not to move when pushed a little 2. F Sport also get the AVS which is not just for bendy roads. It also works well when selected on uneven roads by taking some “jiggling” away for a better ride 3. Once the transmission starts to growl ease off just a little. The growl reduces considerably without noticeably affecting the rate of acceleration. Journalists so far haven’t figures this out in their haste to try and knock the transmission 4. With the 360 deg cameras you can if needed select a zoom in of each corner of the car, handy when you need to park closely to a high kerb 5. The car is bigger but I’m ok with it. However my wife is the main driver and she finds it a little on the large size hence why we are changing to the latest NX model 6. Don’t plant the throttle for a swift take off, a gently push with progressive action afterwards will take that jump away The RX is very rewarding once you get used to how to master the different driving characteristics from a regular non hybrid auto, something that motoring journalists have never managed to appreciate or do!

Before the RX I had a RR Sport. My opinion on the 2 is that I’d take the RX every day. TBH don’t get why you think the RX is a slouch, it sounds more like you are trying hard to justify not changing but only you can make the decision.

So, to add balance,I hate it. I turned it off after 2 weeks hence it has been turned off for the past 4.5 years😉 Just my opinion, don’t shoot me!

I disagree, the F Sport with AVS is much more capable on the bendy country roads that I ever imagined. Bearing in mind that my other car is a Lotus Evora, whilst clearly much more ideally suited to such driving, the RX certainly does not disappoint for this type of vehicle.

We ordered 10 days after you so this is making me feel optimistic that we may be able to collect 1st Aug as indicated by our dealer Monday last week.

Yes, GAP insurance tops up the normal insurance payout to enable you to buy a new car of similar make, model & spec if you have replacement vehicle GAP insurance. Alternatively, if you select the cheaper “back to invoice” option the GAP payout is the difference between the insurance co payout and what the original purchase price was of the car, inclusive of any extras

From memory she notified the GAP insurer, at the same time as her insurance company, who advised her as to the process & paperwork required to be able to make a claim on the GAP insurance. To claim on GAP insurance you need to have your insurer to declare the vehicle a total write off so she was advised to wait for the loss adjuster to provide a market value, which would be no where near the market value, and then reject it advising them that your GAP insurer will be taking over the claim handling on her behalf. It all ran smoothly from there with everything sorted iirc within 2-3 weeks of receiving the first offer.

I don’t think my daughter would agree with you after her 3 year old car was written off by someone who decided that a give way sign didn’t apply to them. Due to GAP insurance she was able to get a NEW replacement car without having to go through the hassle of trying to get an insurance company to offer a market price just to put her back in to the same position as at the time of the write off, i.e. a replacement car of similar spec, age etc.

I don’t think the RX will disappoint you, I find it takes off pretty well in sport+ mode & considering my other car is a Lotus Evora (same basic engine but supercharged) I an happy with the pace of the RX. Just test drive one then you’ll know if it suits your requirements or not.

I told my dealer that I would arrange GAP insurance myself through ALA as I always do. As part of the final negotiations re discounts etc they asked to see the quote I was getting and then agreed to match it cost wise, which was a substantial discount on what they originally quoted, but with better terms including full vehicle replacement cover for 4 years rather than return to invoice

Hopefully will be on the vessel due to dock later this evening

Totally agree 👍. My biggest disappointment with the 450h is that there is no panoramic roof option

Absolutely love it. Never looks grubby and, in my opinion, lifts the cabin ambiance. I’ve ordered the red interior again on my soon to be delivered NX F Sport. I will admit though to being a hater of black interiors

Dealer told me last week he was hoping to receive it before the end July for delivery 1st week of Aug so looks as though he was pretty much spot on. Anybody you can ask?

Went into build stage 24th May, build complete 4th June and left the factory 6th June. F Sport Premium pack with sunroof in sonic titanium with red interior. IIRC you was only a day or 2 behind me.

Now that was a surprise 😊 Message just received via the Lexus app “Good news, your NX is now in transit to the Lexus centre.” - Presumably Derby

Mine was ordered 31st Jan & dealer telling me the same, expected with them 1st week of Aug so at least a level of consistency. Hoping mine arrives in U.K. before 24th July though since that date is cutting it fine for a Aug week 1 delivery to dealers. Also no OS-K agent vessels showing as due at Portbury between 21st July & 29th July. Look on here for agent OS-K, route Livorno-Zeebruge (arriving from, departing to)

Currently scheduled for 29th July 👍

Galveston Highway & Lydden now currently both due at Portbury on 8th July @22.00 & 22.30 respectively. 🙏🤞

Depends on speed I guess but I regularly manage 2 miles in 30mph zones

My average mph over 33k miles of mixed driving is 35.7mpg. Around 37mpg during the summer and 33-34 winter time with an absolute best of 43.5mpg (all as per Fuelly logs) As mentioned above plenty have shared their data. Unfortunately only you can make the decision.

That’s what BG fitted for me under the foc Lexus offer after deciding that the normally supplied Alfen one shouldn’t be fitted at our address since we have almost zero mobile phone signal. The Easee charger connects to Hive via the Internet, just waiting for my car now to try it out!
