Thanks for your reply, yeah the opinion is definitely in favor of the 152 model, which if I'm honest I was hoping for. The extra €10k doesn't look like it's buying much beyond a younger number plate. As for the F sport suspension being harder than the regular suspension, I'm not put off. My previous car was a BMW 420d M Sport on 19" wheels and I didn't mind it at all (although the Mrs did 😂).

Hi Paul Thanks for the advice. The 2015 certain represents much better value and has the spec I want. Good to know that there isn't much difference in the drive between the two

The 2015 actually qualifies for a 2 years warranty as it's 7 years old (any older and Lexus Ireland reduces this to 1 year) so there is peace of mind there. I just was wondering if I would be missing out by not going for the facelifted model?

Hi Guys I am currently torn between two is300h f sport models with quite a significant price difference between them. Both cars are from the same lexus dealer and have nearly identical mileage. I was wondering if it is worth spending the extra €10k on the younger facelifted model. It's the difference between owning the car outright vs having a small loan. Each car has its own merits on paper, 2015 - better colour combo (black, red leather - I personally love it) mark levenson sound system, alot less expensive. 2018 - longer warranty with Lexus relax, improved external styling (although pre face lift still great), better steering + suspension (according to Lexus/reviews), upgraded nav. Any advice(especially from anyone who has owned/driven both variants) would be very much appreciated. Thanks Guys!
