  1. Any new (ish) car should be able to sit for 2 weeks+ with no issues. Cars at dealers could sit for a while and probably don't get a decent run. It is very poor service to show a car with a flat battery but if they fit a new battery it shouldn't put you off (assuming the price is right). I have left mine for over 3 weeks and all was fine. Good luck 😃
  2. I don't think so. Great idea though 😃
  3. Lovely car and great photo too 😃
  4. I actually think that the Lexus dealers should do more to educate "new Lexus drivers". The hybrid cars are quite different to "normal cars".
  5. I was the same. Even with "normal cars" it has been a very long time since I had a flat battery. I am trying not to worry and have not bought anything as yet.😅 As said, it is even more annoying when the car has a huge charged battery.
  6. I have left my NX for over 3 weeks (maybe 3 weeks and 3 days) and it has been OK.
  7. Absolutely rubbish 🤬🤬 Good luck with repairs.
  8. Good point about energy monitor. It will surely show either front wheel drive or AWD.
  9. The base models are often front wheel drive only. Not sure if your V5 document will tell you. Worth a look. I was going to suggest looking under the rear of the car but not sure how easy it is to tell.
  10. Welcome 😃 I am first time Lexus and hybrid too. I went into Lexus to order a black NX but saw the Sonic Titanium in the showroom and changed my mind. Lovely colour and much easier to keep clean than black.
  11. Welcome 😃 Not sure what can be muted on the RZ.
  12. I have used a couple of dealers for tyres (not Lexus). Just ask them for a price for your chosen tyre. Some will do a price match too which is good.
  13. Best option would be to connect an optimate battery charger. If this is not possible not sure if a similar solar powered charger would work. Good luck 😃
  14. Probably a good idea to replace them after 10 years. I'm not sure if the detectors might deteriorate but they will get covered in dust etc.. I better check mine 😅
  15. I would make sure everything is clean with no obstructions. As said, I would try some lubricant too. If that doesn't work hopefully Lexus will sort it. Good luck 😃
  16. Welcome 😃 Delivery might come forward a bit. I had to wait for a year 🙄 so at least not as bad as that.
  17. It is probably the "high tech" car thieves that are to blame rather than the manufacturers. Hopefully the £600 prevents the cars from getting stolen.
  18. Welcome back 😃 I'm quite new to Lexus but also had a Saab convertible which was a great car.
  19. I would like to think that any new (ish) car is able to be left for 2 weeks without being driven. Airport car parks are full of various cars. The majority must be fine after 2 weeks standing.
  20. I have left mine for three and a half weeks and it was fine. Started with no problems. I regularly leave it for over a week with no problems. (we have 2 cars)
  21. Hopefully it has not spoiled your new car too much. Very annoying all the same ☹️
  22. Some of the older cars were definitely built to last 😃 Not sure about the new cars...
