Pauly C

Without wishing to pop down some kind of rabbit hole here... I would respectfully suggest the 'group of people' you mention Colin was, effectively, made up by Paul (Old Man 2)...so, if Paul chooses to make up a theoretical group of 'oiks' that emanate from somewhere within the Midlands area, who are we to judge against that? He's expressing his opinion, so why not let him do so? 🤔🙂

"Current tyres coming up towards 10 years of age" Eh? 10 year old tyres on your car? Or have I missed something here?😉 Personally, I'd stick to 'standard' every time😉

As others have alluded to...what's with this thing about making current/future motoring much more complicated that it needs to be? It's ridiculous, reading through all these little tips /hints/tricks people have kindly provided, just to try and ensure we can all drive our cars without thinking too hard, or worrying about it. It shouldn't be like this....manufacturers take note....people just want to get in their cars and drive...so sort it out🤔

Not heard of the Alpha OBD device before, but like the sound of it. Will drop my dealer a line. Have the tracker already fitted. Thanks for sharing Robert👍

Was it ever disclosed which original Lexus main dealer we’re talking about here?

Do we have a thread somewhere on here, where owners can post pics of their current rides? If not, post them here....I'll pop back with shots of the sonic blue UX once the weather down here starts to behave....😉

Parking slot looks totally inadequate - have you parked it in the right place?😆

There MUST be cheaper options somewhere online? I read somewhere on this forum that you're looking upwards of £500 for a grille badge. Ridiculous in my honest opinion🤔

They grow dirt up there don’t they?😉

Not totally convinced, by looking at the 300h figures, it will make that much difference at all tbh🤔 No, I’m happy with the 250….and love playing the numbers game….currently at 55.6 mpg overall👍

Cheers Colin. Yes, not a fast car, but I knew that beforehand. It keeps up with the traffic OK but, as I say, can die a little going up long sweeping hills. I didn’t buy it for the performance admittedly….as no one really goes anywhere that fast in my county😉 For driving around down here it’s perfect - fantastic economy, very rare, looks good, comfortable and completely satisfying on the badge snobbery front😍 Time will tell on the reliability front, - now it’s fixed and running properly - and after the bad start to Lexus ownership I’ve had🤔 No, I will leave as is

🤣🤣🤣🤣my LBX courtesy car warned me twice about that on the way home with it….once for having my eyes closed, and once for for looking the other way🙄

Are there any recommended tuning packages out there for a UX 250h? Or do I not play around with my UX in this respect? Do I need to worry about what such a tuning package will lead to, if the car can't cope long term from such tweaks? What are your thoughts? It's just that I sometimes wish it goes up hills a bit better, and has a little more torque when I need it....

The best of luck with all that my friend. By the looks of it, the newer the car - the more bings/bongs/warning chimes you'll get. As I've said elsewhere, my car is 4 years old, and I don't have to put up with anywhere near the amount of bings/bongs/warning chimes I got in my 2024 LBX courtesy car. It somehow makes me laugh that plod can prosecute drivers for being on their mobile phones whilst driving, whilst car manufacturers can drive drivers to total distraction with infinite warning signals from a cars operating system without fear of any comeback...beginning to beggar belief🤔

Notwithstanding the above, I am (very) reliably informed a driver does not need to go out for a thrash up and down the motorway to charge up a half dead battery…..having the engine idling (if you can get it started) will charge up a battery just as quick, and will use less fuel😉
