Hello dear forum community! Looking for a new leasing vehicle I am looking for problems with Mercedes with a 400 Benz again at the very beginning, so I thought hey why always the German square deers who stand at every corner? Such a Lexus LS looks good. Do not need to play games and does not want to be in the internet but on the road. 6 cylinders, leather, wood, quality, service. These are the criteria. My son would add yellow but better not 🙂 Lei I have absolutely no idea about Lexus, the next dealer is over 70km away. Before I dig the idea I thought I’d ask you about your experience with leasing at Lexus here in the Lexus Forum. Are the terms better or comparable to BMW, MB etc. New cars or leasing discounts? How is the service support since you satisfied? Ask me what I do with problems when the dealer is so far away, or can any Toyota dealer do the same? What are the differences between u the nevertheless very uniform German competition ? What is there to consider with equipment / packages? Thank you for your experiences and opinions! Greetings, a nice weekend!

After the BMW Grand Tourer 218d I wanted to have a hybrid! Plug in Hybrid needs too long charging times for 50 km of electric motor. The Lexus UX 250h Hybrid drives without socket stays endlessly on battery power. Example: Mountain road, winding roads 210 km = 3.8l/100km The petrol engine is only required if you want to overtake or travel faster. Tempomat, lane stop assistant, traffic sign detection, distance to the vehicle ahead. Autonomous driving is possible Air conditioning system for warm and cold days in order. Anti-theft protection. Dead-angle assistant in outdoor mirrors. The acceleration of the two engines is amazing. “The UX pulls off like Schmidts cat!” Locked off at 177 km/h. = 5.4l/100 km. City traffic in pure battery mode – without km limitation. Road position excellent. Inside very good workmanship. All in all: an extraordinary cross-over truck. With many sophistications, the m This car is really fun for me! My wife was only skeptical – now she loves the car!

Hello together I had written here some time ago that I was thinking about getting a LEXUS ES, as the successor of my Mercedes C400. These considerations have been completed. I will probably get less to read in the forum in the future, because the community is much smaller. Means: I ordered. Delivery should be at the end of the year or at the beginning of 2023. I am looking forward to the car, because I like design, interior and materials very much. The size would not necessarily have to be a few centimetres less would be enough for me too; but what’s the point? I would like to thank everyone who helped me with the decision. Especially Peter from the Netherlands, who reported with his test report and his positive statements from the everyday life of an ES driver. Now it is time to wait and exercise in patience. I have already planned the operating instructions. Let’s see if I have them through until delivery. Dick enough is it. That’s how it would be for today. Vie Greetings and nice weekend

Hey dear Lexus pros! I am currently buying a new car and I am interested (beside the Jaguar XE) in the Lexus IS300. It is planned that I buy a 2018/2019er with less than 30,000km. When I just got my driver’s license the first Lexus IS has been introduced and since then I always wanted to have a Lexus. Professionally it turned out that I have always got a nice Audi for the last 12 years, which of course I don’t want to have a Lexus. How are your long-term experiences with the car? Are there people who have driven 200,000 and more and can tell me how reliable this car is? Currently I drive about 50,000-70,000km per year and want a comfortable and reliable car for the next 3 years. How good is the automatic and even more important, how good is the adaptive cruise control?

Dear Lexus community, there is still an E-Class 350 gasoline engine from 2009 with 292 hp. Unfortunately, the car is increasingly unreliable and the defects are now so expensive that I want to sell it. Just 4 months ago I invested 3000 euros and now the next defect, which costs the same again… I had now thought of a Lexus, because I got used to the performance and the driving feeling of the Benz and would like to have something nice but less annoying. inde the models GS and RX are beautiful, which are so 10 years old. As 350 or 450h there are the so around the 10,000 Euro, but then not always usually 2 previous owners and 120,000 to 170,000 km on the clock. Now my question: Are there typical weak points with the models, which can become particularly expensive? For example, is the air suspension at some point or – as with my Mercedes – there are problems with the direct injection? Do I have to make sure that something (recalls, timing belts…) was made? Of course: Do you think that I can buy a car like this and drive it for a long time without suddenly becoming expensive? Should I use a model with such an age/running performance rather to the hybrid or 350er? Is any equipment or a certain gearbox not recommended or the absolute must? And which should I take? RX or GS? What do I want? In any case, a lot of comfort, also a lot of performance, and as little trouble as possible. r/many km bought and experiences made? Are there possibly even changers of Mercedes?

Good day. For 2 weeks I have called a Lexus UX250h my own. A very nice vehicle! I bought a set of new winter bikes with RDKS universal sensors (ital sensor IT-230) on the open market. When ordering I had to specify the exact vehicle type. In the manual of the UX it is described how to register a new wheel set at the car: start the registration engine and drive at least 10 minutes by car. I drove an hour but at the message “sensors are stored” änd The search on the net and here in the forum does not bring any new insights. Does anyone here have experience and a tip for me on how to get the new sensors registered without going to a Lexus/Toyota workshop? Thank you in advance.

Hello, I would like to enjoy a new vehicle for the first time in my life. On the short list the XC90, the Lexus RX450h and the Jaguar F-Pace have made it. I am still uncertain with the Volvo if it is the extra price for the PHEV value, otherwise B5. I am test-riding with all, no one is bad, in all I sit well and get well with the operation. Optically I like the (new) Jaguar best and would also be low in the advantage of the costs but Brexit? Jaguar? Ausl I had a relatively expensive, high consumption in spite of full hybrid but good car and above all first-class, kulante Werstatt and service. With Volvo I have had little work in the past, but there are three full references in the environment (XC60, XC90 and older XC70 CC). However, everyone has had bad experience with workshops and had to look until a satisfactory workshop was found. With the car itself they are very satisfied. It’s as if all three models would stand around the winner’s stack and everyone has already put one foot on the podium to climb the 1st place. I can’t decide. Has anyone here already distinguished themselves between the mentioned models and why chose or rejected what? LG Peter PS: I will post this topc in the other two subforen too, hoping to not violate any rule and not kick anyone on the tie.

Hello LEXUS experts, as a dayly-driver I would like to buy a petrol for my short distances, because my diesel is too bad for me. Since a Lexus should be long-lasting, I would like to keep it for a very long time. I found the above model in the iNET. Since it is about 900km away from my actual place of residence, it is therefore not even quick to visit. If the car was worth to be visited and bought, or is that possibly already in different places v The 4.3ltr – 8Cyl. machine I still trust for a while to the stability also in connection with the Auomatik transmission. rear drive, so no all-wheeler with a distribution gearbox, which can break. Who can tell me his subjective opinion? warm greetings SEL-Fan

Hello! I’ve been driving my new IS 300h for a few weeks now and I noticed a few things about the hybrid drive: The system changes enormously often the “energy management”, i.e. whether the power comes from the electric or petrol engine and whether the battery is charged or not. What I’m surprised is that it is partly adapted and changed in the second cycle depending on the driving situation. Mostly it prefers the electric motor. In addition, the system never allows the battery to fully withstand My question now: Is this frequent “switch” not bad for the hybrid battery and why does it never charge it to 100%? Thank you very much for your answers in advance! Greeting Max

Hi, in the current issue of the car newspaper is a quality report in it. Therefore Jaguar cuts off best, before Toyota and Lexus. The reliability and the product quality of 30000 readers was evaluated. I am very pleased for Jaguar, i like the brand somehow. So it seems that you have to rethink now, if you want a reliable car you can now also choose Jaguar instead of Toyota Greeting Markus
