Hello together, on MT I have been active for a long time, but so far in the Volvo area. Now I have changed to Lexus and want to revive the area here a little, seems to be necessary To the vehicle there is so much to say: the special equipment is manageable, it is the luxury variant, sunroof, manganese violet metallic. I bought the car used, it ran 44,000 km. It is directly at the Lexus dealer a Prins VSI gas system with flashlube (whether ́s helps or also n After 6 years of Volvo V 70, of which 3 years in the diesel, the smooth running of the 8-cylinder is impeccable, the passage is brilliant, the 6-stage automatic switches optimally. The seats – with heating and ventilation – are good, the leather softer and “more valuable” than the Volvo, but I have not yet found the optimal position. The Volvo seats (until 2005 ) were already good…. The gas system works perfectly, switching after warm run to gas unnoticlic h, power is fully available, I can’t say anything about the consumption. By the way, the gas builder said that during the obligatre full-gas test, that – on gas – is not sealed off at 250, maybe this only works on the fuel supply…. I will examine it more closely. It looks like this:

Hello together I need a new business car and I am still unsure what to buy. I drive about 30’000 km a year, mixed highway, overland, stop and go – pretty much divided to 1/3 each. I find the new coupe optically the hammer, the 350 CGI in a CLS tested – very pleasant, smooth running and has power. I also tested the Lexus, I also like super, very noble interier – maybe less sporty than the Merc, crazy motor – there can be the Me rc don’t keep up, chassis I found pleasant – the CLS was too shabby for me. Momentane Pro and Contras: Mercedes: ++ Superdesign (inside + outside) – by the way, I also sat in Geneva aum Salon + Motor also very good – possibly child diseases (new model) Lexus: + Beautiful design ++ Supermotor + probably the best long-term quality – small trunk Can anyone give me a tip? Thank you PS: I also set the thread in the Mercedes forum ;-))

Hello, because I just like the Lexus IS compared to the A4, the 3 Series and the C-Class, I plan a purchase of this car soon. Unfortunately I don’t get smart from the (but quite manageable) drives! I didn’t want to believe the data on Wikipedia at first, but it really seems like this: –> The bigger the engine, the slower the car?! the 200t has as 4cylinder 245hp it brings in 7 seconds to 100 and runs 230km/h peak. the 250 than 6 cylinder brings it only 208hp takes one second longer has 5km/h less topspeed and needs 2 liters more??? But the banger is the only 300h available in the program: with its 181hp petrol engine + 42 electric motor just on 8.4 sec and runs just 200km/h? When I look at the competitor from Bayer in the form of a 320i, with the same engine power (184hp) and WITHOUT electric motor, he manages the sprint in one second less and drives 30km/h top meh r… what’s wrong with Lexus, or do I just have a board in front of my head?

Here’s the TEST So if I had the money and wanted to get a car in this car class, it would clearly be the 600h. Hammer das ding. MFG Popey

After reporting several times about the worst of all Lexus workshops (Leipzig), we actually thought that with the desired return of our leasing RX400h, the nightmare would be over. Far from it, Lexus still seems to go a bit more: because of imaginatively thought-out flaws (the DEKRA reviewer told us proudly and fairly naively that this workshop is his most important and long-standing client…) one more rebuttal of more than 4,000EUR on the leasing payments. The best thing: also because of an allegedly unreported accident damage, which had allegedly been repaired even badly. And the rims are damaged! I have so far returned in my life 3 Volvo SUVs, an Audi A 6 and a Porsche 997 as a leasing car, in a comparable condition. What Volvo always said so nicely at handover: “We can hardly expect our customers to bring the car back in a new state of condition…” OK, Porsche is still something else, but just to the contrary: “Because of the scratch before we risk the whole set of the legal charges,” the Lexus customers will at least be able to tell us that the biggest customer about the rest of their business.”

Good evening, I have a few basic questions about the Lexus IS 250 times. There are the Luxury Line version and the Sport version. Both are separate packages. So I like the Luxury equipment quite well, it has some things that the Sport version does not have: among other things blue illuminated entry rails with the Lexus lettering, electric roller, center tunnel made of wood. I like that very well and in combination with light leather makes a great impression. The Sport version, however, has fine 18 inch wheels and aluminium pedals. That can be retrofitted to the luxury version for the sake of necessity. Or? But now the decisive thing: the translation in the Sport version is more splashy, in other words, you get ahead faster, isn’t it? Does this mean that this transmission translation really only exists for the Sport? I have already read many times that the Sport version is not so comfortable, i.e. quite hard – it scares off bits!

Jo moin together, I’m looking for a reliable car for my wife, who usually has few problems besides wear parts and is relatively humane in maintenance. I’m not an expert myself, but with Lexus or Toyota you’re definitely not wrong. What would you recommend? I’m open to all suggestions, from Toyota Aygo to Lexus is250 or Toyota gt86. Can also be another brand, the reliability and longevity are in the foreground.

Hello, I’m currently superior to buying a Lexus IS 250. Currently the market is quite expensive compared to 1 1/2 years ago, I’m concerned if you can currently spend 9000 euros for a 2008er with good care which is well maintained but at around 210,000tkm. The problem for me is that there are also other cars in the price region which are at 100,000 TKM like a Golf VI which is too boring for me. The Lexus of my uncle IS250 now has over 350,000 tkm on the hump, is such a thing to expect with good care with small to medium-sized repairs? would not like to make a financial grave just because I like the car so much. Just look for a good daily, drive about 13.000tkm a year and 80% of it highway/road.

Hello together, I write for the first time here in the LEXUS forum and hope that I am right here. I think about ordering the ES. Thank God my salesman is on vacation at the moment, so that I have won a little more thought time. I like the car visually and also the test drive convinced me of the comfort. What is certainly problematic are the dimensions. Underground parking does not seem suitable to me. Maybe one of his impressions of the car can describe . I realize that there will certainly be only a few ES drivers here, but maybe someone has got lost here and wants to report about his experience. My vehicle history since retirement can be taken from my profile. Greeting Bonnercls

Hello, I wanted to ask if you had comparable bad experiences with the processing of the interior and with your dealer? When wiping the dashboard with a damp microfibre cloth, white strips were formed that can no longer be removed. I was there with the dealer. There I was informed that similar has already occurred with at least 10 RX but can no longer be changed. I should only dust the dashboard as carefully as possible. r seller also immediately said that an exchange of the dashboard was too expensive. After that, however, I had not asked at all. Toyota customer service was waiting for a long time and then replied that such discoloration is supposedly unknown. However, a search request is enough at Google. I have now examined this by an expert.
