  • LEXUS LS 430 Automatic (Limousine) 123,000 km; year 2001 buy?

    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

  • Hybrid “Shifting”

    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

  • Jaguar wins reliability and quality report

    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

  • Luggage compartment GS450

    The trunk of the not hybrid GS is quite modest, but that it is almost twice as small in the GS450, I would never have expected. Hybrid is already a fine thing…but the trunk is as small as in a convertible… harm actually…. MfG, Barmaley

  • Lexus Logic / Examples from Hong Kong

    Hello to the round, as already briefly described, I was once again on the road in Hong Kong these days. I was almost overwhelmed by the crowds of Lexus vehicles. All current models are there in incredible quantities on the streets. Especially the LS 600 h in the long version is there; next to the RX 400 h; at almost every corner. Also over there the fashion color is “white” especially with the Lexus models of the racers. Mercedes tries by the way very aggressively in various regional TV spots, the current S-Class to the customer to bring. In fact, however, the S-Class plays a rather subordinate role in the banking district of Hong Kong. And that in the city with the largest Rolls Royce density! Absolutely in the trend there are also various vans of Toyota and Nissan, which are all not available with us. These vans are of the size quite comparable with a VW T5, however, they have really high quality leather equipment, electric sliding doors, etc. However, it is annoying to me that it is not possible with the there Lexus vehicles to understand some kind of equipment or some good examples.

  • Survey: How satisfied were you with your Lexus in 2013?

  • Lexus experience tips Audi or Lexus

    I have an Audi A4 2.5TDI and so soon a new car should come here… By chance I have come to Lexus Either the IS or the GS now ask my questions: How are these vehicles in general? Processing… Are there often problems with the vehicles? Certain Lexus diseases? (For the A4 e.g. crossbars) Are spare parts expensive or are there also cheap on the Internet (e.g. Audi parts without end and cheap) How much km can one drive with such a Lexus in the rule? By that I mean: My A4 has already 285,000km and it packs loosely some more! What must one pay attention to when buying special at lexus? thank you in advance Momek_ke

  • DSF engine: Audi A8L W12 vs. Lexus LS 600hL

    the motto was W12 vs. V8 Hybrid. the final appearance is the personal taste. however, the lexus was able to fully convince the comfort-loved beletage. however, the most interesting was the consumption chapter. and here the hybrid could play out its full strength. the audio consumed expected 19 liters super plus, the lexus on the other hand 8 liters less, in the sum only 11 liters super. mfg

  • Wind noise CT 200, fuel consumption at 140 km/h

    There are a few CT 200h drivers who can help me: Currently I am looking for a new vehicle, it should be slightly higher quality but not protty and above all technologically advanced. Currently there is a short choice: Audi A5 Sportback, fuel consumption 5.7 liters petrol Lexus CT 200h The advantage of the Audi: looks chic, the engine is completely new and safe to drive at approx.140 km/h sparingly, the wind noises are after a test in the AMS at 66 db at 130 km/h. Disadvantage: approx. 10000 euros more expensive. The advantage of the Lexus: Somehow technologically further, especially in the city, much that Audi has to pay extra for is already included in the standard equipment. Disadvantage: consumption on the motorway? In the test of AB, the internal noise is indicated at 73dB at 130 km/h. If someone has further information, dear CT200h driving gives an honest feedback (the local Lexus dealer has no CT. Thank you very much
