Hi guys, I’m a driver of German middle class vehicles so far. Currently I’m driving a BMW F36 but maybe my next one will be a Lexus. I was thinking about an IS300h (the new one), but I find something strange. Currently it’s a 2.0L diesel with 190hp/400NM and I have two types of driving, cozy so Landstraße + 130-150 DAB, then I am so at 4.7-5.0 liters and second fun (everything goes) then it is so at 7.5-7.8 liters. Weight comparable, approx. 1.7 To The consumption can be compared badly but if you take into account the more expensive taxes then there won’t be much. (driving < 15000 / year). I think that fits, do you see it exactly like that? But what totally confuses me with the Lexus is the specification of the performance values. The BMW needs 7.3 sec 0-100 and the top is 231 km/h (both verified several times). The Lexus has 33 hp more but 8.3s on 100 and top 200 km/h. (with comparable weight). Now to my question, it is true. What is it that the car is so much slower with much more power? Or is that only indicated for the pure petrol drive and the electric motor comes in if charged? (It is important to me that if I want the power then everything is already available....). Important: This is not a rating, I just have no idea of the hybrids Many greetings Markus

Hello people, the Lexus is supposed to be very reliable. Only Lexus is not so particularly seen on the road, of the frequency. A car costs maybe 250 million euros in development. There must be divided the number of vehicles. Whether there are 1000 vehicles or 400’000. The car with 1000 quantity must be expensive. I wonder all the time if I can afford a car with small quantity? How can I get a feeling for the cost. I would like the IS 350 with about 300 hp or r the ISF with 430 hp. Or the Infinity M37 with 320 hp, 6 cylinder. The IS is very interesting because it looks better like the Infinity and because there is the IS in a good PS staggering. As a reason car, after the fun car, I would buy myself a Mazda 3 or 6 with Skyaktiv engine, a Nissan Note with 3 cylinder, a Ford Mondeo, a Ford Fussion, a Volvo S60 :-)), a Avensis etc I had a similar topic with the Exotes and there was the fear of the few workshops genomme me n.

Since I drove a GS 300, the vehicles from Lexus fascinate me. At the moment especially the RX. Now I have a question: What about the spare parts supply? With my parts dealer and the relevant addresses on the Internet there are very few or no parts for Lexus. In order to make a GS 300 small inspection and renew wear parts I would have to order from 3 dealers and then not have everything. So I have to return to original parts. Are there any Toyota dealers or do I have to do it and possibly for a large inspection for Lexus representation? (don’t know where there is one here in the Rhine Main area, Darmstadt is still being built..) How do you do that? Are you going to the contract workshop/office or also to the free workshop/house management? If so, where do you order parts? Am something spoiled at the moment by my Mercedes, for which there is every part at every corner and at any time of the day and night? In the Lexus I pay twice as much. What’s this about? (wrong source?, lower quantity?) The question arises to me because I like to screw myself and that for me belongs to the vehicle somehow… Besides, I’m extremely stingy. That’s why only a used person is in question for me! No, but the entertainment is of course also a cost factor… So that we don’t get the wrong idea: I don’t want a comparison between Both are good cars, here I’m only talking about the supply and price level of the spare parts, as well as your behavior in relation to the Free Workshop/contract workshop. Thank you for your answers!

Good morning. I was offered a GS450H from 2008 on the weekend. Since I am not familiar with these models because I have always ridden VAG so far, I would now like to ask questions on what I have to pay special attention to. The vehicle ran 208 tkm and the batteries were changed 2 years ago. TÜV just got it fresh. Gear oil was changed 8000 km ago. Would be happy if I could give you a little advice. Greeting Jens

I’m thinking of buying a Lexus GS450h, or a GS in general. The 450h didn’t really prevail in Europe, there are hardly any. Are there owners who can share their experiences? I’ve already had Lexus and always when I’m in Dubai I’m mainly sitting in Lexus ES300h, because that’s the Uber Comfort model there and it’s just a pleasant car, in almost every respect. Quiet, good seats, good city consumption, everything that makes a Lexus so special. Ic h had an IS300h myself, but I never drove the drive of the 450h myself. How can the difference be described? I would expect a very quiet car at the GS450h, can I confirm this from practice?
