• Lexus CT 200h - Company car 21 Aug 2015 (Forum)
  Hi all, my first post so hopefully in the right place!   I currently drive the Lexus Hybrid but am due a new company car early next year. We get an"allowance" of £375 per month to spend on a car. We can chose any car as long as not a convertable and needs to be 4 door.   My question is more around the amount we are allowed to spend.

• Which will last longer? 6 Mar 2007 (Forum)
  I just want to say a very big and genuine thankyou to Gromit {P}, Mad Maxy and stunorthants 26 for taking the time and trouble to reply to my email. I have learnt a lot from your replies. I personally found the quality of the Lexus IS 250 and 220D sport outstanding. The Audi A4 2.0 litre diesel is also a lovely car.The cabin quality is darned good with Audi.I think it is a very good looking car. I noticed the servicing price is far less with the Audi than it is with Merc. or Lexus.
• Lexus IS200 Gripes? 16 Mar 2001 (Forum)
  Does anyone else have either of these minor but very irritating problems with their Lexus IS200? Mine's a March '00 SE model. 1) Severe internal misting of all windows, which can last for hours, then disappears for weeks, then suddenly re-appears. The only way to keep the windows clear is to keep the A/C on all the time.
• Toyota. - Are Toyotas more expensive to insure ? 19 Aug 2024 (Forum)
  High price is due to the known theft risk - some insurance companies wont even cover certain Toyota / Lexus products due to the CAN invader theft issue. I didn't know that. I think I kew that Lexus might be more premium and a bit nickable  and hence dearer to insure but didn't realise Tyotas were seen as vulnerable.

• Lexus IS200 - National Tyres mess up simple oil change 11 Apr 2012 (Forum)
  I saw this well known company advertising an oil change, using Castrol Edge 5w 30 fully synthetic for my Lexus at £38 including filter. I couldnt buy the oil and filter at that price so yesterday had them do it after thinking about if for a few weeks. I woke up this morning to a quite major oil discharge over my new block paved driveway, something just told me this would go wrong.

• Lexus or Subaru? 24 Apr 2007 (Forum)
  My priorities are reliability and minimising depreciation, budget £8k (ish). On my recommendation, a friend bought a MY03 2.0 Lexus Sport Cross which she thinks is fantastic. I am equally impressed with the build quality, but less so with the rear end styling and practicality. Over 10 years I have owned 3 Legacy estates..my last R reg GLS bought from a friend for £3500 and sold 4 years later (with difficulty) for £1900.
