  • New year, new car 9 Dec 2021 (Forum)
    Suppose there is the Corolla estate but that increases the price quite a bit and in the past I have found some estates quite boomy and tiresome. But there is another that cropped up in searches that has got me thinking, the Lexus UX base model (again). Can be had for £25350 OTR which is a bit over budget but looking at costs over 4 years it appears to do pretty well. The predicted residuals of the Lexus appear to beat the other 3 quite substantially which could theoretically mean its costs less to own despite costing a little more up front.
  • Can you recommend a comfortable, refined car with easy boot access for a dog? 1 Sep 2020 (Ask HJ)

  • Lexus GS300 - Victim of hit and run 1 Dec 2010 (Forum)
    Our Lexus (1998) was side swiped while it was parked on the road in front of our house about 2 weeks ago.  The driver didn't stop, but a neighbor who had been out walking her dog, witnessed it and got a partial registration.
  • Manchester to Bournemouth on Thursday 12 Apr 2013 (Forum)
     My fellow passenger is over 60 so he gets cheap tickets. Alternatively we can go in his new Lexus Hybrid RX.  Driving is about 4hours 30mins without stops, but we can leave earlier than the first sensible train.  The route I think is M6, M40, A34, M3, M27.   Any comments, suggestions, advice?

  • Peugeot 407 (2004 - ) - Price of 407 1.6hdi - is this cheap 1 Oct 2008 (Forum)
    Whats this model like to drive with the 1.6 engine? I do like the 407's - nice drive. Ok the build isnt Lexus but they are pretty cheap and do the job.
  • Green 4x4s 17 Jul 2006 (Forum)
    Just saw 'Pulling Power' and thought they were talking some rubbish! They seemed to come to the conclusion that a Lexus 4x4 was green. They said that the car generates power while you drive it, but doesn't give out any emissions. What they didn't mention is that it uses more power than it generates. I haven't seen the specs for this car, but I doubt that it can generate power without using any.
  • And the survey says.... 23 Mar 2006 (Forum)
    Auto Express had releases a few comments about their Driver Power 2006 survey (lots in the magazine I'm sure) www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/65609/driver_power_2006_the_results.html Just a few things that most of us already know (and some of us act on when selecting a car): 11 of the 12 most reliable cars are Japanese nine of the 11 models suffering from the most mechanical breakdowns are from French and Italian marques, most unreliable is the Peugeot 307. Lexus is best manufacturer but Honda has 3 out of the 4 most reliable models. Skoda has done well and Kia has a model in the top 10.

  • Weasel Warranties 24 Nov 2002 (Forum)
    My girlfriend purchased (following some discussion on this board) a Mercedes A-Class A170 T reg with 43k on the clock, from the Lexus dealer in Newcastle, as one of their "Approved Used Cars". She picked it up last Thursday, and on Friday lunchtime the power steering promptly failed (no it wasn't the fuse or the belt driving the PS pump) She had bought a 3 year warranty from the dealer (from "Warranty Holdings", who I now know much more about having done some googling!)
