• Qashqai 2nd gen auto - Is self charging Hybrid better for me? 19 Mar 2024 (Forum)
  Considering my usages, do you recommend the 3rd gen mild hybrid Qashqai auto or still think a full hybrid is better say a Toyota. Thought of Lexus hybrid as well but also worried about the flat battery issue as well.
• Next car debate 1 Dec 2017 (Forum)

• Upgrading to an older model? Am I crazy!? 8 Aug 2016 (Forum)
  I'm wondering whether buying a 2005 model is still a reasonable investment. I'm aware that Lexus are reliable cars and really I'm after an upgrade on my 2008 ford fiesta. Is it madness to buy a car that is 3 years older than my current car?
• Infiniti Ex30d - Manufactrers Warranty 15 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  Hi all Just bought a 2011 Infiniti Ex30d in great condition......apart from the alloys are "bubbling" I've had this problem before with Mazda and Lexus, anyway the Infiniti still has the original warranty to the 12th June. I checked with the previous owner who said he hadn't even noticed. I have booked the car into Infiniti Reading for an outstanding warranty issue and at the same time I brought up the alloy issue which wasn't exactly met with any enthusiasm, I was told that it was unusual and that if anything had been done to the alloys there would be no question of warranty work.
• Changing my car, but which one? 23 Feb 2009 (Forum)
  I want a more fuel efficient car that I can put the miles on and don't really want to spend more than my trade-in plus a couple of hundred quid. Looked at a BMW 118d or Lexus 220d but I'm not sure they're quite in my price range. Does anyone have any suggestions? For the first time I'm really not sure what to be looking at...
• Is200 - Baby on the way - What Next? 12 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  With a budget of only 10K I'm having real difficulty finding something rear wheel drive that's under 2 litres with decent driving dynamics & the total reliability of the Lexus. (We've owned an e46, e39 & e34 (and test driven the current 5 series) but the missus couldn't get a comfortable driving position in any of them so that rules out BMW Tourings. The Is200 estate isn't much bigger than the saloon - so that's out too).
• BMW - customer contact program or packages 15 May 2008 (Forum)
  The purpose with this research is to evaluate how manufactures of luxury products confirm or welcome their customers in connection to sales and to identify how this creates value for the costumers. My questions are: -Do the brands BMW, Audi, honda, Lexus and mercedez-Benz have any kind of ?customer contact programme? that welcomes customers as new car owners? -If yes, what is this package/programme comprised of? -Do the packages differ between car models?
• Towing a new caravan - what with? 1 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  The problem is that a caravan to meet the family needs is around 1500Kg +/- A budget for a tow car with say 3-5,000 miles / year (not an every day car) I wanted to be <£10K. I had thought of a Honda Legend (3.5V6 - 2001/2003 vintage from say £7K), A Lexus GS300 (Staright 6 Yr 2000 Around £9-11K). Honda Accord Coupe3 Ltr V6 (£3-5K for 2001 and low mileage) What other come into the category of "worth considering" category - not really wanting a CRV/RAV4 as this they struggle a bit on hills with a caravan on the back and the bigger 4x4 are just to ungainly/van like IMHO.
• My W Reg Vectra 23 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  I don\'t think that it deserves the negative press and publicity that the car has attracted, but perhaps I would have a different view if I came from a background of driving BMWs, Mercs, Lexus etc.... Which leads to the question..... isn\'t it all relative? Cheers. TT.
• First car-HELP!!! 8 Oct 2001 (Forum)
  I am looking to buy my first car, at the moment i am driving about in my Mums H-Reg Mk 2 Astra 1.4. I quite like it but my mum says i am taking it over and my dad wont let me loose in his Lexus GS 300 (cant imagine why?). My parents have said they will chip in 4 a car, but my budget is realistically £1000, as i have to buy insurance etc. I know it is alot to ask but i want something different from my friends, e.g not a Escort or a Modifed Nova, which has a bit of class, but is nt going to get me a gary boy image.
