Lexus unless you are tall. I’m 6ft4 and couldn’t get the seat low enough in the IS.

I get mid 50's mpg (uk) in my GS450h which I know is a lot better than the GS300.

3.5L V6 and CVT are an ok combination. I must admit I have been considering trading in my GS450H for an RX450H although the new NX450H looks interesting.

Totally agree. Just watching that Guy Martin programme with all the faulty EV chargers ... even the 150kwW chargers only working at a quarter of the speed. I watched numerous other videos on YouTube and reliability in the infrastructure seems to be a theme.

Yes I should take a break, but that hour slack you put into your travelling plans when you are driving to catch a ferry can vanish in an instant with an accident on the motorway. With an EV I would still need to stop to charge whereas a comfort break is 10 mins top. Arriving at the...

I have to admit I was seriously looking at buying an EV. Then I watched the Guy Martin thing the other week driving the Ionic 5 and the poor range at motorway speeds and the reliability of the charging network and have decided I should maybe wait a few more years. On paper the range of the...

If you are looking post 2016, wouldn’t it be the 450h?

You want to try the average Lexus dealership … wait a sec, they are fantastic so I’m in the wrong thread.

So it is a W204? I had a 220CDI many years back. 5 Speed Auto and the foot-operated parking brake. I believe the W204 is when Mercedes stopped being led by beancounters and the quality started to improve again.

I think I must have one of the shortest lists. Living and working in London after Uni didn’t really require a car so I only past my test in 2005 and bumped and scratched company pool cars and hire cars for a bit. 2006 BMW 120D 2009 Mercedes C220cdi 2011 Mercedes E350cdi 2014 Lexus GS450h

I totally disagree. Sport cars bring a sense of occasion which saloons and hot hatches can’t. I really love the Lexus LC500h and if I fit (headroom is the usual issue) and the itch gets to a point I might look at getting one. However, I’m actually only going to gain about half a second...

Lexus GS 450H ... getting on a bit now but just about to pay for another 2 year warranty as I'm starting to think this might be my last ICE car.

On the environmental side... driving the 250 miles down to Portsmouth to get the ferry to Spain, sticking at the speed limit on a spring day... I will get well over 50MPG. How much more do those 1.2L and 1.6L modern turbos manage?

My 3.5L V6 petrol hybrid boring saloon sits at 1,500 RPM on the motorway at 70mph and is lovely and peaceful. When I travel through Germany, I can sit happily all day (or until the fuel runs out) at 120Mph (I’m don’t have the level of concentration required to sit at 150mph for long periods). I...

If you can find one and fancy something a little different ... how about a Lexus LC? It won’t break down and is very rare.

The ET7 measures in at 5,098mm long, 1,987mm wide ... yea that will be fun in the average U.K. car park.

I managed 40k miles out of my last set of tyres .... although to be fair my front discs have lasted over 90k miles and only changed my rears at 85k miles due to corrosion. I maybe should drive my car a little harder ... it is 360bhp/370nm.

I rather like the Lexus LC 500 convertible ... a little out of my price range but might be a good buy on the second-hand market in a few years as being a Lexus it will never go wrong.

I'm about an inch shorter with an inch shorter leg but expect I'm wider! My first car was a 1 series BMW. That is f you can live with the tiny boot and tiny glove compartment (I'm assuming they haven't improved in size) and don't need the rear seats. Another curveball option (again with size...

Drive a hybrid so I don’t have one.
