Actually, I'd also like: heated windscreen from Ford17" central screen and extensive setup options from Teslabuilt in umbrella from Rolls Royce... and the blonde passenger from a Maserati I saw the other day

I had a test on this car today, and at least one member has asked for me to review it - here it is: http://www.biwel.com/pmb01/PeteBs Lexus NX Test Drive.pdf

Hello Ronald - welcome to Toyota Owners Club

Hi gigondas, here are a few tips that might help you. I've had my Yaris Hybrid for eight months now and have done 5,000 miles in total. Whilst it's not possible to get 80 mpg in regular driving, it's certainly possible to get 65 mpg on a regular basis, but you do need to drive with economy in mind. I use all of the various hybrid system indicators to help me improve my fuel economy and tend to drive in Eco mode (mainly because this modulates the sensitivity of the accelerator pedal and makes it easier for me to keep the car in its most economical mode). In particular, I use the instantaneous mpg readout to help me improve my second-by-second fuel consumption figures and overall this does have a significant impact on average mpg. I now never get less than 61 mpg when measured brim-to-brim (usually this is approximately 64 mpg on the car's average fuel consumption display), and my best brim-to-brim measured fuel consumption is exactly 70 mpg, but that took a lot of effort to achieve. Also, I would strongly advise you not to use the EV button - it's really a bit of a gimmick and can make your fuel economy worse. I note you have the Excel model which is fitted with 16 inch wheels - these also have an effect on the fuel consumption - the official figure for the Excel model is 78.5 mpg which is significantly lower than the official figure for models fitted with 15 inch wheels (85.6 mpg). Whilst both figures are pretty much impossible to achieve on the road, the larger wheel size on the Excel model will also have a negative impact on the real world fuel economy you can achieve. I should also mention that as we are now approaching winter, you won't be able to achieve the best fuel economy figures in the car. The colder months really do have an impact on fuel economy - and not just for hybrids. My previous Audi A2 diesel used to drop from 58 mpg to 50 mpg in the winter months. Hope all of this helps.

It was suggested, but an 8 year old 12v, which normally have a useful life of 5 years, was reading less than 11.5v. Anything less than 12v is poor on a Prius. The 12v fails quietly in a Prius and it can cause all sorts of weird and wonderful electric gremlin issues; unlocking issues, alarm problems, weird warning lights and error codes, falling mpg's. You get the picture.

This has been in place since 1988, and was increased in 2008 to £55. It is a one-off fee.

Hi, the £55 is the first registration fee, which is payable the first time any new car is registered with the DVLA. See link below: https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-registration/new-registrations-fee
