Lexus IS Saloon (2013 - 2020) 300h Luxury (Navigation/Leather) 4d CVT Auto Owner Review

Wonderfully smooth gearbox can't feel the gear changes, regardless of how hard you push it. Excellent build quality absolutely solid in every department. Excellent and comfortable driving position for my 125 mile round commute to work, I don't get tired or feel any aches and pains. The Fuel economy is excellent averaging 55 on the motorway and 47 in town. Driving in ECO mode maximises economy but the ability to instantly Switch to sport or normal for overtaking and a speedy get away is easy. The electric mode enables a quiet getaway in the morning or a quiet return at night, not disturbing anyone. Rear room is good for my 3 children. lack of a spare wheel does concern me as I travel a lot but so far I have had no punctures. I find the hybrid drive very smooth and effortless. After reading the reviews of journalists I almost did not buy this and nearly bought a C class Benz. It was the Benz dealership that put me off and I'm so glad they did. Not sure what car the motor journalists have been driving but my experience is the complete opposite in over 16000 miles to date. No faults or niggles, just pure quality. Love the shape of the car overall bar the rear lights. One issue is the basic Satnav does not offer door numbers, I should have opted for the premium Satnav.
