Its hard to replace it

@@HighPeakAutos i know

@@HighPeakAutos Thanks for the video. Enjoyable/entertaining to watch and informative at same time (as always). £0.33/mile is a bargain but shouldn’t you add the depreciation to that to get the real total costs of ownership? You will be able to very accurately estimate the value of the car today. I think it might make the case for the Lexus even stronger but I’d much rather hear that from you than from a KZfaq armchair ‘expert’ like me.

What a good son you are ! Methinks my Mum would've loved a newer car (regardless of whatever it was) I agree with you that some of the earlier EVs look odd. In my opinion even the Tesla looks as stylish as a bar of soap... 🙄

Lexus RC300H £20k will get her a decent one and change things up abit.

Congrats! They're great cars

I currently own a GS250 F-Sport and the RC is about the only car i'd ever consider replacing it with. Theres a sprint blue one I see driving round my area and it honestly looks like a six figure supercar!

Oh yeah, what Lexus models have you had? I found my RX the most reliable then the IS 250 I owned. The SC 430 has cost me more than I paid for it, over the last 2 years of ownership, in maintenance bills.

@@CarsofGlasgow 2007 Is 250, 2013 Is 250 and a 2017 Nx 300h.

@@stevendavenport364 Oh very nice! Was the 2013 the 3rd gen? (as thats quite a rare model)

@@CarsofGlasgow Yes. And no CVT gearbox. Just the 2.5 V6 with a 6 speed auto. It was really nice, not as economical as the hybrid but better to drive.

Yes, your experiences are echoed on American channels such as Scotty Kilmer and Car Wizard, where they put serious milages on their cars!

Thanks for sharing!

Love the i3. They are also about 20k for a good one from Wisely. Nowhere near the utility of the NX though.

Its a great car

You just need to go for a Premier/Takumi model.

I had an 06 GS450H a few years ago,what a flying machine! Only car that came close was an infinite m hybrid, that was even quicker but not as smooth. Pound for pound, Lexus make the worlds best cars..

We have a GS450h as well. Apart from the economy and the quality we love the instant pickup. Not keen on the small boot though .

I got a GS 300h a few weeks ago, considered the 450 and I know it’s a rocket but the cheaper tax, 50mpg and slightly bigger boot swayed me (I’ve owned fast cars before).. but still a bit jealous! The build quality and comfort is unreal

@@mamba101 Oh amazing! What colour is your GS 300h?

I got a 2017 GS300H and it does 45 mpg on average. Excellent car. Full of practical gadgets (HUD, heated and ventilated seats, keyless entry, 18-way adjustable electric seats, etc.). A bit more expensive than its European counterparts but really worths it.

Matt sorry but a FIAT is not even on the same page as a Toyota! Fix it again tomorrow is what FIAT stands for!

@@TheJon2442 I love that slogan! It is the same with BMW= break my wallet

@@CarsofGlasgow don't forget Lotus! Lots of trouble, usually serious.

@@raff_spriggles_tfn5910 oh yes!

I like those new Rav4's too

Glad you like them!

Thanks!

Oh wow. Great choice of cars between you all. Thanks for watching

Good stuff. Cheers :)

I was looking forward to the late KO too. It suddenly didnt matter though

That’s hybrids

Good idea

Yeah as an average too. I thought that was very good

Thanks!

Yes they are!

Thanks for sharing!

Strangely the Evoque increased in value over the 12 months and this has remained exactly the same. Very strange times we live in

I filmed with an LS600h last year but when I got home the sound quality was bad so I never edited it

@@HighPeakAutos That's a shame, what did you think of it?

Thanks. I think she is

Lexus Stockport are great too

My 2008 Toyota Prius managed 69.4mpg a few weeks ago, with me also getting 651 miles out of the same 45 litre tank of E5 Esso Supreme 99+ Unleaded fuel.

Around £20k

The Lexus NX 300h has a much cleverer and more sophisticated (genius) e-CVT NOT a CVT like many other vehicles so it is based purely on planetary gears and has no belts or pulley to go wrong like other more unreliable CVT. Personally I love the way it drives - very relaxing when it winds down to low revs at motorway speeds. This video explains how it works (and why it is so reliable) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZxhisyZsrjImoE.html

Hybrid is the route we should be going rather than full EV's

Until we can produce Hydrogen cleanly...

@@HighPeakAutos I agree. Until an EV can give at least 500 miles range and charge in under 10 mins to full, then it just doesn't work for some of us. Why? Because we need compromise for the "savings".

@@UnseenSpirit 500 miles and charging in 10 minutes is applying ICE habits to EVs. I sincerely hope that you won’t drive 500 miles without taking a break or two. Therefore a 300 miles range should be more than enough. How many miles do you regularly drive on one day? That’s the range that you’d really need. EVs should be charged at or near home at night (and slowly to save the battery). If your occasional destination is over half the range, then you’d want to charge at (or near) your destination. Fast charging should only be necessary on long trips (e.g. holiday).

@@Conservator. ICE habit yes, but also convenience. I don't drive anywhere near 300 miles a day, it is 78 miles a day. A tank of 40 litres in my prius gives me a range of 550 or so miles in winter and 600 or so in summer. More if I stayed under 70. I fuel up when I hit 100 miles left of range. It is a habit from anxiety I suppose. I have the same when I hit 20 percent on my phone. I also need to be very early at work for when I take my train out of the depot or take over one due to this anxiety haha. I do plenty of air bnb trips and love that it's a hatchback that is reliable. I can fit 2 Brompton bikes in with luggage and food etc easily. My vehicle is used for everything. Ikea trips where I've fit a 220 cm cupboard (flat pack) to dumping lots of things to a recycling centre from a washing machine to a broken up shed. My wife is a keen gardener so every year we get over a ton of compost and lots of plants. It fits my fishing rods and gear comfortably and golf clubs and bag. Again the prius can't be faulted on how useful it is. Yes it's ugly and slow but also cost per mile (including in repairs and maintenance) is exceptional. I am a rail worker who requires my vehicle to get into work and home (because I can start at 04:30 am or finish at 01:58 am) so reliability is vital. 300 mile range is possible I believe in an EV but in the real world, having spoke to many EV drivers, what is claimed can be off by around about 10 to 15 percent off. My prius is slow, but I may or may not hit 95 mph when the roads or quiet. So, yes 500 miles range and fast charging is vital for me. Why? Because it is what I have now (well I have more range and fuel up in under 3 minutes (I've timed it and fuel up at quiet times since I start or finish late) using a station that has cars payments at the pump) I don't have a fast charger near me (closes is 20 miles). I could install a charger on my property and drive way, but I believe a 3 pin charging speed at home in the UK is quite slow. Will it charge 78 miles that I do a day over night? Probably but I need to do more research. So, 300 miles if it was a real world range would give me over 3 trips to work and back. 600 miles gives me over 7 trips to work and back. 500 miles would give me 6 trips exactly. Then there is the cost. A M3 is an efficient vehicle but I have a hatch which is so useful for my lifestyle. I'd have to get a Model Y but that costs around £60k... I have looked at other EV's too such as the Ev6 but that's around about £50k. It's a big expense if I was to get a new EV with good range and a hatchback and I'm earning a decent salary too. So, I've done my research. Why would I compromise myself by having less range? I don't want to wait 30 minutes or more to charge a vehicle if I'm on a air bnb or fishing road trip road trip. So for me, until an EV meets what I want, then my next car may very well be another prius which has been superb for my needs. However my 2009 car has been so faultless that I suspect it may very well last many more years (many do 300k miles hence why they are so popular for uber drivers).

I did look at those but (no offence) they looked a bit boring

@@HighPeakAutos none taken and I would agree like you said there just isn't enough choice for used evs. We went with a golf because of that it just blends in which mostly suits my wife.

They’re great. Definitely go for a high spec SE L though

In previous video, he said he hates Outlander.

I hate the diesel and petrol versions. I've never had the PHEV

I had the outlander, the interior quality is infinitely better in the Lexus. Reliability could be similar but parts are very hard to get these days for the Mitsubishi as it is no longer on sale (new) in the UK.

Thats right. There are lots of things to consider

Lexus in general and even more so their hybrids are notoriously cheap to run. Brake pads go for 100k+

Lexus RX400h or a Kia Sorento MK2
