Paul Harrison good old Tiff was sacked by Discovery Networks UK after his 2018 contract ended. He’s not coming back but he is a car reviewer on ilovecars YT channel apparently

Chris Dooley he is

sonybabe786 because they scrap away they old cars for the new cars but not the case with toyota. They still mind reliability

The awd system is pathetic. The cvt system has problems, new engines do have problems. It's no longer reliable as they were, sadly. I really liked these cars

Eng. Rashad But it has some huge downsides with crappy looks and a tiny ass boot. On balance though... I’d buy this over the Audi/bmw I suppose.

@@Showmetheevidence- and the gearbox is 💩

D.B. I think it looks cute

D.B. looks is personal taste. But from other aspect, this lexus still hold some value compare to the competition in the market.

True. If some people out there have money to waste on maintenance, by all means get a BMW, Benz or Audi.

Naveen Pillai well said

@@xXriverratsXx These presenters are now detached from the real world.

In real world the self charging hybrids are less efficient than the 2L diesels......... without the savings on maintenance due to the petrol engine. Now you have additional ocmponents that can go wrong, it maybe Toyota but they do go wrong and batteries do need replacing.

@@NickLiang NL3044?

Exept britain hardly makes cars anymore, 😂

what car does britain make again?

Yeah, those rubbish British made cars - Lotus, Noble, Arial Atom, Rolls Royce, Morgan, Aston Martin, certainly not some of the finest vehicles in the world. I drive a 12 year old Lexus though and love it.

@@sukhdevr3489 Reliability and comfort 100% yes, but performance isn't the Japanese thing these days. Fastest car Toyota offer is the BMW made Supra. Depends what you want, I got rid of a performance BMW for a comfy Lexus but that's just me.

Sukhdev R34 because most of them looking toward future especially for hybrid and ev cars. As far i know toyota start to do r&d on hybrid and ev cars at the end 90s and now most of they r&d result are used on various production cars including this lexus in the video. And that's why now they turn back the performance with GR division developing performance cars. I sure they also got boring with kind of commuter cars. Other manufactures is honda also start at near time and now aslo start to enjoy the result. Other japanese maker like nissan is late because they financial hold them in 90s and they just start r&d in mid 2000s. Until now nissan and it's aliance were still busy doing r&d and they cars going sucks again.

Chruni Lee did he leave

@@tomaszlukaszewski2309 Yes, a couple of months ago.

They are not up to speed on the Toyota Synergy Drive?

But the downside is 15 year old technology with next to no innovation......... depends what you want.

it is good! Main reason I bought my Lexus cars

@@NickLiang If that is 15 year old technology, then the Germans and Americans are behind by about 30 years.

It has a CVT gearbox so it will NEVER be reliable

@@drone_tours Toyota CVT's are reliable. And its not a gear box. Although it does have a launch gear and then it goes CVT after that. Subee and Korean CVT's are not good.

Its been JDPower number 1 for a decade. I have only just been able to afford one and its great.

SHARP2026 they see performance aspect, not from most people aspect. They verry hate kind of commuter cars because it's boring and nonsense to drive but that's majority people use it.

S Tristan Doug DeMuro is far better than these guys.

Nima Mojtahedzadeh Doug who?

S Tristan just search for his channel and see his reviews.

Nima Mojtahedzadeh I’m joking. Of course I know who he is... hence my original comment.

@@stristan6302 Lol!

How normally is normally? Even when I drive it normally, it's still crap.

I own a 2019 CT 200h and it is quite good, ride is a little firm

@Alen cyriac cyriac Are you a Toyota/lexus fan?

@Alen cyriac cyriac I think Lexus cars are great !

D.B. He has a mechanic segment in the show, I think he’s ok and knows his stuff.

My UX250H returns 53mpg city or motorway. Runs electric half the time with the 2L petrol engine off. It makes good use of its 181 BHP.

VDPEFi it just got released but it won’t be getting any good numbers lmao

well Mogg drives a Jag....

I always remember this when I see a good Lexus driving about.

every other car in it's class has a bigger boot, kid. if you want to judge this car for what it is - it is the worst CUV you can buy and one of the slowest other than a CHR.

@@potatochobit fair play amigo, good point well made. Pros - Comfy, refined, reliable, high up driving position, nice looking. Cons - small boot, poor rear space and sluggish in comparison to class. Fair summary?

I know, the CT has a small boot too (I own a 2019 model). I wish they went into more detail rather than racing it around a track. Ps you might like my channel Robert as its for the lexus cars I own

An Astra would not be on my list. Only Lexus Toyota Honda KIA Hyundai. Everything else is rubbish.

R C for double the price with options

_B -Lowe_ Thank you! I always get so annoyed with reviewers when they don’t even know what type of transmission (or the lack there of!) is in the car they are reviewing!

I'm sure people would stop calling them CVTs if Toyota stopped calling them CVTs as well, considering they call them e-CVT in all their brochures, all their websites etc. Idk about you but "e-CVT" sounds like a CVT to me.

Wanna know a secret. Nobody gives a flying fuck. The public/people who buy this will consider looks, running costs and comfort as the main aspects. All your engineering BS makes absolutely no difference to 99.9% of buyers.

The 2L petrol engine has 151 BHP and the electric traction motor has 30 BHP. It has a 24kW NiMH battery. This all seemlessly works together using a three way power split device aka Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive. The P711 transmission is great.

Not run flats in uk. Have Bridgestone Turanza T005(A).

Just like a audi is a Nicer vw

The First Gen UX is poorly engineered. So is my Third age; REFRESH 2015 LX. Those two models always have issues. Every other Lexus model is bulletproof.

@Any Name You Wish Badly engineered. Lexus cars aren't built like they are in the past. The new XZ10 ES is also plagued with rattling chairs, malfunctioning parking sensors and creaking door handles. I've kinda came to the conclusion that - don't buy a Lexus that was initially meant as a cheaper Toyota, like the UX, ES and NX. Get a Lexus that uses Toyota's ‘N’ or “New N” luxury platforms (Mark X, Crown, Century), not the ones meant for the budget cars. Even so, a mutual friend's RC350 had his leather seats flaking off prematurely (until it's torn) despite religiously taking care of his vehicle. i.ibb.co/gDg9719/d77e2e2b-7aa5-46c4-80bf-8b73540b8fd3.jpg. As usual, they blame the user. For my accelerator clicking noise, Toyota Motor claims it's clicking volume is "within specifications", despite mine clicking much louder than other UX250h models and refuses to help me. How can the car have left Kyushu factory and the takumi master not notice the noise? There's also a lack in consistency across Lexus's current infotainment systems too. I understand that they have to do an adaptation for different markets. However, for Lexus(s) sold in Southeast Asia, the infotainment systems cannot read any form of stroke characters (Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, etc) which is a joke. A Japanese marque that cannot read it's own homeland characters - 🤦🏻‍♂️ The lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto retrofitting in Southeast Asia by the dealership (without voiding the warranty) is also missing, and owners who bought MY2019 UX and ES are left to use outdated maps. In-built map updates are ridiculously expensive at $600-700USD per update when other makes can offer for a much lower price. My Volvo offers free for life updates. The design and usability of the infotainment needs work too. I.e - The settings for the tailgate buzzer volume is set via the speedometers, but the opening position is set via remote touch. The buzzer sound when unlocking the rest of the doors are set via remote touch. The settings are scattered all around and finding them can be a hassle until one gets used to it. Anyways, probably the last Lexus for me - at least for the models that started off as a Toyota variant. Overhyped craftsmanship. I'd just buy a Toyota - reliable, value for money, and no exaggerated marketing. Toyota always engineer their cars to be as tough, reliable and as simple as possible. When Lexus touches it, they complicate things and overdo some stuffs, creating new problems. So if you get an IS, GS, LS, LC, LFA, etc - those kinda started out from the drawing board as a Lexus. Toyota developed them for Lexus cars and Lexus designed it ground up. Barely any parts are shared.

My UX250H has done 25,500 miles with zero defects. We also have a KIA Picanto which has done 51,000 miles with zero defects. Perhaps you are driving an Astra?

Yep, he's negative about everything unless its German, I can't stand him, he's odious.

well, this car has alot of negative things about it, like - it's a CHR.

Is that with the seats folded down?

Disliked too. The only judgmental people are the ones always giving bad tests about good cars

why do you say it’s terrible? do you own one?

@@gumaming I do have family members that own a CHR which is this exact same car but without the luxury interior and it is terrible.
