Lexus Owners (To share driving experience and advise)

[RK88]

Honestly I quite sian with the freebies from Lexus liao always the same stuff, caps, golf bags, umbrellas, polo-shirts etc etc although I must say all these things are of very high quality. Then when buy car they will give you the top of the line film which I always tell them no film on my cars because I only install Sumitomo Ray Barrier film. So I normally tell them to give discounts instead.

 

What is the freebies that you get in Thailand? 

 

Here they will give umbrella, wine, pouch, and golf bags

Because the car is very new Lexus Thailand has limited stock and colour now only black and white. I selected their new colour Ice Ecru with topaz brown leather so have to indent with Japan. Contract says delivery end Oct early Nov.

 

Ice Ecru is like chrome with tint of gold a little like champagne looking like this

Brought my GS for a car wash on Monday, I thought I share with you all a typical car wash in Thailand. First of all one can hardly find an automatic car wash in Thailand, there are but very very rare, most are manual.

 

So here is a typical Thai car wash for you. It typically has a waiting room for customers

 

Aircon room for waiting with wifi and coffee and water

 

Car being wash

 

 

Dry manually with cloth and a guy with airgun blowing water from difficult areas

 

Interior also cleaned and vacuumed then a brown paper placed on the floor

 

Just after washed going to dry, video shows the car wash shop

Price list - "Green" wash exterior; "Light blue" wash exterior+interior; "Dark Blue" exterior+interior+bottom; "Purple" clean engine only; "Pink" waxing car only. For my car its 180 baht or $7.60

hope to see the new ES when i send my car down for servicing next month.

 

What's the 2 knobs on both sides of the driver's side of the dashboard ?

 

  

[Kelloggs]

i like how the Lexus service centre is set up to allow customers to work from there if they want, with proper/enough tables, chairs, business centre with printers, massage chair to relax. i usually bring my laptop there and work there all day while waiting for my car, and the aunties will keep bringing me drinks and snacks throughout till i have to beg them no need to.

The 2 knobs on top - the right knob is to select sports, normal, eco ; the right knob is to turn VSC on/off

So do you drive the car yourself in bangkok or you hire a driver while you sleep/relax/work/eat in the back seat ?

I drive myself, everywhere in Thailand. Contrary to what other people think Thailand is actually a fun place to be driving a car. Good roads, 120km/h speed limit, courteous drivers, very different from Singapore. Its very relaxing.

@kellogs I wonder if you missed the thread on the latest ES, I had posted a simple review here http://www.mycarforum.com/topic/2709910-2018-2019-7th-generation-lexus-es/page-5?do=findComment&comment=6510978 if you are interested
