Docomospur 3rd Gear March 12, 2015 Share March 12, 2015 lol, will try to catch the car in more interesting lighting first! Rayoflight, it's not the F Sport but just the Executive trim. My spindle grille not so fierce haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strongmints 1st Gear March 13, 2015 Share March 13, 2015 nice nice nice! the car i think is heavy which gives it a planted drive sensation. you can try driving neo tiew to lim chu kang to test the different drive modes....just dun get caught by tp! let us know your FC as you drive n topup. btww i read they are going to put in the turbo engine into the next IS version, dunno when though 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrids 2nd Gear March 13, 2015 Share March 13, 2015 Congrats! Mine is the same colour, but not F sport. Went from Botanic gardens to Holland V this morning...FC from start was 25.4 kml for that eco mode journey. Usually get between 950-1050km range indicated on fill up. Now running second tank of 92 octane. Everything seems fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinkong 1st Gear March 13, 2015 Share March 13, 2015 (edited) Hi bros May I know if your fuel mileage shows as km/l or l/km? I just got mine ES but it shows l/km. Any switch or just calculate manually? Thanks. Edited March 13, 2015 by shinkong 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayoflight 5th Gear March 13, 2015 Share March 13, 2015 I test drove the is250 f sport last yr and it left me nothing but beautiful memories of the sweet drive. It was $260k at that time.. Too out of budget Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strongmints 1st Gear March 13, 2015 Share March 13, 2015 I think you can switch the display settings to km/l from the default Is it safe to use 92? I remember the manual says 95. Or rather its the question whether the AD will void the warranty. the F sport grille is very distinctive but yes its a lot more $ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docomospur 3rd Gear March 13, 2015 Share March 13, 2015 Hmm, got to check out the settings options as km/l is indeed more intuitive. In any case, for my first 84km (probably 65/35 in favour of highway), I did about 5.6 lit per 100 km on Normal. I usually drive 70/30 (highway/city) so I think I should be able to hit the combined 20km/l target. I tried the ASC but couldn't really hear it. Does it only kick in on certain modes (e.g. sport) or at certain revs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrids 2nd Gear March 13, 2015 Share March 13, 2015 I personally prefer km/l but in Europe they use l/100km. As for the ASC, it's much more pronounced in Sports mode. And the paddle shifter affect it too. More obvious during manual shifting. But I find it detracts from what is otherwise an amazingly refined car. And once past 50/60 kmh the manual shift is cool.

Docomospur 3rd Gear March 14, 2015 Share March 14, 2015 Thanks, Hybrids. Agree with you that it's actually a bit counter to the whole idea of getting a Lexus in the first place! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it shows 17km/l for my ES-h. ;) Edited March 14, 2015 by shinkong 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And once past 50/60 kmh the manual shift is cool. yes I think you need to rev past 3 or 4k rpm to hear the ASC n its not that loud. You can display the rev counter on the left instead of the default that Eco counter shown on the left. i rarely use the paddle shifter or the sport shifter on the gear lever but I noticed it only show up to 6 though I think it doesnt make a difference since its a CVT gearbox. But totally agree that its really smooth and quiet car even at high speeds if you wish to try, I suggest driving to neo tiew/lim chu kang on sports mode, you will experience the twisty roads and see for yourself how it handles. can buy some fresh veg along the way there haha. a lot of eco farms. i just like to add that anyone out there reading this and comtemplating a bmw, audi, or merc equivalent, you should really take a look the lexus models, definitely worth it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
