Yes, the dealer found a car with the exact spec I wanted, and offered it at a great price. A year on, my car is worth almost the same as I paid a year ago.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted something different, see too many BMW's on the road these days

What was the dealer like?

Dealt with Lexus Lincoln, who brought the car to London from Lincoln for me to look at at my home, and all was a very simple process.

What's it like to drive?

Smooth as you would expect from Lexus, but also has a bit of a sporty feel in that you feel the bumps in the road. Wish it had a slightly softer suspension but its not that bad as it is. The fuel economy isnt great with all the short journeys I do.

What's it like to park?

Easy. Put it in reverse and use the camera.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No.

What's most practical about your car?

Naviagation with Traffic - Although the traffic only updates every 15 mins or so, it still helps a great deal, and also the Nav screen doubles up as the screen for the reverse camera, making it simple to park
