The Good and Bad of Daily Driving a Hybrid
Thinking of getting a hybrid car? This might just help you make up your mind!
Elevated Status – Lexus UX 200 F-Sport Review
Lexus UX 200 F-Sport Review New Zealand Founded almost thirty years ago, Lexus immediately established themselves as a premium vehicle marque that made luxury, craftsmanship and technology much more attainable. What they arguably lost in kerbside appeal they more than made up with, in driveability and overall, the way you felt when behind the wheel. […]
A Dynamic Decade – Lexus RC-F 10th Anniversary review
Lexus RC-F 10th Anniversary review New Zealand To celebrate a decade of their luxurious sport division ‘F Performance’, Lexus has released special 10th Anniversary versions of the GS and RC. Both come in matte finish Nebula Grey coats, both have striking blue leather interiors and both have a 5L, V8 Quad Cam, 32 valve heart, […]
The Joys of Summer – Lexus Track Days
Lexus Summer of Performance New Zealand For most of us, it’s hard not to enjoy the summer months. The days are longer, and so too are the smiles.

I had the chance to test drive the new Lexus ES300H and shhhh, I found it very quiet. So quiet in fact that I’m embarrassed to say that once I pushed the start button and nothing seemed to happen I ended up starting it again – damn hybrid cars always catch me out. On ignition […]
Lexus RC-F Carbon Fibre -SuperTourer
I managed to get my hands on the RC-F Carbon Fibre, Lexus have pegged it as a road going performance car but I think it’s more of a grand tourer. The Carbon Fibre version is around 10kg’s lighter than the regular (if you can call it that) RC-F but the reality is it’s more of […]
Lexus RC 200 F Sport is Lexus to a T – a 200t
Lexus’s (or is it Lexi) vehicles seem to be more ‘Sculpted’ than manufactured. Their lines and curves have more of artistry about them than pure automotive design.
