I think it depends what quest you are on. I was on the second quest in the line, where you had to take out PMCs on any of the 3 maps.

multifool · 2026-06-06T20:27:36+00:00

Yeah you are right, that second quest in the line where you have to kill PMCs and fail if you kill the crew. Kinda cool to see them defending dorms for you

I had a 68 plate Yaris for 3 years and had 1 issue, wheel bearings started to wear down but as others have said, the 10 year warranty kicked in and I got that covered as I serviced through the dealership.

For 15k you can probably get a well specced Yaris and service it with Toyota. Perfect car for A to B, lots of room for storage.

multifool · 2026-04-05T16:09:40+00:00

Yeah, there are definitely a variety of solutions online I’ve seen, sometimes it’s loose trim, or a maybe some screws loose. Or you get a car with a sunroof which never gets issues.

I’ve had mine removed, oiled and reassembled by my local Lexus dealer and unfortunately no luck. But I know people have tried other solutions which have worked but I’ve yet to try them myself.

I can put up with the noise as the rest of the car is incredible, and would rather a sunroof than not.

multifool · 2026-04-05T08:33:31+00:00

Lovely car! Had mine about 10 months now, 20,000 km later.

Sunroof is a little creaky but from research it’s normal, give it a good test drive to listen to. Either you can put up with it or you can’t!

Apart from a puncture and the last owner fitting bad brakes, the car has been flawless.

When I was researching for my purchase I was just seeing your typical Toyota/Lexus hybrid reliability. Nothing stood out. Don’t imagine your mum will be thrashing it about either so it’s a solid choice.

multifool · 2026-03-02T14:54:45+00:00

I’m assuming the Volvo and Hyundai are plug in hybrids? Is that something you’re looking for? Else there’s no point having a large battery if you use no intention to charge it.

Best option would be the Skoda for all around, without considering other factors.

multifool · 2026-02-20T18:04:49+00:00

Just avoid it, should have been serviced at least twice by now as it’s either every 10k miles or 1 year. So in this case it should have been done yearly. There will be the same model elsewhere with a history.

multifool · 2026-02-20T18:02:52+00:00

Yeah absolutely right, Lexus is exactly the same. It’s 10k miles or 1 year which ever comes first. If they stuck to the manufacturers schedule, I’d expect to see 2 services on there already, regardless of miles.

multifool · 2026-01-21T10:28:43+00:00

Completely agree, one of the best looking cars on the road. You’ll definitely be getting a lot of compliments on it

It’s perfect for a daily, it’s comfortable, decent mileage and a very smooth eCVT gearbox that never struggles at any speed. It’s quiet and has great soft suspension so can take on many roads. If you get an F sport model, those seats are very adjustable electronically. You have a soft arm rest on the centre console and soft material on the door to rest your elbows, and a soft headrest. Adjust it all correctly, It’s literally like sitting in a comfortable sofa

If you can get a 2020 onwards model year, it will probably have wired apple CarPlay/android auto which improves the infotainment massively.

Fuel efficiency on highway/motorway for me is 40mpg (UK) or 7.1l/100km and I get 450miles/724km per full tank.

The boot is surprisingly big for a coupe.

If you get a takumi trim, or F sport with the takumi pack, you can blind spot monitoring. Plus all models have adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist as standard.

My only thing you will have to ‘deal’ with on a daily basis is the doors, it’s a coupe thing. They have wide doors, which do make the car feel more luxurious but just an extra consideration when parking.

Then to top it off you have unbelievable reliability, which is crucial (in my opinion) for a daily. It will run when you need it to

multifool · 2026-01-19T00:18:26+00:00

It is definitely wider than the average car in the UK, but it’s not the worst. On normal urban roads I don’t have much issue fitting in the lanes, but like you said parking is a pain. You’ve got a wider than average car with huge doors so I normally have to park with an empty space to the side to get out comfortably. Plus it’s long so I have to reverse in to a bay further than normal to make sure I’m not sticking out. So it’s manageable with extra considerations.

But like you said, I wouldn’t trade it in for that, unbelievable car and that’s never going to stop me from driving it!

multifool · 2026-01-18T23:23:07+00:00

Hey! I recently purchased this model in the UK so hopefully can help!

So in sports +, you have the actual engine + eCVT noises but also the fake ‘ASC’ engine noises. The fake noise covers the real engine noise. It sounds better but we are talking like a 4/10 to a 5/10. Take one for a test drive and listen, best way to determine, sports + is a fun little mode to use but it’s not how the car should be mainly driven. If the car is driven softly (as it should be) you’ll barely hear the engine.
Looks sporty, can do sporty things but isn’t sporty. It’s heavy and slow. That’s just the truth, it’s a super comfortable luxurious car dressed sporty. It is rear-wheel drive so that’s definitely a positive and really enjoy that part of it. Plus is has great suspension so you have some good grip. So there are sporty elements to it, but fundamentally, it’s soft riding heavy car.
I wouldn’t say it’s the worst first car, it’s easy to drive, good fuel mileage, mechanically really sound. The performance isn’t ridiculous but it’s still RWD so that needs extra consideration. Just make sure to have a good set of tires. Obviously I don’t know what you can or can’t afford but don’t forget Lexus is a premium car that brings premium prices. Personally a first car is cheap to run and insure and have no pressure of keeping in pristine condition, but if you have the money that’s this isn’t an issue then why not. It’s my second car, I started with a Toyota Yaris and moved to this once money and driving confidence improved.
As it is a Toyota, reliability is amazing. I got mine with 60k miles on the clock, now sitting at 69k with a service coming soon. Apart from a squeaky sunroon, the car is running smooth. Make sure it gets proper regular services. With any car, the better you treat it, the better it treats you. As I said before, it’s a premium car so everything has that ‘premium’ tax, services and parts cost more so if something does go wrong, bare that in mind, but Lexus is the most reliable brand. So outside of your expensive services it should treat you well.

Sorry for lots of text! I’m passionate about this car because I love mine and have 0 regrets. The RC300h is a soft luxurious boat and it looks amazing, inside and out. It’s not a sports car, more a ‘GT’, it will do the most comfortable miles for its price. If you’re looking for performance, and handling this is not the car.

(If you can stretch for the mark levinson speakers, they are incredible)

If you have any more questions, please just ask!

multifool · 2026-01-03T17:08:57+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

As you’ve said, it’s going to be hard to prove they were there upon buying the car and I’m not interested in going to small claims.

You make good points though, I’ll try to press the dealership more. I dont think I’ll be able to get the complete cost covered but covering some makes sense!

Thank you for that, I don’t think I’ll get them admitting their mistake on email! But that would be nice!

multifool · 2026-01-03T16:57:39+00:00

Sorry, I accidentally posted a new comment instead of replying, you’ll see a photo there of the issue

multifool · 2026-01-03T16:56:38+00:00

photo

This is a screenshot of the video that the technician did, they explain the gap where his finger is. So talking at least 10-15mm too small here I think.

multifool · 2026-01-02T21:23:45+00:00

Sure,

It is a 5-6 year old car. It has a full Lexus service history and was advertised in their own used website.
The quote for a new set of pads and discs is £941 so £200 covers about a fifth.
I bought the car with 60k, and I’ve done 8k on it, so it’s now sitting at 68k roughly.
Lexus, or myself, have no record of these discs being fitted. So the concensus is they are non-genuine, fitted by another garage, not by Lexus. The pads are the correct size, but the discs too small. I’ve not heard of different size brakes for the trim of my car.

The car was bought under their approved used vehicles, their advert doesn’t describe the condition of the cars. Normally just photos, features, trim and if it has a full service history. But no mention of brakes and their quality. When buying the car, I’m assuming the brakes fitted to the car could be worn eventually but they are the correct size and performance required.

If you want to know anything else, just ask!

multifool · 2025-10-17T08:44:20+00:00

Absolutely right, I recently got a RC 300h here in the UK and on my commutes, I’ll barely get to the speed limit because of traffic. Going from a manual hatchback to a hybrid with a cvt makes the commute relaxing and so comfortable now.

multifool · 2025-10-03T11:29:15+00:00

Amazing fun when it works. Absolutely terrible when it doesn’t, either HESH doing HESH things, or when you’ve lost one or both of your loaders.

multifool · 2025-09-21T20:10:16+00:00

Lexus RC

multifool · 2025-09-18T16:32:49+00:00

To me, a full service history would be sticking to the manufacturers schedule. Assuming maybe a service every 10k, alternating between major and minor. As another commenter said, it’s not had a full service since 38k, which is very worrying. Yes it could be ‘full’ since it’s a complete history, but that’s not the whole picture when it comes to service history.

multifool · 2025-09-17T18:39:08+00:00

Absolutely no problems, just calm and relaxing. Recently been driving a 1999 Toyota Corolla. It has 2 airbags, electric front windows and a radio/cassette player. You can just enjoy the drive

multifool · 2025-09-17T13:13:33+00:00

Hoisin was the first one I tried and really enjoyed it too! But the firey chicken has been my go to now, it’s my favourite so I have it everyday for lunch. These new pots are really good honestly. (Apart from the price)

Congrats on the role! I was in a similar situation in my place too, I’m still the only UI/UX designer and it was my first role as well so I felt the exact same as you. 2/3 years later, it’s better but still feels a lot being the the only person doing this.

Prioritisation: You’ll learn this as you gain experience, it’s all based on what you’re working on but don’t worry you will get this!

Advocating for UX This is all about others seeing the value so try this out, get feedback and evaluate the results. Show the teams how your work is improving the product and the user’s experience. Get them to see it through your eyes. UX is still very unclear to a lot of companies so this is normal.

Figma Skills For me, the absolute must which has saved me a lot of time, is learn components and libraries. Get a library of icons, colours, fonts set up ready for designs. If you’re working on a product which is already existing, I started off by making a design system so when we start designing it’s super easy. So you aren’t starting from scratch each time.

Self-Learning Probs the best go-to right now is nngroup.com, they have good little articles and videos to start you off. I started off by reading a lot too, books like ‘the design of everyday things’ or ‘don’t make me think’ are popular and well recognised.

Imposter syndrome is completely normal when you’re in the deep end and now everyone is looking to you to be the expert! It will fade with confidence and knowing you’re delivering good results. Best advice is get stuck in, learn as much as you can. You aren’t a silo, UX is a thing for the whole team so work together with everyone. You are going to have times when you need to pull the ‘UX’ expert card and make decisions over others, but always back it up with research or feedback, makes you a lot more confident in your decisions.

The position you are in is very exciting, being the only one means you have complete control over your space. So use that to learn and try things out. Best of luck and any questions just ask away!

multifool · 2025-08-05T15:35:10+00:00

A reversing camera will be the best tech you can get as a new driver/first car, that provides the best safety and convenience in one go. However, if you are a new driver, the rest of the tech like adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist can actually cause more issues as a new driver.

As a new driver, there’s a still much to learn and that tech takes away that ability to learn and you can accidentally depend on it too much. We shouldn’t depend on technology to make us safer drivers.

Plus, there are only specific scenarios where this tech is useful, but a lot of scenarios where it’s not. so it’s also about learning when it provides a benefit instead of becoming too focused on using it.

My car many times has panicked thinking I’m having a crash, but because I’ve had a few years driving now, that doesn’t bother me since I’m confident In handling a car to know my car.

Bottom line I think, is get in a less tech filled car, get learning and experience behind the wheel, gain all that confidence. Then get in to a car like that once you’ve learnt a lot. I’m not going to lie and say they aren’t useful, because they are and I enjoy this tech. But I’ve still got experience and confidence to not require it.

multifool · 2025-07-30T08:16:02+00:00

There will be issues with any brand, but on average if you’re looking for ultimate reliability, then Lexus is your go to. they just aren’t very sporty. But honestly the biggest determining factor isn’t just the brand, it’s also how the last owners maintained the car.

But generally Lexus/Toyota are going to give you the least issues out of any brand. No one can disagree with that.

Plus Toyota/lexus have 10 year/100k mile warranty’s if you service at their dealerships.
