Lexus LX 470

I ask the readers - like-minded people to be complacent in my reasoning - do not judge strictly!Adjusted fuel consumption (please remember, that is 4-station automatic): In the summer PETROL highway / city - 18/24, GAS - 19,5 / 25. On the track at a speed of 120-140, 140-160 - gas already 22! City - one million, with traffic jams.In early November, made regular and seasonal MOT: replacing rubber - set winter Velcro DUNLOP, checked the spark - the rules! Although passed 30 000 km! replaced oil 6,5 l of 8 liters (take 2 cans Shell 5W40, 1 cun at 1050 rubles, the filter oil at 250 USD, an air filter (changed every 20 000 km) to 300 rubles. Must shpritsovka cardanic (each MOT-2 -- through 9 - 10 tkm) - myself, because what he saw as trying to shalyavit the service station. And, in general, standing nearby, although servismeny this oh-how do not like! "But, after my previous car Nissan presage 1999 . in. almost flew off the wheels after visiting the station on replacing brake pads on a circle - I'm always with the car in rem zone, and let me say something!. is not verified, not verified, but they have not tightened the wheel nuts. This trouble I have found over 1500 km from home, nuts swirled his hands - well, wheels have not yet tapped! came - said they were perplexed, I have already blown the good, because it took almost 3 weeks!
Increasingly I think about installing the Absolute. With this device will add TV (antenna Bosch 1-pin.) By changing the step radio, and will be even and odd-wave stations, antenna, Bosch, besides this, there is a GSM antenna for hundreds of phones. Accommodate the extra DVD with USB (for watching movies and listening to music with a stick), found a place - sacrifice ashtray (the more so because I do not smoke) and a cigarette lighter - the most wonderful place for the second DVD! There will be additional video inputs - for rear view camera and still be able to signal from the GPS-receiver to send staff to monitor! It is necessary to find a place in the walkie-talkie; wave AM15S on the track is very helpful! Already tried!
Wanted to add on edge about the ubiquitous theme about the operation of gas.I tried to drive after the gas at 92 - is not coming! Tried by 95 - even worse. Tucked 98 - SUPER! And, indeed: on octane number (for gas - 102-108) for the gas coming only 98, with OA = 98. But, sorry, its price - 26 rubles! Gas is now in Omsk you can refuel 9-50. Those who like to check my puzzles: I plan for the year to get 50 000 km, cf. = 24l/100km consumption of gasoline, gas = 25.

Lexus Cars

Lexus Cars rightly called the best creation of Toyota, which combines luxury, excellence and technical achievement, and work on the creation of this machine was carried out very carefully for many years. If you consider the Lexus in terms of security of lives, he did out of competition.So, if you currently want to buy really perfect car, be sure to turn your attention to the Lexus. So, what distinguishes us from many other car in terms of reliability? First of all, it should be noted that when buying this machine, you get: all-wheel drive with locking differential on all four wheels and the evolution of car safety, such as: exchange rate stability, the system comfortable braking system protivoskolzheniya (protivoprobuksovki), anti-lock braking system cruise control, I think, now you understood why this car is practically never enters a particularly dangerous bend in the road. Now a few words about the appearance of this machine: There was just that, and the elegance of all the lines that give the image of completeness: guess intriguing grace, strength and comfort, while grace is fully compatible with the highest level of comfort and reliability.Now a few words about the car's interior design: first of all, you have to appreciate its elegance and simplicity with wooden inserts and color, deserve special attention with heated seats, while, the salon is equipped with airbags, which are located around the entire interior (front, side, rear and top), to minimize the risk of injury in the accident. A few words about the advantages of such an arrangement of airbags: frontal collision at the feet of front passengers can traumatize on dashboard and steering column, it had been provided knee airbags, in addition, they restrict the movement of the body in the collision, which reduces the likelihood of injuries of the head and torso . Those who once traveled in these cars will be able to confirm how quietly in their showrooms, as well as the silence with which they go on the road, and there are quite a logical explanation: the streamlined podkuzovnye panels improve aerodynamic efficiency, which makes the car faster, more economical and certainly more quiet. Lexus cars are focused on a certain class of customers: affluent and demanding, a very respectable appearance. The machine turns match for their owners: it is equipped with a richer, and appears to us more reliable and quality manufacture than many rivals from the premium, in addition, it is worth noting the high security settings, and comfort, which in turn is achieved using the most advanced technologies. Let the number of statistics: for example, 1993 ... he was very productive for the company, as sales volume Lexus Cars has overtaken the United States of its German rivals - BMW and Mercedes-Benz, but very close, fresh in memory, 2006 ... sales of 475 thousand ea. that allowed to say that the three most popular models of prestigious brands in the U.S. market include Lexus RX crossover and sedan Lexus IS (in the U.S. - ES), at the same time, we can speak with confidence about the growth of sales, which amounted to approximately 76 , 3%, reaching 39 200 vehicles. But if we consider the sale of the avtomombilya directly in Russia, we can say that Lexus has outstripped all competitors from Germany: four-wheel drive Lexus RX acquired 5 304 people, and he became a best-selling in its segment. So, make such a small record: speaking of Lexus, we mean a division of Toyota, producing luxury models for the U.S. market and Europe, and, just to the left wheel. Pay attention to the very name brand machines, saying his people had once implied word luxury or luxury, luxury cars. Believe me, nothing unusual in that not tons, because initially, when the company was still very young, its main purpose was the release of a luxury car, luxury, luxurious, beautiful, and it remains a priority for the company for many years. It is worth noting that the idea is not glittering novelty as to when the BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, but it does not become a problem for the Lexus, and in August 1983 was held a secret meeting of the board of directors of the corporation Toyota. That it was made chairman Eiji Toyoda (Eiji Toyoda), to his speech was the presentation of ideas, which essentially boils down to something here: challenge the best cars of the world, and nobody was bothered, because Toyota has stood firmly on his feet as the world known manufacturer of reliable, affordable, quality vehicles. Now, the question arose that all produced before the company brand was, as we have said: inexpensive and good quality, but you had something new: a luxurious and prestigious. This is a new brand - Lexus Cars

Developing Lexus IS F

Engineers Lexus, developing new IS F, aspired to reach phenomenal indicators on high speed at the expense of the whole package of the advanced technical decisions which have passed test on a track. The result is obvious, even when the car is in an absolute rest. Excellent aerodynamics which reduces resistance of an air stream to a minimum, allows to develop track speed to 270 km/hour. That the car as much as possible nestled on a road covering, from composit materials – as on "Formuly-1" – create the rarefied space under a body, effectively raising clamping force and coupling with road.

In 2001 have let out version SportCross with a body the versatile person. The name says that it not angular "shed" in which all is subordinated to one – to provide a maximum of a place for cargo. For Lexus such type of a body is faster a craze on universality.

And in a marching condition the luggage carrier even on 60 l is less, than at a sedan. As a whole Lexus IS 200 SportCross looks aggressively, dynamically and promptly. Any rotundities, only рубленые sides. On a cowl and short forward свес – «ис the two-100-th» reminds wide impudently protruding wings, a hump of the predator who has dropped to forepaws who has prepared for a jump. He is ready to attack, and first of all – versatile persons of "the big German three»: BMW 320i Touring, Mercedes With 200 Т and Audi А4 2.0 Avant, and also "Italian" Alfa Romeo 156 2.0 Sportwagon. Then enough to replace simulating air inlets plastic inserts in bumpers with the chromeplated grids-grills and to put wheels diameter (provided for this version 215/45 R17 or 225/45 R17 from IS 300). Even it is not necessary to change an exhaust pipe. The chromeplated nozzle of the big diameter which are looking out from under a back bumper, very much reminds ! And under a cowl already there is a final system "three-two-one" (as on sports or motors) – in it each three of collectors converges in the pipe which only then incorporate in the general.
