That sounds a lovely way to eat up the miles and take any stress out of a journey. I remember driving my 7 Series from the mountains outside Malaga to Poitiers in a day and in time for supper. Effortless.

Try to get a go in it before he gets rid of it and let us know what you think. I haven't seen one in the flesh yet and am in 2 minds about the design, I prefer the look of the Ioniq 5.

There is one way around it - to buy a non-hybrid IS200t or GS 250t model but I'm not sure if they were available in the OP's year-range.

They hurt my eyes… Ugly on the outside, back to the 90’s on the inside. No, no, no.
Has anyone driven a GTE or C350e?

In true PFM style, it would be remiss of us to recommend something not on your list, have you considered a Hyundai i30N Fastback?
They're rapid, drive extremely well, reliable and a lot cheaper than the German models. The 5-year Hyundai warranty is also one of the best out there.

Check out charging facilities on your regular trips first, daughter in London found three out of order on Sunday; she's contemplating getting rid.

I really don't like the looks of that car too. Most Asian cars are just ugly as hell. I did see the new Tucson this summer (also available as PIH) and that looks good. But new so not in my budget. Sorry guys, I really don't consider cars other than Audi/BMW/MB/Volkswagen/Volvo. Either because they are too ugly, or because they are (still) too expensive (for example Tesla and Jaguar).

No, but I do when I have to take left or right turns to avoid areas that are blocked by them or where there is traffic chaos.
While I was behind the police X5 he will have made perhaps a dozen left or right turns and maybe half a dozen lane changes with not a single indication. He also stopped in and advanced cycle stop area at traffic lights once and in a box junction once while going straight on. Was a lovely example for a traffic cop to set for the rest of us...

Very true. I think it's been because they've been trying to make them look like BMW's.

Sounds like it could’ve been a civilian driver taking the car for some reason.
