Default ROLL CALL: GTA / ONTARIO (new)

Decided we renovate the roll call thread since it's a dud and no one seems to want to do anything about it.
I've seen and I'm following a number of you on instagram, heck our cars are sick!
My buddy has a whatsApp going for over 150 Audi members and it's cool as eff...
We should be doing the same thing; have meets, go for strolls... etc.

Spring and summer is just around the corner, ladies and gentlemen, let's get this going.

Give me a shout if you're interested... add me on What'sApp (I'm new to this thing so bare with me)

Nabula Grey IS250 AWD F Sport in Markham.

Not going to do the whats app thing but wanted to drop in as local chats about where to take cars for service, which GTA dealership is best for service would be sweet.

The guys over at "Lexus On The Park" take really good care of me.
Leslie and Eglinton, if I remember correctly.

I had a battery drain issue with my car, took it to DVN Lexus, they had my car for 1/2 the day but couldn't replicate the code. They didn't change my battery or do anything. The next time it happens, I am going to have it towed there.

Hopefully they didn't charge you for not giving you proper service......
Brutal.

Nope. I had an issue with my USB not reading after I shut off the car. Instead of trying a different USB key, they said they couldn't troubleshoot the problem. I bought a new USB key and now everything works.

It seems like they have a lot of volume and don't really look into anything that can't be fix superficially.

And no, they didn't charge me.

By the way, what are you averaging per 100 kms? I am not heavy foot but I am only getting 12.x L / per 100 on average. (mostly Markham driving)

I see. I am light foot most days. I am used to getting excellent fuel economy from my 2002 Civic. When I see my gf's Fiat's fuel economy, I laugh.

I think I should get better efficiently once I hit the hwys more often.

I bought this car last month used. I am about to hit 30,000km. Its soooo night and day from my Civic. LOL

I hear ya.
There are pros and cons to the Is250/350.
I'm just lucky the company I work for pays for my gas+ETR usage lol so I'm not going to complain about gas mileage.

That and to sit in front of the computer to chat about cars on forums! LOL

If I do visit clients, its paid for but its far and between.

I have a 250 so I don't even try to go fast because its slow. I am happy with it as a daily. I am not in a hurry to get from 0-60 anyway. I have F3 so its very nice.

Is your chrome in the front blacked out? What did you use?

I don't know how you guys all have terrible economy but I averaged 10.2L/100km on my last tank.

If i put it on cruise control I get this:

I don't have that setting to check it "after refuel".
I ain't even mad :P
But that's pretty sick. Wish I could drive 120km/h and throw it into neutral all the way home.
