Toyota 12th gen Excel 2l HB 2023

[Louie]

Has anybody got  any experience owning/driving the Toyota 12th gen Excel 2l HB 2023  as i am about to part company with a GR2 Sports 2l Hybrid Corolla as the lease is about to run out on it. 

I am going for the Excel simply because of the spec and very importantly it has the HUD which Toyota no longer fit on the latest GR2 sports. 

I understand that some of the alarms/warning sound features can be a bit annoying such as lane departure and apparently you cant turn that off permanently etc. Features like

internal lighting on my current vehicle were very irritating as they more or less went off immediately you shut the door and i had to buy a dongle that fitted into the car's analytical socket

which altered the timings to suit me. 

Any general hints or tips would be gratefully accepted.

I absolutely love my 2.0 TS Excel. Even on the 18’’ wheels the car is so smooth - the new gen system is much more quieter , more refined. The 2.0L engine is fun to drive , but at the same time it still gives you great fuel consumption.

Toyota upped their game when it comes to interior - the leather seats , especially the front sport seats are super comfortable - dash , doors all nice materials.

The upgraded screen , software are in line with the competition. 

Amazing headlights on Excel , Adaptive Cruise Control works very well ….
