Picked it up from Lexus Sheffield and drove it home to Manchester. My observations (I was comparing it to my BMW 523i)....

Steering much lighter and ride bouncier, feels much quicker.
Wind noise around the windows is louder when cruising.
I was worried about the mpg and was averaging 24mpg on the run until I realised I was drove the car 3/4 of the way home in 4th gear !
There's an electric hum to the rear which is a bit off-putting but I'll get used to it.
Rattles are minimal (a couple here and there) but the car is generally extremely quiet.
The sat nav is awesome and all the different screen modes are bewildering. It's like a bloody space shuttle at night !
One thing I'd like to change already is the ability to change from sat nav to trip computer mid drive. It only lets you do it if you are stopped at lights.

The Lexus valetting isn't up to my standards so I spent 2 hours on it tonight polishing every single button on the damn thing.

The last observation is that the car looks magnificent and already has turned heads !

What a motor ! msn-wink.gif

think the electric hum is the fuel pump.. migh be wrong

The wind noise is those mirrors... lousy loud mirrors!
