I used to have a Saab 9-5 Aero which was a fully fledged member of torque steer city!  I agree that when you have owned a car like that then the Lexus torque steer is really not that bad.

My only other experience with TS was a hire car many years ago... Ford Sierra or Mondeo (can't remember which) had a large engine for its day, and I remember thinking "what the heck was that?" Funny thing is that the Vauxhall of similar spec I had a couple of weeks later was perfectly well behaved.

Personally, given a choice between oversteer and TS, I prefer to have oversteer, but since so many cars are now front wheel drive, I guess I just have to put up with it, unless I go back to a BMW or Porsche!

I intend keeping the RX for a good long while, so it's good that I've got used to it.
