I only collected my Lexus yesterday but compared to a Saab the turbo lag is nothing and build quality is superb.
The gearing is on the tall side, warranted, but the cabin is so much quieter it's silly.
Methinks some of the rattles people complain about are because they've been spoilt by silence...
hearing pin drops can be a curse?!
Later that same night;
Having read the rest of the posts I am convinced there are a few "Jessies" on here.
Seriously, 6th gear is meant for the motorway, not for Tesco parking lots or b roads. You need to be doing 70 to make it work.
There is enough torque to maintain your speed in cruise control on the motorway uphill or downhill.
That "slight rattle" is probably something your misses left in the ash tray to p!ss you off, like a 5p coin or a small makeup accessory. Again, compared to a Saab, this is silence.
