Thank you Justin. Are you an existing Lexus owner? I wonder if the dealers are more prepared to offer something to existing owners? I really need to decide this weekend as I understand the list price goes up on Monday (21st Feb) 😒.

I'm new to Lexus, but went for a test drive of a 350h Takumi in the week. Overall I was very impressed, but I found the fidgety ride and understeer on wet roundabouts a concern. I've owned BMW's with RFT before and I strongly suspect that the tyres are the culprit, but the dealer told me that RFT were the only option as they couldn't fit a space saver spare. It seems that only the FSport has adaptive dampers, which I find a bit strange? Has anybody had the dealer swop the tyres before delivery (perhaps with a can of 'gunk' in the boot) or swapped them post delivery and can comment on the ride and road holding? They weren't prepared to offer any sort of discount on the car, so the cost of any new tyres and the risk of them not improving the ride, would clearly be down to me. All comments welcome and TIA.
