Very true. I had a Merc and the ADAS was stupid and needed to be switched off everytime I started the car. Sold it in 8 months after ADAS got me into a few scary situations and I was lucky not to have anyone behind me. Got the Audi Q5 and it is peaceful.
ADAS should be made an optional feature, as should the sunroof !! Why should I, the "consumer" be paying for useless things that are not needed ?
@@realtimequickie thanks for the comment. I suppose that in case of lexuses being overengeineered, basically what it means is that they last for donkeys of years. Just like some of the toyotas.
Great discussion, brutally honest!
Time stamp 20:15. From a Lexus owner's perspective, been with the brand since 4.5 years now. I never found them over-engineered. Way simpler to maintain than any european counterpart for that matter in my personal experience. Atleast until the 2021 generation of products where the bulletproof 3.5 V6 & 5.7 V8 could be found across Toyota & Lexus products in different states of tuning. Can't comment on the diesel powered products as those aren't offered in the continent I'm in currently. I can absolutely attest to the fatigueless driving comfort over thousands of kilometers driven over my time with the brand.
Please find some time to explain "over-engineered" from your perspective.
Time stamp 25:44 :D :D VW crying in a corner
Quick anecdote, was warned against ever getting a Volvo outside the warranty by a seasoned mechanic. Reliability becomes an issue specially on the XC90 outside warranty. Both from engine & electronics perspective. Linking something for reference - czcams.com/video/7z_RSz64LC0/video.htmlsi=1Gzzga0zKiedteSq Time Stamp 6:40 onwards.
To be very honest, in this auto industry only Faisal Khan, Gagan Choudary and ICN Studio says truth about every car. May be i miss some other CZcamsrs too but yeah there are very few.
Nope. Only Gagan. The other two are the BIGGEST NOOBS of our world with zero technical knowledge.
7:31 sirish chandra,cyrus dhabar 🤣
Amazing interview 🫡. So daring & honest.
All other points were excellent but not the real leather one. There are polymers that can outlast real leather easily. I don't want skin two cows to sit it. It's disgusting.
True story the cars are being sold on publicity not by quality

There is no ethics in auto journalism...pure PR for OEMs
Most auto reviewers and auto journalists are extremely biased and have no idea about the brand they are reviewing and have no idea about automobile technology.
I personally own a rubicon and I am suffering with their poor after sales service and horribly expensive spares and repair costs and many other problems JEEP is the most unreliable brand in India. And you guys have the same car behind you and talking about Indian automotive industry 😂
@srikesh9 I'm still confused buddy, as to what exactly is the point you are trying to make. Can u please simplify it for me?
Crap boring video. Adas is new tech and people need to learn it. India does not have a structured licensing process and most of the people are not up to date with all the new stuff. Does not mean people with knowledge on how to use new tech should not get it.
Not all roads are good and the traffic management is crap in India. Roads are nothing close to fabulous.
Mostly, all of the reviewers are paid and they do not focus on the main things which make owning and driving a car better. Their reviews are crap just like this non sense.
