    Great video Sammy. Lexus must have received the similar feedback about "no power passenger seat". My 2019 CT does come with powered passenger seat.

    I changed the stock 17 inch (215/45/17 offset 45) to Corolla 2021 205/55/16 offset 40). The ride is now superb

      Hey man, that's really good to know! Thanks for commenting. I'll definitely consider a smaller wheel and the new Corolla wheels actually look pretty good!

      what year is yours? I heard from 2014 model the suspension changed and make it more plush, definately putting the smaller wheels on it would make a good difference. To be honest I love the look of the bigger wheels, but i love ride comfort more and handling doesn't phase me unless it's really bad!

      @@aussiebatler mine is a 2012 year model. I’m also of the same mind, I love the look of a larger wheel, even 18s would be nice (mine are stock 17s) but I don’t want anything firmer than it already is!

      Hi Sammy, we just took ownership of a 2018 F Sport with 17,000kms , I drove it from Picton to ChCh today. It's in the same colour as yours. Very pleased with the way it drives

    Avoid aftermarket headlights 100%. Unless you want burnt out body computers.

      Hey bro - the supplier is CAR-ACT. I have started to sell the bumpers here in New Zealand because I’ve bought a few of them for a number of my Lexus cars and have had nothing but great service from them.

    It's confusing. You bash the car one minute then praise it another minute and it's like you are not sure.

    • @sammygoris
      @sammygoris  Před rokem +5

      I think I expressed some disappointments, but I wouldn't call it 'bashing' the car. The idea is that there are pros and cons - I'm not biased to loving every aspect or hating every aspect of the car. And as a viewer, you've got to decide for yourself whether those pros or cons matter to you. Overall, despite a few cons with the features in the interior, it is a good car that's done what we've wanted it to do: be a nice premium everyday commuter car that hasn't skipped a beat.

    You lost me at "I hate that there's no power passenger seat." Hate? Pretty strong word for that. Get real.

    • @sammygoris
      @sammygoris  Před rokem +8

      If I complained that it didn't have massaging seats, then I would agree with you.
      But if you know anything about cars, you'd know that in this situation, powered seats are a completely reasonable thing to complain about. No other Lexus has ever come with manual seats. It's not consistent with their brand and product. It's a 2012 car not a 1990s car. It is not a sophisticated and expensive piece of technology. And the fact that in a trim level they offer power controls for the driver but not the passenger is crazy.
      I think your comment (incl. 'get real') seems to be a pretty strong comment for such a small comment made in an owner's review video which is all about an owner's personal opinion on a car.😆
