I've driven both the F-sport and the premium versions (called "Privilege", "Takumi" or "President" depending on where you live) and in my opinion, the suspension package doesn't add all that much. It's not a sports car and never will be. You have this car which is supremely quiet, so why drive it like you're on a race track? I also found the seats in the F sport to be less comfortable.

Naturally aspirated is the best in may opinion.
Lexus is a very reliable car to have as a daily drive.
Thanks for watching.
I love this company my dream car lexus 570
Nice! It is reachable honestly! Good luck!
Great review! Thank you for all the details!
Glad we can help!! Thanks for the support!

I hear ya on that. When I think Lexus I think Luxury and comfort.
It was the same in 2022. What is new ?
Nothing.
What is the brand for the speaker?
You are able to have 1 of 2 options on the speakers. Standard 10 speaker option or an optional 17speaker upgrade (mark levinson)
@@VagabondBuilds That's for models like the NX 350. There is no Mark Levinson option for the 450h+ unfortunately
@@capnzilog correct, they say they can't fit the Mark Levinson sound system in due to the space the hybrid parts take up.
Sad about the Boring small looks in=side Black interior Should have had the Circut Red with Black inserts!!!
You just like a different look on interior I see. Haha you have taste!
@@VagabondBuilds Black make EVERYTHING LQQK Smaler on a already small interior so it is BOT just color but overall feeling!
No spare tire since they’re run flats
Awesome! Thanks for the comment and heads up!
and $350 each ;)
Trash car look like a cheap cherry
Cheap cherry? Ummmm… I think Toyota is a pretty good manufacturer
Its a hybrid not a fully electric vehicle.
Thank you 🙏
