    speed limiter is more of a gimmick. The best type of cruise control is adaptive cruise control, which will break the car when necessary, like when you have a slower moving vehicle in front of you and will keep a certain distance. Anything less and is one of the most dangerous feature a car can have.

    This is the Essential trim level which in the entry level into the Duster. There are four trim levels Essential, Expression, Journey, Extreme. If you move up to the next trim you get electric windows all round, alloy wheels and a infotainment system. The Exreme is a pretty high spec given it starts at around £22k up to £25k depending on engine and 4x4 or 2x4. Great cars i have had mine in the UK for 2 years now and has been perfect and being the Journey spec has everything i need in a car. Check out the Duster 3 a great looking car.

    Such a shame Lexus listened to the idiots and destroyed such a beautiful interior with that fake iPad media screen. The built in screen looked incredibly well integrated before. This looks like an afterthought on a sub $20k car. You are meant to be looking out of the windscreen not fiddling with media while driving so why make it easier to get distracted with stupid touch screens. There needs to be a law against using them while driving.

I want to trade my 21 in on the last model year and I don’t know if I can do it because of this nonsense.

    I own an IS500 and was given the opportunity to test drive an LC500 from my dealer....sorry guys there is no comparison. The LC500 on paper is not the fastest car in the world, but the driving experience cannot be explained. This machine is literally a unicorn. No matter how you drive it, you will smile at least, and laugh daily. Literally the perfect street car. Win on the track, nah...probably not...stop light to stop light....likely but not guaranteed....driver satisfaction..I've never driven a vehicle that I have wanted this much.

    @@jsonli I’ve driven a lot of cars on this road from Miata’s to GT3’s and the LC is top 5 best driving experiences I’ve had. Sure it’s not the fastest but the overall driving experience is just amazing. Steering feel is a bit numb. the LC belongs to my dad and he’s a big car enthusiast and he believes the car is very soft. However, I do believe this has more steering feel than any bmw F8X I’ve driven. My GT4 has more feel through and through. This car is a 2024 with dynamic handling package, so it has the RWS. I’ve driven one without RWS and it makes a HUGE difference. The LC is still a big and heavy car but with the RWS it feels more nimble; I akin it to a hippo wearing ballerina shoes 😂. As an overall car with the comfort and leather and performance it’s an amazing package, but it’s not as sporty as a Porsche if that’s what you’re looking for. Thanks for watching!

    @@gentianmedia3814 Exactly, the IS500 is a comfort sedan with some hidden sportiness that will poke it's head out when asked...also very tail happy. I've learned to live with the flashing traction control light at every stop....unless I turn off traction control at which point it is extremely happy to lay double black lines to 100+feet. The LC is more planted, firmer and sportier in all sections but not the harsh true sports car. It literally is the definition of GT coupe (Grand Touring). More then enough power and speed to get some chrome plated bracelets...but a touch of class that cannot be explained. Honestly my dream car since I was a kid was the Porsche 911....but it has been replaced by the LC. Maybe it's because I am old...and appreciate the refinement over the pure sports mindedness of other cars. If you're looking for a street racer..this aint it.

    I have the LC 21' with the old infotainment system. I enabled 'climate concierge' and in the 1.5 years of ownership never had to go into the climate menu to fiddle with anything. Only used the temperature rocker switch occasionally. I think the whole issue is overblown. The 24' model improved it with a touch screen, but older models are fine.

Also, the climate control UI screen is also different layer from the heated/ventilated seat and heated steering wheel screen. I’m aware there’s a heated/ventilated seat bottom under the aluminum volume knob near the gear shift, but after pressing that button I need to also touch the screen to adjust my settings vs. the traditional Lexus Heated/Ventilated seat buttons.

I just drove it in one gear for 5 min then it resolved. That’s the only issue I had with the car.

    I have a 2021 turbo hatch (thankfully bought before the chip shortage thing fully kicked in so I got a good deal) and I'm the opposite when it comes to self steering. Being in the computer software industry I know software can have glitches (we all know this) as well as electronics. Combine those two things with a bit of age on the car and how long will it be before people are driving their car on 2 lane (coming and going) back road and the car suddenly veers into oncoming traffic without any driver input? I feel the same about automatic emergency braking. I haven't had any issues yet but a number of people (not just Mazda) have reported their car slamming on the brakes for no reason. No thank you to that...when it comes to steering and brakes I'd rather be in control. Overall I have very few complaints about this car, and the ones I do have are things I was aware of before purchase. I'm 6'1" and have to carefully duck my head getting in, and no fully grown person can sit behind my drivers seat😂
