What was the deciding factors?
She hates driving with sales people in the car. So, until we get it narrowed down, she refuses to drive. Once we knew it was the LC250 or the 4Runner, I had her test drive both back to back. Here were her thoughts, as wild as they may sound. LOL

LC 250: Pros: She felt like the leather interior felt better than the Softex and really like the heated and cooled rear seats for our daughter. She liked the acceleration and thought it felt bigger on the inside. Before she drove it, she felt like it would "feel" big in the road like her 2009 LC did. Cons: Doesn't look as sporty as 4Runner. Doesn't have the largest infotainment screen. She kept referring to the infotainment buttons as piano keys, somehow in a negative way (IDK).

4Runner: Pros: Looks sporty and has a massive infotainment screen. Seriously, that were the only 2 things she liked over the LC. Cons: She originally thought it looked smaller, so it should drive smaller than the LC250, but it didn't. Didn't seem to have the same accelerations and handling the LC did. The way the interior is laid out made it feel very "tight" inside the cabin (like a cockpit) and the backseat legroom felt very cramped.

In the end, she just felt the LC drove better, performed better, and had more creature comforts.
 
Yep
I play piano all the time here 😂 I call it the same. Yep LC250 feels nimble and inspires confidence
All the dealers here let me test drive alone.
Try out the tow mode and sport mode

Congrats and enjoy
