So after months of questions and just "thinking about it," I finally got my new to me '24 LX 600 F-Sport last weekend, and so far I love it! I originally wanted to go with Manganese Luster or Nori Green, but I found a deal that was too good to pass up, and went with Atomic Silver, but when I saw it in person, I fell in love with the color. I love how it looks different in different light. So far I would say I'm 97% happy with everything. I love the way it drives, the seats are probably the most comfortable car seats I've ever sat in, and the power is great. My only real, but minor complaints are, I don't love the infotainment system. I think the ML stereo sounds really good, but I don't love the menu system. It's not horrible, it just seems a bit "fumbly." I've never been a fan of how CarPlay makes you leave the CarPlay screen if you want to go back into the audio menu, but that's more of a CarPlay issue and not Lexus...it's actually easier to deal with than my wife's Mercedes believe it or not.
My only other complaint is that I get a lot of wind noise coming from the sunroof, or at least a noticeable amount more than in my 200 (which I ended up keeping, so double win for me, ha ha). I did hear it during the test drive, and it's not crazy loud by any means, but it is noticeable. Has anyone else noticed it too? I did notice it on another LX I test drove, so I don't know if it's just normal, or if there's an issue with the weather sealing. I'll probably check with the dealer when I bring it in.
Other than that, the only thing left to do is wheels and tires, which I'm sure I'll have questions about. I pretty much became an expert at sizing for the 200's, but the AHC is new to me, and I don't plan on going too crazy with the wheels, so I'm sure I'll be asking about that. I really like the Vossen (yes, I know, so many people go with Vossens) HFX-1 in Gunmetal Grey, or the HF6-4. I'd like to go with a 285/60/20, but I'm not sure how much that will rub, so I'll probably go with a 275/60/20. I've been reading through the wheels and tires post, but still not sure. Anyway, that's my write up for now. Thanks for all the advice.
