Going in for my fuel pumps recall on the 2020 RX this week... had it in shop for 10 days (4X) so far in 3500 miles of use. Between the 2008 IS350, 2015 RX, 2016 RC-F, and 2020 RX - I've had over 12 weeks of "loaner driving" in the past 10 years. To be fair... no Toyota has ever left me...

True... and compared to the spontaneous combustion recently plaguing some of the Korean models - I'll take fuel pumps, airbags, headlights, window motors, etc. failing any day! :eek: My biggest complaints with the more recent Toyota's I've owned centers around the transmissions and...

It's funny because after having my hands full of Toyotas... with almost nothing but problems - I've found my Bimmeryota to be a refreshing change. Don't get me wrong, my 4Runner is bulletproof and never needs anything. But the last 4 Lexus models (including the new one) are full of flaws and...

I won't be selling my MKV to get one... but I will be getting one. Not a fan of the exterior and based on a long experience with both Nissan Z's and Infiniti G's.... those seats are most likely going to really suck after an hour of driving. Although the interior does look to be a few steps...

I've zero track days on mine... ;) but after reading a few too many oil consumption posts and comments elsewhere I figured I should check mine since I'm close to my next change (~6.5K miles since last change) and oil is right at the top line still. I'd definitely expect more loss under heavy...

Yep. I have that one off and on all the time. Only happens on rougher surfaces in sport mode... usually after I've been driving for awhile, but occasionally right after leaving home. It goes away long enough that I haven't bothered taking everything apart to find out what needs another zip...

That's the sound it makes when you were using the car correctly during the previous drive. If you never got it up to temperature and/or drove it like a grandma... it would pop much less (and be utterly pointless). Mine's done it every one of the 350+ days I've driven it. ;) ... it will get a...

I'll be there in a few months... well hopefully not the failure part. I couldn't agree more. Part of the reason I picked the MKV over something more "exotic" was not to have to worry about the depreciation from constant use. These will depreciate no matter what you have on them for the most...

Good grief... pretty soon Dom is going to be fighting over Medicare benefits (if the whole series isn't cancelled as "environmental terrorism propaganda" that is). I guess if they're all driving/crashing EV models then it would get a pass however. I'm still going to watch it eventually I'm...

It doesn't hurt anything that you got the best color too. ;) Of course I'm totally biased.

Well more weight could help... but that's going in the wrong direction. Definitely the tires are a bit weak IMO, but aren't completely horrible. I think with suspension improvements many of the shortcomings would mostly disappear - it just loads so unpredictably (at least as far as mine...

Well, definitely traction is a huge part of the issue... and the suspension is another major factor (I need to get the horrible factory alignment fixed). Even under 3/4 throttle in sport mode it's pretty much just a sloppy drift machine right now (it lifts rather than squats). So part of this...

Wound up behind my neighbor the other day getting on the freeway. Not that I was really trying... but nope, couldn't catch him. Biggest issue on my side however was traction (the lack of it), but it was still fun to watch ~5000 lbs move that fast. :oops: Ah the joys of AWD and almost 600...

Just ticked past 13K miles on mine. A few days after her first birthday! I think there were a few days not driven, but I'm sure at least 350 days were enjoyed in the past year. :thumbsup:

In that particular case, I would side with @Dannyvandelft and say it was working correctly as described in the manual (though being limited to just 1200 RPM or so would still be a 'bug' IMO). On a warmed up car, or one in gear at any temperature, it is definitely NOT as described, and...

Wow... should sound fantastic! I think for myself I'll deal with a much less complete (and less expensive) solution. At ~$12K all-in that's a bit more than half-way to just buying a pair of Salon 2's for my living room... where it's more acoustically neutral, and far more enjoyable to listen...

Exactly. Even when I was being deliberately stupid... I never had to use more than about 3/4" of pedal travel to see the tach hit levels I was already uncomfortable with on a cold engine. I have no doubt whatsoever that had I floored it any of those times I'd have been well over 6K - if not...

While not cheap, I'd gladly drop $1500-2000 if the difference was significant and the options down the road were plentiful. That said, if it was even more, but I could easily trade my doors for ones with 6.5's and no useless pockets that don't hold anything anyway... then the budget could...

To expand on what @ArthurWick linked... the real issue here (in addition to the obvious ones) is the fact that it is not a consistent behavior amongst all MKV units produced. I've never experienced the problem at all... even in a couple tests where I pretended to be 18 and revved my engine to...

@Dannyvandelft I find it difficult to believe you are naturally as thick as you seem to be... although I'm sure it's possible. Seems too obtuse to be real. Question: What do you think they meant by "the full drive power"... 1K RPM only? Because it will stall much below that and won't even...
