Exterior: The car has a streamlined and very attractive design — at least for now, I find it especially good-looking. The front end looks bold and commanding. I chose the Titanium Silver color because it doesn’t show dirt easily, haha. My old car would go months without a wash, and I plan the same with the new one, even if it’s a Lexus. Interior: I picked the Tea Platinum Brown color with perforated seats — fits my aesthetic perfectly. The door panels, dashboard, and center console are all covered in soft-touch materials. Compared to my old Volkswagen, this feels way more premium. Space: With a 2870 mm wheelbase, it’s standard — not particularly spacious, but not cramped either. My friend’s S90 has a rear seat that truly feels large. I used to drive an SUV, and in a sedan, moving between seats is definitely less convenient. Features: Can’t compete with EVs in terms of tech, but compared to the German "34C" segment, this car is very well-equipped: electric seats with heating and ventilation, L2 driver assistance, remote engine start and climate control, voice recognition, full keyless entry, and best of all — a single-panel sunroof, which is really nice! Performance: Yep, I was mentally prepared. It’s slow on takeoff, and the acceleration is weak. Especially when starting off — if you press the pedal hard, the engine gets noticeably loud. Once you're cruising, though, it feels much better. Fuel Consumption: I drive 50 km daily, mostly on elevated roads. After 500 km so far, the average fuel consumption shows 7.3 L/100 km. I’m confident with my smooth driving style I’ll get that number even lower.

First impressions – the car’s design is really sleek and stylish. The front end looks bold and confident. I chose the titanium silver color because it hides dirt well. Same as with my old car — I don't wash it too often, maybe every few months. Even though it's a Lexus, my habits won't change! Interior: I went with the brown perforated leather, and honestly, it matches my taste perfectly. The doors, dashboard, and center console are all wrapped in soft-touch materials. Compared to my old Volkswagen, this feels way more premium. Space: With a wheelbase of around 2870mm, the space is average. It's not cramped, but it's not huge either — definitely smaller than a Volvo S90 in the back. I used to drive an SUV, so moving around inside a sedan feels a bit less convenient. Features: While it can’t compete with electric cars in terms of tech, it’s well-equipped compared to German rivals like BMW, Audi, and Mercedes. You get power seats, seat ventilation and heating, L2 driver assistance, remote start for the A/C, voice control, keyless entry for all doors, and a panoramic sunroof — love that feature the most! Performance: I was mentally prepared — it's not a sporty car. Acceleration is slow at the start, and if you press hard on the gas, the engine does get a bit noisy. But once you're up to speed, the ride becomes smooth and comfortable. Fuel economy: I've driven about 500 km so far, mostly on highways, and I’m getting around 7.3 L/100km. With my “golden foot” driving style, I think I can squeeze out even better fuel efficiency later on.
