Great video Sammy. Lexus must have received the similar feedback about "no power passenger seat". My 2019 CT does come with powered passenger seat.

I changed the stock 17 inch (215/45/17 offset 45) to Corolla 2021 205/55/16 offset 40). The ride is now superb

[@sammygoris]

Hey man, that's really good to know! Thanks for commenting. I'll definitely consider a smaller wheel and the new Corolla wheels actually look pretty good!

[@MacLee909]

Great Idea 💡

[@aussiebatler]

what year is yours? I heard from 2014 model the suspension changed and make it more plush, definately putting the smaller wheels on it would make a good difference. To be honest I love the look of the bigger wheels, but i love ride comfort more and handling doesn't phase me unless it's really bad!

[@sammygoris]

@@aussiebatler mine is a 2012 year model. I’m also of the same mind, I love the look of a larger wheel, even 18s would be nice (mine are stock 17s) but I don’t want anything firmer than it already is!

Hi Sammy, we just took ownership of a 2018 F Sport with 17,000kms , I drove it from Picton to ChCh today. It's in the same colour as yours. Very pleased with the way it drives

[@AutoHeadz]

Great video as always. What editing/software do you use for your thumbnails? Beautiful!

[@sammygoris]

Thanks man, cheers for the comment! I just use Adobe Photoshop for the thumbnails.

[@AutoHeadz]

@@sammygoris Thanks for the reply. Great content. Take care.

How much tyre air need to on tyres I bought it ct recently and I have tyre pressure light coming up. I actually had 26 on all tyres so I filled it up to 30 on each tyres. The car has big alloys. Let me know thanks.

Good video

What's the name of the bumper supplier from China?

[@sammygoris]

Hey bro - the supplier is CAR-ACT. I have started to sell the bumpers here in New Zealand because I’ve bought a few of them for a number of my Lexus cars and have had nothing but great service from them.

[@mikequizon8354]

Thank you. I'm sure those aftermarket bumpers will sell fast. It looks a lot better than stock.

[@ngockhanhnguyen5123]

@@sammygoris i want upgrade too, but idk where I can sell bumper in Australia. Do you know?

[@RedBull.RedBull]

complaints on engine noise is one terrible thing..

[@audiquagaming]

Turn up the sound system then 😂

[@sabni8668]

Avoid aftermarket headlights 100%. Unless you want burnt out body computers.

[@sammygoris]

Have you had that experience? I've owned a number of aftermarket headlights and had no issues with any of them.

[@bruceyung70]

It's confusing. You bash the car one minute then praise it another minute and it's like you are not sure.

[@sammygoris]

I think I expressed some disappointments, but I wouldn't call it 'bashing' the car. The idea is that there are pros and cons - I'm not biased to loving every aspect or hating every aspect of the car. And as a viewer, you've got to decide for yourself whether those pros or cons matter to you. Overall, despite a few cons with the features in the interior, it is a good car that's done what we've wanted it to do: be a nice premium everyday commuter car that hasn't skipped a beat.

[@DACRACKMANE]

thinking bout buying one , i have 15 saved up ! just couple more months 😅

[@sammygoris]

Nice! All the best! Amazing cars...

[@cangelus]

You lost me at "I hate that there's no power passenger seat." Hate? Pretty strong word for that. Get real.

[@sammygoris]

If I complained that it didn't have massaging seats, then I would agree with you. But if you know anything about cars, you'd know that in this situation, powered seats are a completely reasonable thing to complain about. No other Lexus has ever come with manual seats. It's not consistent with their brand and product. It's a 2012 car not a 1990s car. It is not a sophisticated and expensive piece of technology. And the fact that in a trim level they offer power controls for the driver but not the passenger is crazy. I think your comment (incl. 'get real') seems to be a pretty strong comment for such a small comment made in an owner's review video which is all about an owner's personal opinion on a car.😆
