Our First Impressions

Similar to the Land Cruiser event, we test drove the LX570 for 20 minutes. Here are my impressions:

• The car feels heavy
• Its appearance is subjective
• Extremely spacious
• The brakes are light
• The transmission is smooth for daily driving but feels heavy during acceleration
• The interior is beautiful
