I daily drive my LC and 3 days a week I commute 25 miles each way down the freeway from north county San Diego to downtown.
Once on the freeway I through on adaptive cruise control and just let the car do the rest. It breaks, speeds up, helps steer and in traffic it does a really good job too...
Do you not want your knees to touch the side? I feel like no matter how wide the front seat is I will naturally take all the room available and rest my knees on the sides.
Fwiw Iām 6ā1 and about 180lbs and I think itās well proportioned. Roomy but not overall big that makes daily driving it a...
Iāll likely look into an aftermarket roof rack that is better for fuel efficiency and wind noise at some point.. may even go roof cross bars at some point instead. Iāll really only put up my surfboard, snowboard, and maybe a Thule rack down the road.
I will say the stock fe rack was really...
I hear wind noise first kick up at around 45 mphs and then much more pronounced (still not crazy loud) at highway speeds. I have stock fe roof rack and stock tires (Michelin).
Road surface wise it doesnāt seem to make a difference, but I live in coastal Southern California near estuaries and...
The noise in the cabin (mostly wind noise i think) gets decently loud as the LC gets up to speed. Seems like it comes off of side mirrors, windshield, and then the FE roof rack too.
Any ideas out there on how to reduce - obviously taking the rack off would help OR not driving such a boxy car -...
Awesome - really appreciate the insight. After your first comment I frantically searched the house for that old filter, even dug through the trash bins a bitā¦
Appreciate this input I didnāt know about the ādouble gasketā issue but got worried when I googled it. Here is a pic of the oil filter I removed with the gasket still along the lining (I believe) - lmk if that doesnāt look right!
novice question here (this will actually be my first personal oil change) but the manual says 5.9 quartz, would using a full 6 quartz be okay? I guess I could try and measure out the final one too if notā¦
Just wanted to bump this as itās coming available this weekend. If anyone is interested lmk and I can connect you with you my sales guy. At msrp too.
Looks nice! Iām getting my bike rack set up and looking forward to hauling my bike that way vs in my q5 I used to remove the tire and have to stack it all in the backā¦ and the bike would scratch up the side wood panelsā¦.
Did you reset your mpg calc? It was mentioned somewhere that the cars sit idling at port and if you donāt reset it when you get your car the total mpg gets skewed by that.
Sounds like the tundra is a great fit.
Iād say the only other thing to consider is daily driving a truck vs suv. I personally think the LC drives better than any of the trucks I test drove in terms of handling and being nimble.
I commute 150 miles a week to downtown San Diego so the comfort...
I know there was an aftermarket storage tray that could be added to old LCs, see link below. I honestly think for me this is all I need. Hoping someone creates one soon for lc250ā¦...
How do you activate traffic jam assist? I was having a hard time doing it. I know how to do normal cruise control but couldnāt figure out traffic jam assist.
Yeah with Toyotas version you canāt go full hands free for too long - 20 seconds maybe - you just have to lightly rest hands on steering wheel.
Iāve found that when on freeway with little to no traffic I feel pretty comfortable doing little interactions if thereās congestion I let it do speed...
Car pretty much self drives on freeway with minimal driver interaction necessary. It keeps speed, breaks & speeds up when necessary, and steers as well.
I went for a surf this morning and left the house at 5am to drive south about 15 miles. Once I got on freeway I set cruise control; kicked my...
Tundra blows away LC here. When I was picking up my LC I sat in a tundra and itās not really comparable. At first I was annoyed but as Iāve driven the car Iāve realized I donāt really need that much storage - wallet goes (and mostly stays in) center console, sunglasses in door side pocket along...
Mine rattles. Itās not that bad and I only really notice if I look for it or need to use thet mirror. Seems like it happens on quite a few so hopefully they solve the fix.
Noise wise I donāt hear it from the rattling but the big mirror def cause wind noise. I have an FE and believe the wind...
99% sure you can lightly rest handā¦. Not sure for how long as I still donāt fully trust it, but Iāve def done a few mins in a row of very light touching (like a few fingertips of one hand on wheel) with no warnings
I donāt think so, i think itāll vary the levels of electric and gas depending on situation but donāt think it goes electric only like a plug in hybrid would.
Good questionā¦. I would say drive quality in general certain parts of the Audi are better and certain parts of the LC are better.
Handling, high speed on the highway, turning radius and going up hill goes to the Audiā¦ I notice the 4cyl the most when going up hill, feels like it really has to...
First time LC owner. Was on the hunt for a new car coming off back to back Audis (currently 2012 q5, before that an a4). Iām an active young professional living in Southern California and have a wife, kid (2 kids prob in next few years), and a dog.
Was cross shopping quite a few cars - X5...
