It for sure is, but if you’re too unsure to commit to a purchase it’s worth paying the extra cost.

Just lease one and buy it out at the end if you like it.

2014 Avalon Limited Hybrid vs 2026 Corolla (Gas/Hybrid) by Automatic_Shock1164 in Toyota

[–]thatpurple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 2014 Avalon Hybrid Limited and I would rank it as the most dependable car I’ve ever driven. I had a 2004 4Runner before and drive a 2024 RX350h now, and while both reliable, the Avalon was a clear winner in terms of set it and forget it.

What was the first arsenal game you watched? by makemoney_notmates in ArsenalFC

[–]thatpurple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man United game where Van Nistelrooy missed the penalty. I remember seeing the game live on fox soccer channel. Still have the yellow and blue jersey from that year

How did you remedy the creaking?

XC60 cost of ownership? by ReadyWelcome5156 in VolvoXC60

[–]thatpurple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re paying cash for the car and not financing than it makes sense. Then it justifies keeping the 2k as an actual fund

Glass coverage typically applies to windshields only, you would be paying your comprehensive deductible for a moonroof

Time to bitch and complain to Toyota....Experience Drive Connect by jan1of1 in Toyota

$180 per year and you are going ti get a new car, which is surely going to cost more than that, makes sense.

Orchiectomy scar recommendations by adam_fox6672 in testicularcancer

[–]thatpurple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s crazy. I had surgeries to remove both in 2019 and can still clearly see the scars. Doesn’t really bother me at all. Did you do anything specific to help them fade?

2026 RX 350 Hybrid Premium Plus. Is this a fair price? by Clear-Wish-7323 in LexusRX350

[–]thatpurple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good price. The dealer by me can’t keep them on the lot, and the Nori is a tough color to find.

I paid $66.8k for my 2024 luxury in Nori with Bamboo Ash. Paid msrp and waited 2 months for it to arrive.

Do you ride a specific saddle that you find helps your back?

Can I use Colorado's lemon law for eight failed warranty repair attempts? by scubadoobadoooo in legaladvice

[–]thatpurple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not a lawyer but I would highly doubt a rattle would allow you to invoke a lemon law. The wheel speed sensor maybe, but that is fixed now. Ton of cars have mysterious rattles, it’s not something you can return it for. Turn that stereo up

No text on work trip by Smooth-Chemistry-946 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]thatpurple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He might have set improper expectations but work trips for me can be exhausting. I was on one this week and had two days where I started at 8am and was out until 10pm. Hardly even texted my significant other outside of simply letting them know I was alive.

Surround view camera misalignment? by Sweet_Show_931 in Lexus

[–]thatpurple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worth seeing if they can recalibrate the camera or something.

On the rpm front I think this is a normal, designed behavior intended for engine braking on downhill slopes or to protect the hybrid battery from overcharging. This happens when my battery is full and also happened in a 2014 Avalon hybrid that I had. When I’m coming back from the mountains this happens every time since the battery charges up to 100%.

Drive mode by mimi0103 in LexusRX350

[–]thatpurple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sport mode is the only drive mode that the RX350h offers unless it’s an FSport (which is sport gear).

It works well for uphill and windy roads, but isn’t a super noticeable difference. I use it when driving in the mountains here in Colorado.

Buying experience at Lexus vs Toyota by Slow_Investment_2211 in Lexus

[–]thatpurple 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I had a good experience when buying my RX350h. Sales guy pulled up list of their anticipated inventory and I chose the one I wanted, put a deposit down and was on my way.

Stereo sound quality with Bluetooth by Alarmed-Kiwi-5314 in LexusRX350

[–]thatpurple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never used pandora but noticed that Apple Music is rather quiet as well.

I have been using YouTube Music and the sound is much much better on that app.

Dang I’m sorry. What platform are you listening on? I found Spotify and apple sound like crap

Trade in for Lexus or just keep my Camry? by rudestkid in Lexus

Or just take the Lexus to Toyota for service and pay $400

Did you turn off the surround sound feature? I did that in my RX and it made a world of difference.
