I picked up my vehicle yesterday after one of the weirdest buying experiences I've ever had. Nevertheless, it's in my garage.
My other vehicle is the LX 600 F-Sport (not impacted by the engine recalls) which I just don't have the heart to take on the trails yet, so my driving impressions are in direct comparison to that vehicle.
I drove the vehicle about 50 miles in both city and Los Angeles rush hour traffic. I'm happy to say I got 20.6 MPG.
The vehicle is very smooth, and has enough torque to help you forget it's a 4 cylinder. It feels like a flagship vehicle. No rattles, fine finishes and a well proportioned cabin. The storage space is a bit tight, which I think is a Toyota thing. My LX has a similar limitation. The coolbox center console is a bit bigger in the 600.
My vehicle was supposed to come fitted with a roof rack. I was surprised it didn't. The dealership adjusted the price for me after calling the port. My impression was the port is suffering from supply chain issues.
I did get all weather floor mats which was not on the sticker in addition to the standard carpet floor mats. I also got the cargo mat, the smaller tow hitch cover and the cargo net.
The app initially showed the VSC traction control fault some members reported seeing, but when I closed the app and restarted it, it was gone. There wasn't an alert on the dash.
I had to run a few errands on the way home and had a lot of people stop me in the parking lot. This car gets more attention than other vehicles I have owned.
I'm thinking of tinting the windows a bit, and getting tires, skid plates and other goodies in the months to come.
