What Owners Say
"Very good acceleration. Handling is fair."
Kevin K., AL (2012 Lexus ES)"Transmission "hunts" more than it should. I think it's a computer problem. The dealer says it's fine. Overrevs when strating from short stop at stop sign. Works normally if stop for a few seconds before starting."
