Amazing Luxury Package

The car is very underrated in the era of BMW & Mercs, Overall the package is outstanding, the interiors are class-leading plush leather & top-class fit and finishes, and 8 yr of a comprehensive warranty, and Lexus protection are additional cheery on the cake. The only thing is EMT, not sure how it would pan out over the years. Super excited to own the car & enjoy a trouble-free ownership experience.
