The cle cab

The buying experience was good but the showroom took an extra week for the paperwork, the driving experience is good but could be better, the looks of the car are quite impressive and the performance is very bad compared to the 340i and this car cost 36lakhs more and now I feel why I didn't go for the 340i. This car has very low mileage and too much maintenance, the interior is luxurious but gets dirty so often that this is a headache the car is OK not so extraordinary.

Silent cabin, smoother driving, music system amazing.

My friend uses this one. amazing driving experience smooth driving. interior quality is next to fab. performance is like setting a gear on (D) and the car is ready to take off! The music system is amazing. I know the service as I own a Fortuner so there is no doubt after sales in Toyota and Lexus!
