ClubLexus First Impressions

If you want leather, a heated steering wheel, a better radio, and a glass roof with a little fun factor, this is the one for you. Personally, I’d argue that a glass roof and “sport” don’t go together that well, but such is modern car/SUV life. I’m also a little surprised that more tech isn’t standard at this price point.
