Default Lateral performance dampers

I recently just did a 24 hour test drive with CarMax with a 2019 Lexus ES 350 Luxury. One thing I was keeping a close eye out for was the suspension. The suspension is definitely smoother than my 2018 Camry, and it definitely meets my needs, but it left more to be desired. Maybe it was due to it still having stock tires and my Camry has QuietTracks, but I was curious if the dampers the Ultra Luxury comes with make a noticeable difference. Has anyone driven both of these and noticed an actual difference when it comes to smoothness?

I have a 2014, so I cannot comment. However, you might want to post on the 2019+ forum since this is the 2013-2018 model years. Just a thought.

If I were you, I’d be more concerned with the first year 8 speed transmission, and the direct/port injection (just ask jgscott, he knows all about that).

My Camry has the exact same 8-speed transmission and port injection and it's about to cross 100k miles without a single issue or worry in the world. Not worried about it.

Correcting a correction that has already been corrected (edit = function has a reason), then still ignoring the update (and going back into a deleted correction) instead of comprehending the update is Retarded all day, every day. Now if you want to tell me you have never corrected something in your whole life? Hopefully you have.

It would be like going back and going over the trashed draft after the Final accurate document had already submitted. Unless of course you live in reverse/backwards. Just because you said ask me.

Try to work on getting a few likes instead of liking to Troll.

Don't let ES2018350 see this mistake, he will bring it back up after it corrected.

Hey-I happened to notice in your mess of a post that you used a slur against people with disabilities. You know that you can advance past a 4th grade writing level in life, right?

You might also find this video helpful:
