Default New to Lexus.

Hi guys whats up? Just wanted say hi and ask a few noob questions. Ok how under rated is the 2.5 at 204hp and 185TQ. I know I Lexus is a classy car and a great ride but 204hp v6 in a AWD. I love the car( Have not picked it up up car is being deleivered on Thursday) but coming from a 04 Maxima SE with 265hp and 255TQ what should a expect. Thank you in advance.

Welcome to the CL. You will miss it the power especially in the AWD. I dont miss it much on the RWD.

The Lexus is such a great ride...you might just forget some loss of power you had back then...and with snow driving you wont regreat having the trade off of 250awd then oppose getting a 350 with the power you were used to. Welcome and enjoy your stay here at the forums
