Great cars! My LC500 is just over two years old. I have had no issues beyond oil changes. Breaks are good if broken in properly. On my last two I replaced the run flats on purchase and never had a flat in more than 7 years. I carry a plug in air compressor in my trunk even with the current run flats that I would have replaced if I did not lease the car. The 20 inch setup is probably a little smoother and then you may want to find the setting that changes the suspension settings. Great car

^^^^There was a member on here that actually sold his LC because he was irritated with the dust. He also ;complained about brake noise. I suggested the bedding procedure, but he had other ideas

I've been running Tom's Racing Pads (Performer) on the front of my 2018 LC500 for a couple of weeks now - a couple of hundred miles. No more dust and quiet as a mouse (so far). I think they actually perform better than the stock high-friction pads. I know they're expensive ($428 delivered), but I paid more for this car than I paid for my first house, so that investment to get quiet almost dust-free pads wasn't an issue for me. I'm also running Tom's air filters, which are reported to add about 7 HP, and no issues with those either.

I am expecting the same top tier reliability that I got from the 2015 IS350 F-Sport that I traded in on the LC500.

PS: I did catch that pun!

^^^^My first house, BRAND NEW, cost $12,960. back in 1966. The $60 bux was for a picture window option that I could not finance at that time, had to raise the cash myself

Where did you read/see that the Tom's air filters add about 7 HP? I have them as well - I know that feeling the 7HP will almost be impossible, but just curious to know where you read that please....
