Picked up my S in Manhasset NY on Thursday morning. I had all day to play around but have been working since then. Basically it's been parked for most of the last 2 days.
1) Delivery Day: Simple paperwork to sign it took about 15 minutes at the store
In contrast I had a Lexus lease in May and I signed so many forms and legal mumbo-jumbo I took home a 6 inch thick folder. Add to that 4 hours of haggling, $1000 for "lease insurance" and ........you get the idea
DS in Manhasset NY Steve was great, informative and patient with my newbie questions. No swag but I did ask about it. He told me to come back Monday and he would put together a bag of goodies. No gift items at this location.
2) Impressions of the car:
Early opinion: Best car I have ever owned but I will try not to give a fandom review.
NO issues at pick-up and I used the checklist to go over the car closely
The standard radio....eh it's OK but not great
The wifi seems weak. My phones wifi is strong in my driveway but the cars reception is very weak. Maybe get a wifi extender?
Of course the S takes a little getting used to driving with the regen and all but that will come in time.
Quiet, oh sooooo quiet Smooth ride,cuts corners, quick etc.... but you guys have heard all that before.
I considered the summon as gimmicky and I would not really use it other than to show it off. But I realized a use of it for me in the first day. Went out to lunch, parked in the lot of a restaurant (far away of course) and pushed the front end a little over the line of the stall. Used summon to back up a couple of feet. Cool!
Gave several rides to family/friends and showed off the torque/quickness, AP (everyone asks about AP)
It is really hard not to hit the accelerator hard I find myself doing this often
I was stalked by an older couple who followed me until I stopped to ask me questions
The phone app. actually works! As it should. My Lexus app. is very finicky and often cannot find the car.
Don't get me started on the Lexus "Lane assist"
I could not be happier, face muscles are hurting I was nervous about getting a car that would need to go right back to the service center. No need and I'm sure this is the norm.
All in all one great car and I am looking forward to next week when I take it upstate and put it thru some mountain paces
