Each day at startup, I truly love the engine growl. It does settle down a few seconds later but sounds so masculine at ignition.
This is with the standard exhaust.
Coming from an LX, it sounds and drives more like a sports car. It is a bit louder with more interior plastics, but is nearly as comfortable as the LX.
 
Curious to why the switch from the LX?
It was a 2021 and was totally bulletproof. But I had an accident, repaired it and the dealership still offered me top value with nearly 90k miles on it.
I would have kept it longer but the rear suspension was making funny noises from time to time, despite a full repair at the Lexus facility.

Do you have the stock exhaust or the Lexus/TRD Catback exhaust installed?
