Original v 2017 Facelift

[Lecsus]

I'm wondering if anyone on here has changed from the Pre-2017 car to the post 2017 model?

If so, have you found much difference? 

I have a 2014 IS300H Luxury, which is coming up on 80,000 miles and am thinking of changing up to the facelift model to keep things fresh. However they seem to be making big money, much more than the pre facelift models. I'm on the fence a bit as my one is running perfectly and I do love  the car, however a few small things annoy me in it (Poor Headlights, leather wearing badly, terrible fake engine noise) and I'm wondering if they've ironed out these problems?...

One of the things I like about the car is how quiet it is. I don't find the fake engine noise a problem - I never turn it on.

Do you mean that you'd like better fake engine noise?

i went from a 63 plate luxury to a 17 plate Fsport

the fake engine noise is still present but you can turn it off as with your car

i cant compare the ride as the Fsport will have firmer suspension over a luxury

i like the 10" screen & the Fsport clocks , the LED headlight are ok never had

an issue with them and the leather is still looking great.

I have the fake engine noise off most of the time too, however I like the idea of an artificial sound for sporty driving. I just don't think that they made much of an effort to get it right in this car...
