....until the motor fails.......
Or they corrode from the inside, or the double glazing goes cloudy............hmmm, maybe I'll just make sure mine are properly shut.
Rain sensitive wipers, self closing doors, automatic lights.............answers to questions that nobody asked imo, not to mention unreliable and costly to fix.
You can keep the rain sensing W/W's and the automatic lights but self closing doors - yes please. Never had a problem on my S320 (18 yrs young) and no cloudy D/Glazing. Mind you the windscreen and the rear window had bad lamination at the bottom. Windscreen got replaced during my six years but not rear screen. Just had to put black insulation tape along bottom and part of the sides of glass to hide from MOT inspector.
Great not to see any clouding on the Lexus - another plus! - and its quieter than the double glazed Merc IMO. But what if,,,d/glazed, soft closure LS400 Mk 2 - (oh and electrical folding mirrors) would have totally destroyed Mercedes sales.
Not so sure Stuart, unfortunately for Toyota they struggle with our badge snobbery in the UK, so being better isn't enough, though I do wonder if the German brands will suffer from lack of exclusivity, now our roads are full of them?
